- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 3 days ago:
But it voids that clause in the contract. So they can leave as many reviews as they like and the company can do jack shit to impose sanctions for doing so.
- Comment on Pirates are just hyperindividualized, privatized navies engaged in a competitive market with one another so how can they be worse than navies according to the logic of capitalism? 4 days ago:
Because they lost to us which makes us the victors thus we get to write history and since we get to write history we are in fact always the good guys.

Getting anything out is already almost impossible. I moved sway from 3rd party cloud storage a couple years back. I had to get 500gb from onedrive and it was refusing to download at anything more than 50kb/s (my internet was significantly better than that)

The extension kilocode let’s u connect to any openai api comparable endpoint. I’ve got it hooked up to my instance of openwebui so I can use remote models via open routers or use locals models.
- Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases? 1 week ago:
I pay OpenRouter they give me access to pretty much all models from all providers at the market rate per token.
I have it hooked up to openwebui which I use for finding almost all information as it had a searxng tool to search for things.
I also use KiloCode its an agentic code editor for vscodium.

- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 3 weeks ago:
Are schools not government organisations (in most cases) and would they not be subject to the first amendment?

Just a quick reminder a cow cannot release one single carbon atom that wasn’t taken out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis.
- Comment on "Conservatives" what are you really? 3 weeks ago:
Not a conservative but get called one a lot so we go.
I hold only 2 core beliefs and everything else is derived from those 2.
I believe in liberty and equality (of opportunity).
This via logical conclusions leads me to many an opinion that are considered conservative.
For instance abortion is murder but it is also a woman’s right to get an abortion.
Equality of the unborn child to have an opportunity at life makes it murder. Liberty of the mother to not be forced to have that child is liberty. Liberty outweighs life such sentiment is summed up perfectly via.

- Comment on Apart, low in cholesterine 4 weeks ago:
Well most gases dissolve in water especially at higher pressures so it would be like sparkling water but with hydrogen not co2 (maybe but who knows).
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 4 weeks ago:
Water is evaporated which takes a lot of energy due to latent heat. Essentially its very energy expensive to boil water.

- Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU? 4 weeks ago:
Not a coincidence that this comes I to existence just after TPM requirements. They want to lock everyone into using only government approved software. The death of freedom and liberty.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 5 weeks ago:
Couple things. As long as its grounded to the microwave ground then its fine (yes even inside). If ur microwave is interfering with WiFi u have a serious radiation leakage problem (not good). U need an area larger than the wavelength of non conductivity for leakage so u would need a pretty big hole to leak microwaves.
I suspect what’s actually happening is the microwave transformer is leaking non microwave em radiation which is causing the interference (maybe via come capacitive coupling bs). Or ur microwave is busted and spitting out the wrong wavelength.
Either way I would test if a different microwave in the same location causes the same problems and if so its busted. If the WiFi antenna is near the microwave try moving it first.
- Comment on YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 5 weeks ago:
They can still view it I believe but can’t create an account. Also the whole thing is complete bullshit and is almost entirely for censorship and tracking all activity to a real identity.
