Ace Attorney is a dystopian hellhole, but it's also a world where there's a major public backlash when it's discovered that the prosecution and police fabricated evidence to convict a serial killer

Using "y'all need Clippy" as a secular alternative.

“The ancient ones taught us language and gave us all we needed. Legends say they could create food from metal!”

“Maybe they were just very tall?”

“Perhaps. There are relics that show us how they looked. Here's a picture of an ancient one.”

Zoom acquired Keybase today.

Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.

Beware the Keybase formula:

1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded

‘So, which one of you is the “well actually” and which one is the “I’d like to speak with the manager”?’

its wild to me that people think mark zuckerberg must be a big weirdo because of armchair diagnosing him with autism and not because he is a shitty asshole who became unfathomably wealthy because he made a shitty PHP website to rank girls on their hotness when he was 19

see how the gaslighting works? people are being told they're suffering ‘re-entry anxiety’
