- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 1 day ago:
Awesome post. As a former IT person who has worn many other hats over the years, I couldn’t agree with you more.
- Comment on App development 6 days ago:
The word you should have used is “confusing.”
What the fuck is your first comment even supposed to mean?
- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 1 week ago:
In my experience, when you get an over-the-top response from someone from a sh.itjust.works users, the best response it to just block them.
- Comment on And they say English is bad 1 week ago:
I require elaboration.
- Comment on I built a table for my porch 1 week ago:
That’s really nice work, you should be proud of it!
- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 5 weeks ago:
You’re an idiot.
- Comment on Online Content Is Disappearing 1 month ago:
Ugh!
The worst part is, after wasting a bunch of time tracking down the correct Discord server to ask a question about a piece of software, you generally get lambasted by the “regulars” of that server to “just use the search feature, that’s what it’s for!”
Yeah, no. I don’t want to wade through a reverse chronology of a bunch of conflicting back-and-forth conversations - just gimme a FAQ or some actually documentation!!!
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
this whole thread is about the general dislike of vegans and veganism
I would suggest that the entire premise of this post is invalid then, as it begs the question. First, prove to me that there is a general dislike of all vegans/veganism. I’d be willing to bet it’s a LOT more “dislike of preachy/smug vegans.”
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 2 months ago:
I’m still so bummed about EVGA leaving the graphics card market! My 2070 super still runs fine, thankfully, but it’s getting a bit long in the tooth.
- Comment on WHERE ARE YOUR COSHH FORMS, MR. FREEZE?? 2 months ago:
It’s kinda funny, the hills people choose. I’m over here, stuck defending the original meaning of literally. Best of luck to you, fellow curmudgeon. :-)
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 2 months ago:
Did they hit you with the one that even monitors the IP you’re coming from, so even a completely new email address won’t let you create a new account? That’s what forced me to migrate here about a year ago!
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 2 months ago:
Damn, now I feel kinda dumb. I should have been able to work that out from what I already knew. Thanks for responding!
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 2 months ago:
WTF acronym are you talking about? I’ve encountered the PICNIC variant of PEBKAC a few times, but never POCNOT. DDG was unhelpful in this regard.
- Comment on Uncle brian... I get you now 2 months ago:
As an Uncle Brian who keeps his distance… I hope my niblings make this realization sooner rather than later.
- Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity 2 months ago:
What the heck did you do to get blocked by Medium.com?!?
- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 2 months ago:
That whole joke doesn’t quite hit the same way, now that we know he’s actually a mentally unwell self-hating man.
- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 2 months ago:
Wow, I had to check it out myself and you are not wrong! WTF was the editor of that video thinking? It starts fine and then becomes like a nightmare of overlapping audio streams.
- Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌ 3 months ago:
That’s a bold stance on this site!
(One that I fully agree with)
- Comment on Elon Tusk 3 months ago:
Oh, you sweet summer child.
- Comment on For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider. 4 months ago:
I did something similar… then, in a moment of weakness, I tried to go back one more time. Apparently, I was really banned the last time. As in: even using a brand new email address didn’t fool them, I needed to use a VPN to even create an account. The juice just ain’t worth the squeeze anymore, so that’s the end of that.
- Comment on Christians think gay people are trying to convert them to being gay *because Christians try to convert people to being Christian*. 4 months ago:
So… the Catholic Church, well known for traveling the world to shove Jesus down everyone’s throats, is an American institution now? Got it.
- Comment on Spotify just changed TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks 4 months ago:
“Now I want that of the dog framed and hanging in my house.”
Are ya sure your brain didn’t skip a few more words?
;-P
- Comment on You can remove or disable Windows 11 and 10's AI 'bloat' with new BloatynosyAI 4 months ago:
Hopefully, that includes the downvote parade you’re getting for being insufferable.
- Comment on Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” 4 months ago:
I fear we are rapidly approaching (or have already reached) the point where the definition of “begs the question” is going to be changed to include “raises the question,” much the same way “literally” now also means “not literally.”
I am not pleased by this development, but I was also not consulted.
- Comment on YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave 5 months ago:
Not the person you replied to, but I just searched for “User-Agent changer” and then installed the Firefox extension that it found. When I set it to pretend to be Windows/Chrome my Youtube tabs went back to snappy and responsive.

- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 5 months ago:
Clearly, you arrived after the Eternal September.
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 6 months ago:
Do you mean the network of collagen fibers and fluid-filled spaces that underlies the skin and surrounds the gut, muscles, and blood vessels? Calling that an “organ” is a ginormous stretch.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 6 months ago:
Dudebro, seriously, go back to Reddit.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 6 months ago:
“Boost for Lemmy” I learned a thing existed today, that I was unaware of yesterday. Thank you for that!
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 6 months ago:
I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.
