- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 4 days ago:
I mean, global economy really. Crypto has the potential and already fucked a few banks when it shit itself which could’ve led to awful bank runs.
If/when it destabilizes the American banking system the entire global economy will follow its lead down, at least a bit.
Like I don’t think people understand how devastating letting a scam like this into proper finance can be. Finance itself already has way more latitude than it should- wait until this just splits everything wide open.

It’s a good app. Sadly the price of entry puts people off.
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 1 week ago:
I too don’t understand why you would be responsible for THEM breaking the screen.
Imagine your mechanic breaks a part while changing your oil then says you’re responsible for the cost of it.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 1 week ago:
I gotta be honest- sounds weird you weren’t already tracking output already.
Like was output before wfh just “theyre in the office today”?
- Comment on Nextcloud and Thinkfree Office sign partnership agreement to add more choices for users - Nextcloud 2 weeks ago:
I use it and like it but at this point I just assume theyre working on a full rewrite in a language other than PHP. Go, Rust, whatever. Wouldn’t be easy as they need to rewrite a number of applications for it too but quite frankly seems like the next logical step.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (18 July 2025) 2 weeks ago:
I think what’s most telling is- if you use it then what do you care about putting “made with ai” on a flair? Are you ashamed?
- Comment on Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist 2 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t think ai can hold out that long. It’s 2025 and the mood is already souring.
- Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses' 2 weeks ago:
And produced with a shit ton of copyright violations, etc. Just about everything is immoral about it.

Was useless when they dropped meego IMO.

What’s awful is- I can find this news in other places using RSS. Not nearly as quick but… Who cares? Like wtf difference does it make?
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 5 weeks ago:
Like I’ve said before- their market is small enough they should be trying to get everyone they can to buy it.

- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 1 month ago:
Imagine being this vitriolic in response to someone’s personal anecdote.
The person you responded to said they did find a sense of community like the study describes. Nowhere in there did they argue that anyone should be forced to go back to an office nor even that an office spot be made available to people.

- Comment on AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers 1 month ago:
I really want to give furios phone a shot. It’s apparently close to supporting my carrier.
That and a sailfish phone. The community one though didn’t support my carrier (think it’s mainly EU specced only.)

Didn’t take long to tie actions under a Republican admin to Democrats. Par for the course.
- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11 RC1 Released 1 month ago:
I’ll be honest, Im not sure why theyre not releasing this as 11.x.
This seems to be a major update. From what I can tell there are API changes, plugins might not work, your entire db is converted to another format, etc.
I’m excited for it and thankful for all the work- just seems so big that it should be tagged 11.0.0

All a big grift. Same with that dumbass wall.

“Thinks” is being quite generous here I feel.
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 2 months ago:
There’s a ton more too. It’s quite surprising how many projects that have. Isn’t Cassandra theirs too?

All I want is unified push really. Then you just choose your server or host your own.

Self fulfilling prophecy.
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 3 months ago:
When I think of the cost of that freedom it doesn’t seem too steep.
People want all the benefits but none of the responsibility, IMO.
I definitely see your viewpoint though.

Not that I recall.
I like it. Nice to be able to see all your workouts across whatever time period.

Nat is not a firewall…
Seriously. Unless you open up your Lan to the internet it functions the same way as ipv4 in respect to receiving unsolicited queries from the internet. All those are dropped.
