Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.

Every Internet Child Protection bill:

1:"New child safety bill!!"

2: "Wow great! What's in it?"

1: "Well, you have to give your social security number, a picture of the weakest part of your skull, and your home address to Hammers The Clown. You also have to download COVID 19 into your eyeball once per month."

2:"What that sounds terrible what does that have to do with--"

1:"Wow. Ok. HEY EVERYONE THIS GUY HATES CHILDREN!!!!!!!"

Every article about #mastodon vs #bluesky:

"Mastodo is so WEIRD and CLIQUEY! It's TERRIBLE! It only has a few MILLION users, it is DEAD."

"Bluesky is so WEIRD and CLIQUEY! It's WONDERFUL! It just reached a stunning HUNDRED THOUSAND users, it's SO ALIVE!!!"

Best way to evaluate a conspiracy is ask: "if this were true, how would rich people react?"

If there was secretly a cure for cancer? Rich people would stop getting cancer.

Secret immortality pill? Rich people would stop dying of old age.

There is no exploitable conspiracy that could survive human greed.

It's wild how any vet or conservationist will tell you stress kills animals but when it comes to humans we're all Calvin's Dad about it and like "haha it's good for you it builds character"

Almost no posts for #FlatFuckFriday that I can find in search.

Never forget that just because we lost our history when leaving the various hellsites, that doesn't mean we can't build moments to their glory!

So much stuff in body horror is just how plants actually work.

Organs falling off and becoming new creatures. Limbs erupting overnight and falling off within days. Bees in your privates.

Had no idea Franklin was controversial when #Peanuts came out. Not surprised at all, just didn't know.

Note the similarity of wording to modern bigoted "wellll just keep them out of view" comments.

I recently saw a post huffing that "piracy isn't preservation" and while I REALLY do not care for people who pirate as a default just because they don't want to pay, I'm a gamer.

It is sometimes LITERALLY impossible to obtain some games. It is much, MUCH more often impossible to obtain games in which even one red cent reaches the creator, 100% resale only.

Piracy is the only possible form of long-term preservation for something digital and out of production.

Hopefully this isn't even a hot take anymore but, there's no such thing as 4D chess and there never was.

A lot of people in power really are just dumb motherfuckers and one of the few things they do know is that if they never admit fault, a class of even dumber motherfuckers will think they're geniuses and support them at all costs.

Joe Biden: "I am going to eliminate junk fees that prey on people least able to pay them"

House republicans: heroically throw themselves in front of the legislation to stop it

A shocking amount of guys who make $15,000 a year: "Thank you republicans (ugly cry) you've saved me from socialism yet again"
