- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 2 weeks ago:
It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them more than just not signalling or not signalling long enough.

And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.

Oh no. Anyway…
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 weeks ago:
The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…
- not commercially owned
- has a proven federation capability
- Running a pretty large number of instances right now
- Comment on Mastodon Exit Interview 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this seems like a weird use case for Mastodon to me too. Also, the entire point of Mastodon is that no one entity can control it all. Switching to BlueSky is basically just falling straight back into the trap where someone can buy it out and repurpose it as a disinformation machine again. I’m not saying ActivityPub is perfect, mind you. Just that it sucks less (for me) than the alternative.

- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 5 months ago:
Just log onto mastodon.social and be done with it. That’s the one that will still be running until the they turn out the lights on the service, I figure. And then go kick in a buck or two a month on Patreon to help defray development and server costs. (Not being the product is worth a donation by itself, I figure.)

Dude is gonna come back at him with the first mention of lead in the bible and say, no this is where God created lead, lol.
- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 6 months ago:
The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…
