My entire adult life I learned to type with em-dashes and now I just realized that everything I write looks AI as fuck because of it 😭

ICYMI, @npub1dm24...7754 now has a merch store. There's some dope designs. No AI. All humans.

Sometimes you meet your heroes and walk away disappointed. Other times, you become a super fan. So anyways I went to Europe for the first time for real.

One thing I really appreciate about rap fans is that all the ones I've met don't give the remotest hot shit about genre. If they like something, they like it, regardless if it's rap or not. "Bro, this slaps. Who is this? Cattle Decapitation? Play this shit every day from now on." In other news, today my coworker became a fan of The Amity Affliction.

Apparently I will be in Seattle in the next two weeks and I haven't built an itinerary. What should I do? I've been once before, and back then I saw the Space Needle, Mount Saint Helens, the MoPOP (back then it was just the rock & roll and scifi museums), the underground city, Pike's Place, and maybe something else I'm forgetting. (cont)

After many, many years, I've added a second wish to my list of things I'd like to happen when I die. I want my tombstone to read "Here lies Nate. He hated Samsung. Like, a lot." I'm not joking.

is there a version of that website "let me google that for you" but it's literally any other search engine? I'd even accept DDG.

“To use the Net, you had to understand Unix, and the current users had no interest in making it easier. In fact, there was a definite element of not wanting to make it easier, of actually wanting to keep the riffraff out.” Imagine if the gatekeepers got their way. Now look at the current comments about how we don't want normies on Mastodon or how Windows users deserve to be hacked. Fuck gatekeepers.

A history of the Internet, part 2: The high-tech gold rush begins

The Web Era arrives, the browser wars flare, and a bubble bursts.

Every passing day I become increasingly baffled what value Facebook could possibly be bringing to anyone's life at this point that outweighs all the garbage that comes with it.

Meta is experimenting with having customizable chatbots messaging users unprompted and follow up on past conversations.
