- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 4 days ago:
Think about it. Why does Meta spend the money on that HQ in Ireland? Surely we all know it’s not them trying to make a country better by investing in it because they are such kind souls, right? So, yeah Ireland benefits from it, and that’s a good thing, but they also have that leverage to say ‘thanks for the money, and you can keep profiting here, as long as you’re not breaking any of our laws’. I don’t know, it’s way more complicated than that, but politicians need tk grow some balls.

That’s the type of mentality that keeps individuals from even attempting to build a large gathering of like-minded people to actually push for a change. Yeah, I’m not doing any kind of damage by myself, but that should not keep me from trying, and asking others to also try. Fuck that defeatist mindset.

The way things are going, pretty sure it’s as you say, not yet. The current technology environment is frustrating, to say the least.

- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 2 weeks ago:
I am whiny as fuck, which is why I fucking dropped everything by Mozilla from my life. Those are 2 seconds I can add to my porn addiction streamline.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 2 weeks ago:
Why put the user through the issue of turning it off instead of having it off by default and letting those who want to use it turn it on? That’s some bullshit on Mozilla’s end. Fuck them.

This is the link to their website. I apologize for not adding it in my previous comment.

I’m in the same boat, need 2 new TVs in May of 2026. Seriously considering Sceptre TVs for that.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 2 weeks ago:
Same here. I have my PS5 and Chromecast w/GTV via CEC, and haven’t seen the TVs UI in a long time. No issues whatsoever.

Buy an apple TV and unplug that shit from the TV.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 3 weeks ago:
And tk think that you’ve barely scratched the surface of the actual shitshow that fucker is. I’m not British, but have plenty of very good British friends, and in my over half a century of age, I never though 1 fucker could destroy British culture and way of life the way this asshole has singlehandedly done, and somehow figuring out how to make it worse every day. I feel for the British people.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, but Australia and the UK are way ahead of the rest.

Stamer is running a social experiment, see how many people worldwide can hate him in the least amount of time possible. Everything he and his goons do is double down constantly on shit nobody wants.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 3 weeks ago:
What’s your point? Are you saying that I should use Firefox and be paranoid about some new bullshit ‘feature’ on every update and keep wasting time trying to find something that might, or might not, have been included in a new version and waste even more time figuring out how to disable it if found, assuming they haven’t locked it to make it unable to be disabled?
I think you would do good to review your streamlines bro. That would be stupid, to use a light word, when we have options that allow us to just entirely avoid Mozilla’s bullshit.

Thank you. These are great articles.

Fennec and IronFox.

And a shitload of time to keep the fork relevant as web sites keep evolving.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 3 weeks ago:
Well, older news is: “Firefox has evolved into the first thing I uninstall when I install Fedora, or any other Linux distro for that matter”. Since the first mention of their so-called “anonymous telemetry” I began to actively avoid them. Like someone else mention, thank God for Librewolf, Mullvad and Brave (with Leo disabled).

And even if you are an employee, only in work related stuff and during business hours, the rest, get out of my life.

Throw it on Stamer’s head, at least you give it one last food use.

All their TVs are dumb. We’re moving to a new house next year, and I decided all our TVs will be Sceptre.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
We do have the option of not buying their crap. We have the option of never connecting them to the internet if we ended up buying it. We have the option of blocking all their services and domains in our networks. We have options. Granted we have a limited range of options, but we do have options.

- Comment on Good NAS solution for dummies / apple users? 3 weeks ago:
I had the lower end one when I switched from Synology, 2-Bay. Everything was the same, a few UI differences, same functionality. Don’t know what it looks like today since I moved to ProxMox, and just backup everything to it and then 3-2-1 it, but it can’t have gotten harder to use, can it?

Disney investing in me not wanting anything to do with them, when they achieved that the minute they bought Star Wars. What a waste of good money.

Because AI pays close attention to every single clause, so it’s guaranteed Sora will follow directions without fucking up. 😒
