• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Duck duck go needs a lot of work to replace Google search.

  I’ve used it for years but often I still get the shits and just bring Google up after duck duck go fails to find what I’m looking for.

  Seems pretty easy to control though.

  Once spammer is detected, you just ban them and the account that invited, all the way up a down that invite tree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Twitter made a small profit in 2018 and 2019. They lost money in every other year.

  In fact the year before Musk started ranting about buying it, they reported their biggest loss ever.

  The company was a disaster before and after Musk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if public transit was like Uber? A small city ended its bus service to find out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I lived in a town with 50k back in the 90s. I don’t remember there ever being a bus service except for the school buses.

  The town was pretty massive though. Half the town was on a plateau as well so you had to walk up a pretty huge hill to get to half of it.

  There was quite a few taxi’s driving people around.

  Maybe there was a bus that I never used and can’t remember. As a kid I rode everywhere. That hill was a son of a bitch though.

  I don’t see any of this. It’s probably because I ran christitus.com/windows-tool/ right after install.

  I think it disables all the annoying parts of windows and you just get left with a stable OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one really understands our struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All the renter’s calling for the heads of the upper middle class property owners.

  Stop coming after us. We already pay the most tax and get the least benefits from the tax.

  We don’t get all the offsets the millionaires get, and we don’t get the handouts the poor get.

  We just get gouged everywhere. We don’t know enough to invest in anything other than housing.

  Stop coming after us. We aren’t the problem.

  For example, how do I have the best experience gaming… Switch to Linux… Oh ಠ_ಠ

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can't be as innovative or get to know each other on Zoom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can. Have a meeting in Citrix and I happily work while people yabber on in the background.

  The real killer is the face to face meetings. My group supervisor now demands anyone in the office on a particular day go into his office for the team meeting. That’s a real time waster.

  People online can’t hear us properly standing around in his office. Can’t get work done while standing in there.

  Just let me work from home so I don’t have a bunch of people wander over to me to ask stupid questions during the day.

  If you want something send me an email and I’ll get to it when I have time. Walking into my space, making me take my noise cancelling headphones off so you can yabber at me and break my concentration is so annoying.

  I’m untouchable at home. I work until I need a break, then quickly sort questions and queries, then get back into my groove for another hour or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t argue with you. The reasons given to give up on brave is because the CEO doesn’t have appropriate ideological view and because of its crypto system value being volatile.

  Wooptydo.

  I don’t agree with the CEOs point of view on gay marriage but I’m not ceasing to use a decent browser because of it

  The crypto thing is irrelevant to me.
