- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
I know it’s bad to say but MS office is a real barrier. That and done other compatibility issues with Windows apps made me abandon Ubuntu for Windows after several months where I otherwise loved it.

Comparing proton with Microsoft like this is a joke.

Realistic human skin? Realistic robot skin?
- Comment on Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack 4 months ago:
Laziest common response to things like this. People still use Windows? People still use cars? WordPress is insanely popular and there’s no indication that’s going to change. Not even after you’ve chosem to signal to all of us here that you don’t use it. Good for you, though!
- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 4 months ago:
Tesla model 3 doors do not lock immediately every time they shut. But if you use your cell phone as a key, the default behavior is that they are locked if you walk away with the phone a few yards.
- Comment on OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content 4 months ago:
Novice web site owner/coder here: wondering if I can block them somehow via IP address in addition to robots.txt. Server firewall rule? Remember, I said I was a novice…

- Comment on Pocket 386 is a mini laptop for retro computing with support for DOS and Windows 95 - Liliputing 4 months ago:
Realistically, what can you use this for that’s worthwhile?
Cool looking device though.
- Comment on Nabiha Syed will join the Mozilla Foundation as [their] next Executive Director 5 months ago:
I mean, what are you really asking? For her to do something? It’s an announcement posting for a new position she has started, setting out who she is for people. So negative.
- Comment on X rolls out a revamped version of its Communities feature, which lets users network around topics of interest, including improved discovery tools and search 5 months ago:
Regretfully, tens of millions of users who don’t fall into those categories

Do the top executives also sit randomly with other colleagues?
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 6 months ago:
So basically: both sides are as bad as each other and anyway probably it’s all bad anyway?
Even if true that both sides are heavily invested in oil, both sides are not objectively equal on decisions to expand vs limit oil exploration rights, and both sides are not the same in pushing for more electric and less gas, and in improving vs reversing fuel efficiency standards, etc etc
- Comment on They filled the relaxation room with spare patient mattresses so we slept on them. 7 months ago:

- Comment on What web services do you subscribe to? 7 months ago:
I’ve been using sync.com for a couple of years now for my large music files storage and playback. Thinking of going all in on the unlimited plan to add on all my family files. Curious what your experience is with delayed syncing. Occasionally I find something just doesn’t sync to the cloud and I have to play about with PC on/off, connect to Mobile hotspot, clear cache etc to get it to work. Makes me wonder if that’s happening with files where I don’t realize it until it’s too late.
Basically, how robust is it for you?
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
The concern is who gets to draw the line. Will it be drawn when the Texas AG seeks viewers of a YouTube video about abortion? Once the gates are open, who can really say.

The biggest driver of inflation was energy prices.
- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 8 months ago:
Samsung has this option, called Battery Protect I think. There’s also the Accubattery app which will set an alarm to go off once it reaches 80 pct. I’m with you though, unless the phone itself shuts off charging, it’s too much to manage even with an alarm.
- Comment on Samsung’s $1,300 phone might someday have fees for AI usage 9 months ago:
Which means you can opt out of the AI features. Seems like a positive, so long as the device isn’t otherwise downgraded.
- Comment on Former Call of Duty and Blizzard Devs Speak Out Against Bobby Kotick; States He Made Games Worse 10 months ago:
I mean, sure, but that guy did more than almost anyone would be prepared to do (or did). So I give them respect for that, and don’t also demand they should have taken another step that I would have liked them to.
- Comment on Supreme Court chief justice warns of dangers of AI in judicial work, suggests it is “always a bad idea” to cite non-existent court cases 10 months ago:
Cool, just like the majority on SCOTUS has done in the last year. Made up doctrines, faked originalism. All without the aid of AI!
- Comment on Former Call of Duty and Blizzard Devs Speak Out Against Bobby Kotick; States He Made Games Worse 10 months ago:
The first quoted person in the article says they said they spoke up at a company meeting in front of him and asked him to resign.

- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free 10 months ago:
It will be like the Netflix exodus, the reddit exodus, etc. They’ll make more money. The best you can do is be true to yourself and not participate if you don’t want to.
