- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 14 hours ago:
PiHole and Plex? Plex will help generate need for a NAS. It worked for me.
- Comment on You must tell me, please! 1 week ago:
What a fucking zero.
- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 1 week ago:
They’re great devices.
Recently, my partner’s 18yo nephew asked her if she had any iPods (she doesn’t). I took a photo of the eight or so different models that I still have in storage and sent it to him just to gloat. I’m a monster.

Go back to bed. You’ve already won. The day can’t possibly get any better from here.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
C’mon now. You’re not nearly rich or influential enough to get away with that and you know it. Rules are for regular people, not the rich or mighty. Sheesh.

- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 1 week ago:
It’s finally the year of Desktop Linux, about fifteen (or more) years after people thought it would happen. I’m happy for all the nerds who are finally vindicated. (I like Linux, but I’m an Apple guy.)
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 1 week ago:
I’m still pretty pissed off about that. It’s when I learned that a huge number of my fellow citizens are really stupid. Covid was when I learned that they’re also hateful pieces of shit.
Freedom fries, you guys. Woohoo.
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 1 week ago:
Fuck that. It was predicted a full year before. This is bullshit. Stop reading the NYT. They lied about the attack on Oct 7 (claimed sex crimes that didn’t happen) and never made a retraction. I cancelled my subscription to them and to the Washington Post (cause Bezos killed an opinion piece endorsing Biden, who I voted for because fuck Trump, but Biden was a terrible candidate).
Listen to the audio-book, “Manufacturing Consent,” from Noam Chomsky. Unfortunately, he’s in the Epstein docs, so I can’t recommend him otherwise. Oh well. All these people are monsters.

You would have really liked the comedian we saw last night. Epstein files were the main topic. Sammy Obeid. Good stuff.
- Comment on Long live the king 1 week ago:
Oh, that was a good laugh.
- Comment on 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI 1 week ago:
That was my reaction when I read about them pulling copilot and such. I think it’s probably the reaction of every software nerd.
- Comment on A new quest appears... 1 week ago:
I go to sleep drunk a lot. I forget to turn off lights. My partner calls me out for it. I have not shame.

- Comment on Can't block this 1 week ago:
I’ve never been ashamed of or regretted licking ass.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It seems like we’re at a real turning point for Linux adoption. I’m an Apple nerd, but I love seeing people switch to Linux and write about what a (mostly) positive experience it is. Cheers to my fellow nerds getting off the screaming pile of garbage MS if forcing on people who just want a computer that works.

- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 3 weeks ago:
Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.
Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I’m certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).
- Comment on What a great idea 4 weeks ago:
Can we also make people who still pay for things at a store with a check go to the bad one? It was before the pan, but I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when a lady pulled out her checkbook in front of me at the checkout line. Gtf outta here.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 4 weeks ago:
Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.
- Comment on X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 4 weeks ago:
Cowards.
- Comment on Still trying to figure it out... 5 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s exactly why we had to stop. She pounced when we weren’t playing and scratched my eye. Luckily, no permanent damage. (I was lying down when she got me.)
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 5 weeks ago:
“What else can we do that’s hostile to our customers?”
The next move will be bringing back Clippy and then a full-screen ad that you have to dismiss every ten seconds.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. I’ve been doing it for so long (because otherwise my cats would splash the water) that I find it gross when people leave them open to flush.
- Comment on What that steel woolussy do? 5 weeks ago:
Every man who posts the meme should have to use this.

- Comment on Still trying to figure it out... 5 weeks ago:
I used to wrestle with one of my kitties and had to stop because it went from cute to painful (for me). She absolutely thought she could kill me.
- Comment on Tom's Hardware now hijacks the back button. 5 weeks ago:
Worked on my Mac. Might be because I have the StopTheMadness extension. It specifically tries to prevent such bullshit.
- Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law 1 month ago:
Oh, that’s interesting. My father had our lineage researched and learned that an ancestor took the side of the British during the USA revolutionary war. He had to move to Canada after the colonies won their independence due to a campaign of harassment in which his barn was burned down.
The most interesting thing about it before now was that someone in my family history had supported the other team. Now it might have actual bearing on my life instead of just being a fun story.
- Comment on get out of my head 1 month ago:
And just like that, I found out that the scar is still fresh.
