Pull out, don’t pull out, we’re fucked either way.

“no sloppy Windows, guys— I mean it.”
“LET’S SLOP IT UP!”

I think it was a Reddit scraper years ago that taught me that I should probably lie more often on the internet about my work, friends, family details, etc.

Just like, little lies that don’t really matter in the comment, but would misdirect an AI or investigator into things that aren’t true.

It’s just so much woooooork to think about this shit. And to come up with different screen names everywhere? And to like, sub to a city I don’t live in and comment there about shit I know nothing about? Exhausting.

Thankfully my brothers and three uncles are here to support me. And my alligator.

It is!? Noooooooo! TIL

sadly I’ll likely support them through any shitty decisions they make as they are the only viable non-chromium alternative these days.

I get they’re chasing the buck and trying to stay relevant, but uhhhh… if they could be less Steve Buscemi-teen about it, that’d be great.

My ~19 year old account was permabanned after three strikes that involved two upvotes of Luigi pictures and then— after seeing a vid of Trump falling asleep— saying he shouldn’t wake up.

Then my alt got a warning for “disparaging communities” after I said one of the two PDX subreddits started so they could talk shit about houseless people, which is a fact.

Three of those were flagged by AI, the last one— the warning— was a person flagging it and couldn’t be contested.

It’s gone to the dogs.

“Hey Copilot, what have Putin and Trump been exchanging emails about?”

Don’t be fooled: if RAM had the chance it would kill everyone and everything you’ve ever loved.

“Oh the inhumanity!”

I’m in PDX and setting a webcam as my TV launcher’s background has been the coziest, bestest thing ever. Way better than the default page o’ ads.

They’re gonna take away my Projectivy, aren’t they? 😔

Iirc Ring cameras opt you into sharing your feed with the cops. Lotta reasons not to use ‘em.

So backing this fascist regime isn’t helping their business?

Didn’t this happen with an iPhone a few years back? FBI couldn’t get into a suspect’s phone, Apple stood firm publicly, but then somehow the FBI got in anyway? Maybe I’m misremembering.

Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

THATS THE WORD I DIDNT WANT. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1!!

Oh thank god that last word was “winking.”

You’re right, I should set my expectations now.

Cool, another app I won’t download and will look sideways at whoever does.

If I see its userbase consists of gen z and younger I will be very disappointed.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.
