Don’t you know adult women cannot make choices for themselves? They’re little babies we should protect from themselves /s
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 2 weeks ago:
It’s annoying but I guess they’re just evolving their anti spam mechanisms, which shouldn’t surprise anyone.
JS is one of the most popular scripting languages anyway so having it as a requirement shouldn’t hinder anyone.
And not to throw shade at the people who designed yt-dlp, but designing a tool to “scrap” the content of an evolving platform in a different language (with different tooling etc) than the one which it’s expecting to be consumed by might have been a mistake

- Comment on Clock logic 4 weeks ago:
You could get a jumping hour watch, meaning the hour isn’t a slowly moving hand but instead jumps from 6 to 7 with a jump, avoiding potential mixing up of hours, it would make it easier to read those 24h
Like this watch
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 4 weeks ago:
But they’re already not making money, losing customers during the supposed growth phase is absolutely devastating. It’s occuring all while AI is being subsidized by massive investments from the likes of microsoft and google, and many more namelesss VCs through OpenAI, anthropic etc.

- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 4 months ago:
Well yeah, w11 has no selling point, that’s why they’re forcing you to switch by removing support by autumn 2025
- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 4 months ago:
They’re VCs, they’re not here for the long run: they’ll replace the employees with AI, make record profits for a quarter, and sell their shares and leave before problems make themselves too noticeable to ignore. They don’t care about these companies, and especially not about the people working there
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 4 months ago:
That doesn’t work. Data can and has been deanonymized previously. It’s still very mcuh unsafe if it falls in the wrong hands
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 4 months ago:
Holy shit, I knew about the “magic trick” girl and thought he was a quirky funny man, but assaulting an artist to force them to work for free? What a fucking asshole

Teflon is not a type of PFAS and is actually safe
- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 4 months ago:
Ffs watch the video or read the post; Teflon is inert and completely safe, the issue is that to boost the speed of production they used PFAS which are very much dangerous at extremely low quantities, and yet it’s everywhere including rainwater

- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 5 months ago:
I was surprised to have a fairly unusual setup with fairly unusual peripherals, and everything pretty much worked out of the box, except for one software (philips hue sync) for which there is an open source alternative (huenicorn, and it wasn’t built-in as Linux drivers are, because it’s specialized and requires a special interface)
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 5 months ago:
When you ask for a refund under Steam’s 2h/14d policy, it’s Steam offering the refund. Past that, the request is passed on the developer
At least that’s how I’ve heard it described, idk for sure
- Comment on Why are Nickel and Cobalt considered ferrous? 5 months ago:
They’re not considered ferrous because they don’t contain iron, if they’re considered ferrous in some domains then I suppose it’s a jargon use of the term specific to that domain
