- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 1 week ago:
Fuck this fucktard. “I’m shocked—shocked!—that people would react negatively to my cheaping out on the entire app and turning it into a random half-assed AI-first spew of gibberish!”
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 4 weeks ago:
I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.

I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 4 months ago:
No, but cinco has 5, lol.
- 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 7 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.)
- Comment on Eat lead 7 months ago:
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 8 months ago:
The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…
