- Comment on Google reacts angrily to report it will have to sell Chrome 1 day ago:
Good. I want them to be angry about having to break up search and ads so they have to compete like everyone else again.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on New data reveals thousands of Australians who own 10 rentals or more 4 weeks ago:
Yes. Many. Here’s the first: mobility.
In my 20s, I didn’t live in the same city for more than a couple years at a time. If I had not been able to rent, I’d have wasted tons of money.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.
It does happen.

- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
Few exist, but they do exist.
The issue is that many times in the past when men have tried to creat men only groups, they get called sexist and forced to open the group.
Men aren’t allowed to discuss their issues (men’s rights discussion is seen as hate), they aren’t allowed to discuss that they aren’t allowed to discuss men’s issues ( this is seen as hate ). Because men are seen as privileged.
I fully expect hate for this comment and I won’t engage.

- Comment on Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck 2 months ago:
Man, it should. But far too often, people don’t realize that Google uses every data they have related to you for ad targeting.
- Comment on Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck 2 months ago:
Additionally, that info will be used to inform ads the Google serves to you across its ad delivering products.

They want me to buy a streaming stick from an advertising company and tell me it is going to be the experience that I’ve been looking for? Yeah… no.
This will either be canceled or enshittified immediately.

What I’m reading here isn’t that GTA6 will be a new short story made in the GTA5 engine that has the sole purpose of pushing people into GTAO2.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Unfortunately many of these platforms treat a block as an interaction.
There is no way to ignore these posts without triggering an interaction.
As others said, it is truly the goal of these sites to make you angry.
- Comment on Affinity’s Adobe-rivaling creative suite is now free for six months 4 months ago:
It goes on sale often. I think I got it for $50 a while back.
Easily worth it. Supporting a customer friendly business model is how we keep nice things.

The same person that asked you to respond with this nonsense.

- Comment on Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira 6 months ago:
This is just the public warning to stop using square space. Once the PE vultures are in, the product will be made worse and more expensive until it shuts down for lack of “profitability”and growth.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 6 months ago:
That is absolutely a solution. But what I’m talking about is a way to monetize while keeping the service free but without showing ads.
This is the billion dollar idea. If not trillion.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 6 months ago:
This just in, people don’t like ads. At all. Most people.
It is time to find a new business model that works. I’m not smart enough to know what that is so that you don’t piss off customers, but whoever figures it out will be a billionaire.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 6 months ago:
I still believe their naming conventions has destroyed the brand.
Grandma that wants to buy a toy for their kids can go to the store and buy the next PlayStation. Xbox… which one do they buy? They don’t, they buy the easy option.

- Comment on Palia developers lay off a third of staff just weeks after cosy life sim's Steam launch 7 months ago:
Video game developer here. It has been happening since the games industry started. Frequently, early games were made by contractors that were let go at the end of a project.
Many studios have done this for decades. Many developers actually like this as contract work pays differently than salary work and gives different freedoms.
