- Comment on Public restrooms in Osaka to get in-stall video screens with ads 1 week ago:
Yes, put screens in a restroom where I can put a knife through them while shitting and nobody is gonna know.
- Comment on self-hosted KeePass database in the cloud, what are some good options? 1 week ago:
Sure they can, but as long as you picked a secure password it ought to take them long enough to make it impossible, in practical terms. Nobody is gonna spend years trying to break the encrypted database of some random Internet user, especially when it might be five or five hundred years till you pop it, and you don’t know which until it’s done.

- Comment on Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contracts 2 weeks ago:
Imagine going back in time to when Google first launched and telling them their search engine would be murdering babies in the middle east on behalf of a right-wing ethno-nationalist theocracy that’s waging religious war because they believe they’re owed the whole region since God told them so.

- Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have to do shit, because I Graphene for the same reason I use Linux. I’m not interested in asking a corporation for permission to do what I want.
- Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 2 weeks ago:
A reasonable compromise would be not telling people what they can and can’t do on devices they paid for. If Google wants that level of control, they can buy my phone for me.
- Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic 2 weeks ago:
Who uses Google in this day and age? They haven’t had good results for a decade or so.

Well alrighty then.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 2 weeks ago:
You didn’t even need to do that. You can pull the battery packs off pretty easily. These are very easy to disable, and due to the fact they aren’t nimble, they can’t get away from you.
- Comment on I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in? 2 weeks ago:
Everybody is shitty and the whole universe sucks and sometimes not even dying can save you.
- Comment on A communist and an anarchist walk into a bar.. 2 weeks ago:
MLs really do be like that, not able to carry through a revolution without depending on anarchists. talks tough in the sheets, but is weak in the streets.

even if I have, I wouldn’t bother helping you out.

The same people celebrating this are the same people that whine about how nobody wants to make OSS anymore. Image

I’m looking forward to seeing this utilized in games.
- Comment on RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More) 2 weeks ago:
Fluxer is of particular interest to the folks here at AN. We’ve talked a bit about exploring it once they finish work on federation.
- Comment on Password manager woes. How have you solved syncing on Android? 2 weeks ago:
I use Vaultwarden. Each synced device is a backup, so there’s no real need to keep anything further than that, but I do keep one backup of the server files anyway.
- Comment on Password manager woes. How have you solved syncing on Android? 2 weeks ago:
Well with Vaultwarden any synced device is a complete backup. So you don’t need to worry about version issues.
- Comment on How to check if Proton VPN has switched locations? 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t want to bother with this, something a lot of people do is run qBittorrent with Proton in Docker. There are containers that will pipe any changes directly into qBittorrent. The one I use on my media server is from binhex. All self contained and easy to update since it’s Docker.

Some people just look better with a 🔻 above their head.
- Comment on A Near-Full Rotation of Uranus 3 weeks ago:
turns out I’m still not old enough to not giggle at a title like that
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 3 weeks ago:
Licenses only matter if you care about copyright. I’d much rather just appropriate whatever I want, whenever I want, for whatever I want. Copyright is capitalist nonsense and I just don’t respect notions of who “owns” what.
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 3 weeks ago:
oh no, that’s so horrible… 🤣
- Comment on Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats 3 weeks ago:
It’s always better to be worried for nothing than not worried for something you didn’t pay enough attention to. Even if something fascist has no chance of passing, you should still resist it as loudly and as aggressively as possible, every single time.
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I don’t really think so, GabeN. Loot boxes should go the way of the dinosaurs.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 3 weeks ago:
I have a “smart” TV, but it has never been connected to the internet for reasons such as this. Also I don’t want it spying on me, which is a thing society has to deal with now for some reason, and we just let it happen.
We should be burning the corporate headquarters for these places down when they try shit like this.
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 3 weeks ago:
there’s some guides online on how to do it, you’ll need to edit some configs and also have a Redis docker up.
