I fucking love halloween. If this is true, it’s one of the few redeeming aspects of USA culture.

Because it’s not downloading, which is the thing every one thinks is normal. It’s different, and potentially dangerous, which your phone will remind you any time you try to do it.

Codewars is a cool leetcode-esque thing with less of the corporate dystopia sheen.

Sometimes the service freezes for me and cant be killed, requiring a restart.

For real. The main reason I switched to linux was because I was getting into progamming, and when I had to troubleshoot something on windows it was like half a dozen arcane solutions which might work, but the linux solution to the same problem was a terminal one liner. Maybe I’d feel differently if I was afraid of the terminal, but that’s one affliction I am blessedly free of.

Idk, I still think information wants to be free. If you figured it out just farting around, sophisticated malevolent actors are likely already doing similar things. Might be better to let the genie out of the bottle, so people can learn to be skeptical. Deep fakes are optimally effective when a majority still accepts the veracity of images as an article of faith.
