  Same for me here. I work from home these days, so for me it’s just a treat.

  Very different kind of real

  Was after Postal 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Your Bluetooth Devices Reveal About You: Building Bluehood, a Bluetooth scanner that reveals what information we leak just by having Bluetooth enabled on our devices.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Might not help.

  Some Samsung Bluetooth sharing services talk to other devices with Bluetooth off.

  Likely on other brands too. It’s infuriating how normalised this has become despite the obvious privacy and security issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see your implied contradiction here.

  They said they’re not interested in other people’s shot whilst responding to a shower thought about their shit. 💁‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a while, meta progression felt like a clever way to keep games fresh. You’d unlock new gear, perks, or passive bonuses between runs, and that sense of forward motion made failure feel productive.

  Sounds like regular progression?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny for me too. I’ve never received a bill from a hospital visit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and under⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we take collective responsibility for our society without taking any collective blame?

  Need to split it out. Take out the blame and punishment, and see it from a grown up point of view.

  Coz I hear you, I’m not taking the blame for stuff I had no control over. That makes no sense. I owe nobody anything for that stuff.

  I am over okay with taxes, or other measures, which address society’s needs even if they aversely affect me. Ws we have a shared responsibility to make society a better place.

  What other game lets you…

  Stun Gun till they wet themselves.

  Pour petrol on them while they’re down

  Flick a match on them when they get up

  Piss on the corpse when they fall down

  Wonder if there’s something my subconscious is telling me?

  😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Captain, masking is highly illogical⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Speaking as a therapist… Seriously… I’d say it in the right context… Its not a binary thing, caring what other people think.

  Of course it matters, and sometimes it really hurts someone when they’re caught between who they are and who they believe they should be.

  So if the client had made unmasking a therapeutic goal and I knew they identified with Spock it might be a fun way to encourage them not to negotiate on points that are entirely their choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CES 2026: Meet Tiiny AI, a pocket-sized AI supercomputer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reads like an advert, more than journalism, that’s why it gets my downvote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone should make an Amazon for used gear, with the same fast shipping and return policy. BC you are right and the new stuff is often such low quality.

  That’s eBay, isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it isn’t. Only in online pop psychology.

  And it’s not what’s happening for the people involved either.

  This ain’t Sunday school 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do.

  It’s sickening and I love you for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sociopaths?

  Maybe going a little too far there? 🤣

  Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.

  Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was confused by your metaphor so was genuinely trying to clarify!

  I couldn’t work out if you thought they’re wasting resources on Linux or should be investing in Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-Americans: what would you do in a situation where a foreign country run by a extremist dictator began producing nukes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally?

  I doubt the government, military or intelligence agencies are going to be asking for my input.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you clarify, are they focused on Linux or ignoring it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting with subdomains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, gotcha! Thanks.

  I feel like that information could have multiple implications in future. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting with subdomains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you learn that about my jellyfin by looking at my post history or connecting to my server? 😀

  It’d struggle a bit on some setups, like when I’m using the Jellyfin app on my GFs smart TV… Or explaining to a friend in Europe how to setup a VPN without breaking anything else on his network… It is a risk for sure.

  I’m too tired right now to parse what you mean about the port forwarding. I guess the idea is to reduce the impact if Jellyfin were breached or exploited. If you’re up for it, can you explain more about why that relates to port forwarding?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting with subdomains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure that’s gonna work with my Jellyfin 🤔🫤

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re going to end your sentences with “lol” you don’t also need to say that you’re Gen Z. One or the other will do. 😏

  I agree your original point stands, regardless of the timescales involved.

  The invention of the smart phone did make international travel less intimidating, even if some of the functions took a while to appear.
