- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 9 hours ago:
Yeah, I know, but that doesn’t lend itself to comments that get upvotes, and I’m a slag for it.
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 14 hours ago:
I end up dribbling because the lid gets in my way, but it’s fine because I’m helping to offset the pollution caused by a billionaire’s private jet.
- Comment on Worth a try. 1 day ago:
You have to keep applying it. It’ll happen.
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 1 day ago:
Get thee to messenger.com then. Save it as a PWA and its like having the app but you give Meta as little as possible.
- Comment on Aging is fun 1 week ago:
I’m 44 and am really quite sick of having to be aware of drinking enough water.
Until just a few short years ago I could just crack on and not think about it. If my mouth was dry as Gandhi’s flip flops, I’d have a drink, otherwise I wouldn’t think about it.
Now I start to feel like shit, and can’t figure out why, until I remember that i’ve only had a point of water today and could probably stand to drink some more.
It’s bullshit.

- Comment on Trump says UK is protected from tariffs ‘because I like them’ as trade deal is signed off 1 week ago:
It’s only because we’ve got a royal family and he likes the golf in Scotland.
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 1 week ago:
Because it’s almost certainly an old, low spec device that they’ve bought a job lot of on clearance.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
As it currently stands, my Plex setup costs me nothing because all I do it stream from my server to my Apple TV. So it works well enough for me.

Can’t slow down videos I’ve downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽
- Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking 2 weeks ago:
As someone who uses and enjoys a MacBook, but who has recently moved away from iOS; one of the biggest problems I have with tech right now is how much ALL of the companies cripple their products so as to not cannibalise another. And I think Apple are the worst for it.
I have a 6th gen iPad mini. It’s form factor is perfect for hand held reading, social media, and the like. If I could plug it into a monitor and use Stage Manager to carry out light computing tasks it would be perfect. But Apple decided it simply wasn’t powerful enough, so didn’t enable it. It absolutely could do that, but that would have been one less selling point for the Airs and Pros. So Apple restricted it.
I’m old enough to remember when you’d buy computing stuff that had no restrictions beyond what it was physically capable of. You could buy a shitty graphics card and you could play a game, but if the card wasn’t up to the task it would run like crap. There are games and apps you literally cannot buy for lower end models of Apple devices. If you’ve already bought it on a device that can run it, it’s not available to another that can’t.
All so they can maintain their air of quality.
Fuck Apple. They make great hardware, but they’re run by cunts.
- Comment on YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk" 2 weeks ago:
Personally I don’t use YouTube the website at all at this point. I’m 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

If you were there he wouldn’t do or say a thing.

Top tier victim blaming, my friend.

If you don’t give the dick a little suck, how can you really know how nice it is?
- Comment on Correct Grindr Response 3 weeks ago:
My 2007 MacBook (white plastic) had a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. For my first MacBook it was a perfectly usable laptop, but boy did it drop off a cliff fast. Tried putting Linux on it a while back, but it didn’t want to know.
Meanwhile, the 2011 MacBook I replaced it with (Core i7, 16GB RAM) is running Mint like a dream.
- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 3 weeks ago:
I set up Wallabag on my Kobo last week and really don’t like it when compared with the default Pocket implementation. Having to mess about getting it set up, and having to install KOReader just to replicate a function I already had and used extensively is irritating as hell. And it’s not as good either.
Fuck Mozilla. They didn’t have to buy Pocket, and they didn’t have to shut it down. The pricks.

Also, HMU with Blue’s profile. I want to get some work out tips from him.
- Comment on Correct Grindr Response 3 weeks ago:
Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 weeks ago:
What did you do to get OSM working properly? I’ve not used it enough to get to know it because it’s not been reliable enough for me. But a couple of times it’s taken me as far as a road, but didn’t know where on the road my destination was.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 weeks ago:
Haven’t Samsungs always been trash though? From a software perspective, I mean?
I’ve never owned one, but I’ve tried to troubleshoot a few for relatives, and always found their version of Android to be just cunty.

I’m thick as mince and am running GrapheneOS, AND I came from 16 years of iPhones.
If I can do it, anyone can.

- Comment on You probably don't remember these but I have a question 3 weeks ago:
Further to the other answers; I have one of these for using my iPod in the car. It has the added bonus of taking line-level volume, so you set the volume from the head unit, not the iPod. And it can charge while you’re using it.
I think it’ll charge from the head unit’s USB socket without trying to connect, because the USB plug is just for charging.
