You both make excellent points. I’m on the fence.

Have you been weezin’ da juice?
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 1 day ago:
I’m an American so I don’t understand why you haven’t just put a couple 30 round mags through the wall with your AR-15?
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 1 day ago:
Why do you avoid them?
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 1 day ago:
I don’t use them. Or screen protectors . I take good care of my devices, and my phone gets its own pocket always, so no scratches. I’ve only broken 1 phone in my life and it was only the back glass on an iPhone 4, which slipped off my motorcycle seat because that fucking phone was frictionless.
- Comment on Here's for 2 years since I joined Lemmy 2 days ago:
Same. No Apollo no Reddit. Haven’t been back except to delete my account a few weeks later.

Moved to Colorado.
- Comment on IPv6 for self hosters 5 days ago:
I took the networking TCP/IP fundamentals class for my first MCSE in 99, and the instructor wouldn’t shut up about how IPv4 would be replaced within 5 years.

That guy’s experiments were the inspiration for the Rats of NIMH books, which led to The Secret of NIMH movie!

Historically speaking, about 6.6m square miles.
- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 1 week ago:
Microsoft marketing is the epitome of “fuck up, move up”, I’m convinced. I’m so glad I’m retired and don’t have to deal with any of that bullshit anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 1 week ago:
They should work on getting it right for their own stuff, first.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Pretty good opinion, NGL.

A game long enough that you die trying to finish watching it?
This is why I hate baseball.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Ok but what’s your medical opinion?
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 1 week ago:
I read something similar recently so I went to look it up. According to Donor Alliance:
“only 3 in 1,000 people pass away in a manner that allows for deceased organ donation”
- Comment on Most of us will leave behind a large ‘digital legacy’ when we die. Here’s how to plan what happens to it 1 week ago:
You’d be very disappointed. Most of it is stuff you can get off usenet yourself, and the rest is documents and pictures nobody cares about but me.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 week ago:
Well my attitude is

My digital legacy is going in the dumpster, unless somebody figures out how to break encryption that I’ve never shared the password for.
Probate can figure out the rest.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 week ago:
I am fine with isolating myself from evil.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 week ago:
I do try. I actively boycott shitty companies (for 30 years and counting) and my list is long and swollen.
If more people took action on their principles our systems would be a lot less shitty.
Just because you can’t boycott everything doesn’t mean you should do nothing.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 week ago:
“Everything sucks so do nothing” is exactly how evil stays in power.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 1 week ago:
The amount of people that donate organs is far lower than the need. We really ought to have an opt out system. Other people need your inside meat more than the embalmer does.
- Comment on A 19-year old cis lesbian woman was beaten unconscious and robbed after she tried to use the women's restroom at a McDonald's in Carpentersville, Illinois 1 week ago:
You are clearly overestimating the American public education system.
- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 1 week ago:
Prudes gonna prude. I had access to porn at age 10 and that was before digital porn existed. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and parents aren’t going to stop hormones from doing their thing. Guidance and education is far more helpful than prohibition and shame, but a lot of parents can’t get past their own discomfort to do what’s best for their kid.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 1 week ago:
I don’t really understand the authors point, if there even is one. They regale us with tales of how they wiretapped their family, but there is no lesson learned here. Don’t waste your time reading it like I did.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 2 weeks ago:
I need to get a new VPN setup. Been using OpenVPN through OPNsense for years but I’m fed up with the abysmal performance of the OpenVPN client on iOS. Open to suggestions but it has to be fully self hosted.
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 2 weeks ago:
The gift card people have absolutely no motivation to fix this problem. They are making bank.
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 2 weeks ago:
More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024.
Bullshit.
