Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.

I wouldn’t trust cloud storage in case of a dictatorship.

- Comment on Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication 2 weeks ago:
I started using Curve since I swapped to Graphene. Upsides: it’s not google and it works fine. Downsides: it’s a free as in beer app that (I assume) is selling my data.
I’ve read that Monzo used to have their own NFC payment app, but it looks like that isn’t around anymore and they just integrate with Google Pay now. If anyone knows more about it I would love to hear it.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn’t republicans winning because dems didn’t vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can’t wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.
- Comment on Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US 3 weeks ago:
The Nazi gold is still very much a thing. And the descendants of Jewish people who died in concentration camps are often unsuccessful in reclaiming any wealth that was stored in Swiss banks, because they don’t have death certificates and what not. Switzerland is incredibly stubborn and selfish when it comes to anything that would tarnish their neutral stance in banking and politics.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 4 weeks ago:
I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn’t comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven’t read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don’t plan to comply.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 4 weeks ago:
To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it’s time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 4 weeks ago:
To be fair, I struggled with the UK signs when I moved here from Sweden. Big yellow quite distinct, to smaller ones that pop less from the surroundings. Not an excuse as such, but I find it understandable.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 4 weeks ago:
I know it’s not a rule, hence why I put it in quotation marks. I noted in another comment that, yes, the proper way is to group it as 1+(-2)+3 and you can do it in any order. What I meant with ““rule”” is the meme questions pray on people not understanding/remembering what the actual rules are or why “left to right” conventions exist.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 4 weeks ago:
I was gonna tell you it was a meme and they don’t actually work. This being in science meme I thought they might actually be stereographic images, but it’s from so far away you wouldn’t be able to discern any 3D-ness. But I was wrong the height is exaggerated. For me the walleyed version worked for me, I just had to zoom in on one image and hold my phone quite far away.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 5 weeks ago:
I read it the same way you did. If you want to terminate the EULA, then they request you remove your copies of the game. In that snippet it says nothing about them arbitrary demand you delete all your copies.

If you love the Chinese low quality drop shipped items on Amazon, and wish that was the only thing they stocked, then Temu is great!

“A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication”
That is what I said. I said it’s a mistake to think one of them has a precedence over the other. You’re arguing the same point I’m making?
- Comment on Home surveillance set up 1 month ago:
Most recommended cameras are from China unfortunately. While I would prefer to not support them economically, they seem fine security wise.

No Hikvision from Amazon, good shout as I was looking at some of them there.

Oh, that might prove a bit difficult on a Linux machine. I guess I’ll have to borrow my room mates computer :P

Thanks for the shout about Frigate’s documentation. There’s a lot of good information on there!

It’s not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it’s because he’s unable to say “I’m sorry, I could have done better” without including any buts or “the others also messed up”. It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

/s. I can’t pretend I understand any of it, but certainly sounds pretty cool.

That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.
- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 2 months ago:
I’ve used Zotify. It downloads from Spotify directly in .ogg format. It fails a bit here and there, so requires you to watch that everything actually downloaded, but it beats any random YouTube quality video other programs would find otherwise.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 months ago:
I’ve never done it, but I wonder if turning on the rear fog lights would work. You’re not braking, but they might think you are. I don’t know what the legality of that would be

100% with you. “Left to right” as far as I can tell only exists to make otherwise “unsolvable” problems a kind of official solution. I personally feel like it is a bodge, and I would rather the correct solution for such a problem to be undefined.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 2 months ago:
I fully agree that if it comes down to “left to right” the problem really needs to be rewritten to be more clear. But I’ve just shown why that “rule” is a common part of these meme problems because it is so weird and quite esoteric.
