- Comment on Kickstarter adds a 'tariff manager' to let creators add surcharges to previously funded projects 7 hours ago:
A project I am supporting just dropped a mail on that subject. They will handle all non-US deliveries including Canada and Mexico through other countries. Originally, they wanted to handle everything from the US. Good for us, as we expect to have a relay in the EU so we don’t even have to deal with customs.
- Comment on Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration? 21 hours ago:
He is a Narcissist. He needs to be loved, that’s why he thrives in his role of Almighty President-King.
Polls are showing that he isn’t, so he pushes ads here and tries to buy love there.
- Comment on Update - Vancouver festival tragedy: 11 victims in Lapu Lapu Day crowd ranged in age from 5 to 65, police say 1 day ago:
So is this the usual “white skin? Yes:Mental health issue; No: Terrorist” thing?

There are people like me who occasionally read all/new.

- Comment on Chinese Factory Worker Can't Believe The Shit He Makes For Americans 3 days ago:
Fun fact: from another post I just learned that sex toys are a really booming domestic market in China at the moment.

As long as you hold the passwords…

That’s what router settings do. Sorry, X is not reachable from here.
- Comment on An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious 5 days ago:
If they mistake those electronic parrots for conscious intelligencies, they probably won’t be the best judges for rating such things.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
That is as old as customs and tariffs and is called “smuggling”.
And about equally as long it is frowned upon by those who impose customs and tariffs.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 6 days ago:
Does it really? You would think that in the times of social media and omnipresent cameras, aliens and UFOs should be omnipresent, if they existed.
And please put warnings before YT links.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 1 week ago:
Lets put it this way: in the 60s, a photo was not a simple or common thing. Only a few people had a camera at hand, and films could only take 20 to 30 pictures, so they were used sparingly. Still, many UFO pictures date from back then.
Nowadays, everyone has a camera on person, and you can do thousands of pictures in a row. There are millions of recording video surveillance cameras everywhere. So if UFOs exist, there should be myriads of pictures and recordings, many of which in top notch quality, where you could read the labels on the little green mens console buttons.
So far, they remain to be seen.
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 1 week ago:
Thumbs up for reporting it as spam.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 1 week ago:
Not as in “FOSS alternative”, as it is already open, but simply a Linux version: Tortoise SVN, the file manager integrated UI for SVN. That is actually one of the two things missing in the Linux portfolio. The other being a native port of Notepad++, although this at least runs fine under wine.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
I absolutely support dolphin over explorer. Whenever I have to deal with Windows, having to use this crappy excuse for a file tool feels like pain incarnated.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
For me, it is the other way round. Probably depends on what you are doing.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Because of f-ed up autocorrect, that’s why.
- Comment on He is disappointed in all of you 1 week ago:
Wear that to church. Sit in the front row so the pastor can see it.
- Comment on Been holding it in 1 week ago:
If a man opens the car door for a woman, either the car or the woman is new.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
They have a bunch of display ports and HDMIs. You can buy the tuner you need (SAT, OTA, cable, other streamer), or use a PC&Linux and watch YT add-free.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Oh, they do have products without all that shit. They offer large screen monitors that are basically their TVs without the “smart” part.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 week ago:
And MAGAs would grind it, bake it, and eat it. Just to own the libs.
- Comment on 4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails. 1 week ago:
My nightmare source was only a few lines less, and it actually was commented. But in French. Label names were also dereived from French. The original author was dead, and Google translate was not yet a thing.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 week ago:
Just imagine you having to fix a thousand pages of this. I feel your pain.
- Comment on Meta is failing to stop dangerous disinformation in the world’s most spoken languages. 2 weeks ago:
Time for the EU to seriously fine them and block them until full compliance.
- Comment on State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’ 2 weeks ago:
Right out of Nazi Germanys playbook. But you never learned such things in your history lessons.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 weeks ago:
You’ve still got a British passport? Consider staying out of trouble, I.e. the US.

But less often.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 2 weeks ago:
We have one odd leftist party in Germany that is basically Putins press office. Maybe they meant those.

The cabinet of president Trump is not known for their skills with the subjects they deal with, but for their willingness to kiss his ass.
