Ireland. English speaking, need nurses, Americans move here handy enough. Your faith wont matter.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 2 days ago:
I watched Into The Spiderverse on Netflix yesterday. The audio was in English but the visuals were in German, which given the style was very distracting. I could not change the video source.
Piracy has always been a better experience, it was just more work for a short time.

Toyota are also foreign and the biggest auto company in terms of numbers moved.
- Comment on China’s booming EV companies eye U.S. competitors they see as ‘not ready’ 2 days ago:
As has been the way since its inception. Fruit company coups and prohibition to support lumer industries.

How so?
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 3 days ago:
Not really, not every business is in bed with the politicians. This was a worse case scenario where rentals became the main method of purchasing, so everyone would be on level ground. Those making 20 times profit margins are not everyday businesses, they ae luxury brands who would still thrive on their branding alone.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 4 days ago:
The companies who have 20x the mark up necessary to survive will quickly see new businesses occupy the space to undercut them.
- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 5 days ago:
I deleted their app and moved search engines, they got shit quick. So bad at their main usp. I was constantly fed hyper local results, local even with location off. And dont get me started on how bad it was for porn.
- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 5 days ago:
Yeah…have you ever had to buy new appliances? I just got a house, half my searches were for appliances, fittings and reviews and the results all sucked.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 week ago:
They need to separate out the sites, big budget dailies and content creators, your run of the mill every day creators and a video uploading site.
Theyncant be all things, simultaneously pushing shorts and videos over 15 minutes.
- Comment on Looking for MiTV box replacement 1 week ago:
UI is garbage and remote sucks. I like the spec but my god is typing on the remote cumbersome. Intentionally so but it makes me hate them more.

God I hate spotify, I have just been with them for so long as a family too but it gets worse and worse. Injust wanted to disable clean versions of albums, everytime I drive and voice search a song I get a clean album.

- Comment on Tesla Lays Off Employee Who Slept In Car To Work Longer Hours 1 week ago:
Anyone not seeing the writing on the wall, or in some cases in large print on front pages of papers, in relation to this dude deserves to be fired.
- Comment on Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the algorithm has pushed a lot of creators to 20 mind plus which can be nice for turning on while cleaning up the kitchen but sometimes I see an interesting video and Im thinking thatt if it were 5 minutes shorter I’d click but 20+ needs a lot of content to justify. Veritasium and a few others have fallen out of my rotation because there is a bit of fat on the videos these days.
- Comment on Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you? 2 weeks ago:
Vids are too long today though
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 weeks ago:
Ah fuck it, its just the next step the US is just mad China got this privacy invader and not them. Meanwhile Meta is the internet to most of Africa.
All major social medias have been toxic and invasive and only now does it matter to the US.
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 2 weeks ago:
I sincerely hate the “let me google that for you” condescension that rears its head sometimes. It is a discussion thread and makes up a lot of what google results will show so why dont they just help someone out and talk about whatever was asked.
Those redditors are insufferable. Giving someone some info and pointing them in te right direction is not the same and is the best way to go about things
- Comment on Drake threatened with lawsuit over diss track featuring AI Tupac 2 weeks ago:
It wasnt a release, he stuck a clip up on instagram
- Comment on Reddit Is Taking Over Google 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know I am getting really shit results on all major search egines lately. Very location specific when I want general information and when I want to have some me times getting decent results, with moderation turned off, is piss poor.
- Comment on Royal Mail insists it will keep fining innocent victims of counterfeit stamps 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say having a shop front is a conflict of interest and postal agents exist as is so I only see it as removing a piece of a public utility in favour of privatisation.
Generally speaking, privatising public infrastrucure causes issues and added expense for consumers, less stable jobs and removes the benefit of the public investment.
- Comment on Royal Mail insists it will keep fining innocent victims of counterfeit stamps 3 weeks ago:
What a completely unnecessary division of labour and commerce.
Privatisation sucks.
- Comment on Royal Mail insists it will keep fining innocent victims of counterfeit stamps 3 weeks ago:
Theres a difference? The uk has two public postal services?

- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 3 weeks ago:
Seeing this at 21 minutes past gave me a slight pause.
- Comment on Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband 3 weeks ago:
There are limitations to the technology, similar to saying 3 times faster than sound.
Also broadband as a regulated term would have speeds tied to that definition.
