That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot

May the new year find you with love in your heart.

You will remain here, running between dogs and shadows.

Nice Easter Egg addition in the script of Boss, referencing Caini // Dogs and Umbre // Shadows.

View from my balcony, circa 2012

Stop being dicks to each other. Happy Holidays!

Be the light you want to see in the world.

Thanks for the gift, Ann.

Long-haired freaky people need not apply

While I was writing something else, I somehow remembered something, so I’m leaving it below.

Fuck Tinder and all the dating apps. They are not made to make you meet people, they’re made to line up the pockets of greedy corporate execs who are taking advantage of lonely people with false promises and psychologist-researched gamification techniques.

Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and all the others are the same. Obedience and loyalty is not friendship. Corporations only want your money.

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3.

This means basically enabling DRM for websites. If Edge jumps on this bandwagon, the Internet as we know it will cease to exist. I’ve already written about this and people everywhere on the Internet wrote about how this is deceitful and harmful to privacy, but cash is king.

Thankfully, my website is made for people, not for robots and I will never enforce shit like this, so you won’t have the need to use any kind of ad blocker or tracking blocker. (But it’s fine and encouraged if you don’t trust me and keep it on the safe side)

The Internet is not owned by the collective mind, but by the big corporations. And they’re hand-in-hand with the control organisms that should prevent this kind of monopolistic behaviour and protect the users. But, once again, cash is king.

Fuck Google.
