Lots do. But do you know anyone that turns JS off anymore? Platforms don’t care if they miss the odd user for this - because almost no one will be missed.

- Comment on The Tech Baron Seeking to “Ethnically Cleanse” San Francisco 6 months ago:
By the beard, this is some next-level shit. Imagine listening to his jibber-jabber about Grays and thinking “that sounds like a good idea”?
This new “ruling CEO” class is bloody dangerous.

I recently discovered Obsidian - I use sync.com (free) and save my obsidian vault on my shared sync drive. Works like a charm, I can have it open on multiple devices.
- Comment on Desperate TikTok lobbying effort backfires on Capitol Hill 8 months ago:
Sounds like a backfire to me. Did you read the article? The lobbying was from TikTok to prevent the bill from passing, but it sounds like it just made the reps more committed to passing it.
- Comment on User guide: End of Life (EOL) for Twilio Authy Desktop app 9 months ago:
Aegis does as well. I haven’t looked at freeotp but the feature I liked about Aegis is there is no sync or recovery feature vulnerable to simjacking, like Authy was.
I wonder when they’ll improve the shit MFA they’ve got on their Sendgrid product… it was heavily tied to Authy.

A fellow Great Book of Grudges enthusiast! I too started writing mine early. I have not purchased anything Sony since they put rootkits on their CDs in 2005. Nothing. Fuck Sony. And anything Intuit makes for multiple reasons.
And I am absolutely passing The Great Book on to my kids. They know exactly why we don’t buy certain brands.

“Researchers say”
Researchers also say things they pulled out of their ass 90% of the time.

- Comment on Mozilla 2023 Annual Report: CEO pay skyrockets, while Firefox Marketshare nosedives 10 months ago:
How do rambling blog articles full of terrible assumptions and analysis like this get posted? Is there an alternative technology community I could sub to that cares about quality content?

I had to give my head an actual shake - this can’t be a real comment. A normal, sentient human would not produce a sentence like this unironically.
The only explanation I can come up with is the OP is a first-year economics student.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I’d rather use Edge than Chrome.
But basically screw everything except Firefox at this point!
- Comment on HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on multifunction printers when ink runs low 1 year ago:
Do people not know what “bricking” means? This article is about HP disabling features if the printer runs out of ink.
If they bricked it, it would be unrecoverably broken, never to function again.

Don’t worry everyone. The free market will take care of this for sure! Deregulated private companies always have the best interests of the consumers at heart!

Good. Fuck landlords, and especially Airbnb landlords. Hopefully other cities will follow suit.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
It’s not the quality of the show or the content that matters. Have you ever put a small child in front of the TV? It’s like turning their brains off. To be honest it’s quite startling.
It doesn’t matter if its “wholesome” content or not - there is a physical decreases of core brain activity as the child disengages from the world.
