… and for some reason, nobody’s compartmentalized the project. Even from-scratch upstarts are monolithic. What decade is it?

That is C++ levels of “why the fuck did they add that.”

You forced it on people by demanding it for a must-have game… which came on discs. To some extent, even now, fuck you.

Other comments talk about great sale prices, which is often an anticompetitive practice called “dumping.”

I’d be less blunt if people could admit it’s a monopoly. ‘Oh I never even consider other stores.’ Uh-huh. ‘I mean there’s competitors, but they hardly matter. Even billion-dollar companies can’t make theirs relevant.’ You don’t say. ‘Valve can even afford to let devs sell keys wherever, and the customers still get their ecosystem!’ Yeah, wow. We have a word for that. ‘How dare you.’

If the chainsaw generates so much inertial that it challenges your trajectory, you’re doing something right.

They did my lanw!

When software betrays you, sever.

Our fascist governor’s book-burning crusade has been anything but subtle.

Jesus fuck, Firefox needs a default volume for bare videos besides FULL BLAST.

Especially when you link to a video that opens with a fucking gunshot!

Broken stair apologism.

Fuck all victim-blamers. “Discard” is not how you label a button that permanently erases anything.

iTunes would stomp all over your hard drive, fucking up every MP3 file it could find, and then refuse to believe you could have one copy of a file. Either it’s on your iPod and your computer, or it’s getting dragged behind the woodshed.

Give me sync software that only ever increases redundancy.

… wow, that explains a lot.

Dead skin mask.

A friend in school described this, and I found the concept too ridiculous to believe.

I had to apologize when I later saw Dan Hsu pull one out on CNN.

Also, no swearing on this Christian server.

In civilized countries that’s called dumping, and it’s a crime.

Made even funnier by terms like “street furniture,” which includes the bench, the bus stop, the stop sign, and the curb.

Retroactively.

An incentive structure telling all of them to do likewise.

Neural networks are proof that we suck at defining things, but our labels are excellent.
