- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 week ago:
I also had to switch accounts because after an update, the banking app didn’t work any longer on my rooted phone and I couldn’t log in. Thankfully, I’ve been keeping two accounts since forever, with the main motivation being that banks really like changing their TOS and introducing all sorts of fees, which I don’t want.

I use it to (re)compress audiobooks, podcasts and such, they still sound very good at 32 kbps.

Maybe I’m missing the point, but COL in other countries is also only a fraction of the US’s. We don’t live in hunger and squalor over here, you know. To move, you won’t need significant savings.
No, the real issue, as with all migration from high- to low-wage countries, is that you cannot easily return for retirement because you’re not going to be able to save enough for the US’s housings prices or rents. - Comment on Tens of thousands protest Germany's far right as Musk backs AfD 5 weeks ago:

Or, for another perspective: In terms of population, Ohio and Belgium are pretty much equal, but the former has 4x the area.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
Can there really be an objective measurement? You should think first thing data harvesters would implement is a sort of cloak, to erase any traces of what’s going on. Think Dieselgate, but more sophisticated. E.g. phone detects it’s being tested, or is in the hands of a state attorney or whatever, the recording/ forwarding/ prcoessing of data stops.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
Same here. Confidential discussion with lawyer/ doctor/ pharmacist, get relevant ads at once. Therefore, I made it a habit to completely turn off my phone before entering such situations, and, if I can, put it in a switched-off microwave, Snowden-style.

- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 1 month ago:
The “likes by dead people” story broke in 2012. Ever since, I’ve been assuming that most likes for the stuff I’ve been posting, especially from friends I’ve not talked to in many years, are inorganic and inauthentic. Still I post sometimes because I know a few people actually do care about what I’m up to and we don’t meet very often at all. Of course, I strip all EXIF data from my photos first.

Obviously, medical supervision is advised if you intend to do this for a long time, say, more than 2 weeks. - Comment on same as it ever was 3 months ago:
Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which, over ages and ages, has been optimized to take the convenient shape of a sock.
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 3 months ago:
DAE remember that movie White Noise? The climax was fucking horrifying and I admit that it haunted me for quite a while.
For better or worse, kids today probably won’t get it.
