Facebook has a profile on everyone. Accounts or not. They are just like every other data broker. All they want is access to more data and more data.
All that medical data is the holy grail… Anyone who thinks medical data will remain private is naive. All it takes is very deep pockets and lawmakers who want contributions to change the laws.

- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
In Florida I’m calling out FPL the local power company.
You would think in Florida having solar panels is a no brainer, but FPL fought it for years.
FPL successfully lobbied to have insurance companies deny coverage if panels are installed on a roof. You can’t get windstorm insurance with panels unless you paythrought the nose.
FPL successfully lobbied to force homeowners with powerwalls and panels to take out a 1 million dollar insurance policy payable to FPL in case there’s an accident that damages the grid…an accident that has never happened, ever.
FPL then has the gall to advertise solar energy and all the benefits, you can sign up for solar power provided by FPL for a slight increase in your bill to help the environment.
Mother fucking FPL
- Comment on How would I improve Wifi consistency within my house? 2 weeks ago:
I know you specified WiFi… But Ethernet over power lines works for me to the edges of my WiFi range. The adapters are pretty inexpensive and you don’t deal with WiFi congestion.
Just another option.

- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 2 weeks ago:
This. I miss being in a band. Did this in high school and college. We played local clubs and bars. It was fun.
But as an adult, who can find 3other people willing to play at all, or even commit to a 1 hour get together to practice… Performing is probably never going to happen again.

Youre optimistic about taking it to court when ice will kidnap you and deport you without ever seeing a lawyer or a judge.
- Comment on Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11 2 months ago:
I had to buy a laptop for my kid to use for some online testing that required windows 11. They install some rootkit like malware that only runs on a baremetal install. So virtual machines were out, Linux was not supported.
So I plunged into that cesspool. Holy crap what a shitshow just to get an install.
Its true they force you to use a ms account to complete install. You must have WiFi enabled or might as well return it. Took 2 hours to download whatever it needed to complete the setup. Hadd to create 2 online accounts because the 1st one errored for an unknown reason.
After it booted I discovered S mode. You must sign in online and enable Hello to get out of S mode to install anything other than ms apps.
To use local account, you need to click around 4 or 5 different areas in order to remove online, then hello, then the passkey, then remove the ms account. I haven’t even begun cleaning up the diags, spyware, ads,suggestions, etc…
I feel dirty now.

- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 months ago:
2015 cars came with bluetooth support fir hands free calling using your phone. This was great.
After that, it was replaced with carplay or android auto as the only means to get hands frwe calling. Stupid…stupid.
Plus, last 2 new cars i bought, i had yo take the interior roof apart so i could access the buily in cellular antennae wire and remove that spyware P.O.S. And by the way, car works fine without it.

Some techings say that being born as a human is as random as a blind sea turtle swimming from the ocean bottom to the top and hitting his head against a floating cork.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 2 months ago:
PiHole works great. I get 20% of requests denied and it really helps keep ads and unwanted sites to a minimum. It was easy to setup. I just update it via ssh once every 60days or so.
The stats are kinda revealing also as to the sites the household uses .
