- Comment on The United States of America, but for Trans People 9 months ago:
You linked exmormon.org? That's one of the most vitriolic and biased websites dedicated to spreading hate about members of the Church. It's clear you're strongly prejudiced, so there's no point in me trying to convince you to look beyond your own animosity.
Good day.
- Comment on The United States of America, but for Trans People 9 months ago:
Nothing about the religion's teachings about gender, sexuality, and sin support mistreatment of people who believe or act differently. The broad strokes your applying to the entire religion is exactly the same as saying that all Muslims are violent terrorists just because of the actions of an extremist few.
In short, it's bigotry.
- Comment on Microsoft's Collapse in the Web Server Space Continued This Month 9 months ago:
Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.
- Comment on Microsoft's Collapse in the Web Server Space Continued This Month 9 months ago:
And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft's valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.
- Comment on Taylor Swift among 141 new billionaires in ‘amazing year for rich people’ 9 months ago:
It's mostly tongue-in-cheek. I'm not actually suggesting that Taylor Swift should give away all her money to randos on the Internet.
- Comment on Taylor Swift among 141 new billionaires in ‘amazing year for rich people’ 9 months ago:
They could fund everyone in the Fediverse and Reddit combined!
/s because it ain't happening :(
- Comment on Taylor Swift among 141 new billionaires in ‘amazing year for rich people’ 9 months ago:
She could donate a life-changing amount of money to every Fediverse user and still have more left over than she knows to do with.
- Comment on Sudo is coming to Windows 11 11 months ago:
To be honest, it just sounds like you have an unnecessary chip on your shoulder.
- Comment on Sudo is coming to Windows 11 11 months ago:
Sounds like a bit of a desperate reach to attach the EER label to this.

While The Church of Jesus Christ does pay for use of Ancestry.com licenses at FamilySearch centers, it was not involved in creating the company. The Church has it's own genealogy company: FamilySearch.org.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 1 year ago:
Beans, rice, and Instant Pot are the best. Instant Pots are also highly repairable in the unlikely even that they break.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 1 year ago:
Nothing more straightforward than hyperbole. /s
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 1 year ago:
Unfortunately, many of the people who most heavily dislike the corporate-controlled status quo are feverishly attempting to pass laws to make it harder and more dangerous to do anything other than hope.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 1 year ago:
Better to simply stop reelecting politicians who support corporate bailouts for failing companies.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 1 year ago:
Extremely left, fairly toxic unless you're in a niche community. Couldn't count how many times self-described leftists from Lemmy instances told me to unalive myself.
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 1 year ago:
How loud is loud? Is it only loud children or children of any volume? How do you feel about loud adults?
- Comment on Proper HDD clear process? 1 year ago:
Oh, thanks for pointing that out. It's been a while since I needed to erase a disk so I didn't realize DBAN isn't really a thing anymore.
- Comment on Proper HDD clear process? 1 year ago:
You could also use DBAN to perform the erasure from outside the operating system.
- Comment on Threads is making moves for Mastodon integration 1 year ago:
I don't want my software pushing propaganda on me. Thanks but no thanks.
- Comment on Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app 1 year ago:
I'm not sure it's correct to call Discord spyware, but it certainly has privacy implications. https://nerdbot.com/2023/02/24/using-discord-consider-these-security-and-privacy-factors/
- Comment on Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app 1 year ago:
The problem is convincing other people to switch as well. There's no point in me using Matrix if all of the people I want to communicate with only want to use Discord.

Will humanity even exist then?
- Comment on Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem? 1 year ago:
too much money
That's the rub. There's a LOT of money on the table.
- Comment on Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem? 1 year ago:
It may be too late to turn this ship around, but there are a few things that, at least for me, would make YouTube ads less of a problem:
- Vet all the ads. Do not allow links to malware sites, scams, or low-quality merchandise and services to be on the platform.
- Make the ads less annoying. Don't stick them into weird spots on a video.
- Stop tracking me and trying to display targeted ads. I value my privacy, and like OP, I am never going to click an ad.
- Comment on Grafana GDPR fail? 1 year ago:
In case anyone is curious and doesn't know, "Do Not Track" was originally a proposed Internet standard from 2009-2018, but was never formally adopted by the W3C. Its successor is called Global Privacy Control (https://iapp.org/news/a/is-gpc-the-new-do-not-track/). I'm guessing that Grafana is playing games by saying there is no technology standard for DNT, because technically the new standard has a different name. I wouldn't consider a company that plays semantic games like this to be trustworthy when it comes to privacy.
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
The person he was responding to was asking for some specific clarification. Instead of offering it, he appealed to his own authority, essentially listing his credentials in a pompous way and then saying "You don't need to understand. I'm the expert, I'll understand it for you."
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
The way the guy was flexing about being an "expert", while it may or may not be true (I haven't independently verified his credentials), is extremely offputting. Refusing to engage with hecklers is a better policy than flexing with your education, credentials, and experience.
- Comment on Here you go, Class 1 year ago:
This still happens nearly every week in Sunday school.
- Comment on Lemmy is one of the most annoying social media sites if you're not an american 1 year ago:
Makes sense, because Kbin is made by a Polish developer and its first instance was Polish.
