I scored 16/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Damn, and here I thought I had this locked down because I was salty that so many places struggle with + in the email addy. But my god, there’s comments?

Obligatory a tweet of an image with the statement "this isn't a good argument against inflation, but it's a good line", and the primary image of a boy saying "Inflation is bad," a woman responding "Inflation is bad or you ordered a private taxi for your burrito?", and the boy somewhat abashed responding "private taxi for my burrito"

alias cls=clear

My first language was QB, so it makes me chuckle.

Also, alias cim=vim. If I had a penny…

In case you didn’t see the trick further down the thread - you have to make sure to install the windows version of the game that runs with proton. Then you can connect to online matches. Installing the linux version is a trap; frankly, they should just delist it at this point.

After having watched it (it was good, watched it with the buddy who had the idea and without telling him why we were watching it, he had a laugh the first time it happened), if you found it a real struggle, definitely don’t read this article about a real company that made a brain implant for epileptics and went under of which the episode heavily reminded me.

Lol, I want to believe it was someone who wanted to slow the spread of this concept in the world, lashing out against it the only way they could.

That said I’ve def bookmarked that episode for watching. I lost track of Black MIrror, it’s a bit tough in that it’s so grim that each episode doesn’t really leave you wanting to watch the next one in my experience. But it’s had some bangers.

Oh wild, good call

Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends

I’ll bite: I powered on my computer. My bios started which started my init process, which started my daemons, which started my login manager (maybe slim), which started my DE (maybe gnome), which I use to go to my browser in order to watch other people stream video games.

I’m dicey on what the browser is being used for - maybe security software? - but I feel like it’s plausible.
