That shouldn’t be surprising, given his history.

Shadowrun (the arena shooter) probably would’ve been better received if it were named basically anything else.

“It is not the severity of punishment that deters crime, but the certainty of punishment.”

They’re far from perfect, I’d be the first person to tell you.

But they’re still light-years ahead of anyone else, because they’re perfectly happy just making tons of money instead of trying to squeeze every last cent out of the storefront at our expense.

Thing is, all the other major manufacturers are just as bad or worse.

As a PC technician, HP still somehow has the best service and support, which speaks volumes about how bad everyone else is. Dell’s support tools are a generation behind HP’s, and Lenovo’s build quality is atrocious. Not to mention Lenovo’s technician support is so badly fragmented and poorly run, they default to having the customer send the device in for repair and avoid sending an on-site technician just so they can avoid dealing with technician support. Speaking from personal experience, getting to the right person when I have a problem or need to order additional parts is like pulling teeth, and even if I manage to reach someone, they’re usually equal parts incompetent and unhelpful.

And Apple doesn’t even want to service their stuff.

These days, you have to pick your poison.

I’ve been getting a lot of mileage from this.

TikTok isn’t doing anything that any other major social media company isn’t also doing. The only difference being that TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, and not a US one.

Just banning one app does little to resolve the overall privacy and information nightmare that social media is.

Definitely has some Rogue Trader energy to it.

old.reddit is probably going to be on the chopping block, too. I only go for niche communities these days, but I’m gone for good once old.reddit is gone.

I imagine this is only for consumer-grade printers. HP’s business-class devices are usually purchased under a contract.

I already assumed I’m being monitored on my work devices, and write my emails and chats like they’re going to be used in a deposition.

If I’m shit-talking someone, it’s in person or on my personal device.

I just want a hug. More than anything else, I just want someone outside of my family to find me desirable and want to spend their time with me.

The sex can come later. I don’t even really want the sex. It’s that physical intimacy that I want. Someone who will just give me hugs without me worring about whether or not I’m making them uncomfortable.

Honestly, I don’t know what Jack Dorsey is waiting for. The instant Bluesky leaves its closed beta, basically everyone on Twitter is gonna jump ship, and Twitter’s transformation into Truth Social 2.0 will be complete.

The iron has been hot for a long while. What’s he waiting for?

In my experience, people who make a big deal out of their philanthropy are typically doing it to compensate for some other moral deficiency.

What really started to bother me was when he started to make a game out of his giveaways, like “Last person to stop touching the Lamborghini gets to keep it!” and things like that. It just feels wrong, and I can’t quite explain why.

I hope I’m wrong, and so far there is no evidence he’s a secret dickhead, but something about him seems off.
