- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 2 days ago:
My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.
Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.
Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.
Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.
The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 5 days ago:
I think you can just assume at this point the US government does not care about the constitution or it’s people and will use any means necessary to collect data on those who wish to counter its growing authoritarian nature.
If you go to a protest, only take a burner phone or no phone at all. If you must take your phone, turn it off and Faraday cage it.
The US has become a failed state. Leave if you can. Things will only get worse before it completely implodes.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
I was angrily wishing I could preheat the oven while I was on my way home from work. That’s when I realized the reason for a WiFi oven.
Maybe a better oven is better than wifi. It only takes my oven a few minutes to get up to temp.
I come home, turn it on, fiddle with “getting home shit”, and by the time I’m done it’s ready to go. No wifi needed.

That’s a pretty basic program with simple software needs.
If the programming is such shit there is a chance they need connectivity to update it or patch the code once it’s gone into production, it might be best to look into another product.

- Comment on Grok got a Nazi patch 1 week ago:
Q: Did the holocaust happen?
Grok Answer: Yes, the Holocaust happened. From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany systematically persecuted and murdered approximately six million Jews, along with millions of others including Romani people, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and homosexuals. This genocide was carried out through concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings, and other atrocities. Extensive historical evidence—including survivor testimonies, Nazi documentation, photographs, and physical remnants like concentration camp sites—confirms the scale and horror of these events. Denying or minimizing the Holocaust contradicts well-established facts and is often rooted in anti-Semitic propaganda.

Stephen Miller is basically a Nazi
He’s a fucking JEWISH Nazi - which is the worst kind of self loathing Nazi.
He’d be the first in the showers when the real Nazis come to town.
He’s a pathetic loser.
- Comment on Guaranteed NO ONE ever used this on their face 1 week ago:
I gave one of these to my girlfriend the day before I had to go away on business for 2 months.
She said “What is this for?”
I said “It’s a replacement for my you-know-what.”
She said “Oh, ok. I think I get it.”
I got home 2 months later and she had 3 chipped teeth.

I once spent 45 minutes trying to get ChatGPT to write a haiku. It couldn’t do it. It explained what syllables were, and the rules for the syllables in a haiku, but it didn’t understand it.

I recently re-watched The Net. There are some pretty silly things in there.
One of my favourites was Sandra on the beach, in mid day tropical sunshine, using one of those old 1994 laptop screens. Riiiiiiight.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 4 weeks ago:
If I’m sitting on the couch, the phone is not on me. It’s on the table next to me or on a counter somewhere. I don’t even always look at it if I get a message. Sometimes I’ll wait hours after I get a message to read it.

This can probably be argued that places that deny phones, like courts, could be charged with criminal intent against you.

Canada has it’s share of bad cops, but it is nowhere near the thin blue line gangland of US cops. It’s fucking crazy down there. They are worse than mob gangs because you can at least pay the mob for protection.
All these US cops grew up watching the Cops TV show and they see everyone as criminals and below them. They want so bad to shoot and beat up the bad guy they don’t stop to think if the person they are beating up actually did anything wrong.
US cops need to be jailed and replaced with citizens that want to help the society they live in.

About $300 is what the mechanics in the area usually charge. The dealership is more.

This is your defence? LOL
Only 29.8% of Americans cared enough to stop a known criminal with an authoritarian bent become the last president you’ll ever have?
31% wanted it,
1.1% voted for someone they knew wouldn’t win.
38.1% don’t give a shit what happens. Possibly these people were purged from voter rolls and had their vote stolen. But knowing Americans, I’d happen to guess that percent is well below .5% of the non-voter segment.
Pathetic.

I hate all these automatic sensors in new cars. I don’t usually buy new cars, I get ones that are a few years used. Almost all of them have a light on the dash for a “tire error” because the stupid sensor has died and no one in their right mind wants to spend $300 to replace a thing that tells you your tire pressure is low. Plus, the things die in a few years anyway.
I just do the Homer Simpson solution and put a bit of black tape over the tire error light.
