It's still important for video game preservation, no matter how crappy the games themselves might be.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every 'cloud' with 'butt' even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

It sounds like a name deliberately chosen by the author writing whatever techno-political thriller novel they're working on.

We've got the perfect global pandemic movie post-credits section.

  • Accelerating climate change and also the denial
  • Economic recession and increasing wealth gap
  • Myopic leadership both in government and corporate, rise of fascism
  • Misinformation campaigns, science and history denial becoming fashionable
  • Harambe

We're truly fucked.

Thank you for using IPA instead of other cheap beers.

I dread meetings and I can't wait for AIs to replace those managers. Or perhaps we'll have even more meetings because the management wants to know why we're so late despite the AI happily churning out meaningless codes that look so awesome like all that CSI VB GUI crap.

It's incredle how public perceptions change, huh? Bill Gates was considered the devil back when MS was steamrolling against open source software.

Definitely an issue. I can't count the times I've slammed my head because the stupid settings screen "conveniently" switches from the previous item to another while I still expected it to open a new window just like the command panel.

It's still unbelievable considering Twitter had made its way into other languages' lexicon other than English. In Spanish, for example, the word "tuit" had been added officially in the dictionary. It had no competitors in brand awareness and all it took was a manchild with money to burn to take it all down.

That will make people cling to their VPN accounts even more, not less.

There's also the issue of self-censorship. No way of knowing if any Russian folk interviewed actually agree to what they say.
