- Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day. 1 day ago:
Never had this problem with YouTube’s algorithm. If anything, it offers 20 more videos from the same channel after I watch just one.
Are you using the options where you tell it you don’t like this video/don’t recommend this channel/thumbs down the video? There are like three different ways to tell YouTube you’re not interested.
- Comment on With ‘AI slop’ distorting our reality, the world is sleepwalking into disaster 3 days ago:
Still waiting on an enterprising social network to start detecting photoshopped and AI-generated images, and badging them as such. If AI can generate this slop, surely it can be used to detect it.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 3 days ago:
Disrespectful is telling people that didn’t like the show that they must not have gotten enough hugs from their father.

Saru and the backstory about his planet was the best part of Discovery.

Did you see the photo attached to the story? It pretty much validates Archangel’s comment.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 6 days ago:
I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.
Something will have to be done as these platforms become more popular to cut down on fraud and disinformation. You don’t want people impersonating other people or organizations, or companies. Even if Bluesky starts federating to other platforms, just knowing that they have a blue sky blue check would be an improvement if you could display that check on other clients like mastodon posts.
ICANN has already made a mess of domain names so I don’t know if relying on the domain is enough. People are using non-Roman characters to trick people into thinking a website domain is the real thing. Others are buying up all these random domains so you get things like medicare.net and medicare.org and medicare.com etc etc.
I dunno what the answer is. Just rambling out loud in frustration.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 6 days ago:
I don’t see anything controversial in the article. Did I miss something? Just looks like a way to make sure the public figures and companies you are communicating with are who they say they are.
- Comment on The Government Has Already Won the Meta Case 1 week ago:
The FTC is the organization that approved these mergers in the first place.
- Comment on Temu shut off Google Shopping ads in the US on April 9; its App Store app ranking then plummeted from around third or fourth place to 58th in three days 1 week ago:
I thought “google shopping ads” were those “click here to purchase from…” ads that show up when you search for something like a t-shirt, or a vacuum. Not ads for the app.
- Comment on Temu shut off Google Shopping ads in the US on April 9; its App Store app ranking then plummeted from around third or fourth place to 58th in three days 1 week ago:
So are they insinuating that Google App Store “popularity” ranking is actually paid product placement?
- Comment on China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense 1 week ago:
I believe Australia also has a nice stash of them. I do wonder if part of the reason everyone is eyeing Greenland for similar reasons.
- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 1 week ago:
Don’t some system updates require a reboot as well? Would be nice if this allied updates as part of this cycling.
- Comment on Hungary passes constitutional amendment to ban LGBTQ+ public events, seen as a major blow to rights 1 week ago:
Hungry really seems like a blight on the EU. Is this a temporary thing or is it only gonna get worse? Is Hungary going to “Brexit” the EU at some point?
- Comment on NATO says it will start using Palantir's Maven Smart System, which uses AI to provide “commanders with a secure, common operational capability” 1 week ago:
Hey, remember the W.O.P.R. In WarGames? What could possibly go wrong.

Hey, remember Vine?
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
From your link: “not all Tesla patents are open source.”
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
There’s nothing stopping Dorsey from releasing all of his IP under a public license. Same with Elon who jumped on this bandwagon.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s xAI allegedly uses 'illegal' generators to power Colossus supercomputer facility 1 week ago:
Doesn’t this idiot own a company that makes solar panels and back up batteries? 🙄
- Comment on FTC Heads To Trial To Break Up Meta: What You Need To Know. 1 week ago:
So, let’s say they split up Meta. Does it become six different companies? Or do people like Elon and Bezos to get to pick over the remains? Hopefully the former and not the latter. I’m still pissed They let Meta buy Instagram and WhatsApp in the first place.
- Comment on Meta whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams says company targeted ads at teens based on their ‘emotional state’ 2 weeks ago:
Stop de-regulating everything. Guardrails were put there for a reason.
- Comment on Every time you eat, you're trusting many strangers to not have tampered with your food 2 weeks ago:
In that case, you’re trusting that the soil and water aren’t contaminated.

At this point I’m fine with someone who isn’t terrible.

Maybe Dr Wily is based on Ken Paxton.
- Comment on Canada to counter ‘unjustified’ US tariffs with 25% taxes on US cars, says Carney 3 weeks ago:
Japanese and Korean cars are often assembled in the US. Some are built elsewhere. I’m guessing you’ll be able to spot which ones by then becoming suddenly unaffordable in Canada?
- Comment on Canada to counter ‘unjustified’ US tariffs with 25% taxes on US cars, says Carney 3 weeks ago:
Somewhere will Canada get its vehicles from? Stellantis Canada just shut down their plants in Canada and Mexico. Are there other cars manufactured there? Or do they do the Chinese import thing? Do they import VWs from Europe (or other European built cars)?
It’s difficult to call cars “US made” when most of the parts and manufacturing isn’t done in the US. This is going to get tricky for everyone.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 3 weeks ago:
Pretty sure TNG and some of the ST movies mentioned weather controls. And there have been many mentions of terraforming entire planets.
So I doubt Mojave would get retconned.

Only 13%?

- Comment on Microsoft is redesigning the Windows BSOD and it might change to black 3 weeks ago:
It’s ridiculous that it doesn’t give you the option to load a support page on restart with additional info.
- Comment on Microsoft is redesigning the Windows BSOD and it might change to black 3 weeks ago:
If they’re going to redesign it, they should give the emoticon its nose back.
