Corporations will literally do anything except act remotely ethically towards consumers.

I personally don’t see the “Eureka!” moment that big tech apparently does in moving EVERYTHING to the cloud when they struggle to design safe and reliable services as is. The whole cloud stuff just kind of says “sure it will be a privacy nightmare rife for exploitation from bad actors, but THINK of the money we could earn from it in the long run!”

Unless Vermin Supreme decides to host his own instance on the fedi, I wholeheartedly agree.

If he’s spending so much time playing it in person AND online then I do agree the time he’s playing vs. spending time with you is alarmingly disproportionate, especially if he is spending some of his leisure at home but opts to play D&D online with friends rather than sparing it to have some quality time with you.

I think a deep discussion with him is in order. But no, you are not in the wrong for wanting him to dedicate some time out of his schedule to you.

In general, I think it’s more unnecessary bloating of social media apps. Sometimes it feels like we’re headed for a social media equivalent of the 1983 US video game market crash.

Threads would/could be the ‘E.T. for the Atari 2600’ in this scenario.

Mama Said by Metallica. I know the Load/Reload period of the band is dismissed or seen as a joke, but there are some good tracks on those albums. Mama Said is a country rock ballad that would’ve been unfathomable in pre-black album era Metallica.

I got sucked into binging the V/H/S series a while ago and enjoyed all except Viral, which I turned off midway through as it was boring me to misery. 94 and the more recent 99 were the standouts for me.

A ‘democratic organism’ where puppet mods are installed because the ‘democratically’ supported ones won’t toll the company line. Uh-huh. Sure, Steve.

Take me back in time to the 2000s when the most scandalous spyware was a purple gorilla virtual assistant telling awful jokes with a TTS voice.
