This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of posts that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

So Sony bought the competition, then shut down their own offering...

I understand this sucks from an accessibility perspective, but also, how the FUCK is this not anti competitive?

How is this not a contractual violation? If you buy a company, you take on their contracts. You don't get to throw them out the window.

actually, you typically do. the company you made the contract with doesn't exist anymore.

also a 'forever' contract for 'cloud' (someone else's computer) services is only as good as that other person's computer stays on. anyone who thought that meant more than a few years, or that it would mean after the company stopped existing deserves whatever they get.

I can't wait to tell the big bank that bought the smaller bank holding my mortgage that I don't need to pay them back because the contract is void.
