• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas Republican Primary having a normal one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, there’s a lot going on with this one, but I’d also like to point out a particular anti-pattern in the “stop to unsubscribe” text. Note that it doesn’t say that you should reply with the word ‘stop’, it’s just a statement, as if any of the boomers (to which this is targeted) would know to do that. Not that it would work if they did, but it’s just particularly insidious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is an AI chatbot and 5 mins games app now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand I wonder how many of those are bought accounts interacting with each other. On the other hand it’s probably still a sad social commentary that the majority of people are stupid fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually use a cake knife. No hard edge and it helps lift prints easily. Plus they come in all sizes for larger prints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fawlty towers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Flowery Twats!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are love potions always romantic in nature? Why hasn't anyone made a non-romantic variant?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they meant a platonic love portion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if there’s some big reveal or anything that makes it make sense.

  Ummm… I can’t give any spoilers here but…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greta Thunberg Steps Down from Gaza Flotilla Steering Group⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cause endless bureaucracy, complications and difficulties for everything … get people to meet on everything no matter how small, debate everything on every detail, reassess constantly and just make everything as complicated as possible.

  I see you have been to most of my meetings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet nobody listens like they have something to learn. A dangerous combination.

  I have no less than 7 VPNs installed on my work laptop, and I work for one single company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of comments in here saying to just use Firefox, and they’re entirely correct, but the one use case for articles like this I could think of is where you are forced to use Chrome at work but can still install extensions.
