Hi all. It's been a while since I've asked, but I'm here again asking for you to support your local fediverse instance. I know many instance operators struggle to make ends meet each month, and there does seem to be a downward trend on donations across the board. If you love this place and are in a position to and your instance supports it, please consider supporting them.

Thank you!

I want off this ride.

Seriously. This whole fiasco might be what kicks me out of tech. I'm so sick of this ridiculous golden calf, this fumed-up Oracle at Delphi.

Website/device age verification is a privacy and security nightmare and everyone who tells you that this is a solved problem is lying to you.

So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone.

Anyway this is why I shop online.
