1 point. I’ve never sent/received a fax.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 5 days ago:
I’m sure having a corrupt non-government narcissist rewrite the code for SS will be fine. It’s not like he could leave any code hidden in there for his own purposes, like controlling or redirecting payments or anything.

So a standard Trump supporter?
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 week ago:

I think a lot of people are waiting for the first Civ7 expansion pack to be released
I’m waiting for the last Civ7 expansion pack to be released.

They do make changes throughout the series, but every new game is a complete reset to a basic game so they can sell you all the DLC and expansions to make it into a full game.

I’ll pick up Civ 7 in a few years when I can get the full pack for a reasonable price. It’s the way Civ works.

Me too. It’s still the best and the most moddable.

Civ4 is the best Civ.

The internet did not invent the human anus.
No, but it showed it to me in full goatse glory.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
Absolute shit results run through an AI gives you even worse absolute shit.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 4 weeks ago:
Having a crypto reserve makes sense if you plan on tanking the economy and US dollar for profit.

I looked up the service tag (7YRPNS1) on Dell’s site.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 4 weeks ago:
The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation
There’s nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.

I like the comic, but that’s a mammoth not a mastodon.

Too bad he didn’t. It would’ve saved us Canadians a lot of work burning the White House again.
- Comment on Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn a 5-star safety rating in Europe | Euro NCAP will introduce new testing rules in 2026 requiring physical controls for the highest safety score 4 weeks ago:
I disagree. I don’t want to have to take my eyes off the road to change my music, or turn the volume up/down. They need to be physical buttons/knobs.

We already have distracted driving laws here. You can’t use electronic devices like phones while driving. How a giant iPad in the middle of your dashboard doesn’t count blows my mind.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 4 weeks ago:
That’s the thing that bothers me about all these companies now. My data is my data, not theirs. They shouldn’t even be allowed to collect it, let alone sell it or give it to anyone who wants it.

Just in case you needed another reason not to use Edge.

Driscoll’s are a US company. There’s a full shelf of those in our grocery store no one will touch. Go fuck yourself Trump.

CDs? They used to do it on tapes too.
- Comment on I love the future. 5 weeks ago:
No it’s not. It’s not too late to start resisting, but every day that ticks by makes it harder.
- Comment on let's goooooo 5 weeks ago:
Nature has rules, boundaries, and predetermined roles.
But that’s just not true. There’s no such thing as a predetermined role. That’s the whole process of evolution. Nothing is predetermined. Things move and change, often in ways that seem nonsensical at first. For example, many species have switched back and forth between carnivory and herbivory throughout their ancient history. And even today many animals which we call herbivores will take advantage of a quick snack of meat. Both deer and horses have been observed doing this.
If you start with a false statement, of course you’ll get a wacky conclusion.
- Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad 5 weeks ago:
They have different use cases. Notepad++ is for manipulating text, strings, and code. It’s got very powerful tools for it.
Word is for making things look pretty. You can change typefaces, fonts, size. You can add pictures and diagrams and arrange them on the page.
