It's the name of the character. The arch nemesis of Father Ted in the series by the same name.

The quickest way to have me lose all interest in any new, potentially neat, tech is having to visit their discord for anything from documentation to discussion.

When my dad gets drunk at night he shares porn on Facebook

If you're logged into a social media account and encounter a "share on said social media" button, this is dutifully logged and provides metrics of the types of groups encountering said button.
It's not for sharing, it's for metrics about what kind of people view the site/article/top ten list/hardcore porn. Targeted advertisement is cash money.

July is disability pride month!
I get the point you're trying to make, but as someone with multiple disabilities, both mental and physical, I can't help but feel an icky taste in my mouth after saying "disability pride". As if my brain damage, anxiety or cerebral palsy, to mention a few, is something to be proud of, rather than something to work on overcoming, in order to live my best life.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities, not acknowledge ones limitations and be comfortable with that, but to have them as an object of pride seems counter productive at best.

Learning on the job
Not only the self checkout. I usually end up behind someone who's new to the concept of exchanging goods for legal tender and needs an introduction to it.
This is of course after they have told the story about why they're in the store, starting with the new testament and moving on from there...
I spend a lot of time thinking about how it's not my place to judge these people, but I think very few of them would manage to sit the right way on the toilet without outside assistance.

YSK Lemvotes.org will show you votes on any post, comment, or by user, for anything on the fediverse
I get really surprised going through my up- and downvotes. Seems sausage fingers and mobile app leads to interesting votes sprinkled in with the ones I've actually voted for.
Pretty neat layer of obfuscation, though I can't imagine being interesting or infuriating enough for anyone to go through my voting history.
If it were to happen, I hope it's because of some shitpost of epic proportions.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should
Ah, the classic "two cocks in the same canoe". A workaround is using bigger sausages.

Reject DRM embrace GOG
Wouldn't Steam, with TF2, be the most costumer oriented?
On being customer oriented on the other hand, Steam could use some improvement.

Reddit sues Perplexity for allegedly ripping its content to feed AI
I could give a well thought out comment about AI, scraping the web, giving your end users a worse experience in order to copyright their content for your own benefit, or any number of subjects.
However, all I can muster is this:

Trump says US will start talks with China on TikTok deal this week
By talks, does he mean talks, or does he mean posting on truth social while China remains silent before he again extends the deadline, simultaneously calling himself a great negotiator and China impossible to reason with?
