- Comment on I created a board game alternative for evil people 12 hours ago:
Biometrics are one thing, why does this need read/write to external storage and settings, and system alert permissions?
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 day ago:
Most consumer internet providers have clauses in their agreements which prohibit things like hosting a website, or serving content. Both of which are things done pretty regularly by hobby level selfhosters.
Now, I’ve never actually heard of an ISP actioning on such clauses, but they are there none the less.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 3 days ago:
I’d think the place most people use VPN is public wifi, unless they are utilizing workplace VPN.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 3 days ago:
Partial context is a bitch.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 3 days ago:
More like a corrupt traffic cop. There are reasons you might want this kind of functionality, which is why it exists. Normally you can trust the cop (DHCP server) but in this case the cop has decided to send everyone from all streets down to the docks.
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 3 days ago:
They likely can’t even charge you at this point so I’d give up. They’ll do something like ask you to return them, at most. And what will likely happen is they will say “just keep them.”
- Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) 3 days ago:
I “blocked” hexbear, because a mod didn’t take the time to use their brain, labeled me a “pedophile apologist” and banned me from the entire instance. If they moderate based on “I don’t care what actually happened, I’m mad” then I’m not going to bother interacting with them.

Wait for real? Free seeds? That’s rad!
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 4 days ago:
Huh? You’re getting your money back? I’ve rented things from Home Depot and there’s a security deposit you get back, but you still pay to actually rent the tool.
- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 5 days ago:
You’re giving no information other than “switch”, I’m trying to prompt you to give an actual critique, and what you like about it that would get people to switch.
- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 5 days ago:
Why?

Boeing whistleblowers and untimely deaths.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 5 days ago:
Isn’t there a 100% correlation rate previous to these 10?
- Comment on Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson 6 days ago:
If you need a tank, and have no money for a tank, you don’t magically get “tank money” when someone gives you a free tank…
- Comment on Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson 6 days ago:
Agreed, and I was overly simplifying for brevity. Though it’s still not us just handing them billions of dollars to do whatever they want.
I’m definitely going to keep that article handy though, I appreciate the link.
- Comment on Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson 6 days ago:
We are sending them old equipment, and spending the “money” on replacing that old equipment with new equipment.
In fact, it’s great for the US. Get rid of old stuff, get new stuff in its place, create jobs and stimulate the economy in the process. It’s win win win.
Apart from the fact that the US spends way too fucking much on military, but it was going to happen regardless
- Comment on Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson 6 days ago:
Countries don’t normally outsource foreign ministry work, but I suppose you never know.
- Comment on Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson 6 days ago:
You realize we haven’t given them actual money, right?
And I doubt they are paying OpenAI with tanks.
- Comment on FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks 1 week ago:
They likely sold barely any of them. They were nigh impossible to get during the pandemic, and virtually no one wanted them after the fact.

(Shhh they can’t see inside brackets yet, they try to parse it and fail)
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
Oof dude. Hope you get some help because these are not normal responses to everyday things. That’s just not healthy.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
Oof if that’s the case I legit feel bad for my last response to them…
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
You mad bro?
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
… you really decided doubling down on the nonsense was going to disprove my statement?
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
This reads like an AI hallucination.
- Comment on Terrifying reality of what airport security could actually see through an X-ray machine 1 week ago:
The security is pretty much theatre. Anyone who isn’t an idiot acting on a whim will be able to get anything (within reason) they want past security and onto a plane.
Take a look at the stats on the number of incidents airport security has actually stopped. You see a whole bunch of “airport security stopped this number of guns/knives/etc” but 99.999999% of them were just people forgetting them in the wrong bag.
Hell, I brought a knife onto a plane at least a half dozen times by accident, only realizing when the knife I lost months before fell out at a hotel.
- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 1 week ago:
On iOS just rapidly press the power button five times and it enters its lockdown state.
- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 1 week ago:
“I’ve had worse jobs, and my current job is unrealistically laid back for the field being talked about. Everyone else is a baby.”
This is what you sound like.
Here’s a thought: Different people have different experiences in similar jobs.
Here’s another: Different people experience things differently, because they are different people.
- Comment on Introducing selfh.st/companions, a Directory of Companion Apps for Self-Hosted Software 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, last update isn’t the end all be all. If the project is in a stable place, and there haven’t been any breaking changes, there’s just no need to update.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
As a software developer, I don’t understand the premise of your suggestion.
