I still do, for some things (lists of huge files). Well, I did recently, but got deleted just last week.

Ah, yes. That was the name. Then I changed it for DownThemAll! which still exists.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 9 hours ago:
With this crisis of new stories to tell, with this incessant demand and lack of offer, it would be interesting to see the movies that famously never were made or would have been made differently with other directors, protagonists, scripts, adaptations, etc. I’d still avoid them, but a Matrix film starring Will Smith would be a success selling tickets.

And their telemetry metrics will tell them people overwhelmingly keep the switch on.

- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 days ago:
It’s fine if you don’t make much sense of it. It surely wasn’t easy to put in words, so maybe I screwed it up. I’m a person who happens to eat a similar diet than yours. And yeah, I’d prefer food with minimal suffering of animals, if I get to choose. I frequently don’t get to choose, reality does that to many of us.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 days ago:
My take in the veganism I’ve come to know personally is that vegans think they put themselves in the place of animals, but what I see is they put the animals in their own place. In this case, they think that consent should be placed in the animal realm because they believe it for themselves.

Microsoft will break compatibility as soon as they want to, leaving onlyoffice docx users with no option than buying Microsoft Office, eventually.

Meanwhile, Naughty Dog keeps milking the last great game they produced in 2013.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 1 week ago:
Honestly, I’m worried. Current Linux options are expensive and or shitty. IDK if Sailfish is still a thing. I can’t use Apple. If I keep taking good care of my not-so-shitty Xiaomi phone, maybe I have a couple more years until I’m pwned.
PostmarketOS seems promising, though.

Have you seen LLMs trying to play chess? They can move some pieces alright, but at some point it’s like they just decide to put their cat in the middle of the board. Now, true chess engines are playing at their own level, not even grandmasters can follow.
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 2 weeks ago:
I know what a vegan is. It’s just I’m not a vegan myself to be going in-deep about their system of beliefs.
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 2 weeks ago:
I guess a vegan would see the point in that. Vegans are normal in my book, as in they are people. If they didn’t call themselves vegans, I wouldn’t call them any particular way as a noun. If I needed to describe them, I’d say, “they are people who only eat vegetables”.
I get it, though, it’s a discourse battle derived from their moral views and expected ethics. It’s just they don’t come across as very approachable.
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 2 weeks ago:
So, nonvegan people?
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 2 weeks ago:
I don’t go over my day calling people names. It’s not hard for me to call them as they want them to be called, and if I don’t know that, they are just people like me.

Yeah, adding all the surveillance technology developed in the last 40 years, so you dont dare to take your eyes out of the display, for example.
- Comment on Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond 2 weeks ago:
Well, that’s a target market right now. Intel GPUs are doing better than expected, I think, thanks to all the big corporations abandoning “normal consumers”.
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 2 weeks ago:
Vegans call themselves vegans and they get to call others “carnists”? I’ve been hearing them calling others “meateaters” too. It’s so reducing of the people who don’t agree with their ideas.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 2 weeks ago:
In my society purple usually don’t get their shoes off at home. We did this thing of using specific shoes at home as a compromise. Works pretty well, it’s not that I wouldn’t like a shoes off policy, but it can get too cold to stand on uncarpeted floors.

- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 3 weeks ago:
No, they don’t. They just take whatever they get served. The only ones wanting are the ones not wanting it, the others will just use whatever they get. This move won’t get them users, if anything, they will loose and fragment their userbase even more.

So, basically we are wasting energy and natural resources on things that in turn will waste energy and natural resources while climate change is accelerating and human population is still growing? Are we stupid?
