Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

Yeah I stopped when Lane got there. Up until that point I was a staunch advocate of the show. I felt the finale and premiere of some of those seasons were some of the best TV I’ve seen.

I mean I haven’t watched it since university, not sure if it holds up, but I remember it being amazing.

I used to be that guy too. I used to be the idiot that recommended him to others as well. I followed him from NewsRadio, FearFactor and stuff too man.

Yeah I actively avoid anything related to that clown now.

Fuck Joe Rogan, there could literally not be a worst candidate for the Republican party than Trump right now and this fuck face endorses him. Fuck him.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

I think Sam Seder was talking about how he did this set in an NYC comedy club the night before and it bombed there too.

“You know that’s a joke,” Rogan said. “That’s like going to a Quentin Tarantino movie [and saying], ‘And then the man killed that woman.’ Like, he didn’t really kill that woman … this is a movie.”

I don’t know where to begin. Joe said earlier that it isn’t a comedy show, so don’t do a set there and then he’s calling out Obama. How about you go fuck yourself Joe. Also, you fucking suck at comedy too. Your set sucks.

That they all go back home and do a podcast about how the left wing and Democrats are the real enemy but they’re definitely not Nazis though.

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.

Anytime someone says, “tell me why”

I start singing.

Sounds similar to the SSL stuff, like for GitHub and stuff. I guess the preference in that case would be my password manager as it stores my password already.

Perhaps it’s best I pay for Bitwarden premium now and use those hardware keys people are recommending.

Also thanks!

Yeah I didn’t understand passkeys. I’m like why is my browser asking to store them? What if I’m using another browser? Why is my password manager fighting with my browser on where to store this passkey?

I felt so uneasy.

So I decided not to use passkeys for now until I understood what’s going on.

Yup and then you have some random weirdo comes in and says, “yeah the GOP do this stuff, but the dems let them, so we should vote GOP to teach those dems.”

Aren’t inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.
