Comments (quality ones) are the life of a community.

Not memes but I keep the address bar in the screen shot.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I feel the same way you do. I really don’t want to add to the download metrics. I’m making an exception this time. Some good journalists, for example Richard Chambers (Ireland), have downloaded it to test and debunk claims made by Musk about safeguards. I think their contribution was a net positive. So there are cases where it’s worth doing. I feel when it comes to a CSAM factory such as this (possibly even trained on CSAM material), and with EU headquarters in my country (Ireland), I have to report it so Apple cannot claim ignorance. Who knows, maybe a whistleblower will someday tell us how many reports there were. Unfortunately our leaders are not leading on this issue, so the social contract is broken and we should all (IMO) do much more than posting on social media.

Perfect. Done. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, this is very helpful!
It’s only allowing me report apps I’ve installed so I’m wondering if I should very briefly install the app to allow that. I’m generally cautions of allowing dodgy apps on my devices.
- Comment on That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.' 2 weeks ago:
Do tell. It deserves a post of its own.
- Comment on I'm NOT affiliated with this project. I just came across them in the Fediverse Subreddit, and I thought that it was interesting. Project Name - The Indie Beat TV - The Indie Beat Radio 3 weeks ago:
I just came here to post the same thing haha. It’s very cool! Reminds me of when MTV started. I’ve only watched about an hour of this station but it appears that:
- Live stream music video format
- Independent musicians feature
- There is a schedule you can view on the site to see which genres / shows you want to tune in for
- There are no presenters currently
- There is a group chat feature which sometimes opens for some viewings
- There is a follow button that lets you get notified of broadcast. It works via your fediverse handle.
Personally I think this is among the coolest things to happen online in some time.
- Comment on Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan 4 weeks ago:
Damn. Disappointed in Ubuntu and I’m not motivated to distro hop. But maybe it’s time to bite the bullet. It’s tricky because I also avoid software hosted on Microsoft services such as GitHub. Ubuntu being hosted on Launchpad helped there.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 5 weeks ago:
Hold on: isn’t it a smear to say someone has a bad reputation and not supply a reason? Because you’re basically giving me your interpretation and no substance.
He is hard working. It’s difficult to build and communicate and do open source but all of those things are happening with regards to Loops. Nobody is perfect and a label like “bad reputation” is very subjective.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 5 weeks ago:
Somewhere between being a hater and a fanboy, there’s basic respect. And it’s a one-person project for now, not a big company, so the words we choose should reflect that.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 5 weeks ago:
You’ve expressed my feelings about it exactly. It’s very easy to criticise things that aren’t custom made to our individual preferences. But every time we do that we short circuit our capacity for reflection and empathy. I wonder if developers are so often a target of harshness and abuse because software users are used to instant gratification.
It’s a monumental job he’s doing and open sourcing it is basically a gift to the entire internet. The new features keep coming and with video being so expensive to host, it’s a very different undertaking to non-video social media.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 5 weeks ago:
I suppose that by using the word “publish”, I made it sound like the algorithm had been private until this point. I could probably have chosen a better phrasing like “published breakdown illustration”.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 5 weeks ago:
Not that I know of, but you could make a feature request if one doesn’t already exist github.com/joinLoops

- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 3 months ago:
Welcome to the club :) I used to play it in the 90s. Then I got distracted my more flashy games. I just rediscovered it recently and I really enjoy the polish and graphics.
- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 3 months ago:
Thanks for this. I tend to avoid power ups if it means I might lose the ball. That strategy obviously isn’t a good one here :) I appreciate it very much! This is one of my favourite games so thank you again!
- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 3 months ago:
I’m assuming it’s the default in LBreakout2HD. I just installed the game and started playing.

I don’t see lookmovie2.to there. That’s another one.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 4 months ago:
Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.

I would have understood this quicker if the picture wasn’t of a bird.

- Comment on Germany's Ecosia, a nonprofit search engine, said on Thursday it has submitted a proposal to assume a 10-year stewardship of Google Chrome 5 months ago:
Thanks. Yeah I think if a company like Ecosia is involved it could be win-win. But if it’s another purely capitalist outfit then it’ll probably be business as usual.
- Comment on Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines. 5 months ago:
I forgot about the paywall and assumed this was due to their international reputational damage, over things like their pro-Israel “reporting” of the occupations in Palestine.
- Comment on Germany's Ecosia, a nonprofit search engine, said on Thursday it has submitted a proposal to assume a 10-year stewardship of Google Chrome 5 months ago:
That sounds clever. With a stewardship, a company without the obscene wealth that Google has could actually adopt a project normally out of their reach and influence it for good.
I wish the article went into more detail though.
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 5 months ago:
Microwaves are very energy heavy. This isn’t very reassuring at all.

The ‘tism can be a great asset for seeing through BS, along with education.
