“See when I slap you in the face that’s actually a really nice thing of me to do. Because if I don’t slap you in the face I’d kick you in the groin really hard instead. Do you want to get kicked in the groin? No? That’s what I thought.”
- Comment on People will sell anything on FB marketplace 10 months ago:
I’m just not business savy enough to even understand the concept of this sale. So I’m not buying the building obviously. Also it seems like a regular post office. What am I actually spending half a million on here?

I invite everyone to have a critical look at the study. www.ascl.org.uk/ASCL/media/…/Safer-scrolling.pdf
Personally, they lost me on page 12.
- Comment on What happened to LineageOS? Has it been replaced by GrapheneOS? 1 year ago:
Most brands allow relocking bootloader. But after that you with be only able to use stock rom. Pixel lets you lock the bootloader with a different signature, so in this example you are basically able to lock it to only boot grapheneos and nothing else.

Lineage is not about providing a google free version of Android. It does not contain google apps, for licensing reasons, probably also to let the user choose. But it does not go further, all the other stuff like captive portal check, agps, dns etc still uses google servers. It’s not “degoogled” in any way. Love lineage btw but we need to be aware of what it is and isn’t.
- Comment on Google app being flagged as a virus by Huawei phones 1 year ago:
Sure but what does “enticing users to pay with adult content” mean?
- Comment on Will people respond better if you say you're teetotal, or straight edge? 1 year ago:
Ah so you found yourself in the old conundrum of not wanting to do drugs but also not wanting to seem boring, not cool and weak.
The solution is simple: just tell your friends that their drugs are shit and you are way more hardcore. Weed?! I mainline brown brown bitch.

Ah you are on of those antisemantics everyone keeps warning me about!
- Comment on Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL? 1 year ago:
Yes please and just call it what it is! “Brutal” and “sexual” feg. Because I for one work in a sex fight fetish porn production studio so to me all of this is very sfw.
- Comment on Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than bluetooth competitor. The us won't benefit from it for now 1 year ago:
This is not an issue of Bluetooth itself. Some audio devices include too large caches (because in the early days not having interrupted audio was a bigger deal than having video and audio synchronized), but you get Bluetooth audio devices just using the default SBC codec that don’t have any noticeable delay. Using codecs like aptx adaptive fully solves the problem.
The reason you don’t see BT gaming headsets is not latency, it’s Bluetooth missing a proper mode to submit audio in high quality bidirectionally. Long story short: when you got high quality sound on your headphones, the mic of your headset is not in use. When the mic is in use, the quality of the headphones is reduced to basically telephone call quality.
There have been technologies trying to work around that, most important would probably be faststream, but it never really caught on. It’s pretty
obscure still, you have to take care that all the devices and software you want to use support it, so I guess it’s just easier and cheaper to get a dedicated wireless gaming headset with dedicated USB dongle.At least since BT 5.0 I read stories that BT will be able to support gaming headsets aaaaany day now but well, nothing for now.
- Comment on India just landed on the Moon for less than it cost to make Interstellar | The Independent 1 year ago:
Yes and it’s incredibly annoying to me. More. Some houses cost more than Indian space agency spent on getting to the moon.
- Comment on All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU 1 year ago:
Passt those Brands are not your friends and might lie about their reasons to make batteries non-removable.
- Comment on The difference between equality, justice and equity. 1 year ago:
FIRST ONE WOULD BE REALLY NICE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO APPLES AND KNOW WHEN I WANT AN APPLE SO PROBABLY WOULD GIVE ME FREE APPLES. SECOND ONE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE TREES CANT GET PREGNANT SO THEY CAN NOT BE ABORTED EITHER. IF BEER WAS VODKA WE WOULD JUST WATER IT DOWN IF WE WANT A MILD BUZZ. IF GOD WAS A CHICKEN CHICKEN WOULD BE BETTER OFF.
