#CrankyOldMan Peeve of the Day:
Heard a NYT nterviewer used the expression “taking a different tact” to mean “using a different approach”. I'm generally a fan of linguistic descriptivism over prescriptivism, and there is no loss of meaning here, so I shouldn't care.

But the word is TACK, as in “direction of sail across/into the wind”, not TACT, as in “speaking to avoid insult”.

Ok, I'm done. Sorry for the interruption. Carry on.

John Gruber and Jason Snell: with Creator Studio, Apple has enshitified its brand identity. (At about 1:30 of the podcast.) Apple’s move to ads and subscriptions is ruining its software side of their business. Which helped justify the premium price you pay for the, admittedly fabulous, hardware.

people of fedi, what do you watch/read to, like, forget whats happening ?
(can someone please send me something to to use to cope ?)

Accounting for every different version of every book, movie, show, or game really is a case of #ScreamingIntoTheVoid

I just want to say I did the things, not went through all this madness. Revisions exist that you might not even be aware that become the new canon or something, AAAAAAAH

Screaming into the void

I mod a sub reddit for a fairly nice car. You need to have good credit and be somewhat financially stable to properly afford one, IE not buying a Nissan Altima at 10% APR for 90 months.

But some of the red pilled people posts makes me wonder how they are relatively successful at life.

You know what #ING? Your #banking app isn't "more convenient" than your website, because every time I log in I'm shown three modal adverts that I have to carefully dismiss, so I don't accidentally take out an unneeded loan.

Oh and F-you for the "Allow custom advertising" pop up with Yes/Maybe Later options.

How is anyone actually meant to use this in a normal way?

Oh and your support chat messages also aren't available in the app, only the website.

Here's a fun game: See how loud you can scream "F*CK OFF!!!" at the stupidity of the universe before the police arrive.
I'll go first...
