  You’re my butterfly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lucy Letby: police and CPS handling of case raises new concerns about convictions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So if it gets that far, I wonder if she gets retrialed with a proper statistician to provide comment and different experts, or she is just acquitted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nationwide to launch mortgages at six times' income for first-time buyers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Current interest rates with six times my salary - not sure I could even afford the repayments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Letby shift data was scientifically worthless, statisticians warn⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I don’t know that she’s innocent, but there didn’t seem to be any hard evidence. It’s terrible for the parents to have this certainty over the deaths taken away, but I expect it will get overturned eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ofcom to ban inflation-linked mid-contract price rises on phones, pay-TV and broadband⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have the energy to jump through the hoops to get a deal, then great. I can’t face it. When I feel my current deal isn’t right, I just text the number, get the PAC, and disappear, and I love the freedom. I pay £6/month for 5GB and it’s more than enough for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ofcom to ban inflation-linked mid-contract price rises on phones, pay-TV and broadband⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weird how it even became a thing. At least I don’t remember it being a thing for my broadband contracts until a few years ago.

  Not you, silly. Like you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s still big in Japan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also let an add-on take care of this, e.g. ClearURLs or the “AdGuard URL Tracking Protection” filter in ublock

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you scroll to the bottom of bulbapedia, they have a “Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance” with links to other games’ wikis. Though for Zelda, I always find www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Main_Page to be the most useful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter/X removing the block feature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure he blocks people himself - I wonder if he’ll remove it from his own account too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it definitely did. Then they all broke suddenly. I even ditched firefox for a while because of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As everyone says, not surprising, and also it’s been predicted for years that the upgrade cycle for phones would become similar to that for laptops as the market matured.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  SSL is a higher layer thing, isn’t it? A VPN is just encapsulating an IP packet in another IP packet and getting it the tunnel endpoint. Unless the whole of the IP packet is encrypting, the service provider could just sniff your packets and block anything that looks like an IP packet in the outer packet payload?
