- Comment on CCleaner says hackers stole users' personal data during MOVEit mass-hack | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
Ohhh thank you for suggesting these, I had been considering swapping for CCleaner for weeks now but didn’t know of a good alternative.
- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 8 months ago:
Thanks capitalism!!
/sarcasm.
- Comment on Blue-Checked, ‘Verified’ Users on X Produce 74 Percent of the Platform’s Most Viral False or Unsubstantiated Claims Relating to the Israel-Hamas War 8 months ago:
TikTok has filled that void, for now.
- Comment on Here comes another Netflix price hike 8 months ago:
< Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99
That’s insane. The only way those price hikes could possibly be justified and if the majority of movie/show creators had their catalogues available on Netflix. But they don’t because everyone and their mother wants their own fucking streaming service, ruining for viewers entirely.
No thanks. I got a library card and access to my entire county’s book/audio-book/movie/show catalogue for free through Libby and Hoopa.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 8 months ago:
Not for me anymore.
- Comment on Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11 8 months ago:
I’m a gamer, so that isn’t a viable option for me. I know that it’s starting to get better thanks to the Steamdeck but it has a long way to go.
- Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple 8 months ago:
Such a shame. =(
- Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple 8 months ago:
Then I look forward to not getting texts from anyone. =)
- Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple 8 months ago:
No reason to keep either on since they drain the battery even when not actively browsing the net. And if your LTE can’t find a tower to connect, it keeps trying to connect, draining the battery significantly. This was pretty bad for me a couple years ago; not so much anymore since I live in a city now but I still keep both off, mostly habit but also because I like having my battery above 90% while it’s sitting idle.
When I’m at home and want to use the net on my phone, I turn WiFi on, then off once done. When I’m outside the home and need the internet, I turn LTE on and then turn it back off once I’m done.
- Comment on Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11 8 months ago:
My pc isn’t compatible with Win11 and since I’m poor, I’m not getting a new one anytime soon.
Besides, Win10 is great.
- Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple 8 months ago:
My only issue with RCS is that it requires that either LTE or wifi be on. I personally keep those off unless I want to actively use the internet. Not a big deal, minor annoyance though.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 8 months ago:
Never heard of it.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 8 months ago:
That’s odd. Were you using other YouTube add-ons?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Fuck Hamas as well. 😉
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Peace can only be achieved once one side has been destroyed, for the simple fact that neither can tolerate the others existence.
I wish peace was a viable option, but it just isn’t.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 8 months ago:
Nah I prefer Libretube.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 8 months ago:
If you’re on PC use Firefox with uBlock Origin.
For Android, Im personally using Libretube but using mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin also works.
- Comment on Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey 8 months ago:
Only if it’s 100% synth art. What about partial? We don’t know.
- Comment on Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey 8 months ago:
Why? A lot of artists have adopted AI and use it as just another tool.

I will wait regardless.

Ah, I see your a r/patientgamers fan too =)
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
Yea, it’s maddening.
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
Sadly not my kind of game, but thank you!
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
Yea BG3 is amazing, but I still waited at least a couple of weeks before touching it.
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 9 months ago:
WM1AM2
The price alone makes that a non-start for me, but thank you for the recommendation nonetheless!
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 9 months ago:
Gods I loved my Zune.
If I could find a digital audio player like the Zune but with support for Tidal I’d be so happy.
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
I’ll play in a year after most of the bug and performance issues are fixed. Which seems like my typical response to any major game release these days; just wait a few months at first.
