• Comment on You can't buy a Raspberry Pi right now:

  True, repurposing low energy systems like those is a clear win.

• Comment on Flarting Versus Harassment:

  Flarting is where you fart to assert your dominance to attract women.

• Comment on Did Elon decide to buy Twitter after US funded Ukraine bots trashed his peace proposal ? Does he want to end the war by removing propaganda ? Is he making a mistake ?:

  Buying twitter was always a mistake, but it was a mistake for him to make.

• Comment on Chinese in Yunan held at gunpoint for "Zero Covid". Scream "You gonna kill us all ?" Zero Covid means Zero, bitches:

  I'm somewhat happy that up here in Soviet Canuckistan the guy going up against Trudeau is ideologically on the side of freedom first. Wherever the right has built its framework like that, I think it'll be fine.

  But I do totally agree, I'm worried for a lot of the people who were under the wing of wokeness, because not all of them deserve the fate of the woke.

• Comment on Lefty woke 'scientists' are beginning to doubt if Pfizer actually lied to them about Vax. Thanks for raising these concerns after the people are already poisoned, morons:

  Those who erase history are doomed to repeat it.

  Thalidomide. DDT. Asbestos. Leaded gasoline. Cigarettes. All of them had massive consequences but had "the science" telling people it was harmless because it was compromised by companies making ungodly amounts of money paying for "the science" to say whatever they want it to.

  So don't erase history, and don't believe people just because they're wearing lab coats.

• Comment on UN openly admitting to manipulating google results to "own the science" and put down climate change critics:

  Switching entirely to searx without a google component hasn't negatively affected my searches, and has opened up a lot of results that google lost in the laundry.

  Problem with running services under capitalism is that if you don't run a good service, people can switch. Switch today!

• Comment on Chinese in Yunan held at gunpoint for "Zero Covid". Scream "You gonna kill us all ?" Zero Covid means Zero, bitches:

  Imagine that all the world leaders out there who claim to be the science were trying the same thing and only the people being allowed to push back prevented all of us from looking like this right now.

• Comment on Avoid Eating Seed Oils?:

  Does olive oil count?

  Because that's the only oil I ever have in the house...

• Comment on You can't buy a Raspberry Pi right now:

  A lot of people buy Raspberry Pis for projects that just need a cheap computer. To me that's a shame, because there's a lot of cheap fanless computers out there that are as good or better for the purpose of being a computer.

• Comment on Glenn Greenwald Thread on Bolsonaro/Elections:

  It's well known that polling affects outcomes. They want people to think they're voting for a winner because people don't bother voting when they think they support a loser, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

  That's why the establishment magically finds polling biased towards them.

• Comment on Kanye West in a white lives matter shirt:

  that's great and imma let you finish but ill mind of hopsin 5 is the greatest rap song of all time.

• Comment on ‘Anarchist’ Middle School English Teacher Admits He Wants to ‘Burn Down the Entire System’ After Previously Being Exposed for ‘Woke’ Indoctrination of Students … ‘F**k’ the Parents … ‘I’m Your Parent:

  anarchist

  works for the state

  oh yah?

• Comment on Donald Trump sues CNN claiming defamation, seeks $475M:

  "Trump, a Republican, claims[...]"

  Oh! Was he a Republican? Guys! Did you know Trump was a Republican? I had forgotten! I thought maybe he was a Democrat, or the United Socialists of America candidate!

• Comment on USA USA USA USA:

  We have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that sitting in a chair and being blown up does not affect the progression of Alzheimer's.

• Comment on 6 yr olds really need to stop being so transphobic:

  Nooooooooooooooooooo!

• Comment on (Fc)The Huff Post is asshoe:

  Would this be the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face?

• Comment on Life comes at you fast:

  Maybe we should force him to pay for his own treatment, or fine him for every month he advocated for vaccines?

• Comment on 86 percent of women negatively judge dates who have a cracked phone screen. So bring your backup phone from 2012 without a cracked screen for interviews:

  What you said.

  I mean there's a joke in there about dating, but there's also a reality that when you're out visiting someone put your damn phone away.

