- Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device' 1 year ago:
Just have to pay google 800$ to leave the google ecosystem. Seems legit.
- Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device' 1 year ago:
Googled Androids yes, not degoogled ones. There's a big difference.
- Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device' 1 year ago:
Android is opensource. It has closed source components, but they aren't necessary to run Android.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
Stop begging them, stop using them.
- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
Despite my distaste for the dude, more competition is good. Imagine if he really does make cheap, near instant, worldwide transfers possible and not just to 150 countries or something, but to all of them. There's an insane amount of remittance in the system. It's the entire raison d'être for some banks. If you can enter that ranking around the middle, you'll be making mad bank.
- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
A nonprofit group has sent a petition to Microsoft, urging it to extend the end-of-support date for Windows 10 beyond 2025 to prevent “the junking” of millions of PCs.
"junking". Install linux on it you mugs!

- Comment on Microsoft’s CEO say it’s ‘doubling down’ on being a game producer and publisher | VGC 1 year ago:
I bet you they'll start pulling their games from stores in 2-3 years or release new ones exclusively to their own. The games will be made as difficult to run in wine/proton as possible. Probably they'll introduce some new graphics layer that's windows only and since they own huge game publishers, they don't have to worry about any other platform ever.

Competition in the CPU space ♥♥♥
- Comment on EU-funded report calls for wealth of super-rich to be taxed, not income 1 year ago:
Vote for a party that wants a wealth tax?
- Comment on Language learning app Duolingo to mothball Welsh course 1 year ago:
Yeah, it needs more contributions
- Comment on Language learning app Duolingo to mothball Welsh course 1 year ago:
I wish people contributed to opensource alternatives like LibreLingo with more developers and course creators, it would be up to the community to maintain, not some private company that can dump a course whenever they like with no recourse for the users.
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
While I kinda sympathise, I won't be filing a complaint. I want Youtube to become so shit that even the average user will start looking for alternatives. I want ads plastered everywhere on that site and adblockers to fail miserably at blocking them. I want the average user to be so bothered by the ads that when they stumble upon an alternative they try and convince people to switch. I want content creators to be so bothered by it that they make videos promoting the use of another service.
Make this a competition for alternatives. Don't make it easy for users to stay on Youtube.
- Comment on Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them 1 year ago:
Car batteries you can swap by hand in a few minutes without going to the shop, reverse charging (a car battery can power your home for a while), face scanning tech to ensure you aren't distracted by your phone, capacitive door handles, resistive car doors that limit how far you can open them if there's an obstacle in order no to scratch the doors, intercar communication, and that's what I picked up from watching a video for a few minutes.
BYD added a few thousand patents since 2011 and that's just one of the car companies. They have played around with designs, materials, and much more. IINM they are also working on solid state batteries.
And of course modernising the supply chains and making it possible even produce a car cheaply, quickly, and better quality than a Tesla. If that isn't innovation for you, then I don't know what is.
- Comment on Here comes another Netflix price hike 1 year ago:
Oh, you're still paying for Netflix? Well... sucks to be you!
- Comment on Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them 1 year ago:
Lol, a car industry that hasn't innovated in years is suddenly threatened by innovation. Still, fuck cars. We should make them nigh obsolete with better public transport.
- Comment on Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them 1 year ago:
US government shoving millions up the asses of the their industries: capitalism
China shoving millions into their industries: communism
Yours faithfully, the brainwashed USAian
- Comment on Smart Potties: High-Tech Toilets Offer a Futuristic Flush. One Costs $20,000. 1 year ago:
Any toilet that still flushes is weak, archaic shit. Delft worked on a toilet that burns up shit using plasma.
- Comment on See?! 1 year ago:
Very compelling, now face the wall.
- Comment on Who else saw this? 1 year ago:
Not sure there was a red circle in the film
- Comment on LGBTQIA++ 1 year ago:
So much for equal representation.
Your sexuality isn't even worth putting in the main letters. You're just "other".
- Comment on LGBTQIA++ 1 year ago:
By the end of the century, it'll be the full alphabet. I just say "queer" instead of going through the entire list. "They're queer", "It's queer-friendly", "that's a show for queer folk", "they're a queer couple", "so I swiped left on this queer woman yesterday...", "that's a queer-ally", ...
- Comment on Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone 1 year ago:
Wow, people will complain about literally anything. "I hate Google's Recaptcha" --> hCaptcha. "I hate hCaptcha" --> turnstile. Inevitably it'll be "I hate turnstile".

My Lord, I had the distinct displeasure of being granted access to a few pre-mades. Not to be repeated
- Comment on UK welfare budget could be cut to pave way for tax cuts, says Jeremy Hunt 1 year ago:
How can the UK get rid of their first past the post system? The other side seems just as bad.
- Comment on 15 More Free to Play Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Games 1 year ago:
Appropriate reaction honestly
- Comment on 15 More Free to Play Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Games 1 year ago:
If you want to explore the most toxic community on the internet, install Dota 2.
