DirkMcCallahan,

Bonus points: The service has the entire run of a show, but then they remove the whole series when you’re only 3 episodes away from the end.

DirkMcCallahan,

The real lesson here is that clear, unambiguous communication is key.

DirkMcCallahan,

I used to live near this Thai place that closed and reopened “under new management” every few months or so. They kept the name and even had the same menus, except sometimes they’d cross out items in Sharpie and write new items in the margin.

It was the best restaurant in town, and I admired their persistence.

DirkMcCallahan,

It’s so absurd. It feels like half of the websites out there actively don’t want me to visit them.

DirkMcCallahan,

Thank goodness for Firefox. Google is really doing their best to make the Internet unusable.

DirkMcCallahan,

Don’t forget removing benches so that the homeless can’t sleep on them (capitalist solution, of course).

DirkMcCallahan,

This would have been a hilarious Dexter gag.

DirkMcCallahan,

Well, fuck. This was the ONE social media site that I put my data on, and that was out of necessity (job hunting). I know it’s not the same, but this sort of feels like the Equifax breach.

DirkMcCallahan,

I always say, “Um, I think so. I guess schedule it and I’ll cancel it later if I have to?” Then there’s an awkward silence while they put it into the system.

Worst part of the dentist by far.

What are your thoughts on a user-driven, officially unofficial radio station for Lemmy?

For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it. So I thought I’d see what Lemmy thinks about the concept, before I go all in and start investing in licensing fees, better...

DirkMcCallahan,

This is a wonderful idea! I’ll definitely be following this project.

DirkMcCallahan,

You know that some guest DJ is going to play Rick Astley all hour long.

DirkMcCallahan,

“I beseech you to control him if you can.”

This line is going to be EPIC when they make a Trump mini-series.

DirkMcCallahan,

Sounds like a money laundering scheme.

DirkMcCallahan,

Putting the “Queen” back in Queen Amidala.

MS Edge browser wants really hard to stay (www.theverge.com)

Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?.. then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like…Are you really sure you wanna use...

DirkMcCallahan,

You want us to use Edge? Then stop sucking, and respect our privacy. Oh, wait…that’s the antithesis of Microsoft’s philosophy.

DirkMcCallahan,

I use one every day. I could probably write an essay on why, but one reason sticks out: tactile buttons. It’s great to be able to skip a track without having to poke around on a screen to find the virtual button.

DirkMcCallahan,

And you’d better believe that they’ll have twice-a-year price hikes, Netflix-style.

DirkMcCallahan,

I love the small-town feel of it. It almost feels like the old-school forums, where you felt like part of a community.

The relative sparsity of comments is a major negative, but I’m hopeful that that’ll change with time.

DirkMcCallahan,

Remember when the environment improved AND workers were happier because WFH was a thing?

DirkMcCallahan,

“You wouldn’t download a car.”

“You wouldn’t hit mute during the commercials on a television broadcast.”

DirkMcCallahan,

That’s why you drink alone for 6 hours and hope that someone talks to you.

DirkMcCallahan,

Very cool! I love stuff like this.

DirkMcCallahan,

Michael Cohen was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! MR. COHEN WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS.

DirkMcCallahan,

This does lend credence to the “He’s intentionally tanking Twitter” theory.

DirkMcCallahan,

They were such hypocrites, as if Yoda and Yaddle weren’t banging one out behind the scenes at every opportunity.

DirkMcCallahan,

Next you’ll be telling me that the neighbor installed a hot tub in his apartment and it ended up shorting out the building’s electricity, causing me to miss a very important alarm.

DirkMcCallahan,

Disappointed they didn’t survey the whole nation. It’d be funny to see figures like “0.1%” for Florida or Hawaii.

DirkMcCallahan,

Nice community idea! I’ll definitely be subscribing.

A Lab Test That Experts Liken to a Witch Trial Is Helping Send Women to Prison for Murder in Multiple U.S. States (www.propublica.org)

The “lung float” test claims to help determine if a baby was born alive or dead, but many medical examiners say it’s too unreliable. Yet the test is still being used to bring murder charges — and get convictions....

DirkMcCallahan,

Absolutely disgusting. And, sadly, not surprising.

DirkMcCallahan,

Reminds me of Coal Mine, a hilarious song from one of the best Bob’s Burgers episodes.

DirkMcCallahan,

Just as Elon probably intended.

DirkMcCallahan,

This is fine with me, since clearly they’ll pass their increased profit onto their underpaid employees.

Wait…

DirkMcCallahan,

I spend most of my social media time on the Fediverse, but I do reluctantly use Reddit when I’m looking for information that isn’t available here.

DirkMcCallahan,

The movie about Twitter’s downfall will be absolutely fascinating.

DirkMcCallahan,

Based

I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse

I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian....

DirkMcCallahan,

Whenever I use a browser without adblock, it takes me back to the early 2000s, and not in a good way.

DirkMcCallahan,

Sadly, plenty of idiots will gladly hand over whatever he wants. Even if you COULD trust that he wouldn’t use your data for nefarious purposes, why would you want yet ANOTHER company to have the complete story of your life in a hackable database? Remember the Equifax data breach? Guess most people don’t.

X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history (www.theverge.com)

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the privacy policy reads. It doesn’t include any details on what kind of biometric information this includes — or how X plans to collect it — but it typically involves fingerprints, iris...

DirkMcCallahan,

I’m not worried about Twitter. I’m worried about other platforms following suit. What if we get to the point where the power company wants your biometric data before they’ll let you pay your bill?

DirkMcCallahan,

I’d buy it!

DirkMcCallahan,

Good. Fuck 'em.

DirkMcCallahan,

I like it!

DirkMcCallahan,

In general, or on Lemmy specifically? Because I’ve definitely noticed that some comment replies on Lemmy seem to completely miss the point of the parent comment.

DirkMcCallahan,

The best part is when they refer to it as “The War of Northern Aggression.” I suspect they will someday refer to WWII as “The War of Liberal Aggression.”

DirkMcCallahan,

There is no explaining this kitchen.

DirkMcCallahan,

This is great news, but at the same time, I plan on enjoying my Brother printer for the foreseeable future.

DirkMcCallahan,

Only you could be so bold!
