There are no gay people in Russia.

Nah was just a shitpost tbh, I wouldn’t read much into it.

Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it’s measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.

What’s to wrap your head around? It’s 6.35kg or 12lbs.
Importantly it is only ever used to measure the weight of humans
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Yeah I’m curious as to whether there’s not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
It’s easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don’t provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.
Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don’t see the problem.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
I agree mostly, but forks don’t need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

I don’t use the dryer
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
Honestly most the advice I’m seeing is basically an answer to “how to avoid clothes looking absurdly crinkled” but nothing gets clothes as crinkle-free as an iron. Most people are just content with some crinkles.
Not even iron-free shirts are free from my iron.
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I don’t use the dryer except for towels, and I’m generally pretty good about taking them out when they’re done washing- can definitely tell when they’ve sat there a while!
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I iron my tshirts and shorts otherwise they look crinkley
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 months ago:
Because that was what the article was about…I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.
I would genuinely love to see it, because I’m stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.

I’d love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you’ve uploaded the vid.

How you finding protonmail compared to Gmail? The thing I like about Gmail is I can find shit in my endless history…I also love the calendar integration.

I see. Sorry for the offence.
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 4 months ago:
My use of the word despicable instead of disgusting probably threw you off
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 4 months ago:
This is despicable. What specific service was this? So I know how to avoid it if it should resurface.

Couldn’t get on with Jellyfin…emby however has been fantastic!
- Comment on Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead" 5 months ago:
To some people in some places Facebook is actually necessary in order to have a social life or run a business.
We all know Facebook would die if it charged for access, because it would lose its ubiquity that makes it necessary for some people.
What would actually be good is if instead of charging for privacy, they charged for enhanced features - similar to how discord charges for Nitro (I am not defending discord, just using their payment model as an example)
The problem with that payment model though is then you have to actually develop features people want to pay for. And we all know Facebook is creatively bankrupt.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 6 months ago:
No, because there are no stupid questions.

For stellar technology you need to go to SpaceX. You’ve been shopping at the wrong Musk store.
- Comment on Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time 6 months ago:
I have a chromecast but I found it a bit annoying having to use my phone to do stuff…if it’s low on power it’s a problem, and it can’t be chucked around the room really
- Comment on Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time 6 months ago:
And do what instead? Serious question as I’m about to buy my 2nd roku product
- Comment on Anthropology 6 months ago:
I believe theyre referring to the usual two-finger-fuck-you. As in v for victory.
If you take that same sign and press it to your lips you get a gesture recognised as “eating pussy” when accompanied by some tongue action through the V of your fingers.

- Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 6 months ago:
This is exactly what Octopus Energy are doing in the UK. You tell them when you need your car charged by and they schedule it to happen (usually overnight) so that it’s done by then.
Rather than laying 30p/kwh you pay 7p/kwh.
You can of course tell it to just charge, and pay the usual rate.
- Comment on I got this 7 months ago:
I don’t disagree with the first sentence but do disagree with the comparison. A driver is in constant control of the vehicle and has to make decisions on a second by second basis that could result in death. By comparison, the chance of anyone in an exit row even being in a plane accident is vanishingly small. Even smaller still the liklihood that they’ll have to do anything (and be alive to do it)
