- Comment on Wafrn.net admins on age verification 2 weeks ago:
I thought it was quite clear. Verifying your age with an alcohol purchase receipt is a dumb idea for a large variety of reasons, including ease of acquiring one, ease of copying images, ease of printing one yourself and the cumulative ease of doing all this without an actual adult willingly involved in your scheme. It’s is not nearly as fool proof as verifying government ID.
Of course, I’m against all invasive forms of age verification. Doesn’t mean I’m going to advocate for a rally bad alternative either.
- Comment on Wafrn.net admins on age verification 2 weeks ago:
Much more so than passports or other identity documents. Come on, man, what point are you actually arguing here?
- Comment on Wafrn.net admins on age verification 2 weeks ago:
One requires an adult participant, one doesn’t.
- Comment on Wafrn.net admins on age verification 2 weeks ago:
You could probably pick up a receipt from alcohol purchase from the ground outside any liquor store…

8 don’t know where you live, but over here (European country) I can easily see 5 people on TikTok when I’m on the train.

Do you have some examples?
- Comment on Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever 2 months ago:
Just so you’re aware, it is very noticeable that you also used AI to help write this post and its use of language can throw a lot of people off.
Not to detract from your project, which looks cool!

A domain name is explicitly not property.

- Comment on SmartTube has been comprised 3 months ago:
There’s a lot unclear, but it seems that an actual compromised update was released on official infrastructure (and subsequently removed from some devices by Play Protect). A transparency statement from the developer is still forthcoming. I’m not risking anything, not even updating to the new app, until all the dust has settled.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 3 months ago:
Absolute bonkers speculation and it’s wild that it got as many upvotes as downvotes.
There’s not even a hint of a suggestion that these two things would be related and it’d be a pretty stupid move to pull. This doesn’t hinder ICE that much and massively hinders many people all around the globe. Want to hinder communications? You’d jam ICE radios, not my muffin recipe website, (some) fediverse instances, and thousands of other websites.
Go outside, breath some air, recalibrate. This level of obsession is not good for you and won’t help the good causes you want to help either.
- Comment on Adguard DNS: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today 4 months ago:
I’m guessing whoever is sending those letters snapshotted the CSAM on archive.today themselves to have leverage to take them down.
- Comment on OpenAI will allow mature content, including erotica, to verified adult users as of December 4 months ago:
Not just that, it also seems like the new nicotine, the new gambling. Some people are going to get absolutely hooked on this and not be able to stop.
- Comment on There are more blockbuster movies with real life sex predators as the main lead, than female leads 5 months ago:
I wonder if this could be proven with data.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 5 months ago:
I hate “Maybe later” even more
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 6 months ago:
It’s made by a machine and can be biased by its prompt, training, and owners political beliefs (see Elon’s Grok).

Jeez, will it never end?
- Comment on People were mad because they lost their AI boyfriend after GPT-4o deprecation 7 months ago:
The delusion these people share is so incredibly off-putting. As is their indignation that someone would dare to take away their “boyfriend”.
- Comment on Just a little... why not? 7 months ago:
Not just that, their responses are tweaked, fine tuned to give a more pleasing response by tweaking knobs no one truly understands. This is where AI gets its sycophantic streak from.
- Comment on 7 months ago:
What are their complaints about Mattermost? That might help.
- Comment on How would I repurpose a work laptop? 8 months ago:
Still, it’s probably worth going with either 7 or 10.
Also, if it’s registered with InTune (or whatever it’s called nowadays), it may be under company control even after a completely clean install. You can easily check though.
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 8 months ago:
It’s kinda fun to be living in a time where rockets regularly blow up again. Apart from, you know, everything else going on and not wanting astronauts to die.
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 9 months ago:
Weren’t they already together when they approached Donnie, and he thought it was part of a study he couldn’t tell her about? I think it was Paul who was fully in the know about what he was doing to Beth Childs.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 9 months ago:
I’d like that job. And poison that company’s data pool by using another company’s AI tools to create what they want.

- Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit 10 months ago:
I mean, releasing something physical means it has to be done. Remember what state Cyberpunk 2077 was in on release?

- Comment on Multi Tailscale tsnet.Server Funnels 11 months ago:
Sort of. Headscale is an OSS component that replaces the SAAS Tailscale component but it’s not a full replacement. It’s still pretty dang good though.
