- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that. Abolishing IP laws won’t fix capitalism.
There are other solutions for that. Most of them as unrealistic as abolishing IP laws. But we could try universal basic income as a stopgap.

Have you considered that the problem of not being able to create art for recreational purposes without thinking about its monetary value is the actual issue here?
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
You’re right. As we all know people only started to create art after IP laws where established.
Nobody ever made something original just for the joy of it. It’s only fair that a single company has the exclusive rights on a pants-wearing mouse that looks a certain way for 95 years.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Nobody does anything anymore and we’ll all just die. Gotcha.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
I’m fully in favour of abolishing IP law for everyone, ideally globally.
Public domain everything.

Where do you think Samsung phones are made and by whom?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
It’s also at around the same price point in Japan and Europe. I don’t think the tarriffs had n effect on the price.
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 4 weeks ago:
I guess most people who want to use a domain as their username aready have that domain.
- Comment on Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices. 1 month ago:
It ain’t so.
To use the “backdoor” an attacker needs to have full access to the esp32 powered device already.
It’s like claiming that being able to leave your desk without locking your PC is a backdoor in your OS.
- Comment on Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices 1 month ago:
You can use an online tool to look up the Bluetooth [1] or Wifi [2] MAC of the device. If it’s espressive you’ve got one of their chips. That doesn’t guerantee that it’s not one of the others they make. You can also open up the device and look for the esp32. They almost always look the same with their metal can ontop.
The risk has been estimated as 0.3 out of 10
Don’t worry about it.

- Comment on Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices 1 month ago:
Someone correct me if i’m wrong, but it looks like it’s not the big deal the original blog post makes it out to be.
To issue those undocumented HCI commands one either needs to hijack a computer/soc/mcu that is connected to an esp32 with HCI UART transport enabled or put malicious software on the esp itself.
The mac spoofing might be interesting for people building hacking tool, however.
- Comment on Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks 1 month ago:
Just pick one of the many registrars and server hosts that don’t care about takedown requests and host a website with them.
That way it stays more accessible to everyone.
- Comment on Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks 1 month ago:
I agree in principle but using Tor won’t affect DMCA takedowns.
- Comment on Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing 2 months ago:
I want there to be a setting.
Sometimes the context of a missing message in a group chat is important.
- Comment on Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Migrating to WordPress now is an interesting choice, considering all the drama they’re in right now.
- Comment on Brave now lets you inject custom JavaScript to tweak websites 2 months ago:
Care to elaborate?
- Comment on If Kodak came back with a Camera tomorrow, what would you be awaiting from a company like them? 2 months ago:
What I expect: Having their logo printed next to the lens on a phone which is marketed as a great camera-phone. They had no input on the phone other than how the logo looks.
What I want: A small portable point and shoot digital camera that actually takes photos on the level of a flagship-phone.
- Comment on would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it? 3 months ago:
No, I don’t really have a use for an A5 printer.
I’m also not sure if a spacebar-sized touchpad would be all that great.
