- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 6 days ago:
Why would you keep track? Can’t form your own opinions?!
And what the fuck hasn’t Oracle done? Like, seriously, they’ve been a known bad actor for literally decades now…
- Comment on Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy! 6 days ago:
I can’t think of any situation where disallowing people from repairing their own property makes any sense.
I can think of one, but the issue is largely a thing of the past: old CRT TV’s or monitors. If you attempt to repair one without knowing what you’re doing, you literally could get yourself killed.
That said, I still agree with you wholeheartedly. I’d much rather mandate dangerous to repair products be labeled as such, but the design and construction of consumer products should never prohibit the end user from being able to repair their own property.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
But the source code isn’t available. The source isn’t open. It’s not open-source, by definition.
The “spectrum” you refer to us about how free you are to publicly make use of the code, not whether or not you even have the code.
This situation does not fall inside that spectrum.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 3 weeks ago:
Complaining about athletes just makes it sound petty.
And your opening statement makes your entire post sound completely out of touch.
- Comment on Elon Musk, doing Elon Musk things. 5 weeks ago:
No. He’s a self absorbed con-man.
His “little” salute?! You’re fucking joking, right?? Nothing little about three full salutes at the President’s inauguration no less.
Finally, just some immature thing? You know what, why don’t you just grow a pair and admit where you’re allegiance truly lies. Cause if you tolerate Nazism, you’re part of the problem. Only you don’t seem to mind that at all. Do you?
- Comment on Gravity! 1 month ago:
This is one of my favorite summaries of just how ridiculous religion can become. Only thing I want to fund a way to add would a condemnation of monotheism. Seems that had a whole lot to do with how the concept of religion has become so corruptible. Instead of the point being the betterment of your own tribe it becomes about how every other tribe is less than you.
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 1 month ago:
How about if you can’t follow a conversation, maybe stay out of it? Like, for real, I didn’t know that else to tell you.

And I was talking about the so-called legality of the situation. So, pretty clearly not referring to the headline…

You seem to be under some misconception regarding why actually wires our laws. Hint: they’re called lobbyists to get people to ignore the rampant bribery.

Lol, sorry, I should’ve added an ‘/s’ on my getting!
No, I got it, just was being way too sarcastic for text.

Yeah, yeah, straight heterosexual intercourse is gay or something. I guess?
But the real question is - who fucking cares?
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yikes! You dug her up just to get a piece?
I mean, far be it from me to kink shame, so…to each their own, I guess.

I’ll fuck yours, if you fuck mine. That’s how that works, right?

Ok. Put an LLM into a Scooby Doo episode. Then get back to me…

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 1 month ago:
And he’s so convinced his own shit don’t stink, you can bet he’s huffing them farts, too. I mean, that seems an awfully terrible way to get high, but what do I know?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 month ago:
I think it’s been a year or so now since Microsoft updated Windows to be incompatible with dual boot from the same drive. When Windows boots up, it nukes grub if it’s on the same drive as your windows install. Every time.
If you want to dual boot, you basically need separate drives now. So stupid…
- Comment on What is the best approach to port an iOS app to Android? 1 month ago:
Umm, okay.
You’re advice was still terrible. And now you’re justifying it by making unkind and equally unfounded assumptions about the OP?
Whatever, dude.
- Comment on What is the best approach to port an iOS app to Android? 1 month ago:
This is an absolutely terrible idea first of all debugging code that you’re completely unfamiliar with is not easier than writing your own. The code you end up with is also likely to end up being very insecure with vulnerabilities exposing both you and your users.
When people actually crunch the numbers, vibe coding does not save time. So there is nothing to offset the massive drawbacks to this approach.
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 1 month ago:
I cannot fathom why I wouldn’t be pessimistic about a tool that’s being crammed into places it doesn’t fit. There are a small handful of things generative algorithms are genuinely useful for. But expecting it to magically solve anything else is foolish, and always will be.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 1 month ago:
Oh for sure! My theory is because of that, she’ll go overboard immediately on any little thing she doesn’t feel in control of, more or less.

As opposed to yourself, I guess?
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 2 months ago:
Your reply made me wonder: perhaps this is about more than the headphones? I’m not saying this justified her statement, but perhaps his mother feels like she isn’t being heard?

- Comment on Dead Cells 2 doesn't exist because its devs would rather make what they want than listen to external pressures 2 months ago:
No kidding, right? Besides, we’ve all encountered games (or movies/shows) that basically sucked cause the developers were roped into something they just weren’t passionate about.
