Dunno, but I miss rage comics.

Glamming up cheap ramen is a joy.

I like to add butter, a slug of soy sauce and chilli sauce, spring onion and sliced chillies.

It's not gonna win me any awards, but it's bloody tasty.

To be fair, the referee is officiating a professional sport where you really need to be able to clearly distinguish between the legs of two people lunging quickly for the same ball with their feet.

Probably sounds silly, but when that's what 95% of the sport revolves around, you can understand them being picky on a detail like this.

It's been like 10 years since I watched Madoka. I remember very little about it. But you know what I didn't forget?

Morning Rescue.

Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.

That's John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.

I only use it because there's no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.

There's no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn't communicate with the people I need to through it.

Two days ago I noticed when watching through the app on my phone that I could no longer just skip ads, and the trick of reporting them to skip didn't work anymore either. I effectively had to just sit and wait.

That same day I got NewPipe, imported my subscriptions, and honestly even if this is just a phased trial or something, I won't be going back to the standard YT app.

Creators make pennies from ad revenue. If I want to support them, I'll make a donation or subscribe to their Patreon or something.

I won't just sit and suffer a slew of ads while my data is harvested under the false pretense that it's all to support the creators.

Absolutely love how it's turned out. Looking forward to using it in our next session!

I'm sorry but this is some dystopian bullshit that's all centred on the false premise that communities are anything other than the people who choose to count themselves among them and engage in them.

Reddit is just the tool some communities chose to use to gather their members and communicate. That's it. If a community decides that Reddit is no longer the appropriate tool for the job, they can leave and build their community elsewhere. That may be a bit of an oversimplification, given the resources and tools those communities might lose through the transition, but strictly speaking, Reddit can't do anything to stop the members of any particular subreddit going elsewhere, and a cryptocurrency absolutely is not going to fucking facilitate the ownership or mobility of a community.

It's a bullshit form of control that they want their users to willingly bind themselves to. Suddenly you're not just participating in a community, but you're genuinely invested, tied to something with a perceived monetary value, that even if you can theoretically remove from Reddit and take elsewhere, won't have any more value than people choose to place on it, and won't represent the community that generated it in any meaningful way.

It's literally "Hey, the more you use Reddit, the more of our crypto you'll earn, which could be worth more than zero one day! You better keep using Reddit, huh? You wouldn't want to lose that potential for more than zero eh? In fact, why don't you encourage more people to use Reddit too? Then they'll generate their own crypto, and the more people use our crypto, the more it'll be worth for everyone! See, if you get five more people to use Reddit, and those five people also get another five people each to use it etc etc etc..."

The fuck out of here.

Imagine being outraged and miserable for a living.

I've not even seen the movie, but Jesus fucking Christ.

You know I was once convinced Hatsune Miku was the primitive start of a huge shift in the entertainment industry.

No one believed me when I said AI would one day be seriously considered against flesh and blood entertainers.

Well whose laughing now, huh?!
