Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

people have 206 bones, dogs have 319, we need a tier list of animals by number of bones
SMS-based 2FA should be illegal, TOTP has existed for far too long at this point.
had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed
I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
LRT if we regularly interact and dont already have my telegram lmk, because if the age thing happens here i am simply never using this again
I joined this app with 0 expectations already because all Twitter clones and social medias suck but damn does this piss me OFF. You are not getting my ID and this doesn't even fall in-line with my state's verification laws
the same goes for me
Well i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information. If this happens again i will not attempt to log back in. If i dont post here again let bsky know that i prefer my privacy over this platform.
GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.
This is what every game developer sounds like right now.
Sega confirms and responds to generative AI content in the new Crazy Taxi. "Generative AI was used to support our teams during the development of background assets for Crazy Taxi: World Tour," Sega says. gameinformer.com/2026/06/07/s...
This is the platonic ideal of the bluescreen. I am using a device. When it fails, I want to see a big sterile readout that says "the machine has failed. This is why." Not fucking "Google the error message to learn more :]" you fucking rats.
This fucking frownie face is like the fulcrum point of mass tech enshittification for me. This stupid juvenile baby shit in relation to software maintenance drives me up the wall. "Oops! Something went wrong! UwU computer make boom boom! Compy no work good l :((((." Shut the fuck up. Machine.
I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.
STOP IT STOP EMAILING AND TEXTING ME ONE TIME CODES please i beg you pay attention to nist 800 and let me use my own fucking authenticator or just switch to passkey
