- Comment on New To Android? What Apps to Choose? 7 hours ago:
I’d say Firefox for your browser. It supports extensions like ad blockers.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 5 days ago:
It’s correct. A product with various options will have each combination of options under a different SKU. It’s a singular number that identifies an exact version of a product.
- Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump 1 week ago:
The word “fascism” had been used a lot in regards to Trump - not because it’s a go-to insult, but because Trump is meeting every characteristic of the word.
Per Wikipedia:
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
- Dictatorial/autocratic: Issues a flood of executive orders and works through Elon to exercise singular executive power with zero regard for Constitutionality and separation of powers.
- Militarism: Threatens land grabs/annexations of Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza
- Forcible suppression of opposition: Lawsuits/investigations/threats against media companies that say things that hurt his feelings
- Belief in a natural social hierarchy: lifelong history of public racist and misogynistic comments
- Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race: suppression of transgenderism, everything DOGE is shredding, abolition of CFPB, OSHA, etc.
- Strong regimentation of society and the economy: extreme censorship, immediate blame of disasters on DEI (even if only white, cisgender, qualified men were involved see DC airliner/heli crash), tariffs (and threats thereof), intent on destroying the renewable energy sector and forcing fossil fuels
- Comment on What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you? 2 weeks ago:
It’s small enough that I can post a comment on something, and my girlfriend will independently run across my comment. Though she doesn’t read the usernames, so she doesn’t know it was me. Then I’ll mention it and she’ll say “oh yeah, I saw that comment.”
- Comment on Uncanny sandwich 3 weeks ago:
I had “while being an adulterous piece of shit” in my comment draft, but when I went to fact check, all I could find was stuff about his wife maybe or maybe not cheating on him. Those Google results are skewed…
- Comment on Uncanny sandwich 3 weeks ago:
I like the fact that he’s chosen to go with “moral barometer” in more than one interview. Consistently moronic.
- Comment on Uncanny sandwich 4 weeks ago:
Is it because he recommended women leave their atheist partners because of a lack of moral barometer? Or saying gay men aren’t real men? Or saying real men don’t have female friends? Is it because he’s a homophobic, misogynist, religious bigot? Or for the Miss Universe fuckup?
- Comment on Solar powered server rack 1 month ago:
The recommendation to not daisy-chain UPSs together is less about what makes for a cleaner setup and more about not damaging them.
- Comment on Cybertruck's Many Recalls Make It Worse Than 91 Percent of All 2024 Vehicles 2 months ago:
You have to wrap the Cybertruck to prevent body rust.
- Comment on Swiss Experiment Will Place Solar Panels Between Train Tracks 3 months ago:
That’s why we workshop these ideas, to make sure we don’t do something stupid.
- Comment on Swiss Experiment Will Place Solar Panels Between Train Tracks 3 months ago:
Just fit a brush under every train to wipe dirt off the panels as they travel.
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 3 months ago:
My home value hasn’t started falling yet, according to Zillow, but the appreciation seems to have leveled off.
- Comment on We are at the Wolfenstein stage of capital. 4 months ago:
I don’t think those are jawbones. They’re casts of the dogs jaws with the prepared caps test-fitted to each tooth.
- Comment on Why Choose? 4 months ago:
Two in one! Image
- Comment on YIF YIF YIF 4 months ago:
To be fair, growling (along with shaking with pure hatred) is the natural state of a Chihuahua.

- Comment on What letter has the best games? 5 months ago:
I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.
- Comment on What letter has the best games? 5 months ago:
Every Star Wars game…
- Comment on What letter has the best games? 5 months ago:
Flight Simulator
- Comment on 👁 👁 5 months ago:
Neat!
- Comment on 👁 👁 5 months ago:
This doesn’t make sense to me. The iris doesn’t collect light for vision. The pupil expands or contracts to vary the amount of light that reaches the retina. Iris color should have nothing to do with it.
- Comment on Always happens 9 months ago:
Probably true.
- Comment on Always happens 9 months ago:
It’s because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.
- Comment on Snikt 11 months ago:
Non-ferrous metals are still subjected to forces in the presence of changing magnetic fields through a combination of Lenz’s Law and the Lorentz Force.
It’s why when you drop a magnet through a copper pipe it falls slower than it would in open air.
- Comment on FCC bans AI-generated voices in robocalls that can deceive voters 1 year ago:
Because there are legitimate reasons for some robo calls. Appointment reminders and confirmations, school weather closure announcements, two-factor login verification, etc.
