Reply to i feel kind of sad by victoria

I'm so glad to hear things are starting to go better for you. I knew you could do it, and you did.

This, to me, is amazing to hear, truly

Reply to comment by neku in i think we should have daily threads reassuring ourselves that we aren't weirdos for hanging out on here instead of that other bigger website, and also frequently share and froth at the rage bait from the other bigger website that we're glad we aren't using by emma

I love searching the internet for hours looking at things that piss me off and then showing them to my friends who I know will be pissed off at them too.

Reply to instagram stories which are screenshots of twitter posts? reddit front page? no, i get all my news from one trusted source: richard stallman's political notes. by twovests

The worst things about stallman stem from the best thing about stallman.

He is extremely principled. But that doesn't mean what it does to most people. He has an idea, and he follows it to its conclusion. When it comes to software I'm glad someone is there to never compromise on anything, and stick to his guns to an incredibly annoying decree. This is the same reason I have a soft spot for Norman Finkelstein. Not afraid to be so, fucking irritating when he knows he's right and everyone else is falling short. I respect it and I hope that for all my faults, I have the same strength they do for my own convictions.

But he also follows that philosophy of never being gold he's wrong in the workplace harassment realm. Which I do not like.

I don't think it balances out at all. I think he should have his theoretical justifications for saying he thinks necrophilia is OK but he should just keep those things under his hat. However for the same reasons, he is not ever going to.

Reply to if the official jstpst,net app isn't available on the Vision Pro at launch tomorrow, i'm going to go ape shit and break my $3,499 toy by emma

I don't think apple are shortsighted enough to make such an obvious unforced error as that. Launching a new product in this environment without jstpst.net integration?

I hear Microsoft has added a new jstpst.net key to the keyboard, really leaning in to it. I know apple doesn't like to be seen as playing catch up, but in this current tech climate? Just don't see it.

Reply to comment by twovests in you don't need to pretend to like taylor swift. she is basically like " the beetles " by twovests

No no didn't think so at all sorry. I just was commenting on how as soon as something becomes big enough that most people know about it, it gets sucked in to the culture war and it's exhausting. Right now conservatives think she's a psy op by the woke CIA to get biden reelected or something and I'm just like... God damn. Can we not?

I think the last song by her that I heard was that shake it off song from about 2013 which I enjoyed but I don't really follow her.
