- Comment on How do I contact Google webhosting to turn in a site for being scammers and breaking their terms of service? 2 days ago:
You don’t. You’re asking how to do free labor for a multitrillion-dollar company. Google chooses to be lax enough to constantly let this garbage through and makes gargantuan profits from it; they brought this on themselves. Migrate to a platform that hasn’t enshittified like Google has, tell your friends and family about it, and let Google wallow in the shithole they’ve created for themselves.

- Comment on AI crawlers cause Wikimedia Commons bandwidth demands to surge 50%. 6 days ago:
Not only that, but we make it goddamn trivial. Doing this is just stealing without attribution like the CC BY-SA 4.0 license demands and then on top of that kicking down the ladder for people who actually want to use Wikipedia and not the hallucinatory slop you’re trying to supplant it with. LLM companies have caused incalculable damage to critical thinking, the open web, and the climate.

- Comment on People from the Wild West deciding what time they'll casually throw their life away in a duel [Day 107] 1 week ago:
Duels? No clue, honestly. They definitey happened, but their frequency could definitely be overstated. As for meeting at noon? I think it sounds like the most reasonable time and would’ve been common if duels were common. This is pure, complete speculation on my part, so don’t repeat it without doing your own research, but I think the existing facts support my conclusion:
- Home clocks at the time were only seen among rich folks, often as a status symbol.
- Even if you did have one of these, they often lost quite a few minutes per day.
- Towns often had a clock for the church.
- This clock would’ve been more accurate than a home clock.
- This clock often rang at noon.
- Noon is (approximately) pretty easily verifiable by the position of the Sun being the highest in the sky.
- Noon means that neither party should have an advantage based on where the Sun is facing if you line up east–west.
- Noon is around a time most people are most likely to be the most awake.

Except you, Arizona Ranger and Texas Red. I didn’t forget about you.

Wouldn’t have known to look at a clearly delineated 1/3 of the image instead of the pretty picture if it weren’t for the yellow circle. Thanks for that.

- Comment on Road crews carry the world on their shoulders. They just aren't given enough to do what needs doing. 2 weeks ago:
The roads are bad because sprawling road (read: car) infrastructure is unsustainable and bankrupts cities. What we need is economically sustainable micromobility and public transit infrastructure.

I really don’t think this is true. It might push some politically engaged users to Firefox, but unlike Musk, most people don’t know who Thiel is, and as long as he keeps it that way, nobody will care.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 2 weeks ago:
Justice Department is 100% lobbing this over to JD Vance’s buddy Peter Thiel who’s going to enshittify it even further and turn it with its massive install base into a tool for techno-fascism.
