I’ll keep saying it, this is called a Word Processor. They were cool when they were simple microcontrollers and LCD displays, not so much now.

One hell of a consolation prize
- Comment on Why I am not impressed by A.I. 2 months ago:
That was this reality. Very briefly. Remember AI Dungeon and the other clones that were popular prior to the mass ml marketing campaigns of the last 2 years?
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 3 months ago:
I assumed from the start that they were purposefully holding back promo codes, or scraping them from users and holding the affected sites ransom (in a sense). “We’ll stop serving this cupon if you become a member.” Scummy, but ultimately still slightly beneficial to the end user, a Robbin Hood crime. (Ignoring the people who work with genuinely good companies to get discount codes for things like student projects. Unrecognized casualties.)
It’s the affiliate link stealing that’s become the source of outcry. That was more stealthy and essentially flipped the script. Now everyone publicly in support of it is being burned.
If you were never involved in it, it really is just funny to see how quickly a corporate Robin Hood figure can flip sides. It’s not like we haven’t seen numerous examples before, some of them literally taking the namesake.

- Comment on How to self-host all of Bluesky except the AppView (for now) 5 months ago:
Well, that diagram brings up an interesting point. In fediverse if the host dies the federated content can still live on (theoretically, I haven’t checked to see if they cull content from dead hosts) but ATProto would dictate that the host is missing and therefore all content associated with the host is now immediately 404.
- Comment on Why doesn't Signal forbid third party clients or at least offer a client certification program to ensure security? 6 months ago:
I could appreciate a client certification that is optional, like a list of approved clients on their website or something along those lines.
It should not be enforced by killing the client. I like security, but I enjoy software freedom more.
- Comment on Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges 6 months ago:
Not sure about the Eco tank line, but the smart tank line botched the IPP interface. Ink level reporting is always wrong and printer status is regularly wrong. Exposed settings are limited to push people to the app.