• Comment on VPN Usage Surges Amid Protests, Conflict, & War In 2022:

  I've been thrilled seeing federated alternatives being viable. I've been finding I can spend more and more time on federated services happily.

  The key seems to be participating. It isn't "if you build it they will come", instead it's "the party moves with the people partying"

• Comment on VPN Usage Surges Amid Protests, Conflict, & War In 2022:

  The one sad thing is that people are still moving towards big tech, rather than using the same resources to help with something completely different.

• Comment on Tesla Bot. IMHO more important than their shitty cars. Unlike other bipedals, its untethered, arms, 10 fingers. Blows competition away:

  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the post. It's not about you being bad or anything for posting it. It's more that I see technologies like this and my immediate reaction is to temper expectations, especially when the source has a mixed track record, so that's a discussion point I feel needs to be in there.

• Comment on Feminist Canadian actress paralyses face after Vax, cries, says she would still do it again "Its what we have to do":

  Question for me is, when was this? In the very first days of the vaxx, maybe. But if it was this week then that'd be fucked up.

• Comment on PayPal to expand its speech restriction rules in November:

  Need to sue paypal. This TOS is unfit for publication.

• Comment on The U.S. Government’s Vast New Privatized Censorship Regime:

  The danger to these companies is they've unwittingly opened themselves up to massive liability by allowing the government to use them as its arm.

• Comment on Scientists tell how they can change the weather - cloud seed:

  Understanding that they're a pretty untrustworthy source, the CCP claims it's using this technology to deal with a major drought.

• Comment on An Australian power grid larger than the UK is being dismantled as remote farmers go solar:

  Considering the total incompetence I've heard of from the regulated grid in Australia, that makes a lot of sense to me. Might as well disconnect from the grid and deal with the problem on your own since otherwise you'd be paying more money on less power.

  The flipside of that, the part that they don't tell you, is how much diesel fuel will be burned in inefficient micro scale generators when the renewables can't keep up. We're going back to Edison era technology in that regard.

• Comment on Tesla Bot. IMHO more important than their shitty cars. Unlike other bipedals, its untethered, arms, 10 fingers. Blows competition away:

  As I recall, you spend a lot of time on the cutting edge developing new technologies. I'm on the opposite end. I sit there listening to salesmen trying to sell different buzzwords to me, and I've had lots of experience putting huge amounts of work in to work around all the stuff they don't tell you in the sales pitch to make the technology work, and I've seen a lot of these buzzwords fail completely taking our hard work with it until another salesman tries to sell us the same thing with a different powerpoint presentation a couple years down the line.

  Even if specific parts of a technology are revolutionary, you gotta keep your boots nailed to the ground or you'll forget that the product still needs to deliver on its promises.

  A phrase I've said often lately is: "At some point rubber meets road and someone somewhere needs to do something". It's an appeal to practicality, and a reminder that it's important to actually deliver what you say you're going to deliver.

  This isn't about blaming someone or anything of the sort, it's about understanding that you're not looking at the promises of someone who has consistently delivered on his promises, so you need to take any claims with a grain of salt until those promises are delivered.

  His companies obviously have delivered at times. SpaceX does deliver stuff to space consistently. Starlink does provide incredible high speed Internet in the remotest locations. Tesla hasn't quite hit all its targets but it has produced a small number of cars that completely changed the EV market through their presence.

  But there's boring company, there's hyperloop, there's the still not delivered cybertruck, there's the electric transport that was supposed to be cheaper than rail already as well, there's writing skills or video game worlds to your brain, There's solar shingles. There's missed deadlines and relaxed goals.

• Comment on White House expected to publish privacy-focused executive order next week:

  Sources familiar with Donald Trump's thinking have confirmed that the candy was a right wing extremist with ties to J6

• Comment on 'Libs Of TikTok' Threatens To Sue Twitter Over New Suspension:

  Lawsuit will be 230'd out of existence

• Comment on 86 percent of women negatively judge dates who have a cracked phone screen. So bring your backup phone from 2012 without a cracked screen for interviews:

  Enters date
