1. their name is wilson wilson which is absolutely beautiful in my opinion

2. they are filing the complaint just against one transphobic woman who did a harrassment campaign against them… not libs of tiktok which was disappointing to see but im not sure how this all works

rtfm and other toxicity in the gnu/linux community are a microsoft psyop change my mind

Michael Crichton and Michael Crowley

what kinda cartoony ass names. literally mario and wario, sauron and saruman

really fair, it’s certainly an uncommon skill but it’s definitely a skill we should be able to expect of our literal leaders

This is exactly why I try to engage with the apparent trolls sometimes. 95% of the time your reading is right and you disengage shortly after but one in twenty times there’s just a confused person on the other end that needs a little helping hand 🥹❤️

genuinely playing tetris afterwards has been found to help with recovery from traumatic experiences

this PDF will probably be referenced in the “genocide denial” article in the not-too-distant future

this is an unpopular opinion but i know the aesthetic reason for apple not implementing this for so long, and like eveything, it’s to make money.

android design is pretty good, but user created android phones home screens can often look pretty hateful, often with 4-6 screens of more empty space than icons, tons of widgets with an inconsistent design scheme, random half empty folders and a notification bar overcrowded with overshrunk icons. android phones often look like old Windows XP desktops—even on flagship distributions.

in contrast to google, apple cares what your phone looks like because they have a highly visual brand.

apple, by not allowing placement anywhere intentionally enforced a consistent top-left to bottom-right aesthetic which is now ubiquitous to the brand. among other design decisions, the result is that when you blur your eyes and look at a phone home screen you can tell whether it is apple or not.

• but the functionality is worse, yes i know.
• but it actually does look worse too, to you maybe, but not to apple. my belief is they did this for the same reason they put the magic mouse’s lighting port on the bottom (to keep users from always using it plugged in. which looks “ugly”).

the power of a strong and unmistakable brand is incomparable. in many cases, the value of a brand can even outperform raw product utility when it comes to customer satisfaction, a theory which i believe apple has been leveraging in this case very much intentionally despite the seeming paradox of utility.

edit: already getting downvoted to heck i should have known better than to be aware of basic marketing principles lol. i promise you im not defending apple im just explaining why they did this to make more money.

while it is not quite unanimous, the majority of experts agree that the ongoing violence fits the definition of genocide

more importantly, in what fucking world does calling one thing a genocide devalue other genocides? that is such a disgusting take i see everywhere and it’s nauseating.

ooh hot take. reasearchers should stop doing security testing for OpenAI for free. aren’t they just publishing these papers, with full details on how it might be fixed, with no compensation for that labor?

bogus. this should work more like pen testing or finding zero day exploits. make these capitalist “oPeN” losers pay to secure the shit they create.

(pls tell me why im wrong if i am instead of downvoting, just spitballing here)

internet users will see high density housing that allows for more community and green space than their suburban homes and call it ugly
