It’s an old joke about mixing up the words Polyglot and Troglodyte

And everytime you like it, a random wired device goes wireless.

Right there next to Polyglot.

My publisher once asked me to remove my game from itch.io, saying it was needed to negotiate some deal with valve. I don’t know how much of it was true though. I had set up that itch.io before signing with the publisher.

Mamma Mia

The faucet

Niantic always announced itself as a data company.

In my head this scene was my own idea so unless I completely forgot about it (which would not surprise me) it wasn’t

Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.

… It was a technicality.

Flashback:

Architect: “man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked.”

Either way these days it is very unlikely that the first result will have anything useful on it unless you’re just searching for some basic information like a celebrity’s age or stuff like that.

I believed they maybe weren’t listening because those cases that people claim as “proof” of listening can usually be explained in other ways as well. People tend to assume they were listening because its the easier explanation but with the amount of data that Meta has, they can easily lead people into thinking about things by showing specific posts on the Facebook timeline and also predict to some extent what people may end up talking about based on things like how many times you replay a certain video and how long did you keep certain posts in focus on the screen and that sort of stuff that people often don’t realize is also data for them.

Still, I would never put my hand on fire for them and never completely discarded the possibility of them listening.

Well we always accused Meta of listening. If it was their partners, they technically weren’t lying when they said they weren’t. “we don’t need to listen to you” was technically correct too, it just missed one word: “we don’t need to listen to you ourselves”

With all the information that Google knows about us and everything, they could in theory be doing a great job suggesting things that would be great for us - for example showing me a product or service I don’t know exists which would help me with some problem I may be having.

Google pretends that it’s what they do - showing the best possible ads for us. But what they do is the complete opposite, they find the best possible users to show their ads to. They have a responsibility to the ad, not to the user.

Everytime this shows up I wonder if this is really a male nipple or if the creator used a female one just for extra laughs. If it was a serious thing that people actually did it would be hilarious if they were replacing one female nipple for another.

Somehow also reminds me of a story about a singer’s album cover released during the latest military dictatorship in Brazil (it was a heavily censored period). Folks went out of their way photographing a woman’s asshole with a marble ball on it until they managed to get one that looked like an eye - then used that picture as the album cover.

Not to mention the album cover with an asshole on it.

I never associated it with the people pleasing aspect of my life, but it took me 35 years to finally enjoy one song by myself, to the point I actually didn’t mind just listening to it without doing anything else at the same time.

I deleted all my comments last year. Recently I got a notification for a response in one of such comments. When I clicked the notification link, my comment and the response were visible. The comment doesn’t show up in my profile.

I started cycling on the wrong side of the road because I can be responsible for my own safety that way. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been endangered by some driver acting like I wasn’t on the road at all while going on the right side.

And I forgot to save it every time it showed up. Now I have this one saved only.

Edit: nevermind, the other was right under this in the timeline

And there’s a ton of articles here with very misleading titles, specially on technology communities. At some point I noticed three large threads in a row where the article title claimed one thing but even the article itself was about something completely different.
