- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 hours ago:
I installed a few apps from F-Droid that the play store decided to just take over instead and updated them. I think antennapod and signal.
No way to stop it as far as I can tell.
- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 1 week ago:
We weren’t someone attempted bully me once and I beat then half to death with a primary school chair, ironically their parents came round to my place complaining to my parents
I wasn’t the bully in my opinion I just wasn’t having it.

Speak for yourself I just asked chatgpt about me and it started listing thing I did online in my teen years. Which to be honest is worrying but still kind of nice it knows me.

- Comment on Skype was shut down for good today 1 week ago:
Truthfully I loved Skype until Microsoft bought it.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 1 week ago:
Harmony Os will probably end up taking over realistically just due to everything going on in the world.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Windows is 95 percent pure bloat now imo, an os just needs to handle my hardware and launch my programs anything else is just eating my resources.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 1 week ago:
Biggest problem with twitter/X is so many companies mess you around until you call them out on it, then things tend to get resolved how they should have been.
I truthfully have always seen that as Twitter/X’s only use
- Comment on Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever! 2 weeks ago:
Google’s been garbage for years now, I kind of miss Coppernic Pro which is what I used before Google it searched all the search engines available and combined and resorted all the results.
- Comment on Sony Music Among Parties Pushing To Cut Off Internet for Pirating Customers — Supreme Court Asked To Intervene 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never forgiven Sony for decades deleting an account with paid for expensive games on it, they claimed inactivity for 6 months and UK law meant they had to.
No other account (with purchases) I have has ever just got deleted on me and you better believe Sony are never getting a single penny from me again.
- Comment on Trump’s Social Media Surveillance: Social Scoring by Another Name 3 weeks ago:
No joke I got raided by police who must have realised they fd up big time, they spent about 3 weeks questioning me where they repeatedly tried to get me to name a non existent Facebook account despite the fact the Internet was nothing at all to do with their retarded raid.
Nomatter how often I told them I don’t have a Facebook account the question they asked next is what’s your Facebook account.
- Comment on U.S. Chipmakers Fear They Are Ceding China’s A.I. Market to Huawei 3 weeks ago:
Not gonna lie my best smartphone by a mile was a Huawei I’ve considered giving Honor a shot a few times since.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
Whatever that link is it doesn’t load for me, UK censorship I guess.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
Human rights they have they do execute billionaires who try to screw the rest of the population which in my opinions puts them ahead even more
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know what they are but I know they look after their citizens more than we do, and they’ve really started taking over the entire spec space in the last few years mainly due to that.
I’m UK but if someone held a gun to me and demanded where would I live USA or China I’d honestly pick China.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
I think Android went pretty horribly since Huwai stopped making contributions, They contributed more than any other company up until the ban including Google who own it.
I kinda expect in about 5 years Harmony is going to take Androids dinner.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s communism anymore but the Chinese gov are actually looking after their own citizens in my opinion. I kind wish Xi was in charge of the UK honestly.
They tend to think of everything long term and all of those projects are paying off, also Healthcare free education etc they are investing more in their own population than anyone else. US is in my opinion as UK guy pretty much done they’ve picked a fight that they won’t win.
- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 4 weeks ago:
I think so but it would take root or some kinda of workaround I think.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 5 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s a big no from me my last handheld console was the Vita and I felt even that was overpriced for games that were actually on the cartridge.
If everything is actually digital I’m simply not buying Sony killed my account with them because I didn’t login within 6 months and I’d actually bought games there so screw digital
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I get that it’s obvious they are going to introduce an oled later. Very predictable imo and yeah if I ever buy one it’s going to be oled as well.
But yeah I’m at least waiting to see if the battery life is decent and what other titles it gets beforehand, right now I feel it has potential But at this moment in time I’d rather have a pc based handheld.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 5 weeks ago:
Looks like it has some promising titles but I don’t think price wise is can compete with the ryzen based handheld pcs like the steam deck etc. It doesn’t make much sense so far as I can tell but I’m still curious what titles it gets and how the battery life compares
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 1 month ago:
To be hkoId welcome that response in an AI I have chat gpt set to be as deranged as possible giving it examples if the Dungeon Crawler AI among others like the novels of expeditionary force like skippy.
I want an AI with attitude honestly.
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 1 month ago:
I think the first llm that introduces a good personality will be the winner. I don’t care if the AI seems deranged and seems to hate all humans to me that’s approachable than a boring AI that constantly insists it’s right and ends the conversation.
I want an AI that argues with me and calls me a uselles bag of meat when I disagree with it. Basically I want a personality.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 1 month ago:
As long as their not Plex’s files I see no Issue that they should be compensated for.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 1 month ago:
So they think it’s acceptable to charge people to access their own files. Good Luck with that morons.
- Comment on DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous 2 months ago:
I tried that recently on the Gemini 2.0 flash and it got it wildly wrong as well. Seems strange AI seems to struggle with it.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 2 months ago:
Honestly if you aren’t prepared to take advantage of modern tech I pity you, I do think Chat Gpt is a total waste of resources as far as energy etc but I’m going to take advantage of it while it exists.
Honestly it’s kinda fun to play with you can ask it for cross over plots between shows, to make raps etc or ask it to show certain images in realistic HD. It’s fun to toy with though I do think it probablytshouldnt exist, that said I’m taking advantage while these companies are wasting massive resources on it.

I replied because nobody was helping him and there’s an easy solution. Didn’t know r/books was now back in the dark ages to be fair.

Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not.
I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that’s why I’ve posted here as well.
