It’s definitely not just you.

Burning jeans are very gratifying to see

That would depend entirely on people actually posting to the right community and actually following rules. 100% of the time. Won’t happen!

This will go away on its own, and will be replaced by something else just as silly (like beans did, and a dozen other things I can’t even remember, because nobody posts them anymore).

My first guess is that it would have been overpriced and deliberately incompatible with existing chargers. No loss.

What kind of fediverse search are you talking about? Provide a link. That would do much, much more than any explanations or testimonials possibly could.

Because people are dumb. If the machine knows when someone is looking at it, it can stop doing whatever it does to try and get your attention, and put itself in “sales mode”.

Still, you’re right. It seems like an overly complicated and expensive solution. Old-fashioned vending machines did the job just fine.

I give everything leeway when it comes to memes… including things like “pov”

This is the ideal meme format. Pedro’s smile is perfect.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

Ooh, I didn’t know that happened. Nice!

I wouldn’t have cared, but I ended up rooting for the Chiefs because it would piss off people I don’t like. Heh heh heh.

I started watching near the end of the 4th quarter, and it turned out to be a surprisingly good ending. It was anyone’s game, right up to the end, and only the second superbowl in history to go into overtime.

I generally don’t like football, so I watched it Live from Bikini Bottom on Nickelodeon.

Still funny

This is only a temporary “problem”. Eventually, ads will be incorporated into the story, and/or advertising companies will include clauses in their contracts. I imagine those clauses will DEMAND that websites include advertising in AI readers or not get paid for any ads they run.

Think enshittification. AI readers are only ad-free now in order to make them seem like an attractive option, and get people hooked on using them. I bet the numbers have already been calculated and decided on. Once AI readers are used by enough people, the ads will start.

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?

Jesus. I always hated those ads, but even the industry’s own “self-regulatory” system thought 10G was bullshit.

This is like when a caveman realized his cave wife had another hole

I bet this is good with maple syrup

Currently, these separate comments appear next to each other for me, and I absolutely love it

“Fuck me or I’ll tell everyone that you’re a bigot!”

What is this a reference to?

Too bad, so sad
