  • X, formerly Twitter, faces 2,200 arbitration cases and filing fees over $3 million
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 88%

    You’re technically right, which is the best kind of right. It’s a destructive CEO story who just happens to run a tech company (into the ground)

    This is like the Spanish guy kissing the winning footballer woman on the lips against her will. It’s going to be reported under sports, but really it’s a sexism story that just happens to be in sports.

    But at least it is being reported and commented on, no?

  • xkcd #2821: Path Minimization
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    Basically, yes. The path that maximises time goes around the world, so starts by going up off the top of the screen, and re-enters at the bottom.

    Technically I think it could be a little longer by spiralling around the world several times, still reaching the target point despite going “in a straight line”. If we ignore the “straight line” restriction, which some of the other paths already do, then the sky’s the limit. Technically actually, the sky isn’t the limit, and the path could criss-cross over the whole planet first, and the air, and the whole galaxy, before reaching the destination as the last feasible space to arrive at. Personally I think that’s too complex for xkcd, if they are going for complex I’m sure they would have come up with something about paths through n-space and black-hole theory that is beyond my pay grade.

    Xkcd good ;)

  • Changing Its Name Tanked X’s Downloads in App Store and Play Store
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    I’m sure the full phrase it references is “going down in a blaze of glory”, and is just Elon’s edgy nod that he is catastrophically destroying the platform, but just enough deniability In case it all works out and is a success.

  • Firefox is the only way.
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 92%

    Ditto. As much as people pretend Firefox is niche, it is the only browser with lineage back to the start of the web.

    2023 Fiat Topolino Dolcevita rule
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    Me too. I also love the microlino design, very similar but the front is the door. Reminds me of the quirky cars of the 1960s

  • Fringe is a gem that changed the way I think about Sci-Fi TV
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    Shows that explore the implausible run the risk of getting lost and becoming incoherent. Fringe definitely got into that problem, but managed to pull it together into an emotionally satisfying conclusion - while not all elements really made sense, it felt right.

    But that was exactly what they wanted, hate clicks are eyeballs nonetheless

    Nope. You need bots to coordinate pixels, people have better things to do than login there.

  • Mozilla opposes Web Integrity API proposal
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    I think mozilla succinctly explained the flaw in the proposal. Introducing technology to make the lives of the majority better is great, but if the necessary side-effect is to permanently exclude a minority of people from the internet, then that isn’t cool.

  • Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor?
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 100%

    I’m a big fan of publii - nice to use, simple, no server-side stuff, so free web hosting should cover all you need.

  • Joey for Reddit went down today
  • EricKendrick EricKendrick 1y ago 50%

    I’m sure there are places like the internet archive who have copies, your stuff isn’t gone if you delete it.

    Reddit is like the ex who cheated on you, that person isn’t the person you knew. Now you can leave behind your stuff at their place, but why would you? You are rewarding them by gifting your stuff, making them more respectable and credible, than you know they really are.

    People say move on. Move on, and take your stuff with you.

  • Reddit account deleted. It’s weird, fell out of love with Facebook but still have the account, but as a paying Reddit customer I held it to higher expectations. Lemmy seems clunky still, but if Star Trek has taught us anything it’s that the federation is the future. Let’s make it so.
