- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 2 weeks ago:
The main difference is that nobody considers referring to Whoopi Goldberg as Caryn Elaine Johnson a hate crime.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
~25% of American adults are functionally illiterate
That ~25% of American adults is too dumb to deserve to vote. You should be able to show some kind of basic intelligence and common sense in order to have a say in how a country should be run – it should be based on merit. I even have a name for that: meritocracy!
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 weeks ago:
I consider them unnecessary layers of abstraction. Why do I need to fiddle with Docker Compose to install Immich, Vaultwarden etc.? Wouldn’t it be simpler if I could just run
sudo apt install immich vaultwarden, just like I can dosudo apt install qbittorrent-noxtoday? I don’t think there’s anything that prohibits them from running on the same bare metal, actually I think they’d both run as well as in Docker (if not better because of lack of overhead)! - Comment on The AI Therapist Epidemic: When Bots Replace Humans 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 4 weeks ago:
There probably were some ads in the past that might’ve (probably unintentionally) targeted people on the spectrum. The IBM Selectric ad from the 60’s instead of bullshitting about changing your lifestyle (like today’s car ads do) focuses on the product’s technological prowess.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 4 weeks ago:
Please no, just imagine the influx of 0-days
- Comment on Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality' 4 weeks ago:
Haven’t noticed that. It’s dead obvious that desktop PCs aren’t mobile at all, and mobility is what makes laptops laptops.
- Comment on Why the video of Charlie Kirk being shot was kept on social media platforms 5 weeks ago:
I couldn’t find the discussion on both talk pages (for personal article and the killing article)
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 weeks ago:
I’m upgrading to Debian 13 instead, since 13 is bigger number than 11 so obviously it’s better
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 1 month ago:
Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn’t matter. Remember memes like “Microsoft Office will now have Stories”?
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 1 month ago:
You guys still use MP3? Come on, Vorbis and Opus exist.
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 1 month ago:
multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE
So, there’s non-zero chance that they’ll resurrect Windows Phone and Cortana?

Ah yes, the shibboleet
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 4 months ago:
Buy some on-ears or (better yet) over-ears, still rocking my Sony WH-CH700N for almost 6 years. Can’t find a successor for them, CH710N and CH720N for unknown reasons got rid of aptX ;_;

You beat me to it
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 5 months ago:
No it doesn’t, not enough gradients
- Comment on Pegasus Spyware Targeted Over 1,200 WhatsApp Users, Court Documents Show 5 months ago:
I hope someone holds the entire NSO Group at gunpoint and leaks the Pegasus’s source code.
- Comment on Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues 5 months ago:
Not to mention PaperBack, it’s essentially making a backup for life.

- Comment on Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta 7 months ago:
Privacy Badger anyone?
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 7 months ago:
Skip & skim could also stem from the fact that this how a mind used to everpresent ads reads. It’s like an adblocker built into your brain.
- Comment on Google is on the Wrong Side of History. 8 months ago:
Socialism is cyanide and capitalism is cookies. The former will kill you instantly, the second one long-term (diabetes etc.) – what we’re looking for is fruit and vegetables, but for now I’m more than glad to eat some cookies.
