Re:Amazon Raises Annual Prime Price 20% to $119 on Thursday April 26, 2018 @08:22PM (#16937369)
I don't have Prime and most packages still take only like 2 days to arrive, even though Amazon estimates that free shipping time at 7-10 days. Maybe it helps that I live in New York? Either way... lol, no way that I'd even pay for the student version of Prime.

Re:Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It (2016) on Wednesday March 28, 2018 @12:37PM (#16699236)
I maintain multiple troll accounts on Twitter and Facebook. That's all I use these services for. I take pride in my active part in the downfall of these services, while at the same time producing intriguing and low-brow troll content.

Once Mark Zuckerberg accepts the fact that not everyone uses the Internet according to his sheltered brain's arbitrary rules (I've even had to send a picture of my driver's license to Facebook to get them to unban one of my accounts. It's just a website! Get over yourselves), then the bubble will pop - with small communities scattered throughout the multiverse of the net just like Web 1.0.

And that's basically it. The web is a multiverse where each of us are simultaneously able to have multiple identities, living multiple realities. It's never been suited to the rules that Facebook is trying to force people into. I feel like Facebook would be better off making their own Internet if they want people to adhere to their bullshit.

I remember installing this in a VirtualBox around 2008 - cool to see it's still going! I had a friend in my CS program who was really into BeOS.

Re:The rise and fall of Ext JS on Friday September 29, 2017 @03:00PM (#15368127)
ExtJS - I have good memories of working with its well-documented, excellent API. For me, it was a precursor to learning iOS development. Only to denounce Apple shortly after, once I realized that Apple will insist that I continue to upgrade my hardware to their latest piece of shit perpetually, throughout my entire life. So yeah. I'm still a web developer. ^_^

Whatever, you know what I meant. But yeah, I do hate branding :P

Ugh, I hate the branding. Smartphones are NOT essential. Fuckers.

I tried to edit it to something like that, but the form didn't work. And now I don't even see an edit button.
