haha yeah it’s quite fun

disrupting raising humans with bionic parenting

was curious and threw some search queries at the internet. looks like there are a couple of convertor tools out there, although I obvies can’t comment on relative merits worth a damn without spending some time staring at innards and docs/usage

shit wasn’t there another one

oh you did better than I did

5 internet cookies to you

Don’t know how much this fits the community, as you use a lot of terms I’m not inherently familiar with (is there a “welcome guide” of some sort somewhere I missed)

first impression: your post is entirely on topic, welcome to the stubsack

techtakes is a sister sub to sneerclub (also on this instance, previously on reddit) and that one has a bit of an explanation. generally any (classy) sneerful critique of bullshit and wankery goes, modulo making space for chuds/nazis/debatelords/etc (those get shown the exit)

hahaha that’s a wonderfully cursed design placement

(yes I looked up a photo quickly)

oh what’s this doing here presses it

“it’s a failure in our messaging that we didn’t tell you about the thing you’d hate in advance. if we were any good we would’ve gotten out ahead of it (and made you think it’s something else)”

and the thing is, that’s probably exactly the lesson they’re going to be learning from this :|

that’s because you’re discounting quantified dating, and the scorecard he gives partners to fill out

the mozilla PR campaign to convince everyone that advertising is the lifeblood of commerce and that this is perfectly fine and good (and that everyone should just accept their viewpoint) continues

We need to stare it straight in the eyes and try to fix it

try, you say? and what’s your plan for when you fail, but you’ve lost all your values in service of the attempt?

For this, we owe our community an apology for not engaging and communicating our vision effectively. Mozilla is only Mozilla if we share our thinking, engage people along the way, and incorporate that feedback into our efforts to help reform the ecosystem.

are you fucking kidding me? “we can only be who we are if we maybe sorta listen to you while we keep doing what we wanted to do”? seriously?

lol that’s gonna age like milk

from this article

Amazon asked Chun to dismiss the case in December, saying the FTC had raised no evidence of harm to consumers.

ah yes, the company that’s massively monopolized nearly all markets, destroyed choice, constantly ships bad products (whose existence is incentivised by programs of its own devising), and that has directly invested in enhanced price exploitation technologies? that one? yeah, totes no harm to consumers there

the only positive is that their carousel pitch is at least honest about the desire

and that list of companies who’ve supposedly used it is telling, I guess

the rest of this….oh dear god

ah yes, the dynamite guy award show, a fine institution of the ages

Great And Wise Senior Founder Leader Father McManperson mullenweg is goin’ real hard

at this point starting to feel like there’s a need for leaderboard of companies eating themselves

I saw this over the weekend and the title itself is rather lovely, but even more hilariously it’s from the atlantic

evidence of wider continued rising of the tide against saltman’s bullshit grows

I endorse this usage, and am now 100% in favour of popularising “founder mode” as a term if we do this

please don’t bring that hellhole and its bullshit here

no thanks
