he keeps hanging out with fascists and receiving money from organizations that support fascists and something about his personal brand in interviews being wearing “Big Tech is gangstalking me” t-shirts also very much rubs me the wrong way

ladybird is a ridiculously unserious project (last I heard they were considering a rewrite in Swift and ignoring everyone who told them why that’s a terrible idea, maybe they’ve given up on that by now) and I frankly have no idea why it’s being hyped over Servo as an independent browser project other than a general willingness in tech to play ball with weird little fascists

e: also this lobste.rs subthread

shoutouts to @dgerard@awful.systems and @mawhrin@circumstances.run for reminding me that Steve Klabnik being really shitty isn’t a temporary state of affairs

you have 16 posts on Lemmy and most of them are you Genuinely Curiously JAQing off about shit you already damn well knew before going into the thread so lol no nobody owes you a fucking explanation

@froztbyte@awful.systems is coming in a bit hot, but they’re not fundamentally wrong. @BlueMonday1984@awful.systems, you’ve received some pointed but good feedback on your writing style recently in MoreWrite and in other threads; I think you’ll be able to make much the same points more persuasively if you incorporate some of that feedback. I also recommend breaking out of doing predictions; I think you might get more mileage and variation out of a journalistic approach, and either way we know from crypto that prediction is a bit of a fool’s errand. these fuckers will remain irrational long after we’ve gone bankrupt, etc.

I’m not gonna force you to do anything; if posts like these are what you’re comfortable with then it is what it is. I just feel like if you break out of your current pattern, you’re capable of achieving great results.

who the fuck are you again? what in the fucking world made you think your 14 comments and 1 post meant you got to decide who gets to have an account here?

no

you know I fucking hate the classism implicit in the common telling of the hitchbot story

“wow! this robot made it just fine through the richer parts of Europe and Canada but the instant it touched Philadelphia they tore it apart!” good. they had better things to do than engage in your weird fucking roleplay.

this is a garbage can with telemetry

all of the technology that came after it is also a garbage can with telemetry

Really hope nobody here did that.

if anyone from here did then they’re fucking banned, but I need better evidence than none and a standard for anti-Semitism that doesn’t include views that are just anti-Zionist and anti-genocide with no hatred behind them

only if you hate fun and embarrassing the shit out of Taco Bell

I’ve just enabled authorized_fetch; give it a try and see if it works!

I’m finally on desktop and the tooltip claims “show hidden posts” and “hide hidden posts”? so that’s new

this might be a federation breakage, or the queue catching up

I have yet to see any roving Brave infosec mall ninjas react to the fact that they plan to do this agentic AI shit too:

Brave gets credit for finding this exploit in Comet, so well done! But how did they find it? Well, Brave is trying to do its own AI agent web browser. Even though this is a fundamentally stupid idea that cannot be secured.

it’s definitely slightly more modern (derogatory) but I don’t think I can agree on it being sleeker

my lemmy came preconfigured for eyes? where we’re going we don’t need eyes

god somehow it’s even worse in the inbox — the whole thing turns to a gigantic placeholder every time you mark a post as read. it’s such a React problem for software to have

yep! I haven’t tried to turn it back on for a.s yet, since last time I did it quietly broke federation for an uncomfortably long period. once we’ve shaken the bugs out of plain federation, I’ll give it a toggle and we can do some testing.

you might be seeing the new version of Lemmy in bits and pieces as your browser grabs the new stylesheet (cachebusting should have prevented this? note to self to make sure that’s not broken again)

so anyway welcome to the new, uglier Lemmy that’s larger in general but somehow worse on mobile

hey fucker, this trash is the new software you love? fuck you
