Is it normal to close an article when given two options: consent to sharing your data with 99999 companies or “choose options” and manually disable 999 subsets of said companies?
I did that once just bein curious of when the list ends, but I’m not repeating that - Comment on Bethesda teases The Elder Scrolls 6 in anniversary message and brags its developers are already 'playing early builds' and loving it 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Humane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviews 4 weeks ago:
This is exactly what I meant: they’re selling a watch without a strap, and saying it’s something new
- Comment on Humane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviews 4 weeks ago:
If you add a strap to it, it will be smartwatch. So there’s a need and a niche, just not for one more way to do the same stuff

ELI5: Your neighbor has a pool. He allows you to swim there, “any day you want”. Then he is off his meds and he stops letting you in. Can you sue him because you had some rights to swim in his pool before? - Comment on Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here. 3 months ago:
Yes, it does work, and it feels nice there. Though a large part of it is not about improving other ways of transportation, but about creating problems for car-owners.
So, “greater good” and all, but the situation is far from perfect even here, and people have a long way ahead, to create infrastructures where people also feel good, but not because someone is “getting punished for bad behaviour” - Comment on Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here. 3 months ago:
It’s not the time to brag that The Netherlands have a better cycling infrastructure (that is actually debatable), the comment was about cars “going away completely”.
Yes, I don’t have a personal car, but recently I needed to haul a dining table and 6 chairs into my apartment. It took a Berlingo and two hours, and it would be a complete circus number even with a cargobike. - Comment on Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here. 3 months ago:
Oh, come on, I live in Copenhagen and cycle daily, but even there, cars are not going anywhere. Smelly-smokey cars, yes, but not cars in general.

Oh, cool, thank you, I’ll check Feeder out. I want my stuff to be on my phone. I’m going to the airport right now, and spending 8,5 hours without internet. It’s funny that I wouldn’t have a problem with that in 2008, but I have now :)
- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 3 months ago:
Google Reader shutdown has completely changed the way I was ingesting information. It was so convenient, I always had 2-3 days worth of articles, web comics and news for reading.
Another problem was that many sites shifted to providing only parts of articles instead of full versions, and it was still the time when I wasn’t always online to finish reading. - Comment on World’s Biggest Solar Thermal Plant To Be Built In Saudi Arabia 4 months ago:
Oh, sure, I’m not arguing with that. I only meant they didn’t read the word “thermal”, which means that’s entirely different from photovoltaic technology.

Looking at the picture, I think Forbes has no idea, what a solar thermal power plant is.

- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 4 months ago:
This is the phone I had as my own and sold to my customers. It came out a year before iPhone among many others. It was a mature product. It was quite shitty in terms of performance, but it had all connectivity and gps stuff, and many apps to work with it all.
Windows’ shitty interface could be improved by cool touch-oriented interfaces (Spb Mobile Shell being one of them), there were 3rd party keyboards as well. m.gsmarena.com/htc_p3600-1694.php - Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 4 months ago:
Nope, there was a lot of Windows Mobile smartphones before iPhones and Androud devices. WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, phone, thousands of apps, “full browser” (I don’t know what a commenter meant by that, but I could use internet normally)
When iPhone appeared, it was sooo limited. A couple of my regular customers (I was selling qtek/htc smartphones) bought them, but then came back to me: “uhhh, this thing doesn’t allow attachments in emails”, “uhhh, do you have normal maps app for that? can’t drive with that” - Comment on It's official: Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
I use SimpleNote, which is really close to the default MacOS note app (my goal was exactly to find something similar for Windows).
Note list on the left, note’s content on the right, no bullshit, no clutter. You can pin notes, you can add tags, stuff is cloud-synced. - Comment on Tesla Cybertruck's stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts 5 months ago:

Same goes with an open tank of a combustible liquid, right? And filling it with a combustible liquid gun. Sooo safe!
