- Comment on Why Katy Perry is using a sexualized version of the Romulan uniform? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s the real Romulan uniform. How do you know? Have you ever been to space? Katy Perry has. 😝
- Comment on Firebombed friendlyjordies still receiving death threats (from an ABC reporter) 2 weeks ago:
Oh, yeah. That’s totally normal. I feel that way about many politicians, CEOS and “influencers”. I just wouldn’t talk like that about people I know or interact with.
- Comment on Firebombed friendlyjordies still receiving death threats (from an ABC reporter) 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like malice aforethought to me.
Unless, you’re just talking vaguely about public figures that are doing awful things, it’s kind of fucked up to be talking about wanting someone dead. It’s one thing to hope Putin gets cancer and dies before Christmas. It’s another to want the annoying middle manager die in a car wreck on the way home. Still another to say you’re to stab that asshole if he bumps into you in the hall one more time.
Wishing death on someone isn’t a healthy way to deal with your feelings.

How long does it take from one round to the next? I feel like this should be a drinking game but should in drink a beer each round or a pour of whiskey?
- Comment on Xmas at the mega church 2 weeks ago:
I feel like half of American churches could be wiped out if people just had some other live entertainment they could afford on the weekends.

Shut the fuck up, Jimmy.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there could be lots of reasons. I’ve gotten Apple GCs with cash back rewards from my credit card, for example.
- Comment on Good NAS solution for dummies / apple users? 3 weeks ago:
Time Machine backups to the NAS.
Though, really important stuff should be backed up off-site.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 3 weeks ago:
Apple’s WebKit (WebCore+JavaScriptCore) was originally a fork of KHTML/KJS. They shared at the beginning but not very well. They eventually opened up their source and made changes that were more friendly to other developers. A lot of browsers and embedded renderers use WebKit, now, besides Safari and KDE based ones.
Google forked WebCore for Chromium. I don’t think they share a codebase, anymore. Edge, Opera and many embedded renderers use Chromium.
Anyway, I just think it’s interesting that most every browser out there is descended from KHTML.

This is going to be like shaving razors, isn’t it? How soon before quad-fold phones?
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 5 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten so much out of NMS by now that I would prepay for Light No Fire and not care of it wasn’t playable for 5 years.
But, I don’t blame them for being cautious and it cements my “loyalty“.
Contrast with Subnautica which I might have said the same about until they sold out to Krafton and the ensuing drama.
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 5 weeks ago:
Of course it is possible that everyone pays for the hardware anyhow but it is not necessarily the case.
It is necessarily the case. No company incurs the cost of making something, delivers it and then just hopes that someone pays for it. You literally can’t do business that way.

- Comment on I analyzed 200 e-commerce sites and found 73% of their traffic is fake 2 months ago:
Sounds like another bubble ripe for bursting.
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 2 months ago:
You’ve no obligation to socialize with everyone in real life, why should online be any different?
If someone is consistently annoying, rude or spouting noxious stuff, you’re perfectly reasonable in blocking them.
Interaction in written text online is still a fairly unnatural way for humans to communicate. It’s missing the depth that physical and aural clues provide.
Add to that the evidence that humans can’t really manage more than about 50 relationships makes these global forums too much for a person to really handle.
Block away. Trim your interactions to a manageable level.

Ponies are supposed to shit. It’s more like if the pony came strapped with ill-fitting saddlebags that leak toxic chemicals.

Send Apple feedback. They need to hear how unpopular working with Trump will make them.
- Comment on A 21-23-year-old dating or sleeping with an older person doesn't automatically make the 21-23-year-old a "victim". 2 months ago:
Whenever a 21-23-year-old is dating or is having sex with men or women. 10, 15, or 20 years older than them, people on Reddit, TikTok, and X will claim the 21-23-year-olds are automatically “victims” of abuse or “paedophilia”, but that’s just not true for the record.
You know social media does not represent general public opinion or the general opinion of experts in the field. It’s just random fucking people with megaphones.
Ignore it. If you’re in such a relationship be mindful of the pitfalls and listen to people you know in real life if they express concerns.
People need to stop automatically giving credence to the opinions of random Internet people. Yes, this opinion, too. Get back to real life.

- Comment on New U.S. gov't rule says chipmakers have to make one chip in the US for each chip imported from another country to avoid 100% tariffs — Trump admin allegedly preps new 1:1 chip export rule under new t 3 months ago:
Domestic potato chip production about to get a big boost.
Seriously, it sounds like they are not even requiring the same chip produced domestically. They’ll just make the dumbest cheapest chips. And if they can make any chip for less than the tariff, they’ll just make it, toss it and take a tax write off.
