Not inherently, but I’ve been in communities where everyone is weirdly positive in the name of being “non-toxic” and it resulted in people generally not voicing dissenting opinions, which is pretty similar to an echo chamber.

I no longer frequent those places because it all felt a bit artificially happy like a kids TV show.

Just to be “that guy”, oriental isn’t a bad word in British English. It’s used very commonly in the names of Cantonese restaurants for example. It’s less commonly used to describe people, but if you did need to specify that the person was east-asian, it wouldn’t raise any eyebrows.

Why do you care? Why does anyone care? You understand what the person means, that’s the most important thing when communicating. Grammar on the internet is so unimportant, even people who know the difference might not care enough to coerce autocorrect into choosing the right one.

Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.

Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

Loving the malicious compliance on display from the Reddit mods.

Honestly, I reckon Reddit will eventually install mods that will restore the status quo and it’ll probably be fine after. But this moment in history is so cool to watch, with massive group of internet users saying a collective, prolonged fuck you to the man. Love it.
