- Comment on Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps 2 days ago:
While I wouldn’t assume anything is permanent these days, I’d agree for the moment. I had already uninstalled Gemini on my phone (2ish months ago) and just verified I still see Google listed as the default assistant.
- Comment on Holy sh*t: Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain. 2 days ago:
Aside from the fact that he made twitter (which I blame in large part for how our political/news media landscape, as well as modern discourse, has become so thoughtless), left and made blue sky, then left blue sky and endorsed twitter?
The dude supports a ton of toxic shit and can get entirely fucked.

If you can afford 3 houses, you can afford the extra tax on 2 or all 3 of them. And if you can’t, maybe you don’t need hat many fucking houses…
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 2 days ago:
Most people aren’t homeless because there is no house available
It’s amazing how I can add the word “affordable” to your statement and you’re suddenly wrong.
You see this as wanting to tax second homes while ignoring that tons of people are homeless because they can’t afford to live somewhere because of shitheads holding onto empty housing as an investment at the expense of the common person.
So yeah, let’s tax any house left unoccupied for more than half the year. If you can afford to have 2 houses, you can afford to pay more for the one you don’t live in so maybe we can free up some of them and lower the cost of housing.

- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio begs rioting fans for benefit of the doubt after leadership axed by owner Krafton: 'The team that has been working on the game day-to-day ... remains completely unchanged' 4 days ago:
My interest in subnautica 2 is like the actual second game: below zero.
The first game and below zero are so different I’m not confident they know what about the first game was what drew people in.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 5 days ago:
Unless there’s a safety concern, there’s always the side of the road. I drive 2 lane backwoods roads periodically, and it’s not uncommon to see a car pulled a bit off the road with no visible driver’s seat.

Fuckin king! That’s an amazing joke.
- Comment on Disturbed 1 week ago:
I’m so glad I stopped caring about disturbed close to 20 years ago. Plus, that album after inside the fire was fucking trash.
I saw them live at an open air festival before COVID and that was such a disappointing show. Definitely killed any interest I had, and this just buries the body.
- Comment on Nintendo’s Anti-Consumer Anti-Piracy Measures Also Reduce The Value Of The Switch 2 1 week ago:
“This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care” is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you sucking off Nintendo so hard for their shitty practices?

- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
What should be and what is are two different things, and pretending like something doesn’t exist just because you don’t want itto exist is a detriment to you more than anything else.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
Spoken like a teenager pretending to be an adult lol.
People with actual experience don’t assume someone’s disagreement means they are inexperienced. But assuming as much is a good indicator of someone being actually inexperienced, though.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
Nah, just sick of the capitalist bootlickers pretending like there isn’t already a class war that we are and have been losing for centuries.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
Imagine thinking Lemmy is propagandizing people into these beliefs and not just the one platform that’s not relentlessly shoving the capitalist boot down everyone’s throat and allowing for semi-genuine conversation like you rarely see in corpo social media.
Like, sure, it’s Lemmy that’s pushing the narrative of class warfare and no other platform has that kind of talk hidden by mod abuse. Nope, just Lemmy, clearly.
Maybe this is a selfawarewolf post…
- Comment on (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)? 1 week ago:
As much as I second the rec for satisfactory, I’m not sure I’d classify it as ‘chill’ unless you’re playing on peaceful.
I’ve been looking at shapez 2 for a bit, but I’m worried the infinite resource aspect of it would cause me to get bored too quickly
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Nextcloud isn’t a 365 competitor?
You’re in a thread about it being used as one, so that argument is worthless.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Who ever wanted a file sync platform that also does calendaring and contacts?
“Who ever wanted standard features from office 365”

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when you had to go have a chat with HR about that

Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they check notes expect to be able to use the food they bought

Maybe they would have to do that if you’d stop stealing the milk, Brenda

- Comment on UK’s Major Porn Providers Agree to Age Checks From Next Month; Aylo, Owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, Will Add Age Assurance Checks by July 25. 2 weeks ago:
They only really block access when there isn’t an official way to validate. Iirc, Louisiana did this over a year ago and pirnhub is doing age verification there now.
- Comment on Microsoft Came to Bargain: Use OneDrive for Device Backup, Opt into Loyalty Program and Use Their Products Till You Earn 1000 Points or Pay $30 and They Might Give You Security Updates till Oct 2026. 2 weeks ago:
Download the iso and install home. It won’t stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.
Well sure, anything is free when you steal it. Whether or not they care enough to come after home users, doesn’t change the fact that it’s not free.
But yea, know your audience and give them something they can use. I made my mother learn mint after the 80th time I had to clean the windows box, and she did well enough with it.

Windows Home isn’t free (legally), you can’t just install it and have a valid license available without paying money. Most people think Windows is free because you’re paying for the license when you buy a prebuilt, you’re just not seeing the line item cost.
But either way, Home is a trash fire. At least Pro lets you control more of the annoying aspects of the OS. Home you’re just opening up for whatever MS wants to shove down your throat. And even then, just run linux. That’s actually free, and a better experience.
