Thanks for that link! I was almost gonna start one myself. Gonna try that one instead, at least for a while.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 1 day ago:
The world will be better when people will stop following the medieval trend of having a lawn. Water consumption, leaf blowers, habitat invasion would be finally gone.

Am I the only one that sees Adolfo “using” it and Musk “feeling” it?

I bet they will still make it default.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 1 week ago:
I don’t know to what extent they’ll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 week ago:
Which is information in itself.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 week ago:
My position is that there is no way to assert it really did.
The ban of his account were present in Italian news since March: lapresse.it/…/turchia-x-di-elon-musk-sospende-acc…
This is old news.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 week ago:
I left a precedent in another top-level comment (a screenshot). Also, broke the laws is not my standard in these cases.
- Comment on I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. 1 week ago:
Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 1 week ago:
If there was any proof of that, the laws would be moving to prohibit in certain professions or situations
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 week ago:
The fact that Bluesky didn’t post about it doesn’t mean they did not challenge.
Also, a file on Google Drive is not a petition submitted. There is nowhere a letter signed or stamped as received.
You know you can pay a law firm for drafting a letter and then not send it, right?
There are too many conclusions you are coming to without knowing the actual facts.
I judge what happened for sure.
And for sure both of them complied, officially asked to or not, to obscuring a political prisoner’s account (and dozens of other activists as well, by the way).
Also, regarding X, this is old news, from the end of March.
Also, are you X? Like, the platform, its personification? Because if you are not, then I didn’t call you a nazi. You can go clean your snot from your neckbeard.

I have discovered the Gemini protocol yesterday.
Hosting what they call a capsule would be easy and extremely lightweight and I could surf from an index using an app called Lagrange, available on F-Droid.
Can you explain how your system differs?
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 week ago:
I know they would comply just as well, as I stated in another comment, because they are a private platform, but actually in this case the presence on Bluesky of the Imamoglu account in perfect condition with 129K followers proves that something else must be the case here.
Also, X didn’t give a shit about complying in Brazil.
Nah, Nazi platform does nazi stuff, it’s that simple.
You can come down the mirror now.

Italian here, Roman actually.
The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.
It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.
So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don’t have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

- Comment on Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence 2 weeks ago:
I assure you that is not true. Even in my “mild” domain of marketing analytics, vendors exist that are EU companies with EU storage also run by EU companies or they offer on-premise deployment. And serious companies with users that may signal personal details through behavioral data seek such solutions.
- Comment on Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence 2 weeks ago:
The Processor is not, but the Controller is still required to guarantee appropriate security for personal data. Appropriate means running a risk assessment and deciding accordingly.
The problem is when in the EU we take as security responsible for healthcare people who handled IAM for Jira tops.

Running water would allow for 30% reduction in bacteria, according to some sources.
Also, in that time period soap was known in Spain, France and Italy, and I personally made it in the summer using either olive oil or pork fat.

That would be a warlock I guess.

Given the rate at which people would become mentally or physically disabled because of diseases, you could argue it would have a network effect (probably a better term exists): I would have more chances to meet people and influence them, to learn something useful, to accumulate and use wealth for the above, so yeah…

Asking for a friend.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 4 weeks ago:
3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.
3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.
Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!

Damn! You are a tough cookie. Do you go to the barber?
- Comment on Every time you eat, you're trusting many strangers to not have tampered with your food 5 weeks ago:
This is actually my very favorite kind of reasoning to oppose to conspiracy theorists. I don’t use food though, because people rarely think of death as a consequence of tampering with food: I use air travel.
“So you say I shouldn’t trust anyone, I see… So you don’t fly anywhere?” “What has that anything to do with it?” “Do you realize how many different people are involved in running checks just to keep you alive at any given moment of a flight and even in the airport?”
Usually these people drive everywhere and are borderline against the existence of public transport, so using trains or subway lines doesn’t work.

Oh didn’t know they were AI generated. I thought it was just the work of underpaid UI designers, kind of a silent protest
