This is a recent one that came up, but this happens every few months. If payment processors just did their jobs there wouldn’t be as much of a need for other ways to do transactions. It’s also still a pain in the ass to send money to individuals in other countries even when everything works the way it’s intended.

Cornucopias were not a commonly seen thing in my region or most regions of the world. We have fruit bowls instead. In the 00s a lot of people had fake fruit in a big bowl just for decoration since it was such a trend. I saw fruit bowls a lot more than I ever saw cornucopias. But nobody talks about the missing bowl. I didn’t even know what cornucopias were called for a long time. Funny thing is I thought they were called looms because when I was learning to read I got fixated on the text in logos and spent a long time staring at that one. I remember looking at my underwear tag while shitting and thinking “wtf is a loom? It must be that cone thing the fruit is coming out of.” That’s what makes it weird, the consistency of it plus the amount of people who have actual memories associated with the cornucopia.

Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don’t use google’s other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don’t remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

I finally have a reason to share this wikipedia article which contains the phrase “sire of dark ronald”

Oh you think a particular business practice is shitty? You know companies aren’t charities right?

Me when I post on an obscure video games message board 13 hours per day for 10 years and there are still people who don’t know gaming is beneath me.

I thought they had to skip 9chan due to the way old software checks chan versions.

That thing’s not coming to help us. It’s just us, the jeans, and god as our witness.

You just have to let these things burn themselves out like an oil fire.

I’m pretty sure Tim Hortons has had access to AI menu changes for years now. It would explain a lot.

They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.

It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.

If you scream you die.

How is this notable or interesting then? I thought we were all just accepting that malicious software is an inherent part of all open platforms.

My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.

One of the only reasons I used vivaldi for a while.

Hey did you work with any of the fuchsia people who got laid off? Do you know if the project is planned to be cancelled any time soon?

Sometimes it’s their own folder in their own sandboxed app directory. A lot of apps do that now to avoid permissions issues. Like the GBA emulator I use no longer puts game saves in the user’s root directory so you can’t even see them without a USB connection to a PC, and even if you do that it’s extreme obfuscated.

This shirt needs subway surfers footage in the corner.
