@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

Great explainer about the changes, and reasons why it actually behooves Google to continue to allow ad blockers in some form. All that said...this still reaffirms my decision to go Firefox, always and forever, to get the most complete privacy options.

"Weaponized Pedantry" should be this Supreme Court's motto. They should get it embroidered on the backs of their robes in Latin.

i feel fortunate to have both of my parents still with me. Not sure how far out you are from that loss, but my understanding is that it's a grief that never leaves you. My best friend lost their dad 5 years ago, and they STILL have enough feelings about it to fill an entire poetry book (after previously filling a separate poetry book in the 2 years immediately after).

you're still allowed to be sad about it and have a hard week about it, no matter how long ago it happened <3

I hate how the Atlantic will publish well-thought pieces like this, and then turn around and publish op-eds like this that are practically drooling with lust for AI.

theangriestbird OP , to Politics in Alito Caught on Tape Whining That His Corruption Was Exposed | The New Republic
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

That's a good hot take. Here's another one: maybe the entire Supreme Court should be changed every year or two, with the bench randomly selected from the entire panel of federal judges that meet a certain minimum experience requirement. Hypothetically that should do something for these outrageous bribes and corruption.

theangriestbird , to Technology in This Is How the 3D Pipes Windows Screensaver Was Created
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

Why does the title focus on 3D pipes specifically?

The developer kicked off a screen saver contest among the Windows OpenGL team, with 3D Pipes being one of the entries alongside 3D Maze, 3D Text, and 3D Flying Objects. The team was supposed to vote for a single winner to be included with Windows NT 3.5, but when a person on Microsoft’s marketing team saw them, he said, “You can call off the vote. We’re adding all of them to the product!”

I feel like I hear about 3D Maze way more when people are reminiscing about old screensavers. Just sorta weird titling

theangriestbird , to World News in Israel vows to press on in Gaza after UN Security Council approves ceasefire proposal
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

how much more evidence do we need that Israel are the bad guys? Every reasonable nation in the world is pressing for a ceasefire because of the obscene casualties, and Israel said "nah we came to finish this genocide don't be too mad okay?"
