- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 1 month ago:
That’s infuriating, I was going to recommend that. It gets cancelled because it doesn’t make money, but it saves so much money by preventing people from using a higher acuity of care than they need.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
Only if they, too, were willing to foot the bill for the arbitration fees. Hint: nobody else does that, they want the consumer to pay their own way to reduce filings. That’s what happened with Twitter’s severance filings, they got hit with millions in arbitration fees.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
It’s the usb-c of standards!

top/bottom, clearly.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
Speaking of Rare games, I was on track to 100% DK64 until my save corrupted on the final fairy. Never tried again, damn those bananas.

The hero we didn’t deserve.
- Comment on Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI 5 months ago:
I wish I had a decent explanation. But instead, I have Windows 11’s shiny new Taskbar configuration menu that politely warns me that showing seconds on the clock takes more power. Right under the “Show Copilot” button.
These fucks are fucked.
- Comment on Humans share the web equally with bots, report warns amid fears of ‘dead internet’ 6 months ago:
But what if I wanted to communicate with humans instead of propaganda-bots? Then yes, that Internet is dead, and there’s no real fucking reason to be on most of those sites.
- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 6 months ago:
I think an algorithm that sounds unprepared to deal with children is insufficient.

Where change is going, there won’t be civilization.

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on that one like three times now but I need more art supplies…
- Comment on Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown 8 months ago:
So we can either have secure cars or late stage capitalism? Sounds like a worthwhile trade.
- Comment on New Study Says Artificial Intelligence Still Too Costly To Replace Most Human Jobs 9 months ago:
That sounds like next quarter’s problem!
- Comment on You may want to wear sunglasses though 9 months ago:
Everything’s getting so complicated these days, they even added a fourth step: Stop, drop, Atoll, Atone.
- Comment on You may want to wear sunglasses though 9 months ago:
Not true! Shockwaves could carry parts for miles!
…Oh, I see what you mean.
- Comment on You may want to wear sunglasses though 9 months ago:
That’s the thing: people wouldn’t survive that. The only thing that could survive it is some sort of glassified sand immediately beneath the explosion. So sand dgaf, I guess?
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 9 months ago:
gave up playing their bread and butter game
Search was never Google’s money maker, that was AdWords. Search was merely the tool they used to get users in the door and exposed to AdWords, where they made their money. AdWords raked in ~100M/day in the early 2010s iirc.
- Comment on Looking for advice on a kid/tamper proof retro gaming experience 10 months ago:
[pyra-handheld.com](The Pyra Handheld) - Just buy a few extra SD cards and swap out the SD card with a working one after he breaks it.
- Comment on YouTube demonetizes public domain 'Steamboat Willie' video after copyright claim 10 months ago:
This is significant because this is the first time in the history of copyright bots that they’ve ever had to remove a work from the bot’s registry. Given how rarely it happens, the code to do that probably won’t even be worth the cost of writing for another decade or two: some guy at YouTube will just add a manual exception for that video. (And that’s assuming the best of intention and action from the copy-vio-bot sellers which is unlikely, given their existing behavior.)
- Comment on Pray for their safety 10 months ago:
If it hasn’t moved in two hours, we can probably assume it’s stopped.
- Comment on Reuters has taken down -- globally -- an important hacking-for-profit investigation that included details about an Indian hacking entrepreneur -- because he got a court in that country to say so. 10 months ago:
I think people mad at Reuters don’t realize that they’re intentionally invoking the Streisand Effect in this case. Otherwise I wouldn’t have heard anything about
confirmed scammer Rajat Khare covering up his scammy ways
- Comment on Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" 11 months ago:
Stealing is a crime that goes back to the 10 commandments, it’s old.
Not exactly. The original translation from Hebrew was closer to “thou shall not kidnap,” arresting control of a person’s personal boundaries and will, not a violation of personal property, which didn’t really exist as a concept at the time.
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 1 year ago:
Symmetric is the default but not required by the standard, so directionality is permitted if irregular.
