- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 1 day ago:
The solution is -besides regulations for that - have governments push for much MUCH more bicycle roads and same for public transportation. With great public transportation and bicycle roads, most people won’t need cars to begin with.
- Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) 2 days ago:
Should you though?
I get it, it’s annoying, but the entire “let’s block people with opinions I don’t like” is probably the single source of pillerization and increased extremism on the internet.
If I’m not allowed to have a discussion or disagreement with you, and get kicked out instead, I’ll just go to places where they will talk with me and where it’s chock full of other idiots like me who are much more extreme and in our safety bubble we can all continue not beat the same dead horse and circle jerk and make eachother more extreme because there are no dissenting voices, there are no voices or reason and calm, there are no cooler heads around.
This entire moderation where we simply started dumping people with who we disagree has made the world a.much, much worse place.
Granted, it sucks to have to deal with crazies and extremists, but at least whilst they’re in the group we can all keep them grounded in reality.

- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 2 days ago:
Cars will be needed, period
Having said that, 90something percent of car rides are under 5 kms and can be done by bike IF good biking infrastructure is available
We MUST redesign cities to become humans first, walking and biking must be easy, smaller cars can enter to destination, smaller trucks can enter to supply stores, and that’s it. If you design cites for people and bikes, people will use it
Right now in 99% of the cities in the world, using bikes is suicidal, walking anywhere beyond a parking lot is suicidal. We gotta change that part.
People will stop using even EV cars if they can bike everywhere
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 4 days ago:
Yeah after that first whistleblower saying he would not commit suicide, then somehow did it anyway, it is not a good look if a second whistleblower dies, no matter what the real reason was.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 4 days ago:
Wow, ten more suicidal people that really want to off themselves and also suddenly all started talking about Boeing, all at the same time. They’ll also all off themselves in the coming weeks.
What are the chances of that happening?

- Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants 1 week ago:
Nah, Musk is an incompetent idiot who got incredibly lucky and managed to fail upwards. He’s not eccentric, he’s just an asshole
- Comment on Catholic 'media ministry' defrocks AWOL AI priest after it told faithful you can baptise babies in Gatorade and that, sure, it can totally perform your wedding 1 week ago:
You’re forgetting child raping pedos in that list, right below the gross sexual habbits. I’d say that one deserves its own category
- Comment on Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads 1 week ago:
I too have a bridge to sell you. You know it’s great because I’ve successfully sold the same one a thousand times for the past decade already!

- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
Open source? Standards?
What?
Do that and Lose the chance of earning billions in royalties if WE manage to corner the market?
None of that will happen unless, say, the European Union will force manufacturers hands.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 1 week ago:
Was he? As I understand it’s he was not a bit mentally ill
- Comment on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok 1 week ago:
The TikTok van isn’t bad, it’s great for humanity, it’s great for kids.
Can we now do the same with Instagram and Facebook and the likes? Basically all of social media?
Can we also please start banning kids from the Internet now? Since 20 years ago I’ve been saying that kids under 14-16 should not be on the Internet, or if they do, with monitoring and very limited time and access. The Internet is NOT a healthy place for kids. Hell, today they Internet isn’t a healthy place for adults, but that is a different story.
I hate desantis, but that Florida kids and social media ban is great

- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
Oh noes, another ad I don’t see because or aaarrr.
I know, YouTube is different content, but it’s just to make the point: if I gotta watch ads even while paying, then fuck you and your content, I’ll get it somewhere else

- Comment on Boeing retaliated against its own engineers working for FAA, union says 2 weeks ago:
I actually agree with prison sentences for execs that push for criminal activities, especially if people die.
That said, new execs should then be brought in, who can keep previous execs in mind when making their decisions. Don’t ship going assets off to Airbus. I like Airbus better than Boeing, but we need more competition, not less.
- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s windows?

- Comment on China: Uyghur served 7 years in jail for advising others not to drink or smoke. It is first time that one of the jailed residents from Xaneriq village are released alive. 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, most religious terrorists totally didn’t become religious and a terrorist after being oppressed or abused by the governments they attack. Yes, playing Devil’s advocate here, but nobody just one day wakes up and decides to murder a bunch of kids for no reason.
The Chinese government is creating terrorists, not eradicating them.

Yeah, this WILL be abused, inspite all good intentions that they might talk about
- Comment on Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off. 2 weeks ago:
Install Linux and be done with the microshit nonsense.
“Oh but this particular thing requires 20 minutes of my time to figure it out” then take 20 minutes. On windows you took a lot more, you can spare this
But “insert specific hardware or software here” doesn’t work in Linux! Then find alternate ways. I’ve used a Linux desktop for well over 29 years now, I had problems , like everyone else, but I never faced any of this and all the other bullshit from Microsoft. Bluetooth didn’t work? I got a different adapter that does have Linux drivers.
Linux is growing bigger and bigger, more companies will support it, just use it. Worst case you change problem a for problem b but at least you’re no longer paying to be spied on.
F everything about Microsoft
