Sorry about your tiny wiener, man. woah this is such a weird comment without the context of the now removed parent. I swear it was like a really good zinger.

I’m not sure I’d agree that FS comes off as perfectly reasonable because I do get a pretty strong beg me to stay or I’ll leave vibe… but I am amused that OP here read that thread and decided that FS was the aggressor here.

Jesus it’s uncanny.

He’s being handed the keys to a government position allowing him to make decisions that will impact American lives, potentially with impacts to others as well; for the first time ever caring about what he thinks is actually wise.

I was also born in ‘84; the 90’s were pretty rad though for a kid so the doom and gloom didn’t really start until around 9/11 for me.

I mean, ATP has only been around for two years, mastodon has been around for 8 years with 6 years of development on AP.

Development takes time, I feel like “show it to me now or it’s a lie” is a poor take.

Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.

Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?

The Manhattan Project? Really? We’re just openly comparing Trump initiatives to wartime efforts to create weapons of cataclysmic power? An initiative that changed global politics by further pushing it into fear?

Putting all that aside, a project that would have cost $27 BILLION dollars today? That’s “government efficiency”?

It’s so stupid I can’t even find it funny.

No kidding, I had a brief moment where I hated him slightly less but then I remembered all the tangible harm he has done and it went away.

“F*** unity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another expletive-laden post, referring to Democrats.

Is someone going to tell him?

I love this. Full stop.

We need more clean, minimal design like this across the web.

Yeah I’ve been a Kagi subscriber since they opened up. My normal usage is perplexity when I want details about a topic summarized and Kagi when I am looking for a website.

Kagi also has some ethical concerns; like a shitty attitude towards compromises to support human safety (refusing to add suicide prevention links comes to mind) but the perplexity guy just took it to another level.

I assume that they’re still benefiting from your use via analytics and training data.

Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.

The vitriol over this topic is humorous. We charge our phones and watches daily, nobody is losing their minds over that. However, asking for the mouse to be plugged in one night a month is outlandish and absurd.

The best part is that this minor issue overshadows the real issue: the ergonomics are terrible. I have large hands and simply can not hold onto the thing properly. Narrow and flat is poor design for something you need to get a grip on to slide around.

I’m pretty sure that we’re friends now by law.

Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.

Are you me? I’m also a lazy tech schlub now who was formerly a paint store warehouse worker, home renovation worker, etc.

Fully agree that everyone going into tech should spend real time working hard labor and retail. I genuinely feel that my non-tech experiences made me a better person and a better tech schlub.

I remember tech coworkers complaining that the wall filled with free snacks and candy didn’t have the right kind of snacks and candy, and having to hold myself back from going full Everett True.
