Reddit Refugee because Steve Huffman got Musk-pilled. Opinions are my own and boy do I have some.
- Comment on Celebrate 50 years of Microsoft with the company's original source code. 14 hours ago:
“original”…
That’s a stretch since M$ bought QDOS and modified it to become “MS-DOS”.
🙄 🙄
- Comment on Amazon is testing a Buy for Me button powered by agentic AI that will let users purchase products from third-party websites without leaving Amazon's app. 15 hours ago:
So… Even more “automatic” ways to funnel ever more money into Bezos’ pockets…???
Hell, no.
Amazon and their Echo system can Fuck Right Off.

- Comment on DOGE official at DOJ bragged about hacking, distributing pirated software. 1 day ago:
Sounds to me like he was just fulfilling the prerequisites for his current gig… 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️

Dumbest. Idea. Ever.
Any attachment/arrangement/relationship with Zuck would “signal” the end of Signal.
Fuck Zuck and anything he’s attached to.

- Comment on 'X' Marks xAI's Spot: xAI has acquired X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. 6 days ago:
Elmo finds yet another way to pad his perceived value…
Sell shit companies (both of which you own) to yourself at exorbitantly inflated prices with “stock only” trades.
And no accounting shall be had cause steal-ionnairs just can.
🙄 🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕 🖕
- Comment on How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon? 1 week ago:
I don’t have anyone suggesting to me to follow hashtags. Just the indication that it’s a thing I can do if I want.
Given the number of hashtags I see in some posts (esp heavy hashtag users (whom I hate cause the post becomes almost unreadable)) I can certainly see the number of posts returned for any given hashtag could be instantly overwhelming.
I’ve never actually followed a hashtag so don’t have much to say about that… Other than perhaps that maybe has something to do with why I don’t feel overwhelmed on Mastodon. 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
I just handpick and choose entities (people/news sources) to follow.
- Comment on The UK will neither confirm nor deny that it’s killing encryption 4 weeks ago:
Welp…
Guess they don’t really need to confirm that which is blatantly obvious to the casual observer…
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ 🤷♂️
- Comment on Every hour children spend on screens raises chance of myopia, study finds 5 weeks ago:
Not just computers…
As a septuagenarian, started very early as a voracious reader. Usually in bed before sleep. Often by flashlight.
Needed correction for nearsightedness by age 10.
Saw a study recently that attributed significant amounts of reading as a cause… Tend to believe. This study seems to come to same/similar conclusion. Also tend to believe.
Can never be certain, but… 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤔

“will eventually roll into a subscription model”…
At which point I will happily cease and forego any/all use of Kindle.
Sunk costs and all.

- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 month ago:
In the world I want to live in…
Google would have taken a principled stand against such an attempt at a govt.
Instead, they bent the knee along with every other Tech Oligarch and, therefore, deserve the hit.
- Comment on Unofficial TikTok downloads surge in the US 1 month ago:
Whew…
Lotta words for a semantics quibble that amounts to a distinction without a difference… 🤷♂️
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 month ago:
If there existed any valid reasoning for the change… 🤷♂️ But the Felon Dicktater is only doing it so he can claim himself architect of global geographic change. Same reason he wants Greenland, Panama, Gaza, etc. Fuck that. I back Sheinbaum on this one. Won’t matter, but do it anyway.
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 1 month ago:
Well… Yet another case of research confirming the bleeding obvious.
I guess having confirmation is good… 🤷♂️

Yep, seems legit, eh? 🤣
