They might also be meaningless internet points. Who knows.

Or Loops. You know, being open source, privacy respecting and all that.

Nah, just kidding. Who wants any of that when you have the little red book instead.

Edit: Turns out, the fine print of Loops is worth reading.

Clearly shows that hours and minutes are messy units. The French Revolution fixed a lot of stupid problems, but decimal time just didn’t stick for some reason.

My guess is, the people who care didn’t stick around. As s result, quality went down.

This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.

Speaking of utopias, have you heard that the internet was supposed to bring people together and ends pointless debates?

The idea was that people would be exposed to opposing viewpoints since everyone could communicate effortlessly with everyone. Information would also be easily available to everyone, which would make it clear who is right and who is wrong.

Yeah, that worked out perfectly…

Most cookie consent dialogues:

  1. There’s only one big accept button
  2. If the decline button even exists, it’s grey whereas the other one is green.
  3. The decline option could be buried deep under other menus.
  4. The sizes of the buttons

Most companies are trying to actively manipulate you to accept all cookies, but nowadays there are a few companies that don’t resort to any of these dirty tricks.

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

If you see someone on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, that counts as only three days in a row, since Monday is on another row. If you see somebody on four consecutive Tuesdays, that would be four days in a column.

That’s ok. You can always try again yesterday.

While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions.

Then I realized, that doing so would block visible light. Plants need the light to grow, and we need the plants to breathe and eat. Obviously, this is not going to be a long term solution. Oh, and how do you even make sure the volcanic eruption doesn’t spiral out of control and suddenly spew out 50 times the ash we were aiming for. Oh, and volcanoes also spew CO2 and even nastier gases, so… It sounded so good while I was still in the shower. The more I think about it, the worse it gets.

If an app abuses the privilege of being able to show me notifications, badges or anything, that privilege will be swiftly revoked.

I follow the official upgrade method. Can’t be bothered to mess around with anything more complicated than that. Besides, the devs probably understand the system better than I do, so there has to be a reason why that is the preferred way.
