  • I fucking love science

  • This whole document is so beautifully unhinged. I don't know the actual story, but I like to imagine the ad consultants coming up with it on a three day coke fuelled bender, then coming down and just deciding to run with it anyway.

  • Have you changed you youtube pfp to clippy ?

  • The existance of TERF Island implies the existance of TERF Peninsula and TERF Bay.

  • There's a strait/straight joke in there somewhere but I'm not smart enough to make it.

  • How much do corporations determine what you eat on a daily basis?

    Jump

  • If you use any diet tracking app, they'll have that data. Any supermarket loyalty program can infer a good amount. Some can be inferred from location data (eg amount of time spent at a restaurant). Menulog, ubereats etc will track it as a matter of course. that's just off the top of my head.

    EDIT: I misread the question.

    If you go up a level from the obvious interaction of marketing on food choices, there's still a hell of a lot of corporate influence on the food environment. Your job, your rent and utilities determine your food budget, which limits your choices. Your job and commute also determines the amount of free time you have to cook. Your commute is controlled in part by car and fossil fuel industry. If you don't drive, you're limited to what you can reach and carry via public transport or bicycle infrastructure (both also gutted by car lobby). Supermarket corps determine where the stores are, what they stock, and how much it is. So you'll find your choices limited by travel time, availabilit, and budget again. You can go up another level again and manufacturers and producers will have influence over (for example) the FDA, which determines safety standards of what you eat. So even if you consider yourself unpropagandised, corporations still control pretty much the entire food system and what you eat. Unless you're living off-grid and growing everything yourself, pretty much every food decision you make is touched by a corporation. Even then, you'll have to buy your seeds from somewhere.

  • WOW that's a throwback

  • Still on OG DooM community stuff when I get the chance. Which is rarely at the moment.

  • what's your ringtone?

    Jump

  • Silent these days. For a while I used the "black headcrab nearby" sound from HL2 as a text tone tho. Was fun watching people's reactions to it.

  • What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

    Jump

  • Unreal Tournament

    Terminal Velocity

  • Linux Begins Preparing For The Lenovo Legion Go 2 Handheld

  • I'm glad they kept the detachable controllers. Makes it much nicer to get actual work done on it without looking like a freak. I just hope they release an official keyboard dock for this one.

  • Google Pixel devices appear to be preparing icon theming using AI and custom styles

    Jump

  • Pixels are pretty easy to get custom ROMs on. I'm sure you can find something that doesn't include this.

  • Labulabu labubu

    Jump

  • What the fuck is a labubu and why are they suddenly a thing.

  • We all know grammar Nazis. What incorrect grammar are you completely in defence of?

    Jump

  • A lot, to be honest. Spend enough time around non-native English speakers and you realise how little sense English makes. Their 'mistakes' have their own internal consistency and in a lot of cases make more sense than English does.

  • Oop, my bad. They haven't IPO'd yet, but they are apparently planning to. They have switched CEOs to some asshole from Activision.

  • you must be prompting it wrong

  • They also use AI on the backend to identity users' gender (linky) I have no idea if it works or not, but given the situation in the States and UK right now, that shit could get real ugly, real fast.

  • I think they IPO'd recently. The march of enshittification continues.

  • What is the oldest electronic you own?

  • A ferrite core memory module, circa 1956 at a guess.
