Oh. Duckspeak. Ungood bellyfeel.

Smarty user here. Seems like there’s a lot of us. UK, £14/mo for unlimited everything with no throttling (I’ve tried). Includes EU/EEA roaming capped at 12GB.

Entire confection 👅

You beat me to it. There’s something particularly effective about someone who basically never swears dropping a single “fuck” into a sentence and I get the same feeling here.

Good for you on overcoming Rand’s bullshit worldview. And, yeah, Threads is still terrifying all these years later. That, and When The Wind Blows.

By the time I’m fifty I expect I’ll wake up with sun beaming through the window and I’ll smile, stretch, lean over to the bedside table and just go full-on Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

I can’t be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?

Cookie popups are terms and conditions. They could easily make a page without any tracking cookies, only the ones nessecary for the service to functions, and they wouldn’t need the popup.

Why would you think that?

SLAM “If I do upgrade to Business, will I be able to recline my seat without interrupting the person behind’s meal?” SLAM “And is The Grand Budapest Hotel still available onboard or do I need to download it first, goddamnit?”

Oh, yeah, my Home Assistant setup is fucking monstrous but also, crucially, self-hosted. Why the fuck do I want my thermostat and radiators to be talking via a datacentre in another country?

I only buy my plane tickets at the airport on the day of travel with handfuls of cash pulled from a carrier bag while wearing a blood-stained shirt. I punctuate that start of every sentence by slamming my first on the desk and the end of the sentence with “goddamnit”.

Personally I prefer the full range of motion offered by analogue.

“We’re sorry we’re facing consequences. We’ll take action to make sure this doesn’t happen agian.”

“Here’s your WiFi. Oh, you want the password? Next you’ll be asking for DHCP.”

Fuck it, I’ll take all the “riz”, “no cap”, “frfr” bullshit over ANY of the other slang of the last thirty years or so. At least it makes sense.

Meanwhile, their Grandmas in the 2010s: Kids these days are too woke, they never play outside. I hate that Greasy Thunberg or whatever she calls herself, so preachy. No-one walks anywhere any more it’s so sad. This Facebook user I love posts AI pictures of kittens and says immigrants are eating our pets and universities are run by Muslim terrorists. I saw some kids outside the other day and was terrified so we’re getting the city to close the park and get rid of the bus shelters. All music sounds the same these days like it’s made in a factory, not like the real music we had - kids these days don’t even know what Motown is.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can’t understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).

Yeah, my response to this argument is always the same: I work in IT, how do I barter for potatoes? If you’re a potato farmer, how many potatoes is a hip transplant worth? Maybe assigning worth to things with an abstract unit isn’t such a terrible idea after all…

For clarity, are you imagining imaginary unicorns or just regular non-imaginary unicorns?
