- Comment on NYPD robocops: Hulking, 400-lb robots will start patrolling New York City 1 week ago:
Doest matter if they’re shitty, they’re both doing surveillance on the public, and normalizing having robots roaming around ‘policing’ you.
Literally tomorrow they could just start detecting your skin tone and start alerting ICE that you need to be deported. Ya think when ICE shows up they’re gonna listen to you as you state your case? Nah, the bot told us you’re an immigrant about to commit a crime.

Plus all social nets or any amount of financial or health help have been cut or are on the chopping block as we speak. Fun times.

- Comment on Google to Integrate Gemini AI into Android Auto for Smarter In-Car Experience 3 weeks ago:
My favorite thing to hate on Android auto is: if you get a call or text while using google maps for directions, the notification blocks your view or your directions. I’ve passed many highway exits because indrivw wirh the boice dictation off, i hate driving with ‘turn left, turn right, turn left…’ Announcing every 2 minutes while I’m in the car so I glance the screen before I need to make turns. In this case, if someone messages or calls you before an exit number or turn on google laps, you will miss it.

Oh good! Glad it was a simple fix!
- Comment on Ubisoft connect downloads 0kb/s 4 weeks ago:
Dumb question, but you verified you have enough disk space?
I was going to suggest Lutris, i have never used it but i think it can download the game directly from Ubisoft Connect, but I just realized Lutris is Linux only and I’m assuming you’re on windows.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 5 weeks ago:
Good catch, while I guess they’re not using postmarketOS, that’s what was supopeted on the debice i had, and what enabled me to test out the mobile version to gnome shell, and try out the phone app ecosystem. It seems like its ready for prime time, especially since waydroid performs so well, android apps can fill the void for any missing native Linux apps.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 5 weeks ago:
No idea as i haven’t gotten mine yet. They’re still filling the next pre-order batch of production, but from the reviews on their website, it seems as responsive as you’d expect from android, which was a huge problem with Dev phones like the pinephone, they were way too sluggish with terrible battery life.

I was given an old Chromebook tablet by a friend that wanted to get rid of it, and it just happened to have mainline Linux support. I was able to get postmarketOS running on it, and got gnome shell mobile as the DE. It works, and works well. The apps that support the touch interface and are made to be responsive, etc work really well, and the waydroid integegration works fantastically well. I was able to get android version of jellyfin working, with vlc, and a few other apps I use daily. All this in 4GB of ram, I’m really impressed!
Its time for a Linux phone, I put in an order for the 2nd batch of this phone, hopefully they start shipping soon!

- Comment on What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500 2 months ago:
I bought a vaccum from goodwill for $24 when I moved to a new city 11 year ago and its still kicking. Crazy to me to spend $500 cad on something like a vaccum.

I think you better go ask someone on your opposing political spectrum if they’d leave you alone if they found out you had a gun when knocking on your door to arrest or harm you.

Lmao to quote you, GTFO out here with that
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Explain to me how a gun would help you when police or government agents come knocking on your door, I’m genuinely interested in hearing how you think that will play out.
- Comment on How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening? 2 months ago:
I feel like there are being purposely mis-managed to stall momentum. My city had 2 protests the same day a few weeks back and the one I went to only got like 100 people to attend. Why was there 2 protests instead of 1 larger protest?
- Comment on Pre-ablo: Diablo prerelease demo patched for modern systems 2 months ago:
I know the usual thing in tech and hacker community is usually ‘why not??’ when people ask ehy someone did a project, but this one has me scratching my head when Devilution-X exists. I’m really questioning why someone would go through the effort to finish this project.
