- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 3 weeks ago:
I wondered the same thing. Seems we’re getting older than the median age on here. Lol
- Comment on YSK that after leaving power, Margaret Thatcher became a lobbyist for tobacco companies 3 weeks ago:
I don’t follow much politics, and I dont follow political history either. I felt that this was a quality post and I appreciated it.
You’d do yourself a favor by not thinking and speaking for all of us.
- Comment on China plans to build nuclear plant on the moon to power base shared with Russia 2 months ago:
Same thing they always try to imply. Just ignore the jerks on this platform and you do you.
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 2 months ago:
Ah so you meant to write the op was “hey, as a homeless dude, I’m offended ya prick so fuck right off”. Cant argue with that!
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 2 months ago:
I’ve been homeless and work closely with the homeless.
No homeless person was harmed or offended here. It was a person making a point. Ffs chill with the sjw

Ah yes. I still wear my 25 year old “deleted a prod database” badge with honor
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 4 months ago:
Strange. I’ve been a daily user for 4 years. I’ve still never seen Nazi stuff. It got more political in the past 6 months, but that’s expected.
- Comment on Why I am not impressed by A.I. 4 months ago:
Yes, people are using it as the least efficient communication protocol ever.
One side asks an LLM to expand a summary into a fluff filled email, and the other side asks an LLM to reduce the long email to a summary.

Actually, it was the US president removing the convertibility of the US dollar to gold.

- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 7 months ago:
That’s certainly a good possibility.
Could it instead be related to them discontinuing the lightning port on all devices, and usb-c to 3.5mm adapters are available for $2 on temu so they’re not bothering? Is that alternate reality also possible?
A follow up, if wired headphones actually are unpopular, why are there pages and pages of sellers in all marketplaces selling usb-c to 3.5mm adapters?

This was exactly what I thought. You could start a staffing company that supplied skilled temp workers with this skill set.

- Comment on New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer 8 months ago:
I disagree. I find it quite relevant to have the person/ group, the strategy or method, and the device used (including chipsets). Most articles on prime number discovery will mention all these things.
The fact that he worked there seems pretty irrelevant tho.
- Comment on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens 8 months ago:
There are really good, incentivized versions of decentralized storage networks. Unfortunately discussions about them are stigmatizes under the “crypto” umbrella so the mere mention typically gets you buried.
If you have an open mind, check them out!
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 8 months ago:
Community is fine, your comment is at the top, along with others pointing this out.
It’s the “non-community” if you will booting this. The passerby’s not reading comments.
- Comment on Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun 8 months ago:
I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to programming, but I know bad programming when I see it.
Thanks for this! I often wonder if non-programmers can see this. Such horrible programmers. And embarrassingly low bar for company outsourced it.
Some find it scary that AI might take programmers’ jobs. I like to think that it’s these type programmers being replaced, and I’m kinda keen on having that.

It’s behind a paywall for me. Good to hear I don’t have to bother with an archive link
