Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite You have to prove theorems, not just state them.

This article nicely sums up my suspicion about the state of 'Xwitter'…

"Twitter is now a siloed attention roulette machine just like TikTok. That was the plan when Elon took over and they succeeded. There's no going back."

I really object to the suggestion that Musk had a plan.

@goerp Yeah, that would give him too much credit. 😏

Idea: Zoom introduces a Widevine option to DRM protect Zoom calls to prevent MS Recall from spying on me.

My TL;DR on this video: What happened to ? It’s floundering due to + generative AI.

So if you have installed, always make sure you have a media player window open, playing some DRMed content, I dunno, Disney’s Frozen or some such. Paused, perhaps, or you’ll start losing it. Then it won’t record you.

@M0CUV It will record the whole screen but the area with Disney's frozen.

Starting to get sick of this stuff, Brave. I should not be trying to figure how to turn this off, because it should never have turned on without asking me first.

@kentbrew I thought brave was just a crypto-bro browser.

@vincent I've been running Brave since it came out because when I close it, it wipes all history. All the crypto nonsense happened later.

Well our dishwasher that I bought a year and a half ago has started giving us a "failure to drain" message. My husband has disassembled it and the motors are working fine. Nothing is clogged up. Maybe it's the electronic controller. Why do modern appliances suck so bad? I'm about to just start washing dishes by hand I'm not buying another one.

Anybody who tells you the top results on Google correspond to quality is trying to sell you something. Literally.

Yesterday, I replied to a question in the Godot forum with a wrong answer (since I misunderstood the question at first). Today, if you google "godot delete pattern", that answer will be displayed as a "featured snippet" right on top. 🙄 (The correct answer is in the same thread, but so far Google hasn't picked up on it)

Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Meta while shove AI down your throat whether you like it or not. If you want to do anything on the Internet, you will HAVE to use AI.

Cory Doctorow was right. The Enshittification is here.
