- Comment on GrapheneOS calls on privacy focused app developers to boycott European Unified Attestation 23 hours ago:
GOS’s argument over the attestation is that it’s essentially the same as Google’s system. It approves the devices themselves regardless of their security. An approved device isn’t more secure in any way just because it’s on the list. It’s just a way of arbitrarily excluding any OS that they don’t like while still allowing devices that are obsolete or behind on security updates.
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 days ago:
No, that’s just the sugar. Someone decided figs weren’t sweet enough and that they should add sugar to them.
- Comment on so cozy 🐟 2 days ago:
It literally stabbed him in the heart, which seems to me like an unlikely way to die to a stingray, but I’m no stingrayologist, so take that with a grain of salt.
- Comment on What's causing the Greek yoghurt shortage in Australian supermarkets? 4 days ago:
You can always make your own. You just need a spoonful to start the culture, and then you can just keep using the leftover from the last batch to start the next one. All it takes is milk.
- Comment on We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened 6 days ago:
Yes the word for cat is “chat” but the word for chat, in the online sense is also “chat” and it’s pronounced like the English word. It should also be capitalised because it’s a proper noun, eliminating the ambiguity that may exist.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 1 week ago:
IMO switching to Linux as a new user is no harder than switching from Windows to Mac, which I think is something more people can identify with and aren’t afraid of, for the most part.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
There’s nothing passive aggressive here. In fact, the entire message is quite direct in its message.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 2 weeks ago:
Those sellers post their stuff on every marketplace they can, and just fulfill it through their Amazon store. Ebay, Etsy, Walmart, Best Buy, etc, are all full of Amazon sellers.
- Comment on Chocolate kept in anti-theft boxes as retailers warn it's being stolen to order 2 weeks ago:
1 billion is still a lot of profit made on something that we require to live (not chocolate specifically, but food,) even if the margin is low.
And the companies making the products are also profiting.
- Comment on How does one country prepare to fight the other? With out spies? Like Iran is fortifying against a US strike. But how do they know what we will strike with and vice versa all thru history? 3 weeks ago:
Spies are so common all over the world, they called them diplomats and gave them their own offices.
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 3 weeks ago:
The SC has ruled that the president is immune to prosecution for any actions done in an official capacity. Now I’m not advocating for the assasination of the entire Supreme Court, but it apparently would be legal, along with a whole host of other unsavory things that could solve many of those issues.
- Comment on Great success. Apple for scale 4 weeks ago:
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree supports.
- Comment on Florida House Bill 1471, which broadens the definition of terrorist and calls for a domestic terrorist organization list, passed the Civil Justice and Claims Subcommittee by a vote of 14-3, 5 weeks ago:
This clearly identifies ICE and the DHS as domestic terrorist organizations.
- Comment on the public demands ANSWERS 1 month ago:
Are you reading the same thing I’m reading? Literally every search result describes shark skin as dermal denticles, or sharp tooth-like scales aligned from front to back, “relatively smooth” in one direction, and sandpaper-like in the other.
Apparently other animals regularly injured brushing up against them.
- Comment on the public demands ANSWERS 1 month ago:
In general, the crowns of dermal denticles have cusps pointing tailward, which is why a shark feels relatively smooth if stroked from head-to-tail but sandpapery coarse if stroked the other way.

It’s 5G either way
- Comment on Arc Raider's Headwinds update asks whether extra XP is enough to go solo in a group lobby 1 month ago:
Does anyone really care that much about XP? It already doesn’t take that long to hit the level cap. It might be a thing immediately after the expedition, but I don’t see it being a very popular option.
- Comment on LE TITS NOW 1 month ago:
It’s not that cold, just a little nipply.
- Comment on An ARC Raiders auction house would be "risky", but Embark are looking at a playable Speranza hub and an actual trading animation 1 month ago:
I feel like what the game really needs is an economy. Not necessarily like a player economy, but more in terms of what to do with your money.
Right now, you can buy tools and weapons, but you can also craft them, so why spend the money when you can spend materials and free up stash space instead?
I have a full stash and millions of coins that I never spend because I have no incentive to. I’m just accumulating money that I have no use for.
- Comment on Most mouse pointers designs assume right-handed users 1 month ago:
Keep wigling the mouse and eventually there’s nowhere the pointer can possibly hide from you.
- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 1 month ago:
Most Americans don’t own a passport in the first place.
- Comment on Steam Machine verification will have "fewer constraints" than Steam Deck - but text sizing worries me 1 month ago:
The text scaling has to be implemented in-game though, or the game has to have appropriately-sized text.
Some games have options to change the text size, which is great. Others have small text regardless of screen size.
- Comment on Steam Machine verification will have "fewer constraints" than Steam Deck - but text sizing worries me 1 month ago:
The issue is that the Steam Machine has good odds of being plugged into a TV 10 feet away rather than a monitor 2 feet away.
Small text on a 4k TV could be very hard to read.

The lights go out, and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against - Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing 1 month ago:
Why is they so uppity?
- Comment on Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy! 1 month ago:
The issue is not whether people are willing to do it, but whether they should be allowed to.
I can’t think of any situation where disallowing people from repairing their own property makes any sense. The only ones it makes sense to are the ones who profit from it.
- Comment on Researchers turn spoiled milk into 3D printing materials — extracted proteins from dairy waste combined with polymers to create plastic alternative 1 month ago:
No, you misunderstood. Milk combined with plastic makes an alternative to plastic. Easy mistake to make.

Santa lives at North Pole, Canada. Poatal code H0H 0H0. You can write him a letter and he will reply.
- Comment on What are some lower size games that work well on linux handhelds? 2 months ago:
DS feels slow and a bit clunky compared to Elden Ring, but it plays in the same way, except it’s more linear, and it’s not open world.
The weapon upgrade system is more tedious, as there are several types of upgrade materials and branching upgrade paths.
But overall, it’s still a solid game almost 15 years later.
- Comment on What are some lower size games that work well on linux handhelds? 2 months ago:
Dark Souls 8gb Raft 10gb Blasphemous 1 & 2 4gb each TMNT Splintered Fate 5gb it’s a weaker Hades, but still pretty fun. Megabonk 500mb
