I’m sick of it too. From now on I’m going to max as little as possible. I’m calling it minmaxxing and no, it has nothing to do with RPG character stats.

Actually, they have 2 Outlooks, and neither of them are working.

I mean, I don’t actually want to talk you out of your vow there, but I’m fairly confident this was from a random troll with no affiliation to the actual company. Now I don’t doubt they’d do it if they thought it would be profitable, but even if they did foolishly think this would work, I’d be shocked if we’re even on their radar.

Maybe? Can’t go back and look because the account was deleted. I could have easily missed or even forgotten any additional details. Heck, I recently had to be reminded it was 3 days and not a whole week, so don’t put to much trust in my memory.

I was there, Bootleg. I was there 3 thousand years ago. I was there the day the patience of Lemmy failed. I mean, come on mizu6079, just tell us why you need to avoid pooping for that long!

But yeah, that happened right after I started using Lemmy. I’d been commenting for less than a week, and my first post was a “Chewy, we’re home” meme about how all the memes on the topic made me feel as a new user. That account’s long dead now, but apparently lemmy.world still has my post https://lemmy.world/post/560966. Federation is neat.

OP commented cheerfully on all the memes about him, but still refused to elaborate. Then he disappeared for the week, as expected. I can’t remember for sure, but I thought I recalled him returning briefly asking for advice on dealing with severe constipation, getting annoyed that everyone still only wanted to talk about how his week went and what the hell this was all about, and then he disappeared for good. I assume he’s likely still around under a new identity and he just sighs and clicks away every time this is brought up again.

Sounds like she didn’t have any problems spending her husband’s porn money before. It’d be a bit hypocritical if she suddenly has a problem with it now that it’s her hand on the tiller. To be fair, big life changes like the loss of a loved one often makes people rethink things in their life. If she does have an issue with that business model, she’ll probably just sell her stake so she can remain uninvolved, but still be rich.

Reminds me of several years back when a police department got caught using their civil asset forfeiture acquired funds to buy, among other things, a margarita machine. I had assumed this was a gross misuse of funds, a betrayal of public trust and etc, but what if they just got it as a tool for a creative interrogation tactic?

I’m gonna have to look that up again. I think I recall them getting away with no consequences.

That was my strategy. Thought I’d give the fediverse a try during the blackout protests over the API lockdown. I missed reddit for a little while, but after a while I just didn’t anymore. Sure there’s not the avalanche of content here, but there’s substantially less bullshit too. Now if I end up back on reddit from a search for something in particular, I find myself amazed at how shit it all is.

Same username I use everywhere. I came up with it back around '07. For the first part, I fenced epee at the time. I never did earn my C rating in the sport, though I came within a literal inch of it multiple times. For the second part, we were playing a lot of DnD at the time, and I am very much like a DnD gnome.

As much as I hate these assholes coopting Tolkien’s works, it is a really apt name for this company. In the story, the Palantir were wonderous tools for communication until they were corrupted and taken over by literal evil, turned into tools of surveillance and control.

I dislike that the article refers to Thiel as a Libertarian without putting quote marks around it. While he is firmly opposed to governments regulating businesses, he makes and sells the tools to help governments exercise more authority over private citizens. I know the term has also been largely coopted by fascists, but it still annoys me.
