Hope enough teams can band together and file jointly, combined with decent fundraising and fair lawyers.

Fuck these Unity execs and their ilk. I guess they need more motivation to run a business properly, and not be rampaging sociopaths and enshittification experts. Perhaps some lawyers and lawmakers can offer them some humiliation and fear of personally feeling the consequences of their actions.

The exact same thing was said about Reddit execs like Huffman. They never cared enough to compromise. We'll see if the Unity execs are similarly terrible people, whose greed will destroy the company. Seems like the trend these days.

I'm going to have to protest the fact that my cat's top two strategies of "throwing up" and "covertly pooping (for maximum smellz)" are not available.

Yup. pats the old camera softly It should've been retired 5-10 years ago. Instead, it will work until death, like most things in "the richest country on Earth'". Sad.

I used to love the WU app, it was beautiful and accurate. A few years ago I started noticing more and more puzzling changes, before I realized IBM had purchased them. They ruined an incredible app. Seems like they just outsourced development to lowest international bidder.

Everything can be fine 97% of the time, but it only takes a second to get fucked up by a cat's razor-sharp claws or fangs. Then it takes weeks to heal. Fewer declawed cats now, too.

That's... actually not a bad idea? Fleeing would solve as many problems for the country as anything. Would love to see him run to Putin or Kim or some other dictator idol; One for the history books! Unfortunately, he'll probably need more humiliation and losing to get to that point.

Bitwarden has 2FA (for paid tier, like $10/year). I don't consider it "real" 2FA, but it's more secure than just a password, and super quick to copy code using browser addon. Useful for certain sites, that don't stay logged in, require every time, etc.

I've bought exclusively WD storage for many years. Mostly because I've never had a failure, and hadn't read anything terrible about reliability. Well, all that changed this year.

My newest portable drive (Passport Ultra USB-C 2TB) has only 30 hours (40 power cycles) on it, and is clicking/chirping and abnormally slow while writing anything. Probably dying, at least it warned me. It will need to be replaced, at my cost (just out if warranty of course). Combined with SanDisk failures, and complete silence from WD... I'm done with them.

I'm moving to Samsung. I've already bought a replacement (T7 Shield SSD 2TB), and also an M2 NVME (980 Pro with Heatsink) for PC OS refresh later. Hoping to move almost all the things to Samsung SSDs in coming years, outside of 1-2 large Seagate HDDs for NAS.

Bye WD. I do not tolerate reliability issues when it comes to data storage. Or silence from companies when there are massive public failures. Or buying out and destroying the competition.

Hold on, maybe I've figured it out. Endless magical profits, here I come!

Step 4. Be ultra-wealthy. (Bonus for not paying taxes.) Step 5. Do anything. (Bonus for pretending it's profitable.)

How dare you. No, this one. (Really, though. It's been a while and I wanted to see it again, happy to be of service.)
