twirlock··on Perceptions of musical octaves are learned, not wired in the brain
Stable simple waveforms are observably more consonant than those with many transients. Nobody would have this dumb, stubborn discussion about rhythms.

I can conceive perfectly well "of a people" who don't have a concept of all kinds of things. It doesn't mean those things don't exist. Winkyface.
twirlock··on Quora goes permanently remote-first
Reminder that quora was part of a huge data breach, yet they still, to this day, employ dark patterns that force you to make an account.

Similarly to the existence of waves and simple ratios, actually no, numbers do not have cultural origins.

So there's this thing called a wave, and waves with wavelengths that form a simple ratio interact to form periodic waveforms that are observably stable. Pulses too, actually.
twirlock··on My dream dating app has been banned by Apple
Is this really an article about how it's sexist to be skeptical of astrology? At what point are nonsense conclusions evidence per se that that the underlying worldview is nonsense?
twirlock··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
This would have been more moving five or six years ago. Now though, after years of petulant "deal with it" politics from racists on the left, cry me a river.
twirlock··on Simjacker – Next Generation Spying over Mobile
You shadowbanned me, which is unethical, rude and it should be reserved for spammers. I don't like you anymore, and I will remember that you shadowbanned me when deciding how to comport myself on my real account in the future. I will also be making a point of commenting more frequently to ensure that your shadowban has completely backfired. You are bad at your role, you moderate with a PR motive, and you treat users poorly. Fuck you, asshole.
twirlock··on Fewer Than Half of Google Searches Now Result in a Click
Google doesn't search for what you ask anymore. It tells you what to search for based on a prompt. Alphabet is the most oppressive entity in the history of the known universe.
twirlock··on Being basic as a virtue
I completely agree, but I can't help but note this only sounds like a radical concept in the context of West coast liberals pretending their snobbiness is erudition.
twirlock··on Consumers Are Becoming Wise to Your Nudge
Like three decades later, it's no longer considered a conspiracy theory to think marketing exists. We consumers really wised up.
twirlock··on Audit suggests Google favors a small number of major news outlets
How about as general rule of thumb, I tell search engines what to search for instead of the other way around?
twirlock··on Google terminated our business via our Google Play Developer Account
We should all start doing everything we can to economically harm google and reduce their power.
