Q is a cult built not by conspiracy or some mastermind but by the confluence of the internets curation algorithms curating social groups for maximum engagement. Evolved by inhuman hands to fit the bill.

was looking at cloud storage prices, and Google has an extra agreement now, for Generative AI, considering this is for storage my best guess is they'll use whatever you store there to collect data (which yeah they always do) but now for generating content for other people.

Kids obviously have terrible opinions, but truly the worst one is preferring chicken breast to chicken thigh.

Holy crap. I've just rediscovered https://lycos.com/, and it looks like it's actually giving me some pretty good search results?

My brain just broke.

I needed to understand the angles on Threads federation in a more rigorous way, so I took a few days to think through and write up my sense of the benefits, risks, and available risk mitigations, along with loopholes that need closing and questions to discuss with fediverse administrators.

This is a blisteringly hot subject for me, so it's hard to keep my head cool enough to understand other people's trade-offs, but I'm trying.

Well well well, what do we have here. If it isn’t Murderbot, and what appears to be a second murder-oriented bot.

Nana is a genuine icon, both as an unfinished masterpiece and as a brilliant drama, with a growing number of fans worldwide, particularly in the lesbian community. Kris Busch explores the series, and what makes it so irresistible to queer fans.

Anyone have tips for good gaming mice?

Special features, basically anything that would require a special app in Windows, need Linux support to be part of my purchase decision. I'm ok with needing third party apps for this support, though first party would be ideal.

Gaming is mostly , , and similar games. Not a competitive FPS or RTS player.

My Corsair mouse is great but the mouse wheel button is dead. The wheel functionality works fine, but the button under it is dead. I would like it maybe slightly heavier(I find heavier mice easier to control)

@anniethebruce I've been using the Fenek Standard issue for a while and really enjoy it. It's not super fancy but its a well built, comfortable mouse. And it helps support @ward and Easymode
