- Comment on Iran frees child bride sentenced to death over husband's killing: activists 1 day ago:
If he died in 2018, and she is now 25, since they had a kid when she was 18, it means someone forced a teenager to marry probably before 18 and have sex with an adult. What a disgusting culture!

Tell them to eat shit. You don’t like my domain? Block it and fuck off. Parent your shitty kids.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 1 day ago:
I saw a carousel for kids today and thought it looked creepy. Everything is so bad that now when I see something made for joy or innocent-looking, I automatically think it’s a front for something sinister. The current state of affairs is bad.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 1 week ago:
I tried to use a gift certificate to donate to dbzer0 last night. It didn’t work because of a zip code field. I just want to look at cat pictures and make a snarky comment every so often without a facist paramilitary kicking in my front door. Fuck me, right?
- Comment on OPSEC social media related question 1 week ago:
You could use a live linux boot disc and don’t save any info. Just need another disc to write the pics, or you could use it on top of another installation. Boot to live until you sell and get one of those extra numbers that forwards phone calls to your real number. All this could also be solved with shitty burner phone.
- Comment on FACTS 2 weeks ago:
I might be the dumbest person here, but even if this is made up and supposed to be satire, this is exactly what I would expect him to say, because he would think using women rather than having a relationship is preferred. I would honeslty be shocked if he didn’t think relationships with women were gay.

Quality control is not the words. They are unethical garbage pieces of shit who make the world a worse place. These big companies buy smaller ones just so they have the good devs and no competition. Then they make everything in the market insufferable as fuck.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
Open world sure did mean lots of wandering and dying until you figured out where to go. Still worth it but too much wasted time.

Agreed. New GOW was much better.

Extra week of vacation too. Don’t forget you need time off.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 5 weeks ago:
He bought the whole US president. Watch him kill SLS and Gateway the second Issacman gets confirmed as head NASA admin. I don’t know why private companies don’t fund their own shit rather than steal from taxpayerS through NASA.

What do you think billionaires will do with space exploration?
- Comment on Jellyfin, Traefik and Tailscale Config Question 1 month ago:
Fdroid says Tailscale sends logs when it is not authorized. Is that bad? I am looking into Tailscale and might consider Wireguard if it is more privacy-friendly.

Botox will produce unteresting results. I’m definitely getting some if I ever go back to the office. Hopefully, people will not see me scowl afterwards.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 1 month ago:
I ling for the days it was two horizontal sliders. Cold to left, slide to the right the warmer you wanted. Low to the left, slight to the right for high fan. Now it’s all this digital horse shit and it takes years of me being bored at red lights to be motivated to explore all the menu drudgery on the console. Now it all has fucking wifi and tracker nonsense too.

- Comment on NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030 − and welcome in the age of commercial space stations 1 month ago:
Those delays are normal. I hate Elon, too, but I’ve worked with them, and their shit is fresh. SLS is also not a disaster. That first mission was almost perfect, and the SLS community is strong. The difference is that NASA can not tolerate failure, and SpaceX can. NASA must be right the first time. SpaceX just breaks shit quickly.
I have a picture of SpaceX Falcon on the launch pad. The picture is from 2008. Claims that they are faster are not accurate. We have built two launch vehicles and successfully completed testing since then. Starship just now had a decent test or two, IIRC. We didn’t start SLS until like 2012, and SpaceX had Dalcon in pad in 2008. Had they not canceled Ares I right after a successful flight, NASA would be farther along. Both Falcon and SLS are good options. Vulcan is promising, but Boeing is too screwed up now for my comfort, so we’ll see.
- Comment on NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030 − and welcome in the age of commercial space stations 1 month ago:
This is why I don’t know why people are excited about SpaceX launches. Did you know Jeff Bezos owns Blue Origin, and he bought The Expanse so they wouldn’t cancel it, and so he could continue watching it because he loved it so much. What do you think is going through his mind there? It’s scary. These people are so evil.
- Comment on NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030 − and welcome in the age of commercial space stations 1 month ago:
Commercial solutions end up costing more for high stakes and high cost space programs. They basically just made NASA a corporate subsidy for giant corps and parasitic billionaires. This push for commercial partners to do everything has already bitten them in the ass, but since all their greedy corpo buddies get lots of money, they’ll just continue to run the agency in the ground until it does nothing. We’re almost there, too, with Trump cuts out in full force.
Just remember, NASA was amazing until politicians started fucking it up. Politicians caused Challenger to explode, too.

It will also kill any incentive to buy an android phone. Seriously fuck those people.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 months ago:
I love how we’re all fucked because boomers will never die. Honestly, Gen X has a lot more folks that let us down. It doesn’t matter the generation really. I know a pregnant gen Z, and all I can think about is how her kid, according to the popular generational theory, is going to be the next cycle of boomer. That’s probably why many young gen Zs are a bunch of little assholes. But then she was a screw up, and my gen, the millineals as everyone knows works harder and is still called lazy and had our own screw ups. Generations are what they are but having no chance at happiness due to the rich controlling every goddamn asset is a new kind of fucked we all have to endure.

They certainly don’t let us go a single day any longer without horrific news.

I think I will read this article. I am interested in what society can do to help these young men.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 months ago:
Let’s see how many of Gen Z Americans get off TikTok after it becomes more of a propaganda machine. I wonder how European kids feel about it. They went through Covid and missed part of an already terrible education. So now they have no idea that they are just being programmed to be a bunch of assholes. I think it will work. If we don’t find a plan to do something, we are in bad shape. We need Project 2029.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 months ago:
I wonder if gen Z has media literacy. I am expecting approximately 0% to discontinue TicTok as result of the acquisition.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 months ago:
Gen Z is so dumb that they’re all going to be Nazis is 6 months.
