- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 8 hours ago:
In 4 years, though, I can bet Vance would leave if he lost the election. He doesn’t have the spine or charisma to do any showboating and grandstanding like tRump.
- Comment on Grr Windows 2 weeks ago:
To turn away from the “go hard onto Linux,” tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WUB). I’ve been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don’t feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.
- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for running a great instance. No notes. Except it would be nice if you could set the limit on how long a proxies image remains available. It would be nice if there was a time limit that could be shortened based on time. Or a combination of the first and second option.

In jail without bond, currently.
- Comment on Ring just doubled the price of its alarm monitoring service for legacy customers 1 month ago:
Like why, though, is my thought. They’re Amazon. They don’t need the money and I can’t remember the last time I had to even set our alarm it’s contact anyone there for support. I’m really tired of having to dump products after having them setup and integrated. Fuck I hate this shit…
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 1 month ago:
The wealthy in this world are just like my 4yo, they just want instant gratification. No amount of justification or considerations matter when your soul purpose is to get as much as possible while you can and fuck everyone else! The race to the bottom continues!

Enough to make me never want to even attempt such a thing, myself! But I did know if the helium ratio stuff because of it, so it’s still educational content.

I’ve seen enough of YouTuber, Scary Interesting, to believe that either word would work!
- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 1 month ago:
Every day I turn on my LG TV, it wants an update. It’s been doing this for like 3 years now. Given the article, it won’t be getting that article any time soon!

Wonder if the cables replaced by OP were user-made, not commercial cables, that were our together incorrectly.

Other than Matthew banging all the models and the bassist getting help for alcoholism, I don’t know of any other news, other than they are fuckin rad!
- Comment on The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim? 4 months ago:
Why do you think everything sucks right now? The simulations ran out of resources long ago so no new ideas are created, just rehashing of already established ones. It’s why we have AI, but it can’t generate anything new or useful. It’s why we’re about to have a restart of World War 2 and The Cold War. It’s why movies that come out already are getting remade, but slightly worse than the original story.
People like to think that’s because capitalism only caters to the safe bets. But we know better! It’s really just the old Apple 2e that’s running the simulation(s) is low on resources!!
Now, where did I leave all that red string, pictures of Bigfoot and the Loc Ness monster, and thumbtacks?
- Comment on Games that stuck with you 4 months ago:
Gotta agree with others that mentioned The Outer Wilds. I haven’t stopped thinking about that game in some capacity since I played it and the second (part? Game? DLC?) about 6 months ago. I never looked up anything before or during play, but loved reading all about it after finishing them.
It bears repeating…Do not read/watch anything about this game online. The best way to experience it is through discovery and I wish I could wipe the experience from my memory just to experience it again!
- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 4 months ago:
And if a company makes a negligent decision, which kills a million people over time, why is no one being put on death row? They can and do have it both ways, but I can still wish for a just world where if companies are people, they can be put to death for mass casualties caused by their decisions.

- Comment on RIP Twitter Dot Com: Elon Musk Moves Social Network to X Web Address 5 months ago:
The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
And someone who’s part of a cult, or a significant other who is abused, will try to recruit people to their cause or downplay the violence or dig in deeper with their abusers.
Don’t get me wrong, those who perpetuate the hate on the conservative side are rat bastards who have no place in society. However, those on the consumption end have been programmed to think this way. Deprogramming takes a lot of time and requires the cult member to want to learn more and get out. However, forcefully removing a cult member will usually just push them back to the cult harder.
Either these Republican rubes die or start investing other sources of info, we have a long fight ahead of us, and that’s only if we can cut off the head of the snake and stop the cult at the top.

I don’t know for sure but if it started to suck after 1980, it was Reagan’s fault.

- Comment on What are the best indie games you've ever played? 7 months ago:
Interestingly enough, I did the same thing. When it launched, I was big into piracy and had a shitty job to pay for games with. Played until I could fly the ship, flew into the sky, then promptly control of my ship and didn’t touch it again for at least half a decade. So glad I bought it and played it without spoilers!

No other game has had the impact on my way of thinking more than Outer Wilds.

Voices sound lower and deeper when you speak since the source is so close to the receiver.
