"You're not dealing with a computer that *can't* do what you've asked of it. You're dealing with a computer that *won't* do it. That computer was programmed to check whether its owner was doing something that the manufacturer disliked, and, when necessary, defend the manufacturer's shareholders by disobeying its owner." - Giblin &@pluralistic, Chokepoint Capitalism

@kd7eir Alt text: a small drone has a metal bar hung below it on a cable. The drone flies to slap an iced power line with the bar, scattering the ice.

Should my wife join fedi?

(Say yes - she promised to make an account if enough people vote in favor. Boosts OK!)

Words With Friends 2 is a showcase of dark patterns:

- Animated pop-up ads where the close button is not in a consistent place, to trick you into clicking on something.

- All-or-nothing notifications, so you can't turn on "it's your turn" and leave off "are you interested in buying candy-colored letter themes? how about now? HOW ABOUT NOW, MOTHER&*#$ER?".

- Games you haven't accepted are lumped in with games you're currently playing, both marked "it's your turn".

@jeff Does it work if we haven't done any previous Aeon's End?

We're working on Ticket to Ride Legacy and it's fantastic!

the nice thing about my ADHD is that if my apartment is haunted I will literally never notice it

“silly me, always leaving these cupboards and drawers open and the sink running at full blast,” I say, as a frustrated ghost screams into a pillow in the corner
