- Comment on Someone has created a Gmail clone where you can browse Jeffrey Epstein's emails 2 days ago:
These emails were released before the vote on ‘the rest of it’.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
As soon as the first account they made stops working, they would drop the fediverse entirely And loudly complain how terrible it is. I think this would actively reduce adoption.

Similarly: The one with the bear
- Comment on We have one at home 3 days ago:
I was going to go for “Ouya trying to fool with this post?”
- Comment on It's your fault my laptop knows where I am 4 days ago:
I actually had to do that with my phone’s hotspot name because I used to play Pokemon Go on a tablet which was Wi-Fi tethered to the phone. Before I renamed it to opt out, the game would randomly jump me to wherever the network had last been scanned any time the tablet’s GPS got too flaky.

This short is missing the best line, which is at the end of the full video.
- Comment on When synthetic dyes became available, people treated them a bit like we treated blue LEDs 10 years ago 1 week ago:
They are still used where not needed and Way too bright usually. I have more than once used precisely placed electrical tape to reduce them down to a pinhole or slit.
- Comment on Servo: A new, independent Web Browser Engine (the core of a web browser) written in Rust. 1 week ago:
When I saw the headline I was thinking it’s hardly new, being from 2012, but they covered and explained that well. I’m glad progress is accelerating.
- Comment on What if ALL the sun’s power was focused in one place? 1 week ago:
And soon after, every other spot. (But still not as hot as the first spot)
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 3 weeks ago:
Oh! I’ve had no real problems with my LG.
The made ice occasionally gets stuck and has to be knocked loose, but that’s no big deal - not like the Samsung freezing the whole mechanism into a huge block that prevents accessing it to clear it out.
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 3 weeks ago:
Aww. Modern tech is too ‘smart’ for its own good.
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 3 weeks ago:
If it’s on when you unplug it, does it go back on when plugged in? If so then turn off its own timer and just use a regular appliance timer.

The first sentence had me thinking this was a ‘Gen-Z doesn’t know PCs’ thing.
It got so much better.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried it, but yeah, I assume multiple cameras and either composite or just letting you switch between them.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, me too. But I’m not good at it.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 3 weeks ago:
One thing I heard of that would be handy is cameras in the fridge so while out shopping you can check if you already have stuff or how much is left (depending on the container)
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 3 weeks ago:
Since it’s a Samsung ice dispenser, that’s a recurring charge. (Service calls.)
(Seriously though, I’ll never buy another Samsung appliance after my experience with that fridge’s ice dispenser)
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
“People” is one specific person. Sxan or something.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 4 weeks ago:
I mostly agree, but there’s a few holes in that chart:
My favorite vegetables are salt and ice.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 4 weeks ago:
… Is it not?
Being a grain (or even specifically a “Cereal grain”) doesn’t exclude it, see corn.
- Comment on Mom they're fighting again 4 weeks ago:
I guess I assumed ‘sprout’ meant directly out of the ground instead of a “Brussels tree”.
I don’t recognize a few of the other ones.
- Comment on Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border? 1 month ago:
At some point wasn’t it actual stone walls around cities, with guards at the gates checking people?
- Comment on Flashbacks scenes in Movies/TV should be depicted as being more blurry than present scenes, since most people can't actually remember a past event that accurately. 1 month ago:
… But memories don’t in any way feel like the present moment? That’s universal, right?
Dreams either for that matter, but I somehow fail to care or even notice most of the time while dreaming.
- Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990? 1 month ago:
Tag.
- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 1 month ago:
Do you really think Meta would ignore the opportunity to both be the default option And have justification to read users’ messages?
- Comment on Which is your song, chat? 1 month ago:
Obviously “Cry, bark, groan”.
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 1 month ago:
That’s effectively just the bottom track, where an uncountable number of people (literally) will die as soon as the train reaches position (0.
- Comment on Do all American stores have greeters? 1 month ago:
No. A typical “supermarket” (grocery + clothes, housewares, etc.) does not, nor do smaller stores that are mostly just grocery. Walmart is an exception.
Costco has people who could be called greeters, but they are just checking that you, or someone you are with, has a paid membership. Some stores have security guards at the entrances, but that’s a different thing.
