Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

Now that yuzu is gone they’re going to be rolling in theoretical money.

It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.

The game isn’t on switch so I bet a lot of the people saying it’s a ripoff haven’t even played it.

Not just the comments. It used to be page 4 or 5 where the hate/rage content would start appearing in the top posts. But it’s been creeping up, and now even page 1 looks pretty bad sometimes. I bet even Americans are starting to feel alienated if they’re not perpetually angry.

The thumbnail looks like somebody dropped a cigarette on an old carpet.

I like propaganda like this.

A lot of cool art has been made as propaganda. Let them cook.

lol I’ve done it again. This was supposed to be a pissed off argument the whole time and I didn’t know. I thought you were actually curious about how it works in other countries so I’ll stop now.

No I had a phase of that but these days I think my curriculum fucking sucked.

Then instead think about it like a stop sign at a T intersection. If you’re turning left, you have to yield for both lanes. But if you’re turning right, you only yield for one.

If you turn left you’re crossing the path of everyone with a green light. But if you turn right it’s like merging.

Corporations are known to only care about money, but these days a lot of them are fine with losing money just to prove a stupid point of some kind.

Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.

The first three let you know what you’re buying but the last one is just straight up Adolf Hitler in a package.

Jacket = corporations

Uniform = the government

small powerless creature = poor people

The climate change debate

I don’t understand the metaphor…

WizTree is like WinDirStat but a lot faster.

That program is essential windows software since the stock windows search utility is basically fake. There’s no way to actually search without it.

Also I found a new good use for it recently. You can sort the entire file list by date and it updates live. So suppose you’re using a program and it saves a file without telling you where. Since it’s Windows and the file system is obfuscated to shit, there’s no way to know where it is. But it will be near the top of the Search Everything file list.
