- Comment on UK Government Response to the Stop Killing Games Petition 7 months ago:
The UK gov are as useless as nipples on a man. They don’t act on anything unless they see monetary gain.

Even as an Audiophile, I agree, FLAC is a waste of bandwidth and disk space unless you’re remixing tracks (which most people don’t do!)
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 10 months ago:
Smartphones are bad for the mind of developing children; I’d go as far to say as they’re bad in general for adults (but that’s a different topic).
I never had a smartphone when I was a child and I turned out just fine…

This guy looks like AI.
- Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis 10 months ago:
This country and the people who run it is a fucking joke. This is no different to Victorian era shit, except we’re supposed to be more civilised nowadays and accept these freeloaders to get preferential treatment? Fuck off, paid thieves is what they are.
- Comment on Got a Ring doorbell? Expect a 43% increase in annual subscription 10 months ago:
A glory hole for your visitors.
- Comment on Got a Ring doorbell? Expect a 43% increase in annual subscription 10 months ago:
Subscriptions are cancer, don’t be a mug and cancel if you’re unhappy with the price increase. People aren’t made of money and EVERYTHING is turning into a subscription nowadays.
- Comment on Disney+ Drops 1.3 Million Subscribers Amid Price Hike, Streaming Loss Shrinks by $300 Million 10 months ago:
When greed backfires it’s glorious! Plus the more streaming services pop up, the more people will pirate; we’ve regressed back into the cable TV era all because the suits are greedy bastards and deserve to lose every subscriber.
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 10 months ago:
Yeah but 1,900 staff, come the fuck on that’s a mass exodus not a layoff. I’m in a company of 300+ people and it’s a HUGE number of people, I can hardly process over 6x as many layoffs…
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 10 months ago:
Blizzard don’t make Blizzard games anymore, all of the original staff left a very long time ago. They are just Blizzard in name and nothing else.

Parents protect children not the government, they shouldn’t be lying in our faces…
- Comment on The UK’s problematic Online Safety Act is now law | Ars Technica 1 year ago:
Children shouldn’t be allowed to use smartphones. They didn’t exist when I was a kid so, kids nowadays can do without one too. Smartphones and the government are harmful for health.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
Yeah but still with ads for free users.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
Unpopular Opinion: I don’t like ads as much as anyone, I’d rather YouTube monetises 1440p and 4k content instead of forcing people to watch ads. YouTube is an extremely expensive business to run, so it being free forever is completely unsustainable.

It’s an uphill battle, why would Apple bother when just using USB-C makes sense and saves them their lawyers sanity?
- Comment on Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding 1 year ago:
Go and troll somewhere else, it’s clear you won’t change your opinion even though you’re wrong.
- Comment on Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge 1 year ago:
It’s like a dick measuring contest; personally, I don’t want AI shoved down my throat and my private data sold without my consent.

Ironically, it is not available on iPhone lol
- Comment on Man Found Guilty of Child Porn, Because He Ran a Tor Exit Node 1 year ago:
This is insane! It’s like prosecuting a postman for delivering child porn content to a customer.
- Comment on Reddit is taking control of large subreddits that are still protesting its API changes 1 year ago:
All it’s done is run their reputation into the ground. Trash company run by trash human beings.
- Comment on YouTube Premium quietly goes up in price to $14 per month | That's a significant $2 increase with no official announcement. 1 year ago:
I don’t pay specifically for YouTube with no ads, that’s just a nice bonus, the primary reason is YouTube Music which is amazing.
- Comment on People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit... 1 year ago:
The only tech I want in my car is satellite navigation, Bluetooth audio and Bluetooth headset support. Anything else is fluff.
- Comment on Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. 1 year ago:
Why don’t they just actually give their actual reason: to spy on UK citizens.
To use children and criminals as a scapegoat for this attrocity is disgusting.

I’m sure if it was a £2.5bn fine, they’d be much more careful about customer privacy going forwards…
