I’m doing my part!
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 2 days ago:
Cause using AOSP benefits Google’s ability to limit their app restrictions.
Tell me you don’t understand open source without telling me you don’t understand it…

Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.
- Comment on Day 441 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Xbox version was awesome. I started on it. I “upgraded” to bedrock and had desynced drowns kill me. It just wasn’t the same.
- Comment on A robot programmed to act like a 7-year-old girl works to combat fear and loneliness in hospitals 2 weeks ago:
Oh shit. That’s memories. Creeped me the hell out back in the day…
- Comment on How It Works: Bunker Buster Bomb 4 weeks ago:
What’s with the one million Saddam memes? Is this like supposed to be funny?
Usually with science memes, I’d expect not to lose brain cells looking at them…
- Comment on 100 killed in one day including children queuing for water in Gaza 4 weeks ago:
Gosh. Disturbing and insightful. Never thought about it that way before.
- Comment on Official Training 5 weeks ago:
Here in the UK, the bins have wheels and the truck lifts them. They just wheel it to the vehicle
- Comment on Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims 5 weeks ago:
I’d second that. I grew up in a really supportive family, but when I got to teenage years, I kept stuff to myself. Wanted to solve my problems myself. Pride and embarrassment and nothing to do with how they parented.
- Comment on Imagine if the only thing limiting your dreams was a livable income 1 month ago:
Unless it’s an FFP3 mask, it probably won’t keep him fully safe.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
Have you even read the full thread?
“I detest Elon and xitter as much as anyone, but there is zero comparison. If anything, it just shows how far you’ve gone.”
Do you understand what detest means?
Why folk defend a place that is full of racial slurs is beyond me? Unless they’re racist and homophobic, that is.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
No. I’m making it clear equating the 2 ain’t right. It looks like you’re trying to defend and normalise 4chan.
To try and say, “yeah, there is racial slurs, but it’s great for culture” is trying to justify unacceptable views.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
Maybe more, but every other post on xitter doesn’t use the n word. You cannot compare just numbers. Actions are key. 4chan is a cesspool.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
Just because you’re comfortable with racial and homophobic slurs in most posts, doesn’t mean it’s not hateful.
I detest Elon and xitter as much as anyone, but there is zero comparison. If anything, it just shows how far you’ve gone.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 1 month ago:
Ughhh. It’s git. Same technology.
It’s worth learning a bit more about technology.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 1 month ago:
They probably don’t. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 month ago:
Because typing in bank details every time is a pain and saving them is a big no no as many companies seem to get hacked. Trusting only 1 company with bank details limits the blast radius.
- Comment on An oldie 1 month ago:
An elaborate way of scientists saying we have no idea.
It’s like doctors and idiopathic conditions.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
I was referring to their credibility being short lived. I have no idea of their AGI usage. I’m still annoyed that when the UK Labour party had a left wing leader, they spent a lot of effort discrediting him. They’re usually crap on Israel/Palestine and have been historically pro-zionist on the UK site.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
It was short lived. It is often called the Grauniad because of poor quality typos etc. historically.

AI dick measuring contest?
- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 1 month ago:
Tried dual booting?
Linux for personal, Windows for work? I’d personally not mix work and personal on same device. Failing that, same OS.
- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 1 month ago:
Minecraft Java runs fine. Bedrock is pretty meh tbh.

Weird. I’m pretty sure I have played via steam and it worked. I’ll maybe try later if I remember.
- Comment on Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species” 1 month ago:
It didn’t. It probably was coded not to admit it didn’t know. So first it responded with bullshit, and now denial and self-loathing.
It feels like it’s coded this way because people would lose faith if it admitted it didn’t know.
It’s like a politician.
- Comment on Nvidia and AMD to pay 15% of China chip sales revenues to the U.S. government, FT reports 1 month ago:
He probably knows. Redistributing wealth from working people to the rich via tax breaks and handouts.
Standard capitalism.
- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 1 month ago:
Who’d buy a shitty rust bucket with BS like this?
I feel this would not be allowed in the UK under the Sale of Goods Act.
- Comment on It's time to boycott U.S. digital services! Here's a chart to help you do so: 2 months ago:
No Proton Mail or Jitsi Meet?
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 2 months ago:
Because they’ve always railed against the nanny state. Kemi is a dreadful populist. It isn’t popular.
You’re simply making excuses for Keir and anyone that disagrees doesn’t understand. Copium.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 2 months ago:
Not really the narrative. Reform opposes it and Tories likely will. Only Lib Dems will complain and media ignore them anyway.
Our media are bad, but not that tabloid.
