- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 6 days ago:
I think all people that see that ads need to pickup a phone and call them asking stupid questions and waste their time, they clearly ask you to do that.
- Comment on Substack’s “Nazi problem” won’t go away after push notification apology 2 weeks ago:
Hence the issue we should target and fight is the closed/secret algorithm not only focus on the “Nazi incident”. But almost non is talking about it.
- Comment on Substack’s “Nazi problem” won’t go away after push notification apology 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a question what did they send but why. Is it just more automated marketing bullshit that is trying to guess what people might like and revomend shit to people? At least the post suggests that.
The whole notion on tracking people interests to promote shit should be banned in the first place IMHO. It only leads to promote shit while filling greedy people pockets.
Recommendations should always be personal like if you Like/subscibe to person X then it could suggest stuff that X thinks if should recommend and it should clearly say “X recommends:” so you know who recommends what, both that you can stop follow people that sold themselfs to highest bidder or have interests not alight with you.
Having automated magic recommendations is always a recipe for disaster (example above) and abuse by the algorithm owner.

Dropbox had an password manager? 🫣
- Comment on Substack’s “Nazi problem” won’t go away after push notification apology 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use substack, didn’t even know it existed.
But what did they do exactly? Because this post is so nazi-filled that I think I’m missing the overall picture.
Did they just have an error and send push notifications of unrequested content to people or they started to spam random people with “random” content? Or maybe they did spam for a while now but now the content didn’t get curated enough ?

The arguments that the sound is to quiet, is valid but ofc not something that cant be fix/changed, they can always put an display/light to indicate stuff.

- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 24] 2 months ago:
It might be unpopular, but somehow from current season I like the underground healer the most. Somehow it gives me the good/happy vibes that I can watch it over and over again. (Even if some animations are very bad)
- Comment on Australians may soon be able to download iPhone apps from outside the Apple Store under federal proposal. Apple opposes the plan. 2 months ago:
The title at least dont say anything new AFAIK. Because you could already download from external sources but those apps still needed to be signed by apple. But maybe they changed?
- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 2 months ago:
ambitious plan
Good, good, but I guess it is only a plan to negotiate for lower prices.
But if they actually deliver without going back… 😍
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 3 months ago:
On top od that it takes more vertical space so more % of the video is covered by controls that are not that transparent so the whole control block is covering it in full comparing to previous where only the actual icons and text did cover the video with the gradient to help make it visible if video is the same color.
But one way or another I avoid yt so it doesnt really affect me.

But most likely they use all of those recordings accidental or not to serve you targeted ads, like Google does.

- Comment on Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community 7 months ago:
It sounds like jest plain simple website/forum BUT with specific protocol making it more discoverable/searchable?
Allowing to post comments anonymously… sound like a bad idea in theong run, but who know, make me eat my words.
- Comment on The Mozilla Graveyard 10 months ago:
True, if you have extra money, …
It just ‘feel’ bad/wrong like now Google has a brand that they will quickly kill any project they start.
- Comment on The Mozilla Graveyard 10 months ago:
If you create a good product the market will pick it up, throwing cash at random projects and killing it when it doesn’t make huge profit sounds wasteful.
- Comment on The Mozilla Graveyard 10 months ago:
You mean they throw a lot of money at the wall hoping that something will stick?
