Just a long deflation coming.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 1 week ago:
We are more than mere frogs in a pot though. We have made note of this. We outraged. We argued and counter argued. We will not forget so easily, no matter the view point on it.
If nothing comes of it, some of us can say “I’ve told you…”
If the next step gets implemented and the field becomes mandatory, some of us can say “See!! Froggies”
If it becomes mandatory and a further implementation also adds the framework to submit the data to some idp service, then we can get the pitchforks out.
- Comment on Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the Project 1 week ago:
ArchInstall seems to offer or install stuff that may be confusing for a new user though, such as installing the OS on LVM, enabling zram, zero swap allocated, etc
If I bothered to do it all over again, I’d likely go with manual install instead of ArchInstall.
- Comment on Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the Project 1 week ago:
It’s pretty hard to forget certificate renewal (most of the time there are plenty of reminders sent and warnings given)
Oh boy. Seems to be the opposite in real life. Especially when it comes to managing stored cert of businesses partners. It has gotten somewhat better now of course, but three years ago most of my company’s sev1 production issues were due to lapsing or unscheduled cert changes.

Over a hundred thousand years the ocean of distrust has eroded the cliffs of trust in a non-insignificant manner.

It’s complete crap. I don’t see coherence in the video. It’s all a thinly veiled thirst shit.

Stupid take. Cars are still a problem. And so is poverty and relegation of poor people to expensive and underserved transit. The problem is not cities.

The pronunciation is not thorn there.
- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 1 month ago:
I work in fintech, serving the US market. Fees are varying but not specific to AMEX/Discover/MC/Visa. There’s card fees and then there’s gateway and payments processor fees. Often this is cumulatively just a flat fee, like $3-4, which is why some places will have signs saying “$3 extra charge for CC purchases below $20”.

No response.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 month ago:
Hmm. Even when I was doing graveyard shifts with basically six hours of just me and my laptop during the dead of the night, my desktop was still more powerful than my gaming laptop.

- Comment on Solar is the new oil 2 months ago:
Look into flywheel energy storage. Fairly cheap to manufacture and made of inert materials that don’t damage the environment. Perfect for storing wind.
- Comment on Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking 2 months ago:
I ended up getting one that could still be used when plugged in via usb (micro heh), just like wireless mice.
But either way, the sound quality, no matter how hard it tries, is crap compared to a good analogue headset.
- Comment on Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking 2 months ago:
