What’s the academic terminology for “go pound sand”?
- Comment on [rant] I want computers to become personal again 1 month ago:
30 years using Linux - most of that time as a Linux sysadmin. and this is unfortunately true. I got on the Apple ecosystem 20 years ago because I wanted to removed the sysadmin work from my non-work time and it does that quite well. I find most commercial technology to be a faustian bargain with my free time vs. my ethics.

It’s more a system of an abuse and profit than speficially “medical”. That anyone gets better is purely a marketing/sales feature.

Serving 4k video is not free
I couldn’t care less. I will block every advertisement in every form that is within my ability to block. If that causes the failure of Youtube, Google and the fall of western civilization in the process, so be it.
- Comment on Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare" 1 year ago:
The frustrating thing is that there’s no clear way to know exactly how much you’re exposing yourself with this. Even the article (and related links) don’t spell it out adequately (IMO).
For example, I just purchased a new(ish) 2022 Nissan. I don’t have the Nissan app on my phone and I don’t subscribe to any of their connectivity services. Is my data staying in the car or is it finding some conduit back to Nissan? Is connecting my phone to the console for music and maps opening me up to Nissan’s data collection? Is using bluetooth for music and hand-free calls exposing my data? Is there any way to know the specific avenues for data collection that present a risk and how can they be mitigated?
