IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don’t think that particular thing is their fault.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.

Yep, that counts. And honestly, it counts for a lot more to me than speculative art trading and hoarding.

Can this “feature” be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Realistically? I think it very much is. If you can’t make money with art either by producing or buying/selling/owning it then pretty much no one cares.

When is the last time you genuinely saw someone care about a work of art breaking new ground, or for it delving into truly novel understanding, or due to it invoking feelings in the recipient?

Like the outrage ober the self-shredding Banksy? Oh noes, so much value destroyed how could he!!1

This kind of headline makes me sick: “Work of art worth X currency” - because of course it’s only the financial speculative aspect that makes art valuable and no one cares about anything else. Disgusting.

From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”

Putin chambers

“Unrelenting darkness within him”? I thought that’s why Uncle Xenu installed his Thetan pump so those can be sucked out like some sort of anti-midichlorians.

Yeah that’s really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.

“Temporarily suspended” is not the same as “dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again”. The latter is what’s called for and what these women deserve to see.

Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I’m totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.

Ew.

I know Elon Twitler is a giga troll but now he’s just taking the piss. He is probably going to fund his own legal bills against the unfairly terminated devs of the company he had to be forced to purchase.

He can change the name to Twitler. Not a big change but much more fitting.@Technological_Burger

You’re an amazing human being and I am in awe of what you have managed to create! The Patreon was my easiest join ever and I’m happy to hear that buying you a coffee will actually buy you a coffee (or other tasty beverage) going forward :)

What a lovely read. Very reminiscent of Doctorow’s style and tone and I’m here for it.

Let’s hope you end up completely and utterly wrong though. (I don’t think you will.)

So, I really hate taking a laptop into meeting rooms so unless I know I’ll have to share my screen I (used to) take an A4 sized paper notebook and a pen to jot down notes.

Recently I upgraded to a ReMarkable 2 which, while certainly not inexpensive, has so been worth it for me.

I do type pretty efficiently on one of my mechanical keyboards, but putting my thoughts into handwriting is a different experience entirely and I always want to retain this option especially for personal one-on-ones.
