- Comment on LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in 2 days ago:
By the way, LibreOffice also supports OOXML, so… do with that what you want.
Yes, from the article:
LibreOffice currently handles ODF files perfectly and handles OOXML files better than Windows 365 and other software handle ODF files. Poor handling of ODF files “forces” users towards OOXML files, thus pushing them towards lock-in and protecting a business worth around $30 billion (because lock-in functions like a pair of handcuffs).
- Comment on Microsoft has etched palm-sized slabs of ordinary glass into data “books” capable of storing 4.8 terabytes — the equivalent of roughly 2M books or 200 4K movies 3 days ago:
Reminds me a bit of this older “breakthrough” petapixel.com/…/new-5d-disc-storage-can-store-500…
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 6 days ago:
Copilot steals from all the code on github.
- Comment on Rage for the machine? 1 week ago:
Sounds like a vague concept of a band idea, but not an actual plan yet. Maybe they should just call themselves Sybian.
- Comment on "I am going to punch you" WHAT A BOSS! 1 week ago:
Nope. Still means the same thing, describes the same people.
- Comment on When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives. 1 week ago:
I’ve had the opposite experience. Old people fart all the time and just don’t give a shit. Unless middle age is what you mean by “older”, in which case I agree.
- Comment on PROTIP 1 week ago:
Times, they have changed. I was the same, as were most of the people I went to school with. Pocket knifes are just handy, I still carry one most of the time.
- Comment on The US lost $35B in clean energy projects last year 1 week ago:
Thanks MAGAts and non-voters. Good job.
- Comment on Save as PDF 1 week ago:
What a great shitpost. Fueled a strong comment section. Well done!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
People pretending the US is still a country of laws. Cute, but depressing too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
As do the courts quite often.
- Comment on Hrmmm 2 weeks ago:
It’s all shooting, but the indoor galleries seem to make the concussive effects a bit worse.
- Comment on Hrmmm 2 weeks ago:
People should also be aware that shooting guns causes physical brain damage, so they should take that into consideration.
- Comment on 'No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed': Video From Olympics Blocked on X 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know that he’s dumb, but that makes him even worse.
- Comment on They wonder why nobody wants kids anymore. 2 weeks ago:
Back when I was a teacher, we could “donate” a number of sick days to a pool that would help other teachers who ended up with long term health issues. And yes, you are correct.
- Comment on Billie Eilish and "stolen land" 2 weeks ago:
I could be wrong, and I’m sure I’ll be pilloried if so, but I don’t think the ‘stolen land’ part is really the point of the statement. To me it’s more about pointing out the difference between ‘undocumented’ and ‘illegal’. In the same vein as ‘unhoused’ vs ‘homeless’. Or the classic ‘tomato’ vs ‘tomato’. To me it seems to get lost in pedantic weeds and I prefer the Shakespeare observation of a rose by any other name.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 3 weeks ago:
I see the shit that people send out, obvious LLM crap, and wonder how poor they must write to consider the LLM output worth something. And then wonder if the people consuming this LLM crap are OK with baseline mediocrity at best. And that’s not even getting into the ethical issues of using it.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You, and I, typing this, in a thread about non-standardization certainly blows a hole or two in your simple thinking. It’s weird to think of flexible thinking as simple. I would say I envy your rigid comprehension, but I don’t. It would be awful to be lost when someone says N Celsius instead of N Fahrenheit or vise versa. What a miserable, difficult way to try to make it through life.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
These threads always make me laugh. Maybe because of the way/where I was raised I really don’t care at all what anyone uses.

Cryofreezing
- Comment on What's it like living in 2? 4 weeks ago:
Looks like you’d have some good point breaks. Like legendary.
- Comment on Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads 4 weeks ago:
I am NOT a power user of my phone. That said, I’ve liked YAM Launcher for a while. It is minimalist and does everything I want in a launcher.
- Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware 4 weeks ago:
And I was suggesting that the middle class already pays a wealth tax as most of their wealth is in their home. I agree with OPs sentiment, but have it start above $5 million and have it pretty steeply progressive.
- Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware 5 weeks ago:
You’re probably right. I last read part of it for a class about 35 years ago, and I no longer trust my memory anyways.

I don’t remember it being that big of a book.

If you are in my state, it’s taxed via property tax.
- Comment on ICE arrested a Navajo man and dismissed all the proof he presented of his identity, claiming he faked it and that they'd "get his family next". 5 weeks ago:
Damn. So fucked he (and all the others) went through that. Fuck ICE, and the MAGAts.
- Comment on Pew! Pew! YouTuber Builds Sound Laser That Works as 'Invisible Speaker' 5 weeks ago:
I want something like that, but so small it fits in my phone, then I can say shit to my friends when they’re across the room.
- Comment on YSK: listening to audiobooks and reading books both activate the same language related areas of the brain 5 weeks ago:
I enjoy both ways, but I can’t grasp how people think they are the same.
- Comment on If you record yourself talking to someone and then watch the video... it feels very weird... like a bizzare out-of-body experience... 5 weeks ago:
I used to find myself kind of floating above the meeting or whatever I was in. Just observing, while also still participating. I wonder if that’s similar. I don’t think I’ve ever filmed myself talking to someone.
