  • Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) – Cory Doctorow

    Jump

  • I'll use it for now while it's good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won't repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won't be difficult this time.

  • But count is in the name

  • I think they're implying that it can be rude to broadcast someone's age, since some people like to be private about it.

  • Tucker Carlson claims he was mauled by a demon while asleep, leaving claw marks

  • Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers

  • Newspapers report facts in one section and editorial opinions in a different section. They are clearly compartmentalized from each other. They are both useful. The editorial staff has a long history of making presidential endorsements. We're free to disagree with the endorsement, they are not telling us what to think, just giving us a perspective to consider among all the others we hear.

    What the Post did is highly abnormal. It's not like the editorial staff decided out of nowhere to write up this endorsement. They did because it's an automatic thing they're expected to do before elections.

    Think about watching a sports broadcast. There's typically two guys, one reporting play by play (facts) and the other adding color/analysis.

  • I'm not going to start being an asshole out of nowhere but I will go after an asshole and tear them apart. I will never be mean or rude to someone who seems nice. And of course I won't make fun of someone's looks or weight or gender or race. But I do make a lot of jokes on other topics and people probably perceive me as rude sometimes when I don't intend it. I don't think it's wrong to be a looser version of yourself here than in real life. Within reason.

  • Oh word?

  • Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC and others pull onions after McDonald's E. coli outbreak

  • What's even the best case scenario of eating McDonald's food?

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds

    Jump

  • Nothing is strictly necessary, you can tell instead of show any aspect of a relationship. But if drama is going to show a representative cross section of what human relationships are like, sex will be a part of that like romance and friendship aspects are.

  • They're more biologically necessary. They are less important to storytelling.

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds

    Jump

  • Drama is largely about character relationships and sex is a part of that. There's rarely any drama to our necessary biological functions. Pooping can be part of a story's plot like sex, just much less often.

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds

    Jump

  • The sex scenes that most mainstream dramas have traditionally had are brief and not explicit.

  • Sex is an important part of one's life, bowel movements aren't. (Hopefully)

  • Writing a story and having to make my characters not want to have sex because of the existence of an unrelated industry outside the context of their universe.

    Striking out any gambling references in my stories because of the rise of online gambling.

    Then I realize I've stupidly written scenes where my characters eat, having forgotten like a stupid hack how many restaurants there are in the real world.

  • Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'?

    Jump

  • Election Day is traditionally the day to vote, campaigns are still running before that point. Anyone who votes earlier does so with less information than later voters. Trump could say something stupid between now and Election Day, and wouldn't you feel bad if you'd already voted for him and couldn't take it back?

    Jump

  • Same reason morning is earlier in the day than night. This is just how linear time works.

  • Why doesn't autistic identity follow the same format as LGBT identity?

    Jump

  • We need to communicate our sexual identity clearly at a high level because we all need to work out with each other who can date or fuck who.

    We don't have as much practical reason to know each other's specific experience with autism right away. And if you are close to someone and need to understand their autism at a lower level, their personal situation is more complicated than being one of five or six types.

    And if you do need to understand someone's sexuality at a low level, it could also be more complicated and individualized than just being one letter. But knowing that one letter with sexuality helps as a start.

  • Fuck you, I'm not wading through your fuckass prompts when I could toggle one simple switch.

  • What's your typical "stand-by" mode for your computer when you're not using it?

    Jump

  • My computer is a plex server, a homeassistant server, it runs cron jobs, there's a web server with some automation and browsing utilities I use throughout the day. It's on 24/7, doesn't sleep.
