Just don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.

They boppin your data through the drivers. Don’t need direct internet access. 2026.

Wut? Explain

I didn’t realize that someone from Washington State would think of Lake Ontario as theirs?

Where are the “I did that” stickers now???

I see them in many gas stations in SoCal.

Irony is unlike this administration, the previous one didn't have much to do with fuel demand spike in first summer after COVID lockdowns.

Oh, I see them, ha ha!

According to Trumper forums, this is just a short spike that will be solved within a month by Trump's publicized Venezuelan Oil Conquest - black gold soon to be in the hand of US Corpo (North American Blue Energy Partners). Prices will drop very, very soon to $2/gallon. Trump has this well in hand and you must keep the faith with GEOTUS.

“I would expect something like this from IBM, but I never expected it from IBM!”

It’s wild to me that people click ads.

Advertisements don't need to be clicked to work. Billboards clearly work for reasons other than being clicked.

Do they though? It is often very hard to know with ads. My experience is that most people spending money on ads have no idea if they are getting any sort of return. Are there any studies that show billboard ads work?

BTW That why money off vouchers are so common with ads. Because this is an actual way you can check if the ad is working. Although there are confounding factors - maybe they were going to buy from you before they saw the voucher?

If you asked me to name the companies on the billboards that line the highway I commute on, I couldn't do it.

I don't think any single form of advertising is effective on the whole population.

If you saw a product from a brand on a billboard on your commute, and a product from a brand you've never seen before, you'd probably be able to pick which one you've never seen before.

I might recognize a color theme or similar. I had a friend make a joke about a lawyer who was apparently on multiple billboards for years. The name didn't click at all, so he had to explain. I did notice later due to the joke priming me.

Have you observed any humans and their decision making capabilities lately? :)

It’s still a myth. This administration labels anything that is against their agenda as “Antifa.”

They still haven’t positively identified an organization called “Antifa” and never will.

Why not just make sure you’re not on call for important events like your daughter’s birthday???

Is this bit-chat or bitch-at?

Have you ever heard of the rather excellent Pen Island, vendors of fine pens? On my work computer, so you can plumb the internet archive for yourself.

Thanks, in a bit, I'm browsing therapistfinder.com right now.

Yes :)

Sounds like a suitable addition to the ATProto ecosystem :)

It's explicitly in opposition to ATProto. That's probably why they went with Radicle and not Tangled

What the hell are Radicle and Tangled

They're curtains for Zoosha. An alternative to Poob (which is now on Pheebo).

EDIT: sorry I felt too bad not to leave an explanation

Thanks for combobulating. I used to use Hackysack but I switched to Phlegm after the Unhappy Kittens controversy.

https://tangled.org/ Code forge based on AT Protocol.

Radicle: decentralised GitHub

Tangled: centralised Radicle

It's worth noting the distinction between the auth layer and the data layer here. Tangled uses ATProto primarily for authentication, but it departs from the standard PDS model by offloading Git storage to knots.

While that's a clever hybrid, Bitchat is aiming for a truly serverless, local-first experience (especially with the Bluetooth mesh aspect). Radicle’s gossip-based P2P stack mirrors that vision more closely. In this case, Radicle isn't "better" in a vacuum—it's just the right tool for a project that wants to eliminate mediating servers entirely.

It depends on whom you’re talking to

> It depends on whom you're bitching at

FTFY

Or a misspelling of bitch hat

BitchX was already taken

Yep.

That’s a pretty insane leap to go from “we have a non-technical security team” to “DEI caused this.”

I can’t even open it because the domain is blocked in my dns as being an analytics collection system.
