Dorsey: lmao, for you.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 19 hours ago:
The closer you are to the blast, the better. This ensures a quick and painless death. If your’e really frightened of nuclear weapons, rest easy in a flat in a major city. You won’t have to suffer any of the scary mutations or side effects of rural folk.

- Comment on AI Deepfakes Are Impersonating Pastors to Try to Scam Their Congregations 23 hours ago:
My mom’s favorite pastor is dead, but I’ll still tell her about this.
She believes in a magic sky god who set his own rules up for us to fail by way of damnation. A pastor coming back to life wouldn’t be a jump in her reality.

Start by making some content for the systems you already fucking have. My ps5 gets closer to facebook marketplace every day.

…yay?
As candy goes, that’s about as base-level acceptable as it gets. Was it the last thing at the bottom of a candy bowl and you settled for it?
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 6 days ago:
I’m not teaching a class, here, bud. If you need me to tell you that running LineageOS is somehow a skill equivalent to walking into a store, then we have some serious cultural differences between the US and EU regarding average luddite phone ownership.
The stores don’t charge for helping you, no. It’s the same cost for service instore as out, at least in my experience. For all I know Tmobile started charging ‘install fees’ for putting sim cards in.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 week ago:
If I asked my mom for her SIM card, she’d ask for her purse so she could attempt to find a credit card that doesn’t exist.
She has no idea how a phone works in any capacity. I’m not being insulting about it, I am informing you of blatant and honest truth.
My cousins, people my age are a hard maybe, I know two family members who went in-store recently. They treat their phones like cars. They use them and that’s as deep as it goes.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 week ago:
If that stops Lineage from being practical on that phone, then fuck that phone in particular.
If eventually, that is every phone, then grab a hotspot and get tethering.

- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 1 week ago:
Have the day you paid for.
- Comment on Daily Affirmation 1 week ago:
Is there any chance, loooong shot I know, that OP was using his meme to criticize the very mentality that you did?
- Comment on Daily Affirmation 1 week ago:
Of course you wouldn’t, gender is a only a social construct. I hate all sorts of people and I’d hate them all the same as a girl.
- Comment on Israel ranks lowest in global brand index 1 week ago:
You’re right. Enabled is a better word.
- Comment on AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory 1 week ago:
Built an AM4 NAS right around summer. My desktop is old but I also don’t really game that much off of my Steam Deck anymore. And so ends the era of oldschool home computing, I guess.
- Comment on Apple hit with $115M fine for “extremely burdensome” App Store privacy policy 1 week ago:
The Italians are just as complicit in the game for how weak the fine is.

…yeah, I’ve never had any issues, personally. I run a Gotosocial instance, XMPP and a Synapse fork publicly.
Update, lock your shit down and use a firewall is all I can tell anyone. My SSH isn’t even open to the web, I have to go in via wireguard to access any administration.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like billion dollar corporations, and I’d be fine to stop and leave that be all the context, but I also don’t like them using technology to manufacture truth while polluting the earth to do it.
So tell your coders to give you a tune up, the damage control algorithm didn’t pan out.

No more than the ones pushing their pro-ai agenda.

I’m doing a Metroid Prime trilogy run through using Primehack. The retro is real.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 2 weeks ago:
The number one rule of selfhosting unbound. Make two.
You won’t be happy one morning if you don’t. I run unbound with adblocking on OpenWRT, but if my router dies, my whole network does anyway, so… Eh.
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 3 weeks ago:
VPN bans amount to only allowing private companies to operate vpns for the purpose of infrastructure and commerce. It wouldn’t ban vpns entirely, but no average person would have the means within his country to be able to purchase or use one… legally.
While it would be sorta bad, it’s like taking the top layer off of the cake while leaving the rest.
There’s ways out, still, and there always will be. They can’t ban buying a vps from next door, and putting wireguard on it.

Yeah and pointing something out doesn’t mean you’re about to be served what your asking for due to your victim complex not being everyone else’s problem.
