just looking around for now
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 5 months ago:
yup, noticed that revanced wasn’t working a week ago.
went into revanced manager, patched the recommended version, installed gmscore, done.
suck it youtube, i’m not paying a subscription to watch low effort vtuber edits.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
fully agree, both have flaws and advantages. but both are better than phillips.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
until someone tries to use a phillips bit on a pozidriv screw.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
the sizes are definetley hard to figure out, but the “if it wiggles, it’s too small” rule applies to torx as well.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
phillips doesn’t scale any better. i’m actually glad whenever i see torx on small devices instead.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
pozidriv is pretty cool, but annoying to use since people confuse it with phillips all the time so you end up with a lot of stripped screws.
torx is the way to go. their sizing is odd, but it transfers torque well and is wear-resistant.
- Comment on Whoops 5 months ago:
torx 4 life
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 5 months ago:
they really are trying to fuck themselves over, aren’t they?
i’m gonna switch as soon as game devs realize linux needs anticheat support.
and i know a lot of people who don’t care what operating system they run as long as they can use their web browser on it.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 5 months ago:
recently reinstalled win10 pro, located in europe using a local account.
haven’t seen any yet.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 5 months ago:
FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.
but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.
- Comment on A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions 6 months ago:
*Gewölbe
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 6 months ago:
like the US military. most of their mission critical stuff has been running for 20 years that way.
if only there were an operating system that could update without shutting down.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 7 months ago:
i carry an emergemcy audio adpater ony keychain now, thanks fairphone.
also, two of the 4 audio adapters i have are starting to break down, forcing me to buy new ones. real sustainable you guys
and yes, the one fairphone sells is one of the broken ones.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 7 months ago:
they started manufacturing a specific model in the EU, though much more expensive.
- Comment on Backdoors that let cops decrypt messages violate human rights, EU court says 7 months ago:
beyerdynamic headphones are made in germany, highly recommend.
- Comment on Services to host on a retired laptop? 7 months ago:
If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 7 months ago:
for laptops, linux is king. but many use cases still don’t work yet.
and since a desktop needs to be able to do so much more, it’s going to be a long-ass time before i can switch.
already learning to use it though, so the switch will be as smooth as possible.
- Comment on Pornstars: "we agree" 7 months ago:
some porn uses insane simulation physics which are rarely used anywhere else, and i fucking love it.
- Comment on Pornstars: "we agree" 7 months ago:
if it isn’t crunched like many anime are.
- Comment on Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future. 7 months ago:
sure, i would love universal seperate bike lanes on roads here in germany. the fahrradschutzstreifen seems really unsafe.
i have no problem with people wanting to save money and trying to be as ecological as possible by using public transport and riding their bike.
but it feels like i’m being attacked for driving a small, comfortable, fuel efficient car. i understand why people living in city centres got used to cars not being around, but you don’t solve climate crises by screaming “ban cars!” from every rooftop. that’s not gonna make people want to engage, because so many people like driving cars.
- Comment on Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future. 7 months ago:
i would like to say Akio Toyoda does things very differently, and i love him for it.
this is the guy that made the GR yaris, the GR Supra and the 86 line possible. not all of them great cars, but a good start after 20 years of FWD corollas.
- Comment on Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future. 7 months ago:
self driving cars would basically be more comfortable and also more expensive public transport.
i for one like to control when i go where at what speed, at which ihterior temperature, at a great increase in comfort, and with a gold deal more privacy and in a vehicle i own.
a coexistence of public and private transport to fit everyone’s needs and demands would be ideal, but another culture war seems likelier.
- Comment on Dude, where’s my self-driving car? The many, many missed deadlines for a fully autonomous vehicular future. 7 months ago:
meanwhile actual human drivers continue to get worse at driving, partially caused by the many driving “assistants” which won’t stop making seemingly random noises. while also enabling the driver to look at their phone while completely ignoring traffic “because they have lane keeping and distance control”
cars around me have my full attention, because my car doesn’t interfere wuth my ability to drive. (2002 yaris btw)
rant over, sorry. i just really hate modern cars.
- Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off 7 months ago:
how are they supposed to keep up with microsoft with an open messaging standard? can’t miss out on being the most valuable company at more than 3 trillion dollars…

- Comment on Samsung purposely knives customer's TV to weasel out of repair 8 months ago:
Samsung stuff is horrible anyways, my Galaxy watch 4 wouldn’t stop acting up, and half the features are not available on stock android or blocked in my region.
i have two odyssey G5 displays, one of them has a dying backlight and i can’t find spare parts for the life of me. i didn’t even try the support line, since i don’t have warranty and they would’ve told me to pound sand anyways.
never again, samsung is dead to me.
