  • This is my problem with it.

    Social media, the big ones that everyone uses, are a blight on society. They are worse than cancer and they need regulation and control.

    Really, the bigger problem is the monetization of data, and the ever-deeper orificices that they try to dig into for said data.

    But I digress.

    At the same time, they are private industries running a public (ish) forum.

    Historically, we’d expect the forum owners to be responsible about the content they are presenting, and ensure that it doesn’t reflect poorly on them or their community.

    In other words…you wouldn’t see the grocer keeping hate speech up on his community board…but if you did, I’m sure a lot of people would choose a different grocer.

    The social media giants are taking a page right out of the book of Mormon, and gotten itself so engrained into modern society that trying to separate yourself from it will, at some level, result in social exile. That’s bad.

    Now theres a company backed by an increasingly adversarial nation-state that is in charge of a shit ton of that data. That’s bad.

    There’s a lot of bad. Ultimately, it’s a highly nuanced issue.

    My last acid trip involved spending a night at a campsite. I’m not really sure how or why…we didn’t have a camper…or a tent. We just found a patch of grass in a rather busy campground and tripped balls in the open all night.




  • Yep. It’s always when I’m adding a payment method to like a credit card or something.

    The ones that are web-based and block password vault auto fill…on desktop…those really grind my gears.

    Also, is it me, or is android really bad about detecting when something is a username/password field and the vault auto fill should be suggested


  • Weird, that’s one character off from my Paramount+ password. I know from typing it on every fucking STB and console that I own and painstakingly quadruple-checking each character when it fails.

    You’d think I’d just change to a passphrase but nah. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Too busy ranting about user unfriendly problems that shouldn’t exist in modern STB apps.
