- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 6 months ago:
In Europe GDPR gives you the right to have all your data deleted. All you do is send in a request and SO has to remove everything of yours, not just anonymize it. There are some exceptions for legal reasons, eg where financial transactions are involved, but comments should not be exempt.

I don’t like Canonical either, hence my recommendations for Mint or Pop being listed first. But let’s be real, if someone wants to just get away from windows and wants something that works without having to learn much new, this is good enough.

Unironically, switch to Linux. Mainstream distros like Mint, PopOS or Ubuntu are very friendly for casual users, have GUIs for everything and if something does go wrong, the error messages actually have proper meaning and you’ll find tons of resources online as well as people willing to help.
Most stuff nowadays runs in a browser anyway, so here there’s no compatibility issues, office is available in Linux through libre office and gaming has come far with steam and proton.
- Comment on One thing that makes me laugh is imaging game protagonists explaining what took them so long. 8 months ago:
From memory:
- In ME1 Liara has different voice lines, depending on when you decide to recruit her.
- In ME2 if you wait too long before the final mission, (most of) your crew dies which will affect the story of the last game.
- In ME2 you have to talk to your crew regularly to get them to unlock special options or abilities.
- Talk to Conrad Verner all the time in 1 and 2 and you’ll get a reward in 3.
- Comment on YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation 11 months ago:
The transition from EVs to public transit, biking, etc has to come eventually, too. We can however already do that and places have successfully done so. Look at the Netherlands for example. EVs are in the way of transitioning to better public infrastructure and will only delay it.
