I watched Miss Americana on Netflix and it's all about how Twitter cancelled Taylor Swift, and now I think I'm a Swiftie.

BTW Taylor Swift and Rick Astley really need to do a collab. They both have copyright problems and are never gonna give you up.

Can someone explain how WebRTC actually works? Is it HTTP? Does it require a centralized server, and how does it find peers?

Pikmin 3 looks significantly better on the Steam Deck.

Steam Deck can perfectly emulate Switch gamesFuck you Windows, Valve GTOW and making Linux mainstreamFor $400 you can play AAA titles and pirate all Switch games for freeNintendo DMCA’s videos about Steam Deck Switch emulationLinus Tech Tips makes a video called “I am a pirate” and “I dare Nintendo to take this down” showcasing Switch emulation on Steam Deck

Damn I’m feeling hopeful about free software, free culture, internet freedom etc all because of a capitalist company making money.

Whoever decided airport ride app pickup should be inside a giant concrete parking garage with no signal, is retarded.

Okay guys, I made up my mind. It's called the Veganverse and you can't stop me.

Everyone I've talked to says that "Fediverse" is a terrible name. So tell me what it should be called instead.

So I'm basically a Nazi trying to exterminate all trans women. On the other hand I'm a gay diversity hire. It's got to be one or the other, right?

Apparently some girl got banned from Instagram for looking too much like Taylor Swift.

Ever wonder what happens if you accidentally send Bitcoin to a Coinbase custodial address?

Their customer support says "blockchain transactions are irreversible" and keeps the money.

I'm really curious how they file their taxes.

I chatted with them for 3 hours. The agents didn't understand the issue. It was really clear they don't actually know how crypto or even Coinbase works.

This is not a case where the money is lost. They actually have the money, and are refusing to return it, while saying "transactions are irreversible." Yes, so create a NEW transaction to return the money. I told them this and they refused.

If you mail cash or other valuables to the wrong address by mistake, there's actually legal precedent that the receiver has to return it. So I think it would be possible to sue Coinbase and win. It's basically theft.

I had $300 of USDC just disappear from my account. No record of it leaving my account. Took 8 days to get it back... On the 7th consecutive day of messaging them and them running me around in circles they nuked my login and emailed me that any attempt to message them would lock my account for longer. After getting access again the funds were returned with no record of it leaving or being put back. They are a nightmare if you have an issue.
