adding some tidbits/what I think! - it's worth emphasizing the level of consolidation is manifested, not just in the handful of apps, but also how much of it is the deep web, not indexed by search engines at all, most not even accessible by URLs. Chinese internet rarely speaks of “links” anymore

as much as that systemd developer hit hit piece was psychotic (and i would really love to unlearn everything about “lunduke”) i’m not vibing with people downplaying the whole thing as Just a text field that one can Just fake or ignore (i mean it is, but also more than that)

Gianmarco Soresi's page on Threads has no profile image and the response code was HTTP 410 Gone and it's just How the hell did this happen

For a Brief Moment I Could Not Tell Which One Isn’t The Onion

FUN FACT! The parallel universe in which Heated Rivalry takes place added the 🫠 U+1FAE0 melting face emoji to the Unicode Standard 8 years earlier than our universe did 😌

I don't know why GitHub decided to add a "🩶 Give feedback" button to the bottom of the issue page sidebar, or how it happened, but 1. Give feedback about *what*?? The only hint is that "Issues" is capitalized in the modal title, which is only apparent after I clicked on it 2. ...

Which links to this article, which is fascinating in its own right as an explainer of a lot of things, but principally as a baseline for why “sense of disgust” and quality of life concerns bite so hard — nextcity.org/urbanist-new...

They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean. No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.

the chinese internet is waking up and is about to have a field day with this

me: rust compile time isn’t actually THAT bad? (granted i have a moderately beefy device) me, still waiting for aws-sdk-ec2 to finish cross compiling, after having introduced one (1) new method from it: oh.

ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew "nimble young chinese women in the supply chain" gives me the same ick and rage as that "南方小土豆" meme from years ago quite literally fuck off

I STAND CORRECTED github.com/pocket apparently this has been here for a while now and im just ignorant

alternative rationalization: pocket made sense when the internet actually had content worth “read it later” pocket saw the AI slop infested future of a decaying internet and noped the fuck out

could’ve open sourced it smh my head 😤

i don’t think i will ever get over how stupid and incomprehensible it is for the US to destroy its own federal institutions and the process was not halted within a week sure maybe the american people doesn’t actually need a national government to function in which case good for you i guess
