So many fake Simpsons Trump “Predictions” I see them literally everywhere. It’s so weird how hard people try to push this shit, especially considering The Simpsons has made plenty of amazingly and eerily accurate … prognostications? But you never see those on mainstream social media. Only the fake Trump ones.

- Comment on Teslas have been consuming a lot of gasoline lately. 5 weeks ago:
Ah yes, the tragic wave of innocent Tesla owners having their daily drivers ritually torched by angry mobs. Definitely a real thing, definitely not just a few dealership lots going up in smoke under extremely convenient circumstances. Definitely not insurance fraud from a company that’s hemorrhaging value and propped up by enough tax subsidies to fund a small nation. Let’s all clutch our pearls and act like someone’s grandma just lost her only ride to church. You good, or do you need a GoFundMe for your imagination?

Everyone acting like it’s okay to throw eggs at billionaires’ yachts because of wealth inequality. Then you should have no argument against rich kids throwing caviar at homeless shelters because they disapprove of being asked to share. Just saying.

You’re probably right, but this feels an awful lot like a ‘violence in video games will lead to violence in real life’ argument.

Just gonna add that it can also be installed directly to any Linux PC or in a docker container. The raspberry pi isn’t necessarily necessary.

That makes you incredibly lucky, and doesn’t change that your comment is the smartass comment. Why would you assume your situation is normal or that you represent the average experience?

- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 2 months ago:
Every service and site had their own malicious toolbar they’d ask you to install and / sneak it into the install for other software. They also came loaded with malware and or siphoned data from you. Older/more tech illiterate people would have browsers looking like the picture above and come to you wondering why their computer is so slow or why they keep getting viruses.

- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 months ago:
Yes, the sidekick LX was the perfect phone, it’s too bad they shit the bed when they tried to bring it back with Android.
As far as androids with keyboards, the Moto Droid and the HTC G2 really hit the sweet spot. They are tiny little things though compared to current flagships.

Man, are you okay? Is there something you’re taking or not taking that you should be?
- Comment on Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess 2 months ago:
Bewildering mess is accurate. My daughter has a 4a. They took her perfectly good battery and toasted it, now it fully drains in about 20 minutes. The solution? They’ll pay for a repair… 150 miles from my house, or send me $50… Through Payoneer??? Or give me $100 credit to the Google store where the cheapest phone is $500. The new batteries are all on backorder so even if I replace it myself she has put up with this issue for an indeterminate amount of time.
