  • Kalimotxo. It’s red wine and cola in roughly equal parts, to taste. It’s a great way to salvage old wine that’s a day or two past drinkable, especially on a hot day.

    I described it once on reddit in the before times, and someone called it a “shit red wine spritzer” and I think that’s kinda apt.

  • Isn’t that basically Tajin?

  • I would say the only silver lining here is that the exploitation of labor puts these giants in a precarious position where all of their critical work is being done by unhappy, extrinsically motivated people who are often only still there because they’re relatively immobile (i.e., they aren’t good enough at their job to find another one easily) or they were kept on because their salary is lower and they’re less experienced. It makes these massively complicated technology ecosystems extremely brittle, which is why software has been shit across the board for the past decade or so. It’s possible there will be a pendulum swing if and when quality becomes an attainable and marketable feature again.

  • I do. It’s not ideal but it still gives me something better to do than social media.

    I’ve heard it’s quirky and kinda mid as a phone, but not unusable.

  • Color screen and the fact that Onyx, the makers of Boox, flagrantly violate GPL terms.

    But it was the Boox Palma getting publicity that made me aware of the form factor and start digging. I’m super happy with the Bigme Hibreak, but I don’t have a SIM card in it. I mostly use it in airplane mode as a dumb e-reader and don’t even install any apps besides the minimum needed to do that.

  • I got an e-ink e-reader in the pocketable form factor of a phone (Bigme Hibreak Color). Instead of doomscrolling social media, I read a couple paragraphs of the Oppenheimer biography. Next I’ll reread Neuromancer. It’s life-changing. 10/10 highly recommended.

  • But obviously it was stolen by a liberal, not a foreign agent, so you’re obviously wrong and stupid.

  • Get the cheapest intern you’ve got and task them with getting as many follow up letters and wasted effort as possible. Ask for clarifications, redirect, misdirect, delay. Lawyers are expensive.

  • Yo momma so fat she doesn’t have a waist size, she has a Schwarzschild radius.

  • You callin’ me fat?

  • Active GPS burns through battery pretty quickly. AirTags and the like work because any iPhone that walks within range will share the location anonymously.

  • He’s not embarrassed. It’s not possible. He’s just pumping and dumping the global economy along with his friends and doesn’t give a fuck what happens or what anyone thinks of it.

  • So he skipped shorting TSLA and just shorted the actual Swastikar instead?

  • “We’re having trouble with AI solving problems. Let’s solve the problem with AI.”

    It’s not strictly a bad idea or doomed or anything, but it makes me sad.

  • I’ve heard blood can substitute for egg. Maybe a giant shit omelet instead?

  • Am I allowed to mix concrete with the blood of traitors to create a (probably very large) shit emoji?

  • I would suggest redirecting slightly. Every single publicly traded tech company eventually fully enshittifies into predatory ad/data revenue generation due to the fundamental requirement that they not only generate profit, but that they consistently generate growth.

    I could create an amazing app, sell it for $5, and if 5 million people download it and I don’t sell out or incorporate and go public, I could just cruise on it and retire happily. There’s no intrinsic pressure to switch profit models because I don’t owe anybody shit.

  • They’ve been added to the watchlist.

    Wait, is that the watchlist?

    Yeah that’s the one. Whew, for a minute I thought we added them to the war planning chat.

    Wait, fuck.
