- Comment on Would you consider me a “dry texter”? 4 days ago:
No absolutely don’t use full stops for one word replies. It can come across as very rude.
- Comment on I would do this for just 1.99 6 days ago:
Which series how long ago?
I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I’m only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.
I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter.
- Comment on I would do this for just 1.99 6 days ago:
Most Dell latitudes and precisions also have a physical shutter.
I love that feature. It makes me more comfortable around the computer because no one can look at me without my consent.

Are you confident those are the same users?

Maybe Europe is a big place 🤔
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 1 week ago:
So it’s more useful as a video player than a YouTube replacement?

- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 weeks ago:
I was just making a joke about civ fans always dislike every civ game except their favorite.
- Comment on This is the first silent home wind turbine that destroys solar panels - 1500 kWh of free electricity 2 weeks ago:
1 500 kWh isn’t a lot but a mid to high range PC should be able to run for at least 1 500 hours per year on that. Which is slightly above 4 hours a day if you use it every single day.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 weeks ago:
They won’t. For some reason you are only allowed to like a single civ game and you must hate every sequent game.
- Comment on I'll have one war please 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, good luck even getting there. Haven’t they played plague Inc? Also their size would complicate things.
- Comment on Sweden starts building 100,000 year storage site for spent nuclear fuel 4 weeks ago:
It’s a lot harder to “build” an empire to last 1000 years while simultaneously going to war with everyone though.

Pretty sure they do this every year.

Yeah it would be pretty annoying if her active director domain changes that often.
- Comment on Doom on a CAPTCHA is the most frustrating though admittedly raddest way to prove your humanity to an algorithm 1 month ago:
I did it without camping. Only took like 4 tries.
Just run to the hole upfront that’s slightly to the left and shoot while running there.
I even managed to grab a shotgun.
- Comment on New social experiment 1 month ago:
It’s actually not really a “shortcut” it’s just an environmental variable.
- Comment on Ford’s X account calls Israel a ‘terrorist state’ in apparent hack incident 1 month ago:
Nazism is a specific fascist ideology though.
- Comment on Deadline to record historic footpaths to be scrapped 1 month ago:
You guys should get a right of way law.
We don’t have public paths like that because you are allowed to walk wherever you want except very close to people’s homes and in people’s gardens.
You are even allowed to walk across grazing fields actively being roamed by farm animals. You obviously have to close the gate behind you though.
- Comment on Brazil shuts BYD factory site over 'slavery' conditions 1 month ago:
Yeah, absolutely. They can’t simply shift all responsibility to someone else.

Why is anime often so incredibly sexualised?

Onionphobia I guess.
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 2 months ago:
I was implying that you do the actual singing verbally. Like actually saying the bits and bob, which would be pretty much impossible.
Of course you could sign voice messages. That would be like singing any other file.
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 2 months ago:
Of course you don’t verbally sign voice messages. That wouldn’t make any sense at all unless you are a robot or something.
It was just a joke. But if you wanted to authenticate something (like an email, or voice I guess) in a PKI you would sign it using your certificate private key and the CA would tell the recipient if it’s valid or not.

Seems a bit hard to verbally exchange keys and sign your speech though.

- Comment on Coca-Cola accused of quietly dropping its 25% reusable packaging target 2 months ago:
Plastic bottles are wildly recycled here. So at least that is good.
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank to charge customers $3 'withdrawal fee' to access their own cash 2 months ago:
My bank is one of the biggest in my country. They charge a flat rate of like 10-20 € a year normally (+ some extra fees for specific stuff like paying in foreign currencies) which I think is pretty reasonable.
Are the smaller banks in Australia completely free for all ages and with no fees?
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank to charge customers $3 'withdrawal fee' to access their own cash 2 months ago:
Huh, my bank is free until IIRC you are 25. You get a simple account with a debit card and a simple savings account (pretty sure you can make however many accounts you feel like for free after that). You also get access to the instant money transfer tool that everyone in my country uses (no fees whatsoever to use it either)
- Comment on Copilot PCs represent only a tiny fraction of laptop sales — compatible laptops accounted for less than 10% of total shipments in 3Q24 2 months ago:
They should just have advertised it as an ARM pc with better battery life.
