So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I’m not mad, I’m happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

That’s already very common and should be shut down, but usually it applies to the particular service you are using… Not whatever this bullshit is…
Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think “wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case” and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with “which device is the problem?”
Google pixel 8
Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one
So I click the phone next page says “this phone?” -serial number
Click
That you bought on this date from us?
Click
Good news it’s under warranty! Would you like to start the process?
Thought I’d already started it but… Click
Please enter the serial number or IMwhatever code. Click here for instructions on where to find this on your phone.
… Click back 2 pages, copy and paste the # they told me
WRONG CODE
take the space that was at the front for some reason
Great! Here are the next steps…
Me: wtf is this garbage…
Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it’s easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create “public opinion” that won’t be in line with actual public opinion.
Great content isn’t necessarily everyone’s prefered content. Having it all in one place helps people who want to see it see it and people who don’t don’t have to. Win win.
Black and Decker owns DeWalt.
That was comedy gold and everybody missed it.
Is that what they meant?! I had given up. Thanks.
I’ve never heard mine name drop any business and I use it all the time… I’m in Canada so maybe there’s a difference there?
How has your email transition been? I have been moving away from Google slowly for a few years/intentionally avoiding onboarding with Google services. I don’t use Chrome, no google search, haven’t used messenger ever, that sort of thing.
But moving away from Gmail is hard. Would love your thoughts.
I think you might be confused. If you didn’t want people’s answers, perhaps next time don’t ask, or ask a buddy over a drink.
Are you keeping up with the Commodore?
My dad was showing us all Moon Shuttle for the 64, some old game he’d never played. And then he pulled out a chip he called “the shadow” that I guess has a history to it. It was a replacement for another chip you’d plug it into the hard drive to… Copy games? But they didn’t work or they didn’t make enough? He even showed me his thermal printed complaint letter he wrote explaining how long he waited and how many times he was fobbed off.
While I have to suffer the canned variety most of the time, a good cheesy pineapple onion black olive pizza is a very good thing. Or pineapple with any spicy ingredients.
Growing up there was a pizza place in my home town that had a house pizza. The primary thing was the crust was almost… crackery? Dry and crispy (it was just a family owned restaurant, don’t know if they had a pizza oven). The toppings were pineapple, green olives, crumbled/very fine dice ham, onion… I wish I could remember if that’s all. It was an amazing pizza and I regret they closed and I can never have it again :(
My partner went to a convention in another city. He was caught off guard by the number of dudes in leather and fetishwear that he saw around the hotel when he first arrived but just thought the city must have a diverse and adventurous night life.
The next morning on his way out he spotted a poster, it was “The Bear Ball” weekend, some disco themed big gay guy event, and the hotel he was in was the headquarters, which explains why most of the other attendants of his conference were being housed in a different hotel.
He said he had some great people watching for the next couple days.
