Let’s not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.
- Comment on Retailer denies memory replacement due to 4x increase in DDR5 pricing, says price increase would equate to an 'upgrade' for the customer — Australian retailer refuses to replace faulty Corsair kit 2 weeks ago:
The customer can choose a refund or replacement - its not up to the retailer. A refund would be of the original purchase price, so a replacement is a no brainer.

Immediately knew this was going to be Umart - they’re a bunch of cunts that treat their customers like trash.
The Australian Consumer Law states that the customer may choose a refund or replacement. This guy can raise it with ACCC and they’ll take then to court.

- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 3 weeks ago:
I’m in favour of hiring kids to figure out the solution through iteration and doing web searches etc. If they fuck up, then they learn and eventually become better at their job - maybe even becoming a Senior themselves eventually.
I get what you’re saying - Seniors are more likely to use the tools more effectively, but there are many cases of the AI not doing what its told. Its not repeatably consistent like a bash script.
People are better - always.

Bullshit, thats AI Photoshop. Nothing is real anymore
- Comment on Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol 4 weeks ago:
At least this time around we’ve got EVs as an option. Obviously if youre unable to afford a new car this doesn’t help, but its something.
- Comment on I Bought a Linux Phone in 2026 4 weeks ago:
No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.
- Comment on AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack 4 weeks ago:
Kind of. The best advice now is to use a password manager so you dont need to remember passwords at all - in which case just make it random with as many characters as allowed and youre done.
But for remembering passwords, the longer the better and replacing some letters with numbers and random characters is helpful too.

Wow, thats fucked. I hope Australia doesn’t decide to do this as well. This shit is happening so quickly at the moment

Maybe they’ll take their job more seriously now?
- Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 5 weeks ago:
The worst part is they are doing themselves a disservice by not rewriting it by hand - have they really learnt enough Rust to know how to effectively rewrite the other parts of the engine as they say? Doubtful - they’ll probably just do everything through AI stuff going forward.
- Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site 5 weeks ago:
No, you’ll only be able to access the internet on approved devices. Anything that isn’t under their full control will be disallowed.
- Comment on It should be a strict rule 5 weeks ago:
Yep, that’s it. Nothing in between.
- Comment on It should be a strict rule 5 weeks ago:
Probably because fields of grass are better than housing development? Which for the environment, is technically true

I have my phone running grapheneos set to automatiically switch off Bluetooth after not being used for 5 mins. Makes life easier for sure.

All very fair points. I guess I should reserve judgement.

Collabora has also released a desktop version. I’ve been giving it a go and its UI is pretty nice, but its still fairly buggy at the moment. Keeping an eye on it for sure.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 2 months ago:
Well yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.
