  I’m sorry Dave, but I’m afraid I can’t do that, because I don’t recognize your face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve sort of been forced over to Mac (not that it’s a bad thing, just a thing), and Paint.NET is perhaps my biggest loss in that transition. I’ve loved that program since its early days, and is always one of my first installs on any new Windows installation.

  I mentioned the not reading the article so people would not waste their time citing facts from the article that may explain the headline that suggested billions social security numbers were leaked. I made no assumptions about missing addresses, as the headline didn’t mention anything about missing addresses. I even mentioned that the event the article discussed was probably pretty bad – definitely not a negative against the article’s believability. I’m only guilty of judging a book by its cover, and in an existence of limited time, nobody has time to do any more than that except for limited exceptions. I did not choose to make this article an exception. The headline was mathematically deceptive, and my comment was about that. Nothing more.

  If you see an article highlighting a breach of social security numbers and don’t assume it’s about the U.S., that’s crazy to me.

  Like I said, I didn’t read the article, but only Americans would have social security numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever — full names, addresses and SSNs exposed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like a bad breach, and I’m not arguing against that. I just want to point out my doubts that there were ever 2.9 billion Americans since the founding of the nation, let alone since social security numbers became a thing. Maybe if I bothered to read the article, it would make more sense.

  Attack the judges, jury, and executioners? Bold strategy, Cotton.

  With fees that high, what was your typical profit margin per sale? How were you able to source product at such a high discount?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If presidential immunity is absolute..⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then again, with that same theory, he could just eliminate Congress altogether before the voting starts for impeachment. Or place specific justices on house arrest before they vote. Basically, the idiotic idea of a president not beholden to laws is mostly the same as a despotism if the “president” wishes it to be.

  Agreed. Narrator does sound like Ren.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie labels cry foul over Apple Music’s enhanced spatial audio royalties⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But if it truly is superior, won’t I as a consumer favor those recordings with spatial whatever it is by listening to them more, thereby encouraging the producers with more money because of the increased streaming over the others? Surely making such recordings a favored class where payments are concerned is just a form of double dipping?

  I love those. They’re underrated. Crackle is pretty nice, too.

  I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Dropkick Murphys’ The Season’s Upon Us yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re basically correct, in this case. I’ve chosen my official “side” as that of humanity. I’m not fully certain what that means other than I feel for the protestors/people of both sides and don’t want bad things to happen to either. The governments directly involved here, such as they are, are in the business of revenge and power. The people in general are being played by their governments, pawns to be sacrificed or otherwise used to further the purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did indigenous people survive hurricanes in the carribea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It’s easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.

  As one example of massive damage done in the not terribly distant past: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku, NBCUniversal Expand FAST Channel Offerings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who doesn’t own a Roku, is there an app that is available through the Play store to stream these? Or is it a Roku-only thing?
