Basically, it's the same thing as buying a "permanent" ticket to a local sports team's home matches. What? Your local team doesn't sell "permanent" tickets? Exactly.

One of the perks of owning these NFTs was that you could attend exclusive events. What those events were going to be about was anyone's guess. Eye burn, apparently.

Aww, ADHD dinosaurs sounds like a cool animal concept. I hope there are turtles who taught us how to deal with depression.

I was about to say "this reminds me of the Hot Dog Stand".

...but someone actually made Hot Dog Stand. Shit.

Look, I'm a Linux nerd, and there are very few things that scare me. Linux Kernel programmers, maybe - you don't meddle with them unless the hour is truly dire and we form a delegation to seek their aid after a complex debate as the world burns around us and we climb their mountain together. ...And the other thing that scares me are some particular brands of Microsoft ultra fans, for thereover lies madness like we have not seen before.

Oh you fancy PC people and your fancy syscall instruction.

I still don't know why I could remember jsr $ab1e. I didn't even write that much assembly.

The indoors aesthetics of sci-fi spaceships are really a topic that has not been studied enough. I loved it when Mass Effect series went full hard into captain's quarters customisation and I was like "ooh! aah!"

I mean, it's totally fashionable to give people who still somehow use Microsoft Internet Explorer scare pop-ups, so why not this?

If you don't run an ad blocker, your browser just isn't safe. This was the security community consensus 15 years ago. Shit sure got worse since then!

"It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!" tweeted Musk. "So, what's the money for? Inquiring minds want to know … "

Elon Musk went fully Pointy-Haired Boss and proudly demonstrated that he doesn't know neither the technical requirements for running one of the most popular websites in the world, nor the financial costs associated with it.

But he did it already and we knew that already.

Well, since it seemed to be a way to support the site and get to see new features ahead of time, so yeah, why not? I only decided not to renew my gold access when it became very clear Spez wouldn't ban the hate subs he loved.

As for getting gold otherwise:

I'm an introvert, ok? I mostly only comment if I have something worthwhile to say.

So the only comments I ever got gilded by others were drunken shitpost. And in one instance some random off the cuff post. ...I don't get it.

Anyway. Basically, I didn't want to post any Gold Baits™. because that way lies madness.

Been using a Suunto 5 Peak watch since May and it's been absolutely great. Dunno if 250€ counts as inexpensive, but like we say in Finland, poor people can't afford to buy cheap shit that breaks right away. (I think they have cheaper options?) Suunto watches talk to phone app which at least on Android is pretty great, and the app can talk to other services which can analyse stuff further.
