- Comment on Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guards troops in 19 states in crime crackdown 1 week ago:
Seriously question though, what is his end goal here?
I’m assuming this is out of the Project 2025 playbook somewhere.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 1 week ago:
Of course not. Implies they do their jobs properly.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 2 weeks ago:
Wrote a email to my MP for this exact reason.
The OSA needs repealing. All it’s doing is either teaching people to follow poor digital hygiene practices, or forcing people to follow more risky methods of bypassing the OSA controls.
Whole guise of child safety is laughable when they’ve made zero attempts to educate everyone (not just kids) on being safe online.
- Comment on Google tests ‘script blocking’ in Chrome Incognito to boost privacy 3 weeks ago:
WTF you on about? Firefox has the NoScript extension, which Mozilla recommends?
- Comment on 'This Verdict Is a Wake-Up Call:' Jury Trial Finds Meta Breached State Privacy Law in Class Action Against Fertility App | Law.com 3 weeks ago:
I have questions…
What was Meta’s defense for a social media site to need sensitive sexual and reproductive health data?
And if Flo was UK based, surely that data should have been covered by GDPR. How was Meta a partner with legitimate interest to PII data?

Water damage, repair claim denied.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 months ago:
Can confirm, only video games in the UK too. Certainly not the 6th largest economy in the world worth £3.84 trillion. Nor a labour force with 74.9% in employment, that would be silly!
- Comment on Things are getting really crazy. 3 months ago:
I do wonder if there’s a possible tipping point caused by event so egregious, so unjust, that The Onion would feel compelled to report on it factually & earnestly…
- Comment on AI-powered bookmark wants to revolutionize the way you read — $129 Mark 1 offers AI-generated summaries 5 months ago:
If I’m reading a book, to warrant the need for a bookmark to begin with… Why the fuck would I want an AI summary of what I’m already reading?

- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 7 months ago:
With more driver assistance features taking vehicle autonomy, I’m honestly surprised they haven’t tried to pushed for this yet.

Explains why insects are always trying enter - must feel like a mansion!
- Comment on Post Office explores taking branch owner-operators to court again 10 months ago:
The inquiry has already shown their method of data collection was flawed, the core systems had critical bugs compromising data integrity, and the processes for data validation were non-existant. Every time they audited a post master they were always basing it off the horizon reports.
As far as I’m aware, they can’t even advise what happens to all the money they forced the post masters to “pay back”.
They seems to have a shitty culture of treating the post masters like criminals unless proven innocent, and still believe they’re the victims of their own flawed software.
- Comment on Harvest in England the second worst on record because of wet weather 10 months ago:
There’s only 1,336 operational solar farms as of Sep 2024… So would be marginal at best. Certainly generating a lot less CO2 than if the land was developed into anything else.
