it's been really disheartening to see Mozilla repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot for years now. they should really have figured out by now that their core user base is people that understand the issues caused by big tech and have actively chosen to support its alternatives

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.
Dear Bluesky liberals. Come back to Twitter. Please. PLEASE.

fun fact turns out modern CPUs are so fast that a single cycle of SNES emulation happens so fast that if you have your machine doing any kind of energy optimization it keeps putting the emulator on the backburner because it thinks it's idle
does anyone who follows me here know anything about SNES emulation? i've beaten SMW on Wii, 3DS, and Switch with no issues, yet somehow my gaming rig which comfortably outclasses them all is getting nauseating frame jittering when attempting to run a goddamn Super Nintendo launch title

even if JK Rowling doesn't directly make money from it (which, i'm not confident is actually the case), continuing to engage with anything that touches HP continues to make giving JKR money a lucrative option and shows that an association with her bigotry is not an immediate turn-off for you

if i had a nickel for every robot-related youtube video my mom and stepdad showed me a bunch as a kid that i assumed everyone had seen but it turns out are basically completely unknown outside of my house, i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year

"smoking is a fact of life, we must accommodate it" is insane to read in 2025. never let anyone tell you things are the way they are because that's just how it is
Reading about smoking ban proposals before the tobacco master settlement in 1998 is always a trip: www.nytimes.com/1984/02/15/u...
