- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 day ago:
European governments and the EU definitely don’t care about us, their citizens, but most do see the threat coming from USA these days, thankfully
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 days ago:
How is that a “crazy theory”? Information control is not directly tied to capitalism but to any form of regime. The Western model and social media is, of course, strongly tied to capitalism and the desire for economic growth. How does that add to it?
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 days ago:
There is no better regime than the West in this regard. Force things on people? You’re gonna risk a revolt or dissent. ‘Subtly’ make people dependent on your product so they’ll voluntarily use it and share everything with you while you ‘subtly’ control the algorithm in your favour? Now that’s perfect. Social media is the ultimate tool of power and governance.
Although North Korea is a very “successful” oppressive regime, largely able to have full control over information both in and out of the country and to greatly limit desertion. I can’t think of a “better” regime in this regard.

Just to be clear though, it’s not a state programme. But fuck Germany’s stance on Israel for sure…

Huh? I’m not even from the UK or a royalist 😂 what is up with your stupid assumptions? Go touch some grass fam

“Never”? This is literally the only comment of mine you’ve ever seen 😂 bro, don’t tell me there’s not pleeenty of criticism of the Catholic church going around. By far the most scorned religious institution in the West.
Now what does this have to do with criticism of a pervasive issue in Japanese culture? Do we have to attach a list of every problematic institution every time criticism is given, or do you just have a weak ass mental? Bring an argument rather than ad hominem and we might actually have something relevant to talk about. Otherwise you’re just a tosser.

Don’t let fear of being “racist” keep you from calling a spade a spade. Japan has a track record when it comes to issues such as these.

You misunderstand. Elon is retired from US politics now, obviously, and will return to being a force of good!

- Comment on UK government withholding details of Palantir contract 1 week ago:
Paving the way for Reform next time… The Tories are evil and incompetent… Labour is evil and… well, a bit less incompetent but even more Big Brother… Reform is evil, and probably incompetent. “Probably” being the key word here
- Comment on Russia to enforce location tracking app on all foreigners in Moscow 1 week ago:
Russia had some kind of chance during the wild 90s, before Putin and his fellow chekists retook all control. In some ways the West should’ve had a different approach to Russia during this period of time and in the early 00s. Not that anyone or anything but Russian pride and megalomania, and Putin’s ambitions, are to blame for the current situation. At this point Russia has to be defeated and their overblown self-understanding changed.
Russia was kind of the drunk uncle before Putin’s intensification, filled with vodka drinking bear wrestlers, insane driving, and comrade jokes. This personified especially in Jeltsin’s behaviour

My company is “fully Microsoft”… fuck me
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I installed Zorin a couple of months ago and I’ve had no issue playing any game that I’ve wanted or any game already in my Steam library. I was warned that “there might be problems using Linux” but it literally works better than when I had W11

Oh don’t worry, using Duolingo would’ve never taught you a language anyway!

An AI would definitely do a better job than this twerp. He should live by what he preaches and step down

- Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux 2 weeks ago:
Yea, gaming has come a long long way thanks to Valve. I was also holding back due to this (and not wanting to spend too much of my spare time learning a new OS and commands etc) but I just installed Zorin (chosen for minimal effort) and hardly had to do anything. I struggled a bit to get Proton to work at first but now my entire Steam library works perfectly and I’m so much happier with it than I ever was using Windows. Gonna be getting my friends and some family on it as well!
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 3 weeks ago:
I switched Windows our with Linux Zorin some weeks ago. Everything works perfect as well, I can play all the games I have on Steam
- Comment on Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back 3 weeks ago:
You’re one of us then! ;)
But no, I just mean, between things like Northvolt, Think Pink, mines on Sami land etc it doesn’t take Klarna to show us that many things are amiss up here. And there are many crappy companies like Klarna; Lundin Energy and Embracer Group/Savvy Gaming just to name a couple. IKEA destroying ancient forests.
Not to mention that Sweden is essentially a wealth haven ruled by old aristocrats and a few oligarchs.
I’m impressed we were able to maintain such a good reputation internationally. I guess the whole world just sucks!

I assume you’re not from Scandinavia if you need Klarna as proof

Well, taking bribes seems to not only be tolerated but encouraged by the current administration. Can’t break the law if you are the law!
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 5 weeks ago:
Not really, no. Today the aversion to it has been imported, but not 15 years ago. Of course when you use it in English you know it’s a significantly worse word but you also don’t have the cultural bagage to know entirely what it entails. From what I gather, Felix has improved upon his ways in many ways and isn’t much of an “edgelord” anymore.

I agree with that assessment!
- Comment on AI crawlers cause Wikimedia Commons bandwidth demands to surge 50%. 1 month ago:
Not in this case, to be fair. The only concern is cost - since Wiki wouldn’t be opposed to them getting their actual data - and AI mazes are designed to safeguard more sensitive data, not reducing cost

Deezer is a very ethically poor company, unfortunately, due to their owner, Access Industries.
