Wayne was my first thought, definitely his style.
- Comment on There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic. 2 days ago:
We’re really sowwy
- Comment on FBI opens inquiry into 764, online group that sexually exploits and encourages minors to self-harm 6 days ago:
That seems like a good thing to inquire about. Disappointed that when I hear about the FBI now I assume they are up to no good.

Pocket sand!

Thanks, that’s a good tip!

If you have a server running, I wouldn’t buy more hardware. They have good example documentation for just such a configuration:
If your server already has those ports bound (specifically the DNS port 53) you are going to have to get creative; otherwise it’ll work well!
If not a cheapo pi 3 works, just so long as it is always on.

How about multi level parking garages teeming with algae?
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
Teams crashed on me today too! It’s great because it was a meeting with external people, so I had to sit in the waiting room in shame until one of them let me back in.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
I think he’s trying to say that their AI writes code good enough for Microsoft. Which is a message to other business leaders that your company too can benefit from copilot, just hand over your credit card!
Microsoft has absolutely gotten worse in the consumer space, but that isn’t really their business these days.
- Comment on Sony Music Among Parties Pushing To Cut Off Internet for Pirating Customers — Supreme Court Asked To Intervene 3 weeks ago:
Spectrum had a policy like this at one point. They’d shut you off after a couple of instances of p2p that were reported. Afterwards, they directed you into a captive portal with some plausible deniability where you had to say “I don’t know what happened, but it won’t happen again”.
Nowadays they just send you an email but don’t restrict access.
Either way the Internet isn’t too safe, protect yourself with at least a VPN.

Give it a week.
- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 1 month ago:
This reminds me of the people that say they are anti-antifa.
"Anti-propaganda aims to undermine the effectiveness of propaganda by exposing its manipulative tactics, providing alternative perspectives, or offering factual information to counter biased claims.
I’d pick my battles and try to address the most harmful lines of thought first. Like anything medical for example. Deprogramming is a popular topic online so there are some resources out there.
Best of luck, it’ll be difficult until you find a foothold.

Just determining the requirements would be a nightmare.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 1 month ago:
I’ve worked on teams converting legacy code for most of my life. The planning for something like this would take longer than six months.
If this proceeds in Trump’s corrupt government, Elon will get the contact, will claim it is too broken to salvage, and will privatize it. The only way this goes anywhere is if Trump and musk stand to gain money, and they stand to gain a lot.

I want to use VoIP to dial into a BBS to play some legend of the red dragon.

I feel lied to and taken advantage of. Nicole, I thought we were pals!?

I just got one the other day too! I’m very excited to make new friends like Nicole on this website.
- Comment on One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study 2 months ago:
Those numbers seem really high. I live in a city with a lot of gun violence; I hear gunshots weekly, but I have never witnessed a shooting of another person. I have seen videos of local gun violence online and in the news, but I have a hard time believing it is that prevalent.

I just want a good bun and a line of mustard.
- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 3 months ago:
It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.
- Comment on Greenland | Poll: 85% of Greenlanders do not want to be part of the US 3 months ago:
I’m smack dab in the middle of the US and I don’t want to be part of it, currently.

I’m no greek scholar, but I don’t believe navigating a system of middle-man bean counters was what they had in mind.
- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 3 months ago:
I would never sign up for this or install the app, but it is a good way to broach the topic of privacy laws.

He’ll die much sooner than facing any consequences for any of his actions
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 4 months ago:
Personally I’d find another job first. Once that is secure I’d plan my exit.
If your company does exit interviews I’d be frank and honest about your reasons for leaving. Consider having a quick outline prepared of what you want to tell them. I don’t burn bridges on my way out when possible, but if you can articulate your problems well it might help the next person.

Shit
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 4 months ago:
A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn’t brought in or tampered with.
