Don’t engage with the troll. They know this. They aren’t commenting in good faith. They’re just trying to wear you down and distract you with absurdity.

1984 forced all of that.
Brave New World, people LOVE it and can’t imagine any other way to live.
Brave New World is the nightmare dystopia we CHOOSE, not the one that gets forced on us.

We are MUCH MUCH closer to the BNW/Fahrenheit 451 dystopias than 1984.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
I hate to say it, but there’s no fast answer to that question.
The best answer seems to be what most smart countries are doing right now… slowly unwinding their dependency on the US and finding alternative suppliers for everything critical they need so they can get the leverage they need to criticize and resist. This has the added benefit of isolating the US economically, reducing its currency’s ability to influence things.
Over time the US will grow less and less able to throw its weight around, and eventually a tipping point will be reached where picking an ideological fight with the US won’t have a major impact. That’s when the US will be stopped.

THAT I buy.
- Comment on Port-a-potty company files for bankruptcy to wipe away $2.4bn in debt 1 week ago:
It still doesn’t make sense to me… Surely you’d notice you’re at overcapacity somewhere around 1 billion in excess shit houses.
- Comment on Port-a-potty company files for bankruptcy to wipe away $2.4bn in debt 1 week ago:
Okay… I have to ask… HOW does a port-a-potty company wind up 2.4 billion in debt???
You buy the port-a-potty, you rent it out. You delivery it, you pick it up, you clean it. I cannot imagine an industry with more predictable costs.
- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 1 week ago:
In many cases that accessibility is a full-on neutered replacement for a previous system that offered more user control and customizability, removing options from power users, so one man’s progress is another man’s step backwards.
- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 1 week ago:
Repairability isn’t about the physical realities of executing the repair - that’s a user end problem to be solved and people are often eager to tackle those.
It’s about the manufacturer not being allowed to explicitly make design decisions that make it intentionally harder to do so than is strictly necessary as a side effect of the basic design.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 weeks ago:
Who would make this “default” Linux? Who would be in charge of it? What power would they have over directing development of the kernel? What happens when this centralization that’s so important to soothing the confusion of people who aren’t even using the OS yet inevitably causes it to enshitify and brings us right back to the Windows problem?
No, I’m sorry - there may be some things that would make Linux more palatable to non-techies, but this just recreates the Windows problem again. The same dichotomy that’s been at play for the past 30 years is still at play - you can have it easy or you can have freedom and control, but you can’t have both.
- Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a really nice idea, but bad developers are already so deep in the sunk cost fallacy that they’ll likely just double down.
Nobody reassesses their dogma just because the justification for it is no longer valid. That’s not how people work.

If you’re waiting for a xenophobia-free society with no right-wing nationalist presence before you’re allowed to say something nice about a place, I’m afraid the only place we’re allowed to praise is the moon.
- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 2 weeks ago:
Get yourself some universal health care, good roads, affordable small cars, and cheap, beautiful old houses in the countryside.
- Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman. 3 weeks ago:
If you seriously had any interest in engagement, you wouldn’t be using EXTREMELY domain specific language in an attempt to sound smarter than everyone else. You’d be explaining, in laymen’s terms, exactly what your suspicion is in an accessible way the way ANY real expert in their field is trained to do from day one. Instead you’re either an actual expert who is extremely poor at the communicative aspect of your job, or a troll here to sow dissent and cloud the conversation. Either way, I’m appreciative that you read the room and decided to leave of your own initiative. It shows a level of awareness neither of your prior posts had, and it’s refreshing.
