There is a fan remake in source if that’ll do for you.
- Comment on No Tech for Apartheid: Google Workers Arrested for Protesting Company’s $1.2B Contract with Israel 6 months ago:
While they are released it assists the police with intelligence gathering. In the UK police are known for giving bail conditions like “you can’t meet within more than 4 people”
- Comment on Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? 6 months ago:
In the case of Google keyboard its crap so as to push people to use the search engine and view ads. I assume its the same for Swiftkey and Bing/CoPilot
- Comment on Bluesky backs a project that would let Mastodon apps, like Ivory, work with its network 6 months ago:
It basically works with nothing to a reasonable extent on Android.
- Comment on Microsoft releases MS-DOS 4 source code on GitHub — 45 year old code now open-source 6 months ago:
I think that is likely since 3.3 wasn’t included either and that is one of those versions people stuck with for ages.
- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 6 months ago:
Since scrapping systemd, a hell of a lot less but it can occasionally be a bit of messing about when my dynamic ip gets reassigned.

Protest should intend on being an inconvenience, though arrest should be avoided if at all possible. It absolutely kills longevity and leads to people making arrest a core intention while rambling about non-violence. Really what you want is to have strategy and numbers that spook cops enough to not bother because they won’t if they think its going to be too much trouble for them.
- Comment on Adult transgender clinics in England face inquiry into patient care 7 months ago:
Mermaids are widely distrusted among the trans community as an org targeting trans youth with cis adults in charge. The wider community are mostly opposed to gender clinics however this pushes them in a more hostile direction, specifically because they chose to opaquely work with conversion therapist networks and no trans advocacy organizations.
- Comment on Adult transgender clinics in England face inquiry into patient care 7 months ago:
In this case, they used an adaptation of Newcastle Ottowa scale, however they didn’t provide an appendix of what those adaptations actually were. The specific points were raised that the studies weren’t double blind, which would obviously be a violation of basic ethics in this case. There were multiple conversion therapists involved in the report so its pretty reasonable to assume malicious intent.
- Comment on Five key takeaways, concerns and questions from the Cass report 7 months ago:
The current Guardian editor, Kath Viner is quite closely in the organised transphobe clique on the press/academic/legal side with Helen Joyce, Maya Forestater and Kathleen Stock. The Cass report was quite openly leaked to most of those orgs a week in advance to give them time to prepare statements. Its a political farce to legitimize them and it holds up to absolutely no scrutiny. Its impossible and unethical to double-blind trans healthcare.
- Comment on Adult transgender clinics in England face inquiry into patient care 7 months ago:
Its important to note that the evidence is there, they just applied an impossible and unethical standard to it to dismiss all but one study. Of those identified to be involved in this report, multiple conversion therapist organisations were consulted but no trans advocacy organizations.
The way in which they dismissed the evidence was notably the exclusion of double blind studies. Imagine if they said the same of cancer treatments.
- Comment on Now that ChatGPT is being trained using Reddit posts 8 months ago:
“Google is free”
- Comment on How Google is killing independent sites like ours 8 months ago:
It is worth noting that marketing companies have picked up on this and they will often create oddly specific questions on Reddit then answer them with a bought account.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 8 months ago:
A lot of people are complaining about Kagi using Brave as a backend but the alternatives aren’t much better. Both Google and Microsoft are BDS for example.
- Comment on Looking for peoplecs experiences with Systemd-less distros for a home server 9 months ago:
I’ve been considering gentoo since I used it on a chromebook. I like the binary packages but I worry about stuff that isn’t because the hardware is getting pretty old. I mighy try it if I replace it though.
- Comment on Looking for peoplecs experiences with Systemd-less distros for a home server 9 months ago:
Most of the usual reasons really. Resolved, networkd and the journal were the culprits of the mess that happened last night though.
- Comment on Looking for peoplecs experiences with Systemd-less distros for a home server 9 months ago:
I was trying to say that my desktop on Arch works fine but my server has been running various different distros being Ubuntu and OpenSuse Leap most recently.
