i feel like i mention it every 3 months, but does anyone else remember when Bellingcat managed to reveal the locations of secret military bases through a hack of the run-tracking app, "Polar"?

it is genuinely embarrassing how many white men talk about 1970s Irán like it was Southern California, spoiled and corrupted by stinky brown religion.

@mitch@posts.dumb.stuff.donaberger.xyz avatar

I don't know how more simply I can express this: Pre-Islamic Revolution Irán was really not great either. It was a monarchy with a secret police apparatus that murdered millions.

The takeaway that Americans should have from Iranian history is deep sympathy for a group of citizens who are otherwise trapped inside 200 years of brutal oppression.

Oh, ok. We're not technically in a recession, it's just rich people's greed expanding unchecked at a rate that will eventually either consume us, or consume them. Ok yeah that helps me feel better about it.

Windows being ‘easier to use’ than Linux was a lie, just look at how they have to incorporate AI assistants for the poor users! UNIX had super intuitive man pages since the 70s take that!!

Been trying to figure out how to phrase the next era of my / studio

If it's my partner and I making games, but she's a very silent artist partner and wants zero exposure, do I just roll the "single creator" angle?

It feels weird, but also a lot of single creator games sure have lots of contractors so shrug?

Like if I say "couple", EVERYONE gonna zero in on that. The angle they'll want is couple interviews. And, well. No.

In response to this post I wrote this morning, I keep seeing folks saying, “just switch to DuckDuckGo!”

DuckDuckGo is not a 1:1 solve. There is too much important information buried specifically in Google that it does not have direct access to, including:

  • 400+ years of book scans, including of copyrighted material not available elsewhere
  • The largest easily accessible history of Usenet
  • The easiest-to-use archive of patent filings
  • A number of newspaper scans not available elsewhere

@ernie Jesus, you're right. I never thought about Google being the last remaining public archive of Usenet. That might actually be solvable, thanks to the many Usenet providers still out there.

You know how powerful politicians throw their wife under the bus when they get caught doing something borderline treasonous?

Once, just once, I wanna see the wife bite back by publicly divorcing the dude and going on record with ALL the dirt. I hate thinking that they're in on it, or cool with taking the blame.

Bifocals let eyes focus every other week. Or is it twice a week?

@Binder you're mistaken, unfortunately. the 'bi' part of the focals refers to your eyes' inherent sexuality.

@SallyStrange yep! it's so strange but i learned how to do it from an episode of Psych, lol.

one of the main characters was raised by his father to list every thing he sees in a room, then repeat the things after they leave. i started doing that because i am an insufferable nerd, and it started to improve my photographic memory.

after 10 years of this i'm at a point where my wife makes fun of me for being able to recall menus and books after glancing at them, lol.
