- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 days ago:
Hey buddy, it’s your PC, not mine. I’d just rather know a multi-billion dollar corporation isn’t spying on my every move than reckon they aren’t.
Microsoft has proven on multiple occasions that they really don’t give a shit about the word “no”, so if it’s worth it, by all means, bend over, cover your ears and keep taking it without any lube.

Microsoft: he thinks it’s actually off lmao
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 days ago:
Linux, as an alternative, is insane. Just setting up the OS itself is another fucking hobby.
Great OS, too bad most people aren’t savvy enough to tweak minor settings.
- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 5 days ago:
They’re not looking for the culprit. They’re looking for $100k.
Gonna be a lot of false arrests and fingerpointing.

It’ll go in endless circles until it finds out why its wrong,
then it will go right back to them anyway! lol
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 6 days ago:
Depends on the song as well.
Are we comparing a rip of a 1990’s album to a remaster, or a vinyl rip?
I guess if you really want to find a baseline, pick a band that’s known for audio quality and pick an album with the best.

Quiet you, I’m trying to buy in while they’re still under the radar.

How do you know someone uses Plex?
Check their browser history for ChatGPT queries.

Huh, I guess centralizing all of that userdata was a bad idea. Weird. If you hack some dude’s Jellyfin, you just hack some dude and no one else.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 week ago:
Essentially.
The fediverse, small-web, ubb-boards, xda, and parts of the darkweb, as well as places like 4chan all belong to a sort-of bound community.
Facebook, Google, Tiktok, Instagram etc make up the mainsteam internet with Tumblr and Reddit on the sidelines.
It’s getting worse, it even trickles down to software choices and piracy. Choose Linux and trust the community, run Kodi and fight constant update breakage on Youtube and corporate streaming solutions when Jellyfin and samba shares just work?
At what point does their world of influence become seemingly worse than ours by default and everyone just ignores them? Will the giants allow themselves to be ignored? I believe they will eventually make self-sufficiency impossible. Somehow, some day, you won’t have any of these choices and everyone will be nickle and dimed to death until the entire internet is an unskippable full-screen ad.
From some mobile-only average working Joes out there, that’s all it already is.

- Comment on Someone else will retire me when the time comes. 1 week ago:
They have several product lines and many are still made in the states, but from what I’ve seen in-store, their Chinese footwear might be made there but they’re a tight on designs with them as the US-made boots, although many of the cheaper boots have molded soles instead of welts, so it isn’t exactly 1-1 comparisons.
- Comment on Someone else will retire me when the time comes. 1 week ago:
The best mid-high range brand boot is RedWing.
They’re not “the best”, but they’re close and they have stores everywhere and they’re serious about boots.
Do not go to Boot Barn…

I bought a pair in 1994 and still wear them

Boot-person, here.
You know who’s secretly laughing inside? Any boot fan looking at your fake ass Doc Martens or Timberlands.
Both sold out to VC money decades ago.

“Do you need to transcode video?
Then leave Intel the fuck alone.”
Been my rule for 20 years, and it’s worked good so far.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 2 weeks ago:
Basically my take. The lore and art take Hollow Knight over the top to Goat status, but it does not dethrone Blasphemous 2 for me… I’m not entirely sure anything can.
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
the collaborative world works off of demand. Pocket laptops and linux phones have been a nice distraction for long enough. They may soon become more of a saving grace.
I’m not saying you’ll be able to run Spyware Simulator 2000(mandated by your government) on PostmarketOS. I’m more saying that any secondary device you use for foss software will be more focused upon as an actual decent alternative for getting work done without being spied on by capitalist nazis.

Who knows, the same demand may be given of certain other federated social media sites in a few months.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 2 weeks ago:
Privacy and security just doesn’t mean as much to you as usability and connectivity. There’s nothing really wrong with that if you’re ok with accepting it.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 2 weeks ago:
You always have a choice. You can ditch your morals entirely, give up, be subservient to the capitalists and give your identity over fully to the system like the good little consumer slave you are and enjoy your normie life looking at your normie phone and toss us all out as tinfoil-hatted weirdos who almost convinced you to make your life worse for the sake of self-sufficiency, independence and privacy.
