Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse
I’m interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that’s a lot of “boards” in that list. :)

cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Google turns 25: From garage startup to global giant13·2 years agoFrom “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Science@beehaw.org•"string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard"20·2 years agoAngela is great! Love her passion and how she phrases things.
Sure the videos could usually be half as long without losing much in the way of her argument but I enjoy her personality so I don’t mind.

cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app?4·2 years agoIt used to be Relay for me as well. Other apps had neat features I wish Relay had gotten as well, but I couldn’t get away from its neat UI and UX even though I tried pretty much every third-party reddit app there was.
I’m certainly sad to leave a handful of my favorite communities behind but Reddit overall can burn down for all I care. Even before the API BS and Huffmann lying through his teeth the Reddit experience had gotten more and more annoying aside from the coziest of subreddits.
Time to move on and perhaps some of the app devs try their hand at a sleek threadiverse app with all of the QoL goodies.
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform1·2 years agoI know that I certainly believed this article to be very well crafted satire at first. Because how could it possibly so very on the nose in reality?
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•What are your favorite browser extensions?2·2 years agoYeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.
If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•What are your favorite browser extensions?1·2 years agoYeah, you’re right. They try but it’s not the same.
Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out “mostly right”.
Dark Reader isn’t perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform74·2 years agoMy goodness, so it didn’t just feel like Huffman was a discount Elon but that’s literally what he is aspiring to?
I don’t know what could be more pathetic than the MBA*hole emulating the Blood Emerald Silverspoon Kid Without Skills.Reddit is so going down the drain, the downward cycle was palpable over the last years but now they’re accelerating with Mach 3.
cthonctic@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•What are your favorite browser extensions?7·2 years agoCount this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can’t endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
Ewwww nonono, have you seen hardcore carnivores? Ew nopenopenope.
