I think it's possible that none of his 12 children existing proves he's had sex. As far as I can tell, every single one was either IVF or a surrogate.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the reason Elon Musk gives off such creepy incel vibes is that he has, in fact, never actually had sex.
Most of his various children seem to have been conceived through IVF or similar interventions, I'm starting to think maybe he has a really weird or really small dick and he doesn't want anyone to see it.

I bought all the equipment and learned how to sous vide early in the pandemic as a tool for meal-prepping lunches for the week.
I told people how much I loved it, really appreciated the convenience of letting food cook itself while I did something else.
After 4 years it's time to face the truth: everything that comes out of the sous vide is disgusting.
I've tried and tried to like this thing, recognizing the amazing potential, and even advocated for it to skeptics.
But I was lying to myself.

Fuck unity by the way, if we win I'm flying a "Trump Lost LOL" flag and telling my neighbors to lick taints.

"Can the democrats keep up this momentum for an election cycle!?"
Yeah actually. Easily. That's one of the great things about the timing, the GOP has to scramble to find a message because they can't repeat a lie for a year until it sticks. We only have to keep it up for a few months.
In the meantime:
August: DNC Boost
September: Second Debate Boost (if Trump chickens out this could be a town hall)
October: October Surprise
November: Election
Somewhere in here is the VP pick boost as well.

I'm not saying Go is the worst programming language I've ever used, but it's possible that the worst code I've ever read is written in it.

Can't help but notice all the "The Marvels tanked because it requires too much homework, a movie and two shows!" are kinda weirdly silent about Deadpool 3 requiring 2 seasons of Loki and 13 X-men films.

How long ago did Google just altogether disable the feature in search where adding a "+" before a term means that term is required to be in a result?

2023-08-30 21:08:10

Nothing should surprise me anymore but the right-wing media's stance of "black people should like Trump now because he's a criminal like them" has managed to do just that.

2023-08-20 18:45:19

Between subpoenas for content, storage costs, and a desire to distance himself from the Twitter brand I think there's a not-small chance Musk deletes all data pre-X rebranding, perhaps with the caveat that it's only for non-premium users (so he's not affected).
In fact I'll bet if catturd or someone else like that suggests it on the basis that it will make free users and bluehairs cry, he'll do it.

Hands down the funniest defense of Google I saw after making fun of the African country query thing yesterday was someone trying to legitimately say that the letter K and the letter k are different LETTERS (not just different characters) and therefore there are no African countries that start with a "k" since that's lower case and thus the response is correct.

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":
- DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.
- Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.
This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:
"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"
Google Search is over.

The opening scene from 1995's The Net is meant to establish that Sandra Bullock's character is a nerdy hermit recluse who never leaves, orders food to be delivered from computers, has everything shipped to her door, and talks to people online instead of in the real world.
You're supposed to see her as a weirdo for this and when I saw it at 13 years old I remember thinking she was living my perfect life. I was annoyed when she had to leave home to get the movie started.

I want so badly to switch from Chromium (Brave) to Firefox but the way it handles too-many tabs is still, in 2023, so much worse than how Chrome-based browsers do it.
Chrome (and Brave) do absolutely everything they can to keep all your tabs on the screen, to the point of shrinking the tabs to near-uselessness if need be. Firefox gives up and gives you a stupid scrollbar for tabs almost immediately. Even if you change the minimum tab size, it just renders them in increasingly stupid ways.

"How is he sending cash to Andrew Tate and other right wingers if they're bleeding money, it makes no sense"
It does actually. He's gearing up to declare bankruptcy to get out of paying his employee severance lawsuits and shut the site down. That's why his narrative shifted from "we'll be break-even in June" to "rev down 50%"
He wanted to give his right-wing supporters some of the remaining cash on the way out.

Threads isn't real for me until there's a Web UI and a (free) API I can use to post with in order to leverage my various automations.
Until then it's just kind of a novel curiosity. Neither of these things seem to be much of a priority but I am enjoying watching Twitter implode because other people are using it.

2023-07-05 19:11:53

Oh wow so apparently Tweet threads are now limited to 25 messages per thread.
I assume this is to drive more signups to Twitter Blue, where the character limit has been increased per-tweet.
The way this guy is shaking down every possible revenue angle like he's broke and the rent is due at the end of the week is really stunning. For a guy that didn't care about the economics of buying #Twitter.

"Facebook can't be trusted, they killed XMPP!"
First off, Facebook didn't kill XMPP, Google did.
Secondly, Google didn't either. The iPhone did.
People are walking around these parts acting like it's a mystery that an instant messaging protocol died shortly after the iPhone became popular and put simple polished text-messaging clients in everyone's pockets. Gotta be that darned Facebook.

2023-06-20 02:39:20

Fediverse: The fediverse's strength is that it's built on a completely open protocol so anyone can implement it.
Meta: Can we implement it?
Fediverse: No.

I am now convinced Gordon Ramsey doesn't understand how cheese works.
This is the second time I've seen him take the world's thickest chunk of unmeltable cheese and then do the weirdest shit imaginable to try and melt it, and then serve it like there's nothing amiss
