I still wonder if artificial sweeteners mess with metabolism, say by training people to ignore satiety signals, which would be why we saw that study a few days back saying artificial sweeteners are associated with weight gain.

Ah, the things we do to attempt to preserve our dignity when we think we’re getting something only entertainingly hot, but turns out to be Chicken à la Mace…

We already know how this game works. Play Monopoly for a demonstration…

How about regulating all the big companies - prohibit sitting on apartments to drive up rents, limit Airbnbs,that sort of thing.

Exactly. Thus the spelling & grammar errors, the obviously far-fetched story. They want the people who don’t raise red flags when they see that nonsense.

They’re filtering for stupid.

Sooner or later, Vader was going to find someone that shares his fetish for black leather…

Now that’s just sad!

And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days…

And people confronted with this change their password from “p@55w0rd!1” to “p@55w0rd@2”. Yep extra-secure!

The thing I noticed right out of the gate when I went slumming on Threads is that the Android app package is 77MB. Compare that to Mastodon at 2.5MB.

Two apps that (from the user’s perspective) do pretty much the same thing - make queries to servers and display pieces of text on the screen, maybe with some pictures or videos. Not that hard.

So what does that extra 74MB of bloat in the Threads app do? Meta’s not telling us…
