- Comment on Japan asked countries to skip China's WWII commemorative events in Sept. 4 days ago:
It’s sad how Japan still doesn’t want to acknowledge it’s war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
They’re not unblockable.
Every now and then Twitch wastes money on circumventing adblockers, but a few weeks later ublock filters will be updated to block that again. I’m currently watching without any ads or third party add-ons besides regular uBlock.
- Comment on The notion that "old is bad and new is good" is a seriously damaging part of western capitalism brainwashing 1 week ago:
The seriously damaging part of capitalism is capitalism.
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
It is a paid VPN luckily though. The issue is with “free” VPN browser add-ons.
There’s also different adblocker rules and extensions for twitch ads.
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
For some games and websites I have to turn it off yeah. Or at least switch the server to one that isn’t blocked.
It’s a shame that websites are allowed to track and block VPNs.
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
Never use VPN add-ons for your browser. Unless you get them along with your paid VPN. You should run your entire network through the VPN, not just a browser.
- Comment on Choose one before starting the game... 2 weeks ago:
Not accurate enough. France falls into the corruption category.
- Comment on ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she walked out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. 3 weeks ago:
God I hope more people will end up shooting or beating up ICE agents. What happened to your guys second amendment?

Hey at least Stasi only spied on people they suspected.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 4 weeks ago:
It’s crazy that this is legal.
- Comment on NO! I don't want to download your app and set up an account. Leave me alone 4 weeks ago:
It’s a software issue rather than OS. Too many programs and websites can’t handle webp.
- Comment on Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears 4 weeks ago:
It’s not about the law, but what’s right to me.
Proton according to this post is virtue signalling. Claiming one thing, then doing the other.
- Comment on Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears 4 weeks ago:
No so does France. Proton helped convict a French environmental activist by providing the courts full access to their private proton account.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 5 weeks ago:
The only good thing about Andromeda was the new setting / story.
The gameplay and class settings were lame.
That’s actually what annoys me most. They set up a new story, but then abandoned it before finishing it with sequels and leave everything unresolved.

I’m sorry to tell you but smoking is completely socially accepted.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 month ago:
Yeah I know of those app stores. Sadly they don’t automatically include anything also found on GitHub. So not everything is on there.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 month ago:
In theory it’s always easy, but in reality there will always be some major issue. I’ve tried switching to Ubuntu twice many years ago and there was always something that didn’t work. One time it even bricked my Windows install.
Currently before actually installing it, I’ve installed Pop OS in a virtual machine. I wish I had the screenshot, but entering 4 different commands to try and install VLC player and getting an error that the command is unknown each time is degrading. A lot of the first results for installing software on Linux has commands or repositories that don’t work and you have to keep looking. It was the command on the official VLC website that didn’t work for me…
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 month ago:
I will mainly switch to Linux whenever I feel ready for the headache of setting it up for the first time. Already got another M.2 SSD to run it alongside my existing Win 10 for anything that doesn’t run on Linux.
- Comment on 25% of young Americans aged 18 to 24 eat every meal alone—'a virtual doubling of what it was two decades ago,' expert says 1 month ago:
Makes sense. I guess I’m in the minority or well majority now.
But I think expecting every other meal to be shared with someone else is still too much.
For 18-24 year olds still living with their parents sure. But relationships and partners nowadays are becoming rarer. No idea how frequent going to eat with friends is, but I’d expect it to not be the majority of the time.

I’m not sure how that’s dystopian.
Are you supposed to invite people to your home every time you eat a meal?
