You could say it’s pure myth

Is America projecting again? 好没想到的啊！

Pure Opera!

Less porn. Most of it seems to be from Reddit copy bots. So I guess that’s the real effect we are going to notice.

We don’t need more people, we need more good content!

On Reddit? Apparently posts about it get nuked by mods. So of course people reposted even more.

I have this feeling it’s more like a mentalist mind-trick.

We are fed so many inputs from so many sources, we don’t notice the influence, but we end up thinking about such and such, maybe talking about it with other people and suddenly, lo and behold! the algorithm presents us with an ad for the very subject that was on our mind! Mind reading! Magic!

But just like a Derren Brown subject, we just picked the card he wanted us to pick from the beginning.

I reckon the only thing preventing us from being completely subjugated is the amount of actors trying to influence us simultaneously, as we flock through our attention grabbing sources.

Which is why the consolidation of media is such a worrisome phenomenon. One dude controlling an entire network of sources means you are constantly under the same influence.

And then you get MAGA.

I wonder what’s next?

Seriously, I was new to frontend and using jQueryUI back then and it took me like a few seconds to lookup the term and parameter so my autocompletes wouldn’t DoS my backend. I’m amazed to see shit like this in prod.

I’ll put Seirei no Moribito above them all, mostly because nobody ever seems to even know about it and it breaks my heart. The novel was good, and the anime ended up ten times better, somehow!

Planetes is a goddamn masterpiece!

Why does it sound like you’re writing plugins for Keycloak?

Nice read, thanks! Reminds me a bit of “when sysadmins roamed the Earth” (IIRC).

PTSD flashbacks to the codebase I started on in 2008 which had… I don’t even remember. Like six or seven levels. Fucking nightmare. I did a printout of the analysis Doxygen gave me and it ended up as a 4x3 meters poster ;_;

Looks like authentic euro Chinese food, yeah.

Or exposure.

This has a Freddy vs Jason kinda vibe. Asshole fighting assholes, sorta thing. Love it.

That’s not funny, that’s fucking amazing.

I’m more shocked by the shite installed on that poor phone than on the look of the icons. They look deliciously fluffy :) Make them squishy / reactive to pressure and you got a deal!
