- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 3 weeks ago:
Because I was obviously unaware of the idiocy of the US justice system, and naively gave them the benefit of the doubt.
Under normal circumstances, it’d take Google about 3 years to stall the process of opening.
This will achieve nothing, and it would’ve been better for US consumers if my bold assumption had been correct.

Yeah, makes no sense - could it be that the poster isn’t native speaker and actually meant: “in the next three years”, implying that the criteria must be met within that timeframe…

- Comment on Apple to settle Apple Watch defect class action for $20 million. 3 weeks ago:
For these types of articles where the “info” is actually 1-2 sentences, 90% of the time I’ll rather read executive summary like yours.
Thanks! 🍻

Yep, was afraid of that. Sadly, not a solution for me then.
Thanks nevertheless! 🍻

I checked out Tailscale, and my 👀 popped when I realized what it does! 😄
I proceeded to install it on my phone, only to realize a moment later that my connection was down. I headed over to my Rethink DNS firewall and saw that Tailscale had taken over my VPN connection, causing Rethink to shut everything down (as it’s supposed to).
Now, unfortunately, I’m probably gonna find out that Tailscale works like this and that I cannot use it because I’d have to drop my firewall? 🙈

Just goes to show that even a legend can act like an idiot.

Even my taxi apps receive/lose location access automatically on open/close.

Good riddance. 🤷♂

No worries. Thanks for your input. 🍻

Same here. 😅
- Comment on Tesla, Warner Bros sued for using AI ripoff of iconic Blade Runner imagery, despite the producers having previously rejected any association between their iconic sci-fi movie and Musk or his companies 4 weeks ago:
If it wasn’t clear from my comment, I’m not defending Musk. Don’t care much about him.
I just don’t envy the judge that has to consider this. I’m a musician, and find it complicated to judge such issues in the musical landscape.

Ridiculous confession, as well as the article. “I should’ve burned more money, that would solve everything.”
There’s really a lecture material there. 😆

There’s a Reader mode in Firefox/Mull that you press before the page completely loads, i.e. before the wall appears. Works on most sites.

Yeah, don’t know what to think. Is this closer to copying a melody from a certain ballad or using the same chords that no-one owns and have been reused through decades to write a ballad… 🤔

Beer sounds good. 🍻
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 weeks ago:
Exactly - not enough to matter so not a lot.
Enthusiasts willing to get out of their comfort zone in whatever topic we choose are rare like kryptonite. The fact that you know 10 people, or a 1000 is by no means a lot considering the number of PC users.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, right. 🙄

So, experiences are different. My point exactly.

I, on the other hand, accidentally found the best job in my 14 year long career.
Not to say that I like this shit that’s happening. 🙄

- Comment on Kroger’s plans to roll out facial recognition at its grocery stores is attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could lead to surge pricing and put customers’ personal data at risk 4 weeks ago:
This is appalling.
So nice to live in the Balkans where prices are still on paper, and in some stores you can still barter depending on the quantity you’re buying. 😄
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
Like we had a secret (or not so secret) desire for it to crumble so we can crack a beer and say good riddance. 😁
But in the end, business mostly as usual.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
Exactly. Really incomprehensible why are some people amazed at some things. We’re all different, with different motives, different needs, different levels of coziness and different views on privacy etc.
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 4 weeks ago:
Good metaphor.
