- Comment on 'Fake it till you make it' insinuates fakers stop being fake, once they make it; reality seems to suggest otherwise 4 days ago:
It’s often about imposter syndrome. People don’t feel like they belong, when really they often are the same as their peers. So if they just pretend like the belong they can keep the facade until their imposter syndrome goes away.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 6 days ago:
the very fucking obvious answer that satisfies both questions is, “they don’t have a fucking choice”
You are comparing two things that are categorically different. Horses are not moral agents like people are, so slavery literally cannot apply. No animal has moral choices. We do not arrest an animal for breaking laws, because laws cannot apply to an animal. The issue with riding horses is one of welfare, not consent or freedom.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 6 days ago:
Are you saying those slaves are basically animals? Or that horses are basically people? I’m assuming you’re more so going for the latter, which is still a wild idea. They are domesticated animals, not people.
With your logic, just think of all the enslaved cats and dogs being forced to live in homes with lots of pets and constantly be fed and loved. Does animal cruelty happen? Of course. But to suggest domesticated horses are being enslaved because people have ridden horses for 5,000 years is truly a wild take.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 6 days ago:
It’s there for me. It seems like they took away the “View image” option, which would open the image in the same tab rather than a new one?
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 6 days ago:
The feature would likely need to be enabled to take advantage of such vulnerability in said feature.

As far as I know, you can not change the authoritative name server for domains registered with cloudflare (probably not a big issue for most people)

- Comment on BentoPDF v1.16.0 3 weeks ago:
I’m running it and it screams vibe coded. The maintainer worked for an AI company before this as well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it is mostly AI written. It’s buggy and clunky, despitr having a clean UI. The features are random and incomplete. The PDF Form creator is a joke. The signature portion doesn’t work. The “simple” mode really should be default. The website has big company bames in it saying “used by peoplr working at” which is just a bullshit and unimportant thing to say to put big companies logos on the site. Also those same logos aren’t currently removed from the simple mode probably because the AI didn’t consider that when it added the feature.
I know it’s a new project, so I am hoping it gets better. I have wanted a tool exactly like this for so long. Unfortunate that it’s a result of AI, but beggars can’t be choosers
- Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers 3 weeks ago:
as they invented euphemisms like ‘hallucinations’
Seems like a pretty accurate word to use, no? Could also use fabrication, concoction, phantom, or something else? I think “lie” and its synonyms are not accurate, since that requires intent. Since the LLM does not have intent, it cannot “lie”.

Whatsapp and Signal are US-based, which means that they will give up your data on the first request.
This is true. In regards to Signal, they do always comply with the governments request for data. The things is, Signal has next to no data on you. So when they comply, they give them everything they have (which is next to nothing). You can see everything they have given up here: signal.org/bigbrother/

Commercial location data, in this case acquired from hundreds of millions of phones via a company called Penlink, can be queried without a warrant, according to an internal ICE legal analysis shared with 404 Media.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 5 weeks ago:
That’s the “better” reaction channels. There are channels that record singer generic reactions (no commentary) and put them over hundreds of videos despite the reactions not making sense at all

It’s funny, but it’s not good advice. If you said “I’m not a bot. If there’s something specific you disagree with, I’m happy to clarify.” they’d KNOW you’re a bot
- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 2 months ago:
Calling someone an NPC is just an insult. Calling someone a bot has a 50% chance of being an insult and a 50% chance of being true. Adjust percentages as needed

I don’t generally think encouraging people to live in fantasies is a good idea. I understand your viewpoint on religion being a fantasy, but unfortunately there is a difference between religion and believing centaurs are real.

I will say, it’s practical for everyone using the same system. Sometimes it’s nice to acknowledge an email without having to respond to it
And when I had my school account, they’d send out phishing alerts of what to look out for. Those emails would be spammed with crying laughing emojis
