- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 3 days ago:
I hated them as a kid because they were uncomfortable and didn’t fit right. My mom made is wear it but I used to put the chest belt behind my back as soon as she turned around because it dug into my neck. I probably should have been in a car seat for way longer than I was. As an adult I don’t even notice it.

- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 4 days ago:
Not if they can’t figure out the peripherals. The only thing missing with the laptop is the dual display. Having to drag around a whole keyboard, mouse, PC, and power bank like that is a lateral move at best. You could probably do what he’s doing with a laptop and it would still be just as if not more compact.

My whole desk setup now easily fits into a backpack and I can take it anywhere
My laptop easily fits in a backpack. Hell I can fit TWO laptops in my backpack.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 5 days ago:
Yea, it is a complicated issue, but at least the current way offers the little guys some protection. I’ve posted everything I’ve ever made (not that any of it was all that impressive) freely so it doesn’t really matter to me but for some people it may.

It’s an illusion because no one would ever really say that.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 5 days ago:
This is going to be used corporations to take away everything from individuals who are innovating (more than they already are). Nobody will be able to build wealth off a good idea again. Which if we were in a society where wealth wasn’t required to live a good life I would be okay with, but we aren’t, so I’m not.

That was one of the scariest episodes for me as a kid. That one and the one with “return the slab”
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
For me it’s not intentional. I get fixated on one of the questions that require more mental energy than the others and then forget to answer the rest. I have no excuses. My bad.

Well if it’s funded by taxes they can scale down. That’s the nice thing about everyone chipping in. If less is needed just take less. It’s not like a business that needs to turn a profit.

shocking
What is it actually fair and restrained or something? That’s about the only thing that would actually shocking at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they were actually electrocuting people.

Yea, I had a throwaway account already to use for the login so I didn’t bother trying it. They still managed to make it annoying even when I did it their way and agreed it is horseshit.

Agreed.

I DID forget about that. Thanks for reminding me I need to figure out how to opt out (assuming it’s even possible).

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
Yea just set up a windows 11 pc for the first time and the experience was basically:
It forces you into making a Microsoft account or log in with one, then it told me mine was locked even though I was able to log in fine elsewhere. I had to use the alternate log in method to get in (I know you can make a local account but I already had one set up for this).
Then it tries to force you to “back up from your old pc” which this was an entirely different system so I’m not even sure why I would want that.
Then it tries to convince you to send them a bunch of telemetry while reminding you that you’ll still get ads if you don’t, they just won’t be targeted towards you.
Then it tries to push microsoft office on you.
Then it needs to do updates which took like 45 minutes.
Then you’re finally at the desktop where you get probably half a dozen othe pop ups between windows and the vendor.
Then it’s “usable”
By comparison Bazzite took like 20 minutes to get to a usable desktop and isn’t nagging me about ads at all. I have a laundry list of things still to figure out but so far way less annoying.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
Just bought a laptop and put bazzite on it to try it out and figure out if I can do all the things I want to do on it. If that all works out I’ll be switching my desktop over.

It’s saying sometimes people need to hear something that will hurt them in order to get better. Which is true but a lot of people take that as a green light to be an asshole when they find someone who is “wrong”.
- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 2 weeks ago:
I use frozen berries to flavor my proats. They cancel out the weird tang from the protein powder. So far the only thing I’ve found that works and healthier than sugar anyway.

Not at Applebees. That place is terrible. I’d rather eat McDonald’s.

- Comment on Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim. 2 weeks ago:
Unless the formula came from something that already existed that both Trumps people and these models are referencing to come up with the same number.

But that doesn’t confirm or deny that Trumps formula came from ChatGPT, they could both be drawing from some other source.

That bothers me too. Get an actual expert source to verify before you publish shit from randos on Twitter and Reddit.
