This is so good. Congratulations.
- Comment on Ukraine Bans Telegram Use For State, Military Officials. 1 month ago:
I know nothing about cyber security, but it’s funny to me that depending on the time of day these comment sections either mostly criticize Telegram or mostly support it. I have no idea what to believe or whether it’s safe for me to use Telegram.
- Comment on Tesla recalls most Cybertrucks in US over windshield wiper, exterior trim issues 4 months ago:
No one’s questioning that you saw a Cybertruck, just that you actually said those things to the owner.

- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 6 months ago:
IMO Usenet is worth the cost. It’s a different process than torrenting, with some extra steps, but once you wrap your head around it it’s fairly simple. Depending on the indexer you use, Usenet can be much better organized and easier to find what you’re looking for.

Knives, the cutting implement? Not The Knife, the Swedish electronic band?
- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 9 months ago:
That’s a great conversation starter! “Hey, isn’t it interesting that talking about improving our working conditions is so offensive to the boss? Why do you think that is?”
If you’re interested in learning how to form a union at work, you can pick any big union and contact them with questions. It might help if they’re related to your field, but it’s not a requirement. I worked with the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) and they were incredibly supportive. Organizing a union at work is the best decision I’ve ever made.

Thank you for the explanation. I felt very out of the loop on this whole thread. I’ll look into pihole.
- Comment on Amazon Video Ad Push Seen Generating Extra $5 Billion in Revenue 10 months ago:
That MSN article has some numbers that don’t add up.
The news is that the streaming giant is accountable for over half of the 4.4 million subscriptions lost in Spain alone in recent months…
The analysis firm asserted that 1.6 million users have left the home of series like Stranger Things overall…
The online streaming service had reported that it had added nine million new users, bringing its total number of subscribers to 247.15 million, during the most recent fiscal disclosure of data.
Ignoring the fact that 1.6m isn’t “over half” of 4.4m, the last paragraph says that they added 9m new users. Am I reading this wrong?
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 10 months ago:
Well said. I’m not going to be a fairweather-ethical-decision-maker. Every time I make a right choice (and I decide what’s right for me) I’m rebelling against the machine of marketing and convenience. In fact, often the more inconvenient it is, the more confident I am in my decision.
- Comment on Spotify starts 'disinvesting' in France in response to new music-streaming tax 10 months ago:
I’ve been using Tidal for a couple years and I don’t miss Spotify ever. Same price, higher quality, and they don’t pollute my screen with endless recommendations.
- Comment on AI image training dataset found to include child sexual abuse imagery 11 months ago:
Man, it’s so disappointing that this joke, or some variation of it, is the top comment on so many news threads. What do you think you’re contributing?
- Comment on Hackers steal NFTs worth millions. In other news, NFTs worth millions. 11 months ago:
Is there any way to confirm this? Or are there examples of artists who made a significant amount of money from NFTs? I understand its potential benefit for artists, but I mostly remember already-rich corporations (e.g. UFC) using them as another way to extract money from consumers.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation calls on US Supreme Court to strike laws that threaten Wikipedia 11 months ago:
I donate frequently also. It pains me that people poke fun at Wikimedia or Jimmy Wales for their constant fundraising. It’s such a ubiquitous tool, it’s a miracle that it’s free.

About a year ago?
- Comment on Robinhood is cutting jobs, reorganizing teams, and focusing on credit cards to solve a shrinking user base, insiders say 1 year ago:
Anecdotally, and unfortunately, I’m the only person I know who stopped using Robinhood after the GME bullshit.

IRS: Guess how much you owe.
Me: $20,000?
IRS: Nope!
Me: Okay how much do I owe?
IRS: You have to guess!
- Comment on Are there any good shows that are shot like Euphoria? 1 year ago:
I agree with others than you could just… watch the rest of Euphoria. The others that come to mind are similarly dark and adult, and they’re all on HBO. I May Destroy You, some episodes of Succession. High Maintenance doesn’t look like Euphoria, but it has some very creative warm/glowing/tactile photography.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your favorite original movie of 2022? 1 year ago:
I know that for myself, when I get pressured to watch a certain movie, or see it in a certain context (in theaters, or all in one sitting, etc.) it makes me less motivated to watch it.
That said, I feel strongly that Everything Everywhere should be watched in one sitting, with as little distraction as possible. It’s so dense with energy and emotion and it’s an absolute joy. I had the privilege of seeing it in theaters when it was re-released, and it was an unforgettable experience.
