I can't believe I finally closed this issue.
I've been thinking about this since I read it. I'm about to make this my entire personality

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I mean, at some point, maybe the problem is that we constantly exist in a context where cynicism is a normal, healthy, natural reaction to what we're seeing 🤣 🤣 😭
@evan I use the social features of Steam, but really only with people I know from other places.

I’ve been insured for decades, so I admit to being oblivious to basic charges. But due to a lapse in current coverage, I got an estimate for what my upcoming 1st urology (office consultation) would cost w/o ins: $1,675. That’s insane.
Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found.
More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022.

@javahippie das ist ein echt großer Sprung von 270°C.
@grimalkina This certainly seems to align with my anecdotal experience. I sometimes wonder if people may adopt a cynical posture in order to seem more knowledgeable to peers (sort of to exploit this perception that cynicism correlates to expertise, though maybe not consciously).
In any case, cynicism coupled with ignorance frustrates me greatly, because it often stands in the way of making things better; people are convinced, without evidence, that things can't get better and it's a waste of time to try. I think this is at work in a lot of spheres, including both tech and politics.
@internic I believe they make that kind of argument in the paper
@javahippie Zeit für Töpferbrennarbeiten? 🙈😁

@mhoye I take issue with that "basically mysql" statement.
@tito_swineflu Enh, if you know what mongodb is at all you know it’s not a distinction that matters that much.
I--
Well, you'd certainly score big with that, considering how fanfiction is also a form of rebellion against oppression.
Though omegaverse doesn't work for me, as it feels mostly misogynist to me (being a ♀️)
Cool stuff going into the public domain in 2026:
@scalzi I love how each year's round of public domain properties has become like a second Christmas.
MongoDB exploit in the wild, every version going back a decade.
@mhoye I take issue with that "basically mysql" statement.
