- Comment on US defends tariffs on remote island of penguins and seals 15 hours ago:
Ok, but is there a possibility of there being a loophole here? Could you transfer cargo without a port? Is it required to use a different ship to be considered as coming from that island, or is there something equivalent to changing the flag and sailing onwards?
I’m assuming that the explanation is just covering up incompetence (and providing an excuse that passes if you don’t use critical thinking skills), but that’s only my assumption. Much of my knowledge about international shipping zones from Wendover videos, so I know I’m no expert.

I’m assuming that these uninhabited islands don’t have a port and so this is an impossible scenario, but I don’t know enough about international shipping to be sure.
- Comment on I still use a Palm Pilot in 2025, and you should, too 1 week ago:
I still rememberb the Palm Pilot input alphabet - every letter is represented by a single stroke and it was fast-enough and very accurate.

They always used to break for us, and we’d have to go back to the trusty Competition Pro

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)
- Comment on The Fediverse is what social media should be 1 month ago:
I liked that you didn’t bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it’s so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.
I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact “seamlessly”, but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!

- Comment on In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands 1 month ago:
I thank the driver too, but I don’t think they’d take it as a compliment if I showed relief that they didn’t crash.

- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week 4 months ago:
I watched and enjoyed that one yesterday, and he’s bang on the money. People here are saying “well it’s EoL” but that means it’s got all the way through development and its full lifetime with such a prominent set of bugs.
I don’t think I’ll be buying D-Link if that’s what supported means.

makes sense or is reasonable
That’s getting less and less relevant every day.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 4 months ago:
It’s a bit stilted and no-one would speak like that (at least without sounding pretentious), but it’s not bad grammar.
Also, shame on the moron that downvoted you for asking a question.
- Comment on Dries Buytaert's solar-powered and self-hosted website 4 months ago:
I was interested to see that there’s an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:
I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it’s behind Cloudflare (cheating a bit, surely?).

This is a lie, unless you know something the article doesn’t mention. The quoted chat log shows the character acting horrified and arguing against it.
