- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 2 days ago:
Most upper-middle class people are also looking for good investment opportunities. I’m talking about people who might have a net worth of far less than a million dollars. Let alone a billion.

Wow, very misleading article. Buffet said those things in 2012, right as the economy was starting to recover from the fear recession. Things are very different now.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 4 days ago:
They’re obviously basing it on the local laws of the business and customer. That varies from each transaction to the next. They’re just saying that they don’t restrict anything that they aren’t legally required to restrict.

You aren’t thinking like a hiring manager.
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 2 weeks ago:
The difference between this and the iPhone 4 leak might just be company policy. I’m sure Apple’s rules for handling prototypes got stricter after the first leak, so this guy probably broke more rules than the first, even if they did basically the same thing.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 3 weeks ago:
If you have a chance to read the article, I’d highly recommend it. It directly addresses that point.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 3 weeks ago:
The article says you should stick with Firefox. If you have time, I’d recommend reading the entire article!
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 3 weeks ago:
Did you read the article? It says Firefox is the best choice you have, and all of the criticism is directed at the organization’s leadership.

Yep, Americans have less freedom than North Koreans because we can’t tether our phones data service to our laptops. /s
I fully support net neutrality, but there are bigger problems than not being able to tether your phone’s data plan to your laptop.

I’m pretty sure everyone who says it’s gay to wipe your own ass is trolling.
- Comment on King forgot his crown 4 weeks ago:
By that logic, fake fundraisers and romance scams shouldn’t be illegal either.
- Comment on King forgot his crown 4 weeks ago:
We do - romance scams are fraud, and they’re illegal.

I’ve never seen a Phillips screw get stripped without first camming out a few times.
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 1 month ago:
WD-40 is a jack of all trades but master of none. There’s probably a better product, no matter what you’re trying to do, but everyone has a can of WD-40 lying around.

There are a lot of other hobbies though, and not many other careers that pay as well as comp sci. If you can turn a programming hobby into a career, you should. You’ll have enough money to find another hobby.

While the cold war is passing out of living memory, the chill that it left on American leftism for the better part of 100 years is hard to overstate.
The Cold War ended in 1991, what are you talking about?
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
Respectful, I disagree. I’ve learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they’re unintentionally blunt.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
Helpful by sharing information they believed to be true, that they thought you might not have heard/known. I don’t see any malice in their post or any expectation that you change what you’re doing.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
I don’t think that was meant as criticism, it seemed like they were trying to be helpful.
Awesome keeb, BTW!

- Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue 2 months ago:
Yes, but temporary fixes are the most permanent.

Looks like the thread is handling most of the force, and the glue is just keeping it in place.

There are several ways. There could be a vulnerability in one of the underlying algorithms, in the crypto system, or in the implementation.
I’m not saying signal isn’t secure, but encryption can absolutely be hacked.

Based on its name, I have to assume the EU Data Act only applies in the EU. So this will still be an issue for anyone who doesn’t live in the EU.

They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.

Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 months ago:
That’s not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn’t matter if your didn’t even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.
