I remember just living in the menus of NBA Street Vol. 2 just to listen to They Reminisce Over You for as long as possible. Formative moment

Getting breakfast at Newark and they’re playing DDRMAX2 smash hit “Love at First Sight” by Kylie Minogue and I interpret this as a good sign for the trip ahead

I do think I’m too good for Jason Aldean. I love myself enough for that. Sorry, modern country, but we all know what you did.

This is my favorite kind of angry op-ed because the author literally answers the implicit question you’d assume the piece is about in the second paragraph, before turning to the real focus: what the fuck is wrong with you
“There are, as always, logical explanations for such a phenomenon. In our algorithm-driven age, it’s entirely possible to design a curated world where you never encounter “Choosin’ Texas”: You don’t engage with country content, you don’t listen to country playlists, you don’t even remove your earbuds when you enter a coffee shop, should twang be coming out of the speakers. Gone are the days of the monoculture radio hit. Shared experiences are few and far between.”

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Maybe I should give Samsung a shot next. I always stayed away from them because I never liked their Android skin, but the way all software is going these days, what’s the difference

Absolutely. I have a 17 non-Pro now because I gave up expecting these cameras to be any good. I picked up a point-and-shoot instead. My 14 Pro was worse than my 11 Pro, and my 11 Pro might’ve even been worse than my Pixel 3 haha

Every couple of days I take a picture with my phone, and I get to watch in real time as Apple's software takes a perfectly lovely image and destroys detail and makes edges look like heavy ink outlines

It gets harder and harder for me to understand how cameras are still the defining feature of smartphones when companies have relentlessly made them more terrible for generations now

GM’s approach was condescending at the outset, withholding phone projection on EVs to promote its own unproven and unfamiliar ecosystem, as a means strong arm buyers into sharing personal data and purchasing subscription services. Also a confusing message when they selectively support projection.

The fact this is technically possible but we have politicized people to not want it and incentivized companies to never sell it is everything that’s wrong with the world in a nutshell

James Talarico saying very gently, very sweetly, “Obviously trans girls aren’t ACTUALLY girls, and in fact may be inherently dangerous to REAL girls,” as an olive branch to Texas conservatives on Fox News is infinitely more violent and dangerous than the rhetoric of a powerless trans person venting
George Pearkes • @peark.es
The position "I would mass murder [any group] for any improvement of [other group]" is indistinguishable from Nazism. This is one of the most disgusting political opinions I've ever seen posted on this site (though of course the only person who needs to answer for it is the poster themself).

[redacted quote, originally unredacted by Pearkes]
Just to make our position clear and obvious for all the bigots who are going to be seeking clarity and what is surely ambiguous messaging to them: I would happily grind every cishet centrist liberal into catfood if doing so made one working class trans life better.

What if the meaningful infotainment and nav features you need were always up to date and never required a subscription. Also what if their interface didn’t suck ass (debatable, but I still think 2/3 of automakers are dogshit at UI, even now) Will never understand how people can be anti-CarPlay/AA

Very happy Sega’s answered the question of “what if we revived Crazy Taxi in a way that respects none of its original design and also mires it with every trope of modern gaming.” I’ve dreamed of such a sequel for decades

I really want to support well-made third party clients for the services I use but between Overcast’s impending increase and the eye-watering price of that Bsky one, it’s getting harder and harder to justify
