Well, you did sign the EULA that said any image uploaded to Instagram would become legally property of Meta.

Because you did read it... right?

patterfloof,

@AlgorithmWolf damn, the EULA is usually expected to be "we'll optimise your image & process it into several sizes for different screen sizes etc" not whatever theft & remixing this is

Everyone should have to do a retail job, just to see what it's like to work with the general public.

The new youtube home page for me is very minimalist, but a little useless, I feel.

patterfloof,

@chloeraccoon now that's what youtube should have done with adblocker blocking, not blue-ball you with a list of unavailable videos

Just got another spam email with the subject “Ensure ChatGPT Success.”

When will someone finally write me about committing to AI demise? “Join Our Legions to DESTROY Midjourney.”

I could get behind that shit.

how the fuck are you supposed to buy an office chair. like. imagine you see an office chair for sale. its on the internet, of course. you cant buy things in person anymore for some reason. and it looks like every other normal office chair that's ever been manufactured. you can buy that chair. but imagine you want to buy a different chair, a fancy chair, in a different shape, with different, better features. how on earth can you tell if it's comfortable? where can i go sit on 9 different chairs??

patterfloof,

@jk we've got WFH & the office has a single approved chair that they'll pay for on expenses, which luckily was a good one

otherwise IDK, Ikea normally has loads pre-made

patterfloof,

@jk when they ask if you have any questions "do you mind if I photo every label on this chair?"

you know speaking of vim, and neovim especially, I really really like its goal of essentially being an IDE toolkit. like its a purpose built suite for code editing (though not exclusively), which is why they have things like cindent just builtin because why would a suite built for text editing programs not have at least reasonable heuristics for C-like languages

patterfloof,

@Qyriad indent or no, being able to reliably expect syntax highlighting on any file is a game changer

The problem with leaving Twitter is that some companies still put all their updates there so you don't know what's new. I didn't know there was substantial new content for Vampire Survivors until... well, NOW, basically. XD

patterfloof,

@Bowsette add in other sites & I'm having to pick between reddit & fandom for how to play a game

rapidly discovering that plushies are not meant to sit on shelves but rather are meant to sit front and center in front of the keyboard in lieu of a cat

patterfloof,

@starwall I used to take one to work. describing your problem to a stuffed animal helps so much when programming

... now realising I could put them on camera for boring meetings, let a fox take the call

@TechConnectify I didn’t realize these were local to me. Feels like finding a real life technology connections easter egg!#

Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).

There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox

Do it. Now.

– But I prefer Chrome because of…

If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.

Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.

(with adblockers)

patterfloof,

@ploum nice browser
