There's a special place in hell for the inventor of semantically significant whitespace.

YAML itself is one of the circles of hell. You have to copy-paste YAML from web etc sources with dubious formatting for all eternity, and the editor doesn't have YAML support. Also you can only use Python

Skipped straight to the "you're a rapist for making this joke", huh?

Maybe you can just like block me and move on with your life? It's not like I'm going to remove this meme just because you think it's making fun of trauma, and you're not going to get me to repent my evil ways either. Or do you want to lecture me some more, maybe call me a rapist again?

It's a little bit funny. Sorry about your caveman sex education trauma, though

The same thing is happening to every commodity and service – "enshittification" isn't just an internet thing.

It all boils down to psychopathic greedy executives and boards squeezing every last cent from consumers (and workers) to make themselves richer. Prices and therefore corporate profits keep going up, pay keeps going down (because it's not inflation-adjusted) and the quality of everything is going down the shitter, just to benefit the 1%

Russia's violence (domestic or otherwise) statistics are going to look pretty wild in the future; this isn't an isolated case and the situation definitely isn't going to improve any time soon.

I'd say I feel bad for them but I honestly can't quite muster up the empathy, although that probably says more about me than anything else. I'm Finnish and I'm the first generation in my family who hasn't either had to live under Russian rule, or fight the Soviets, or be hounded by postwar Soviet-controlled state security because someone in the family dared to stand up to them, so there's not a lot of love lost here.

Finnish breakfast:

Coffee, vodka and a cigarette.

Protect your hearing, kids!

Seriously, PROTECT YOUR FUCKING HEARING. I was young and stupid (now I'm no longer young) and went to way too many raves, gigs etc. without any sort of hearing protection, and now I have a nice constant background track of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and can't hear higher frequencies worth shit

So it's not actually a smartphone vulnerability as much as it is an SMS (or any other similar system with delivery receipts) vulnerability? Your old brick of a Nokia phone would have this same problem

It's a bullshit answer to placate people. "We don't want this to turn into DRM for the web" when it's literally doing exactly that, regardless of what they claim they're doing

Oh yeah, packet sniffing exit nodes in a privacy oriented network will surely go down well and will have no unforeseen consequences

No no, you don't understand: the rules only apply to plebs like you and me. Corporations and their rich executives are free to do anything they want

Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter's a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.
