What a weird addition to a news app. The news app was a load of garbage when I tried to use it back in the day but what’s next? News+ Microblogging?

That got me too. Like, what?! Is corpo social media so sensitive that people can’t mention a scientific name for something now? Soon when joining Facebook it’ll give users a handy infographic of allowed words.

Unfortunately, I have the opposite experience. Living in rural Australia I often come across people who treat any non-white person as “other”.

A good example of this is an ex-coworker who refused to eat Indian food because she’s not a “curry muncher”. I pointed out that she likes butter chicken and that’s curry. She admitted that she did indeed like butter chicken but not curry.

That’s the logic we’re dealing with. It’s hostility driven by a lack of exposure to other cultures and people and the demonisation of those cultures and people in media.

I don’t use either but I do find one mega-corp accidentally playing nice with another mega-corp and then essentially admitting it was due to incompetence pretty funny.

Ubisoft: Best I can do is another Assassins Creed crammed with micro transactions and bloat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This whole event is so cool! I’ve been wanting to do my part for Super Earth but irl has been thwarting my patriotic duties.

That’s nuts.

I’m pretty keen to see how 2.0 shapes up. I’ve been waiting for stable release before jumping across.

Honestly, at this point, there might be enough of us volunteering to bounce that fucker back to Jupiter. A lot of us will be turned into jam but I think it’s worth the sacrifice.

What is the world coming to when we can’t even trust spyware 😞
