- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 weeks ago:
Congress hasn’t passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.
- Comment on Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump 3 weeks ago:

He knows the words.
- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 4 weeks ago:
Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.
- Comment on We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm 5 weeks ago:
That’s exactly how tariffs work. It’s always been how tariffs work. No company is going to lower profits if they don’t have to.
- Comment on Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes 5 weeks ago:
There’s no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 5 weeks ago:
My theory is the people making the decisions don’t actually use the products they make and have no idea what it’s like to use them. They hear that another site is using AI, for instance, and decide their own site needs to use AI. But they don’t understand what AI does or why they should/shouldn’t use it, only that they have to have it. Boom, enshittification.
- Comment on The pannotype mystery: cracking the code of a forgotten photographic process. 1 month ago:
The looks like an interesting process. It would cool to see someone create new ones but it won’t be simple given the requirements.
- Comment on Sen. Schumer: 'My Job is to Keep the Left Pro-Israel' 1 month ago:
His job is to represent the people of NY in the Senate.
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 1 month ago:
Every little bit helps.

That’s a sad looking pizza roll. Geno is crying right now.
- Comment on Meta will roll out its AI chatbot with text-only features in the EU this week on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, nearly a year after pausing. 1 month ago:
Nobody in the entire world wants this but Zuck. Nobody.

The majority of those responsible for that are dead and it shows.
- Comment on Battery tech really does move fast 2 months ago:
At first, I was concerned about that much energy in such a small package.
Now I’m afraid of that giant hand.
- Comment on Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg 2 months ago:
There’s no reason to expect this to succeed, but I put my name on the list to be notified when it launches. We’ll see, I guess.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 2 months ago:
Test-driving them both now.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 2 months ago:
I had a feeling this would happen. I have to use Google services for a lot of things at work and Edge works fine with them. Firefox usually does okay, but not always. And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.
Can any Chromium-based browser refuse to turn on V3 or is it too baked-in without forking the entire project?
- Comment on fish roast 2 months ago:
It’s not like the bony-eared assfish is going to clap back, not with the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of all known vertebrates.
- Comment on Is anyone else getting a bit of schadenfreude from the news each day? 2 months ago:
I think it’s difficult to avoid feeling that way. Part of me feels bad about it because I know the other side would be laughing their asses off if we were the ones feeling betrayed. But now is not the time to gloat, there’s too much we have to do to fight this as best we can.
- Comment on Apple withdraws cloud encryption service from UK after government order 2 months ago:
Governmental advocates for mandatory backdoors have no clue that they effectively make encryption moot. UK users will only be silghtly less secure with no encryption vs. backdoored encryption.
- Comment on Rate my breakfast 2 months ago:
Sad, but understandable.
- Comment on The New York Times will let reporters use AI tools while its lawyers litigate AI tools. 2 months ago:
Honestly, the reporting in the NYT already feels like it’s written by AI, AI that was trained on bland, non-confrontational writing. In any case, this is tantamount to training your replacement. How long will they keep human reporters on the payroll once AI is doing the work?
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 2 months ago:
Free Speech Absolutist 🤣

It’s been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.
