Can’t wait for the water wars to start. :-/
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 1 week ago:
- Linux tutorials need to get idiot proof.
- They need to work on giving people knowledge about driver support. “Why doesn’t my bluetooth/sound/wifi work anymore?” shouldn’t be such a common issue for people switching to those OSs.
- If Recall is sending your information to offsite servers, what’s stopping people from flooding those servers with bs?
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 weeks ago:
Not only was the apology horrible, but for any user on that platform for YEARS: obviously puts the thought in their head that spez could be changing their words by directly editing the db, and getting them put on a list for wrong-speak. Sure, that’s possible with any DB, but he proved it was actually something being done on that site. Given his role, a major red flag, as this type of action would normally result in someone being fired.
Reddit has since IPOd and is going to probably do well as a stock because of all the information it harvests from users.

I’ll never forget how he changed users’ text without them knowing it before the 2016 election. Reddit was going downhill before, but that was a turning point.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 4 weeks ago:
Exactly. You have no clue why they’re speeding either. Sure it could be some a-hole, but it could also be someone with a medical situation, or someone that’s about to poop their pants.
When I was younger I used to stay in the lane. Now I move over if it’s safe, and let them pass. Not worth the chance of accidentally upsetting a psycho.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 1 month ago:
Make an AI that is trained on the books.
Tell it to tell you a story for one of the books.
Read the story without paying for it.
The law says this is ok now, right?
- Comment on What is your most memorable anime binge session? 1 month ago:
Before streaming, I would need to wait for the next VHS or DVD to arrive at the store to see what happened next. Evangelion in particular only had the last VHS in Japanese in my local store (I was young and preferred the dubs). It was fun waiting for the next one to come out. Gave me something to look forward to.
Same goes for Berserk 97. When I found out the last DVD was it for the series, I was like WHAT? Surely there will be follow up.
And now it’s 2025. They tried a few times but we all know what happened.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 1 month ago:
404media is pretty solid, for what it’s worth.
- Comment on Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices. 3 months ago:
I understand where you’re coming from, because many societies are being structured in ways that make it feel like you are only hurting yourself by not being just and moral. It’s truly horrible when trying to live a life following “the good” puts you in the path of pain all the time, working jobs you don’t want to afford not to be put out on the street (and God forbid you want to have kids if you’re in a high cost of living area).
With all that being said: I’d fear becoming an evil person more than dying poor. I hope that we can work together to make a world that isn’t run by greedy, bad people.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 3 months ago:
They’re either extremely uneducated in current standards of living, or being purposefully deceitful. I’d like to think it’s the former. They should have a class for rich people so they can understand what life is like without family money or high salaries.
- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 3 months ago:
I’ve seen way too many of these cars, both in my town and in other states. I always want to know what could compel this vibe but I keep my distance, and I’ve never seen a driver.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Jumped to linux with a new laptop, but not gaming on it. It’s fine for what I need. My old machine will be for gaming only.
