- Comment on Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye. 2 days ago:
I was looking up bike lanes in a city I was thinking of buying a house in and the map had property lines on it, with the registered owners names plastered in every space.

Master Chief Collection came out in late 2014.
- Comment on Tim Cook praises DeepSeek AI, which could mean a partnership is in the works 1 week ago:
What if he’s just throwing shade at Apple’s own AI division?
- Comment on If you have a circle of friends, then by definition they are all fringe 1 week ago:
There’s an inside part of a circle, too.
- Comment on Google Hijacks Restaurants Booking System Leading To No Reservations Being Available. 2 weeks ago:
Why even have a phone number if it is useless?
Really? Are reservations the only use for a phone?
A publicly shared phone number for the restaurant? Pretty much. It has limited uses for checking hours and holidays and such, but the primary use is going to be checking availability to eat at the restaurant. If that’s not something you can get over the phone, 99% of the reason to have a public facing phone number is negated.
- Comment on The human hand is incredibly good at seeing what's inside your pocket 3 weeks ago:
When you’re jiggling around in your pocket for it and there’s other coins in there too, it becomes harder to do.
Well, sure. Adding many variables usually makes anything harder to do. But that generally just means it takes a little more effort.
Are your hands horribly mangled or something? Am I bringing up something hard for you to deal with?

A nickel is smaller and thicker, and has a smooth edge compared to the quarter. Can you not tell the difference?
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 3 weeks ago:
Being bought, or being sold? There’s a difference. If they’re not being bought at those numbers, they’ll still show up the most.
They also said “starting”, which implies that’s what it’s being sold at, not what you see the most listings for.

At least two.

I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 4 weeks ago:
They’re conflating tech with tech bros.
Tech can and does make lots of things that make our lives longer and better. Just not most of the consumer level shit that is constantly peddled by snake oil sellers. That tech is not meant to make your lives easier, it’s meant to get more money out of you without giving it up to the little people at service level.
The problem isn’t the tech, it’s the people who are controlling the tech.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but most cries (including this article) aren’t “We want both” but “We want small instead”. The article goes out of its way to ridicule “huge” phones.
The battle cry seems to be demanding it their way instead of variety.
- Comment on "We love Star Trek because there is no D.E.I." 4 weeks ago:
They didn’t need DEI because they were naturally diverse (in universe, at least).

I believe Serie is well over 5000 years old, and the only current threat to her life is assassination.
- Comment on One Piece will survive next generation too. 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t Dragon Ball start before One Piece, and technically isn’t it still going?
Unless you specifically mean Z
- Comment on BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News. 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t like it because it seemed pointless if you don’t really care about getting vengeance on specific thing. So the name of a mob that kills you fills in an empty space? Which is the same thing that happens any time you hit a story beat anyways? What’s the point? It’s all just randomly generated grunts that try and kill you.
It brought very little in the way of innovative gameplay and roleplaying, yet people seem to treat it as the greatest revolution of game design in the last several decades.
- Comment on 'Uber for Armed Guards' Rushes to Market Following the Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO | Are you scared to walk down the streets of NYC and also have too much money? There's an app for that 1 month ago:
Their response wasn’t to fix the problem, it was to find a better way to subjugate people. Clearly his methods aren’t the solution. They’re just an easy way to pass the problem off to someone else without you having to put in the effort to help fix it yourself.

Sold!

There’s a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 month ago:
This is not a righteous crusade for the downtrodden, you are not defending a moral outrage. It’s a petty school yard slapfight.
It’s annoying, but it’s not diabolical. No one is functionally harmed by this, they just get a bruised ego.
On scales of capitalist damages in the world, this barely makes a ripple.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 month ago:
Google is dictating “This is how it’s referred to by one of the two countries encompassing the gulf”. Is it dumb as fuck? Sure. But they’re not deciding that people should be using it, only that in official terms, that is one of the names.
That doesn’t mean you have to like it, or that it shouldn’t be fought against… but it’s not like they’re some malevolent actor trying to get one over on the righteous hero either.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 month ago:
It’s referred to as Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. Elsewhere it’s referred to either Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) or Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico).
They didn’t rename it for everyone, just for those living in jurisdictions falling under Car Salesman in Chief.

Honestly, I don’t think Riker ever really got over that hologram. He settled for Deanna.

Outside sarcastic internet forums? Probably, yeah.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 1 month ago:
You are the exception, not the rule. Just because you have an easy time with something does not mean everyone does. Everyone experiences interaction in a different way.
Just because it brings no value to your life does not mean that opinion is universal.
