What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

sbv,

Mediocre is too kind. The Mario movie was bad.

I took my kids. They kind of enjoyed it, but forgot about it almost immediately.

sbv,

They’re bad. Every one of them.

sbv,

The box office agrees with you.

sbv,

I was like “this Lemmite gets it,” until I got to the Interstellar part.

But I’m glad we have common ground on the shit show that is Inception. It felt incredibly long. I don’t know if it was because I was bored, or if it’s genuinely six hours long.

sbv,

programming. It’s just a really big IDE.

sbv,

Tab Wrangler

sbv,

I use a browser extension that closes the least recently used tab after 15 minutes. It stops closing when it reaches five for the current window.

I don’t think I’m missing anything.

sbv,

That would be amazing

The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece (unityd.org)

sbv,

That’s good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.

sbv,

I’ve heard this called the jar method.

I have accounts for travel, house expenses, utility bills, groceries, car expenses, and fun money. Each of them gets part of my paycheck. Every couple of months I take a look to see if things are getting out of whack.

The best part is that I can be an idiot and overspend with the fun money account. If I spend it all, there’s absolutely no repercussions, since everything important is already safely in different accounts.

Also, when car expenses (or vacations) roll around, I already have money put aside for it.

sbv,

wearing underwear complicates defecation

sbv,

Pretty much this. I get the “you don’t know what the bad guys will criminalize next” argument, but I have a hard time seeing it, when it comes to my browsing patterns.

sbv,

Thank you for your rigor.

sbv,

Am computer scientist. How to lab coat?

sbv,

I enjoy sh.itjust.works. I’m not convinced the instance makes a big difference, but I feel like this one is fine.

sbv,

you’re fantastic

sbv,

Her name is Blinky

sbv,

Gift certificates. 🥲

sbv,

Because being user-friendly is way, way, way more important than things like privacy, not being bombarded by ads,

People gravitate to the technology that they can use.

I live in a small town. Every business and service has a Facebook group because it’s usable. A couple of stalwarts maintain web pages but they’re full of inaccurate information because they’re too hard to update. The Facebook groups, on the other hand, are constantly up-to-date, and the owners are quick to respond to any comment on them.

That’s before you get to network effects. Everyone in the town uses Facebook. So when kids ask for a messaging or social media account, they ask for a Facebook product so they can talk to their friends and family.

It’s incredibly shitty. Everyone in town would agree with your sentiment, but they bounce off competing products. The effort involved in hosting a service isn’t a higher perceived cost than the ads, privacy invasion, etc.

Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?

I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It's a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I'm doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so?...

sbv,

We have no visibility into Google’s internal processes. The developers that work on the product would probably know, but the rest of us can only guess.

sbv,

AND I WILL FUCKING MEAN IT

sbv,

AND I WILL FUCKING TELL EVERYONE HAPPY KWANZAA, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, HAPPY HANUKKAH, OR WHATEVER FUCKING GREETING I FEEL LIKE USING

sbv, (edited )

maybe we’ll be renditioned to the same black site

sbv,

That’s a serious life skill. Avoiding micromanaging gives you more time, makes the other person feel more empowered, and avoids conflict in your relationship. Props!

sbv,

“conscripted” is an interesting choice of words. Why’d you go with that one?
