“Well dam” - beavers
- Comment on WIRED: Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat. 1 month ago:
No identifiers.
To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 1 month ago:
Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 2 months ago:
I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 2 months ago:
Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.
Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.
Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.
- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
You can change the color.
- Comment on YouTube creators surprised to find Apple and others trained AI on their videos 3 months ago:
Why would they believe that companies they grew up trusting would steal their content?
No one should grow up fully trusting any company to this extent.
I thought Apple was supposed to be so great? I guess they’re POS just like the rest of them.
Yes, exactly.

Chrome still uses WebKit.
- Comment on "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again 3 months ago:
The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.
- Comment on "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again 3 months ago:
I agree.
Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.
It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.
However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

Windows bad. Linux good.

But we aren’t them… right?
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
You can be critical of the CCP but also see the increased urgency in “fixing tiktok” after US/Israel propaganda to hide Palestine genocide got stymied by tiktok.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
YouTube shorts recommendations suck.
- Comment on We don't really work 9 to 5 but still call our job 9-to-5 7 months ago:
Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many work 7 hours per day.

1st frame should be back up and get ready to taze.
- Comment on California sheriff releases bodycam video of killing of boy, 15, holding gardening tool 8 months ago:
Pull out both and position taser like flashlight?
Pull taser out immediately to reduce time drawing it if their is slight indication of violence.
I’m not sure someone running at you with a gardening tool counts as fighting for your life.
Police around the world manage not to shoot people in these situations.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
Try dual booting so you can test if it just works or if the friction involved is acceptable.

- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
I like how you say that as if its impossible.
I stopped buying things off of Amazon many years ago because they don’t respect privacy and are unethical.

Tab crashes with ublock enabled or without?
If without, it’s probably ads/trackers crashing the tab.

Firefox sync will do the same without spying on you.

Yeah… But Sherman
- Comment on GitHub: Can no longer search code without being logged in 11 months ago:
If some has to know to unplug the internet, try to sign up, and force an error to bypass sign up…
It is forcing.
- Comment on GitHub: Can no longer search code without being logged in 11 months ago:
Microsoft sucks for this, outlook, “open source vscode”, and many other reasons.
That said my current workaround is to use sourcegraph.
- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 11 months ago:
I’m curious if “must use browser X” is a deal breaker for many people.
Would you quit a job for forcing a specific browser?
