- Comment on In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages? 2 days ago:
Well, with the amount they are attempting to rewrite, if Archive.org goes down, the dark ages shall begin.

If they really need, they could plug in an external mic.
There’s a surprising amount of sensors in our phones that 30 years ago would have been expensive dedicated equipment. If a phone is enough for the tests, great.
- Comment on Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025 1 week ago:
Yeah, some of us made that miskate years ago. I can transfer mp3 just fine, why can’t I transfer a book file too? Lots of people entire book libraries are being held hostage by Amazon.
DRM ripping was a pain, I used some sketch program that had only worked with a specific old version of Kindle for PC to turn all my books into ebubs.
I love my kindle, but not buying books from Amazon anymore and next ereader won’t be kindle.
Fun unrelated fact, kindle unlimited books could also be downloaded for USB transfer.

- Comment on LibreOffice goes collaborative and Wasm as ZetaOffice • The Register 2 weeks ago:
Yes MS office can do it natively in the apps now. but that does use one drive sync.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Not having removable storage stinks.
If you do make the switch (or not) I highly recommend setting a up a backup for your contacts, photos and whatever else is important.
I started backing up apps “export settings” files too. Makes switching phones so much easier.
(I use syncthing to pick the folders I want)

This really makes you appreciate the bazillion factors that went to making Earth a place where life can thrive.
Really sucks humans are wreaking it, and the only ones who can make a significant impact to reverse course don’t care.

You lost that one buddy. Rule one of spreading misinformation is to completely ignore your opponent.
- Comment on Reddit’s getting more popular—and profitable 3 months ago:
I remember trying to convince a book sub that “two weeks” is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.
Their argument “don’t come here and you won’t be spoiled”
Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called “thoughts on Wally-Woo’s death”
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 3 months ago:
Perhaps, but for the price of those flat non-rgb or mechanical things they should either shine my shoes or provide some kind of utility, such as a headphone jack.

- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 3 months ago:
Back when I used it, Cruncyroll had terrible uptime and a much more limited list of shows. If they had reliable uptime, I might have actually subscribed. But not for something only up 3/4 weekends.
I stopped using it when they randomly put some shows I watching behind a paywall. I was fine with the ads, that I uhhh never saw for some reason, but once they started doing “pay to watch whole shows” I was out.
