[47] It was easy to accidentally install internet-browser toolbars in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, especially so for Internet Explorer. 2003 was around the time real stopgaps and security measures were rolling out to prevent installing this type of CPU-eating spyware, and as such, you still found PCs infested with this stuff well into 2005 and, in extreme cases, now.

Some of the classic spyware bars were: MyWebSearch, MySearch, 2020 Search, PowerStrip, Browser Accelerator, DogPile, GoodSearch, Altavista, NetCraft, EarthLinkSearch, NeoPetsSearch, MapStan.net, Teoma, Access One, AimAtSite, ULTRABAR, AskJeevesOfficialBar, Addresses.com, BadAssBuddySearch, and SpiderPilot.

if smell posts were a thing: this post would stunkify your timeline. you would have to filter out smell posts in the mastodon settings or disable the functionality entirely or cover the smell bar on your mobile device and/or desktop pc.

I am bewildered by this type of advertisement. What else can the magic toothpick do for me?

reading this corporate self-help book and came across this gem of a sentence:

"By then I was thinking profound and professional thoughts like Cool!"

Something I never thought I'd see, an animated series for one of my favorite games, Golden Axe. And on.. Comedy Central? 😂 Intrigued and psyched to see this.

@jake4480 this is one of those "good ideas" that i'm glad got approved. some goof executive in a cheap suit has a decent sense of humor and some sense for the unique and creative.

My favorite thing about hoarding retro technology is carrying it all up to my second floor apartment before deciding I don't actually want it

Since I created https://jointhefediverse.net one year ago, it has been translated by volunteers to 15 languages.

Huge thanks to everyone who's been involved with this project!

I need a laugh track in my television shows to tell me when to laugh for i am a demon masquerading as a human being.

@buru5@mstdn.games avatar

knowing the base rules, clever grammar, and beautiful/cool/interesting sentences are all well-and-good, but what i find is the hardest part of writing anything is structure. this doesn't only apply to telling stories, but also writing a formal essay and anything else; how should the paragraphs be ordered? obviously in some coherent structure with transitions that make sense and a flow that flows, but how do you do this successfully? that is the hardest part for me.

i think a good compromise is to write stream-of-consciousness, then mold that afterwards; move stuff around, delete stuff, and then maybe refine a rough outline from the stream. i've done this once or twice, and it seemed to produce decent results.
