- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 2 weeks ago:
Already been doing this, but I think this will finally light the fire under my ass to move to a boox device for all my reading I’ve got the big boox, which I use for sheet music, and quite like it, so the smaller ones are no brainers
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 2 weeks ago:
I almost wish Elon would buy it, so he can “manage” it like he did Twitter
- Comment on Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog 2 weeks ago:
Sweet. Time to enable this right away. Been using privacy pass for a while now, and quite like it. Same can be said for kagi
- Comment on AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds 3 weeks ago:
Funny, I find the BBC unable to accurately convey the news
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 3 weeks ago:
They’ve been censorious for over a decade. It’s just the old target was “acceptable” to most denizens of reddit and similar social media. Now that the censors are expanding their reach, we see umbrage? Come on now.
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 4 weeks ago:
Gears 5 is still a tour de force of how to do a modern game. It’s got cosmetics, customization, an acceptable (but not great) story, decent PvP, and imo the absolute best PvE. Nothing has managed to dethrone horde in 5+ years
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 4 weeks ago:
I’d still say the Gears franchise owns the shooter coop throne. Every game in the series supports at least 2 player, with 3 & judgement being 4 player, and 5 being 3 player. And they go out of their way to make coop different than regular campaigns too; there are several points, usually one in each level, where you have to split up

- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 4 weeks ago:
What do you think the closed beta was for? It was so they can get in and get on the moderator roster
- Comment on Making a Blocklist to Remove Spam from Search Engines 4 weeks ago:
Very large part of why I moved away to kagi. It just works.
Additionally, it’s system of weighting, instead of just a binary block, is very useful. Take fandom wikis for example. They’re awful, yes, but sometimes they’re the only result for a topic, and will do if needed. With a binary block list, you either see them or you don’t. With the weighted system, you can downrank them, so if better results show up, they appear higher in the listing than the downranked ones

But certainly not coincidental

- Comment on Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes 6 months ago:
It’s Stanford. Protests are to be had against middle America, not those who actually hold power, else you might not get the network effects the school all but promises
- Comment on Prusa slicer 2.8 UI changes 7 months ago:
Honestly I’d just stick to orca slicer
- Comment on "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again 7 months ago:
Let’s not forget when they shipped a full page ad for a Disney movie into a browser update
- Comment on "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again 7 months ago:
And these days, privacy is basically the only appeal of Firefox. It’s slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can’t hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life. Why mozilla seems determined to throw that all away is beyond me
- Comment on Tesla recalls most Cybertrucks in US over windshield wiper, exterior trim issues 8 months ago:
Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea
Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!

Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 9 months ago:
I quite like kagis universal summarizer, for example. It let’s me know if a long ass YouTube video is worth watching
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 9 months ago:
So you want Kagi
- Comment on Why the recent Mozilla news isn't actually a big deal 1 year ago:
How about they cut executive pay instead of fucking the rank and file over
- Comment on YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams 1 year ago:
During my most recent job search, the most annoying thing I saw was “resume consultants”
They’d reach out like an interested recruiter, but very quickly get to the sales pitch
- Comment on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families of children harmed online at hearing 1 year ago:
Apologies are free and valueless
- Comment on CEOs say generative AI will result in job cuts in 2024 1 year ago:
Can we start with the CEOs? Pretty sure shatGPT can do their jobs easily

- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 1 year ago:
Seriously. I had a friend extolling how good his experience with his chiropractor was, in response to my tale about physical therapy after a skiing accident. I ended the argument pretty quickly by asking “how often do you have to go back”
