do you mean to tell me all these boyfriend applications I have been submitting to these accounts are worthless?

Control Service Corporation specifically is pulling this shit

Looks like brand protection agencies are now obfuscating the signatures on their letters of authorization. Is this a response to the Adjustor?

I hope you feel better soon

BREAKING: CEO shooter Luigi Mangione once participated in a ritual game where participants slowly hanged a man by guessing the letters of a secret word

Bonus points if "Sign Up" has a complete form on the home page, but "log in" requires clicking through to a different page and form.

Dark pattern: any website where "Sign Up" is displayed prominently on every visit, but "log in" is de-emphasized and difficult to find at a glance.

This tells you up front that the platform explicitly prioritizes growth and onboarding new users, over the user experience of existing users.

Its a false claim, legally speaking, due to nominative fair use, but they want you to believe it anyway and react with fear. It is a bad faith intimidation tactic. I try to call it out as such when they try it, which is often.

over here refusing ISP takedowns like always. fuck those overreaching brand protection racketeers.

Corporations today demand to be worshipped as gods. Thou shalt not take their name in vain.

Honestly, it is surprisingly cogent, and not crazy sounding at all.

This will probably end up being Google Premium or some shit

It's interesting how intensely *hostile* basically all tech is now. Everything you own is spitting in your face all the time and daring you to do something about it.

Yeah, not the first time I'm seeing it, but I definitely don't see it every day. Golang malware is actually more common in my experience, interestingly enough.

Hmm, the malware is written in rust. don't see that every day.

this is just so... limber compared to its northern cousin. I am not accustomed to seeing opossums move with such grace. Ours waddle.

fair to middling, lol

it just occurred to me that W is a fucking vowel (sorry Deutschland) and we've been lied to all this time

Dear young people,
You are permitted, in fact encouraged, to use profanity on the Internet.

An AI-generated social network app where you execute indulgence of cruelty on the long dead, replying to ancient Egyptians "the sea people are coming rip bozo"

fuuuuuck you toooooooo buddy

I personally am trying to find the line between "raising awareness" and "flooding the timeline with a bunch of propaganda-driven reactive negativity about issues beyond my control." It's tough to define, and I'm certain I crossed that line sometimes on Twitter back in the day. Trying to do better.

Reminds me of this thread from the other day. You're not the only one noticing this. I had the exact same reaction, worried that perhaps *I'm* one of these accounts.

this sounds like something a typical eurorack enjoyer would say, tbh

I ran this "veilid" thing, and now UDP packets are flying and I'm questioning my life choices
