- Comment on Non-Japanese Native Speakers: How long were you watching anime before you are comfortable with watching your first episode without subtitles? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve watched anime for decades at this point, but nope. I can pick out words here and there, but it would severely limit my enjoyment of anime. Subtitles allow my brain to skip most of the hard work when it comes to learning a language, I don’t believe it will get better even if this goes on for another decade.
I also feel if I suffered through a couple of months of non-subtitled watching and put in the effort to process, understand and memorize what I’m hearing, it might eventually get better. But as long as I have access to subtitles, I don’t do any of that…

- Comment on Google Restricts Android Sideloading—What It Means for User Autonomy and the Future of Mobile Freedom – Purism 5 weeks ago:
In Singapore, lots of boomers are downloading scam apps from facebook lured by promises of discounts and free gifts, handing out accessibility privileges, and they’ll even argue vehemently against loved ones or bank staff when being confronted. When it all inevitably blows up, they blame absolutely everyone except themselves, including praising Apple for some reason.
Being the largest voting block, they managed to get banks responsible for reimbursing their losses and there was even an idea floated of getting everyone to contribute to a shitty scam insurance fund. Many major banking apps are paranoid af and block usage from simple things like usb debugging turned on.
Absolutely stupidity. And there’s nothing we can do about it when the politicians love them so much.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 2 months ago:
He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it’s computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 2 months ago:
At this point, I’m wondering if I should set up a shell company of some kind, just to buy commercial digital signage TVs.
- Comment on When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally 4 months ago:
I bet it’s not the internet, just the social media apps. Why not just uninstall the apps or tell the participants not to use them?
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 5 months ago:
This is perhaps more useful, serving as both checksum and data correction.

Not that it can fit in the blockchain though. At least from what little I know about blockchains, they can’t possibly store any substantial amount of data.
