🤣 and I see we have another person who doesn’t understand why government overreach is a problem because they’re too busy saying “govern me harder daddy”.

Do you really think that the average person who pays in app by a non-Apple payment method is going to understand that Apple isn’t the company to contact given they have been for all this time?
- Comment on GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android 1 hour ago:
No, not everyone is good when they’re doing good things and bad when they’re doing bad things. The EU have been doing things that many, especially on here and reddit, consider “good” only because of their biases. They’re not objectively good things, but subjective. Things like forcing Apple to allow other payment methods was championed, but imagine if your business is forced to let your customers pay someone else to use your system, and then you’re the one that had to handle all their complaints because they got scammed.
The EU has been overstepping their bounds for years now. The difference now is that they’re doing things that everyone knows is authoritarian. They’ve been authoritarian all along, but the lefties were ok with it because it was authoritarianism that they agreed with.
- Comment on Labor asks Deloitte to design universal childcare system as PM eyes political legacy 3 hours ago:
The childcare system that we need is for the insane cost of living to get cut by 50%, at least, so a family can once again not only survive but actually live (pay rent/mortgage, eat, buy clothes and stuff for kids, own 2 cars, etc) on a single wage so that one parent can stay home with the kids.
- Comment on Australia to recognise Palestinians' right 'to a state of their own', PM says 3 hours ago:
with a condition that terror group Hamas plays no role in its governance.
So Australia won’t recognize the state of Palestine then, because Hamas aren’t giving up power or the war would already be over.

I’ve been saying for YEARS that the EU has been overstepping their bounds by forcing companies to do things that they should have no right to force them to do, and that the EU is becoming a threat. I was downvoted every time and called a “bootlicker” because people loved the EU dictating terms to the “big bad american corporations”.
Well now the EU have gone full nanny surveilance state, and people like those who argued against me have no one to blame but themselves. Congratulations.

I don’t think they did. Unless you have evidence otherwise, I think this is a rumour which comes from a misunderstanding of how deletion tools worked.
They did it to my comments. I had a like 15 year old account, hundreds of thousands of karma, and I deleted all of my comments that I could view in my profiles history and then deleted my account. Days later I found not only was my account undeleted, all of my comments that I deleted were back as if nothing ever happened - and my account was banned.

“It’s another move to protect against AI scraping.”
Not because they’re against AI getting their data, oh no - because they SELL their data to google to use for their AI.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 6 days ago:
Only if you’re bad with money. Nothing wrong with credit cards themselves, and most of them these days are credit/debit cards.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 6 days ago:
How do you suggest people pay for Spotify?
- Comment on Does it damage my phone in any way it I use a faulty cable to charge it? 6 days ago:
A cable making your phone say “slow charging” doesn’t mean the cable is “broken”.

What claims?
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
Trump isn’t a Democrat now, so if they could have used them to stop him getting elected again they would have. They didn’t.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
I would reply but this other guys said it all.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
Your own source, snopes, says it’s not factual lol
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
You do realise that the guy who crashed admitted in court that he was rummaging around for his dropped phone and wasn’t even looking at the road when the crash happened, right?
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
So the issue is the name?
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 1 week ago:
Do you really think the democrats would have just sat on the files in the lead up to the 2024 election if trump was actually implicated in them?
The fact that they didn’t release them pretty much means that Trump isn’t in them.

What claims did he make about autopilot that suggested otherwise?
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 1 week ago:
Have you even read what happened? The driver dropped his phone and wasn’t watching the road but instead was rummaging around on the ground looking for his phone, while having his foot on the accelerator manually accelerating. Autopilot was supposedly turned off because of the manual acceleration.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 1 week ago:
There’s no way this decision stands, it’s absolutely absurd. The guy dropped his phone and was looking down reaching around looking for it when he crashed. He wasn’t supervising autopilot, like you are required to.

Statistically and realistically this relationship isn’t going to last btw.
Many of my friends, especially women friends, didn’t want kids. We’re certain they would never want kids. They pretty much all now have kids, multiple kids.
You guys are kids. Don’t forget that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Absolutely 100% too young. When you’re 27 you’ll look back at when you were 22 and think you were so dumb compared to now. When you’re 32 you’ll think you were dumb at 27, and that at 22 you were an absolute imbecile.
At 22 you’re basically still a teenager mentally. Making major permanently life altering decisions at 22 is a terrible idea. There’s no need to get a vasectomy until you’ve got kids and don’t want any more imo. There are plenty of non-permanent contraception options for until then.
Not to mention getting a vasectomy will massively decrease your potential wife pool.

It was the same for Biden, why did no-one care then?
- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 4 weeks ago:
What surprises me is that Samsung isn’t trying to get better hardware to get more market share.
You say this about the company that invented folding screen phones? lol
- Comment on Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent 4 weeks ago:
I get what you’re saying, but also see the other side - these services exist and aren’t ever going away, so the level of knowledge you need about these to use them at least competently is significantly reduced.
What their existence does mean is that there are thousands of developers who wouldn’t ever touch or learn any of this stuff previously are now actually learning it and using it. That’s a positive thing. Not everyone needs to be an expert on the inner workings of everything that a service provides unless you’re specifically looking for an expert.
Also……people lie on CVs and cover letters. If your ad has buzzwords and technology X, Y, and Z, then you should expect people with little to no knowledge of at least one of those things to have all 3 on their resume.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X platform investigated in France for alleged data tampering and fraud 4 weeks ago:
Tl;dr:
It said the two people alleged the suspected use of X’s algorithm for the “purposes of foreign interference.” It didn’t detail the alleged interference or how the algorithm was allegedly used.
The 2 people are politicians. Most likely a nothing-sauce.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 4 weeks ago:
Adding context is “knowing more” for a computer program.
Maybe it’s different in VS code vs regular VS, because I never get issues like what you’re describing in VS. Haven’t really used it in VS Code.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 4 weeks ago:
Interesting downvotes, especially how there are more than there are upvotes.
Do people think “junior” and “senior” here just relate to age and/or time in the workplace? Someone could work in software dev for 20 years and still be a junior dev.
