- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 5 days ago:
Sad it’s even acceptable.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 week ago:
This kind of thinking shouldn’t be acceptable from a legal standpoint. Yet the courts do nothing…
- Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad 2 weeks ago:
Notepad++ isn’t trying to shoehorn in AI for starters. It’s clear Microsoft is praying the current gimmicky narrative of AI will let the masses not realize this is a privacy nightmare.
- Comment on The right person for me deserves better. 2 weeks ago:
You had me with Meeting humans is intolerable, but lost me with the rest.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 2 weeks ago:
It’s a good thing I stayed loyal to Firefox. Mainly due to my dislike of change lol, but I was forced to use Chrome and it felt ominous with its owner being Google.

I especially like when they tell me my address lol, as if I’m supposed to be scared into responding.

No, but they’ll try because the citizens aren’t rebelling against it yet.

No, but I might show it now. He’ll be hoping for groin shots, lol.
- Comment on Picture 5 months ago:
I was watching my 6 year old nephew and we saw Peter Weller, so I told him that’s the guy who played Robocop. Of course my nephew wanted to meet him, he was nice and asked what my nephews favorite part of the movie was… unfortunately, my nephew excitedly said, “when you shot the bad guy’s wieners off!”
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 6 months ago:
Of course it’s still happening, this is just a side puppet show to distract from that fact. Now they’ve realized most of the population would vote in an uneducated felon again, they see they faked having a heart for nothing. Which was cutting into their profits.
Until there’s serious consequences and bankruptcy looming, they’ll continue shitting on us like we’re Japanese businessmen with a fetish.

Control Panel will likely be on hospice for a few more years
And I’ll keep visiting Control Panel in hospice. Bite me Microsoft.

Beat me to it lol.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 6 months ago:
The problem with every system is it will eventually be broken down by someone smarter and used to manipulate the user-base that grew to trust its safety to market something. Be it ideas or products, the only true safety net we have is a choice in the decision. The second a choice is forced, is the second groups split away. Each user at least deserves the safety of choice if we expect them to trust in any larger system. Decisions being made by a smaller group of individuals for the larger whole, doesn’t exactly have the best history if we look at the world around us. Don’t get me wrong… Trust would be great, but we have to trust that going from one extreme to another will inevitably create a another new problem.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 6 months ago:
I hear you, but problem or not, the devs shouldn’t be making major decisions for the user base after the fact. Anonymous voting might be a problem at first, but so will people who are broadsided by the decision. Not to mention the users who will use an open voting system to bully users they disagree with. You have to foresee problems will come with any decision, and a percentage of users will flee for each bad, meaning the safest choice is user base safety over forced decisions. Ultimately sad truth is, leaving things as they are is a much easier call for devs.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 6 months ago:
Wouldn’t it be easier to leave it as an option for each user on Lemmy?
If users want anonymity, let them have it. If they want to share their vote, let them do that. Forcing one option on others without the voice of the usually silent majority isn’t going to fix anything, it’s just going to scare some people away or start posts requesting it private again; or optional.
Not to mention, using this method you will quickly see how many users really wanted this option based on how many leave privacy enabled or disabled, instead of listening to a current vocal minority.

I do know pomegranates are suggested to be avoided, as a lot of medications can be negated if you eat them.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
It’s the folly of humanity, to believe the problem will always be the next generation’s problem. Selfish desire first, concern second.

Damn… I can remember doing this and just finding it easier to buy a ringtone when they were cheap.

That’s some positive thinking, confidence is one of the biggest hurdles. Best of luck if you try, friends definitely would speed up the process.

I won’t lie, I am intrigued my tiny homes. But I somehow have negative construction experience lol.
