- Comment on X’s blue checkmarks are deceptive, rules EU ‘Verified accounts’ lack authenticity and are being abused by malicious actors in violation of the EU’s DSA. 3 months ago:
Remember when Eli Lily lost billions because an account with a blue check mark pretending to be them said they were giving insulin away for free?

Then stop beating the “it’s all hopeless” drum. You’re certainly not going to change my mind.

You sound like an ad for advertising.

That’s the spirit
- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 4 months ago:
People are abusing Google’s ad distro platform to get malware onto people’s machines. I see Microsoft signed up for the same firestorm of possibilities.

I’m still not sure what that context is. I’m a year into Duolingo and they haven’t spelled that out for me in a way I understand yet.

On a bigger scale, I think it’s all wasted money. Maybe its the autism, but the more I see a company name, any company name, the less I want it in my house.

All you gotta do is ask everyone to scoot down a room (or two, not sure if Sis and the boulder are looking to share a room) and you’ll find there’s plenty of room.

With even the FBI recommending adblockers maybe ads aren’t the thing we should prop up our economy with. They don’t work, people hate them, and now even passively ignoring them isn’t an option. But I don’t know if the world can operate on the Patreon model.
- Comment on US bans Kaspersky antivirus software for alleged Russian links 4 months ago:
I get it though. I trust Kaspersky, but I believe Russia is between the US and any Russian citizen. It’s not about “when will Russia tell Kaspersky to jump” its “when will Russia act on Kaspersky’s behalf, jumping.” It’s the same reason I don’t trust “Snowden” anymore.

I won’t spend my money at those asshole places. If they’re the type of place to pull this shit, I probably already don’t shop there.

- Comment on YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency. 8 months ago:
I still blame Jeep for thinking a rotating selector was a good idea for a gear shifter. RIP Anton Yelchin.
- Comment on New York Times takedown domino effect hits nearly 2000 Wordle clones 8 months ago:
I used to maintain a wordle clone. I was meticulously making sure that any changes in the NYT word list would be reflected in my app as well, the goal was synchronization because the secret to wordle is that we’re all playing the same game… until we’re not. I haven’t touched that repo in months. The NYT can suck it.

Without the only app store that matters, this was dead on day 1 for me.
