- Comment on Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons 1 year ago:
It's not a honeypot. It's a genuine company. I am not sure if what they do is actually helping anyone but to my knowledge the treatments are pretty expensive.
- Comment on Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons 1 year ago:
Yeah I get a lot of those as well. Anxiety, ADHD, and autism stuff mostly. I keep shooting down the ads as I suffer from none of these things. No idea why it keeps pushing that crap.
- Comment on Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons 1 year ago:
Yeah I just get fed with bullshit on ADHD and Autism nonstop.
- Comment on Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie 1 year ago:
This is a thing that isn't happening, at least not among Gen Z. What a bullshit article.
- Comment on YouTube Channel Linus Tech Tips’ Inaccuracies And Sexual Harassment Allegations, Explained 1 year ago:
I don't disagree necessarily with your reaction on its surface, but would you be open to explaining how you feel and why you feel that way a bit more? I don't know if I know how to ask it the right way, but maybe if you're open to it, take your previous reply and break it down a bit.
I'm genuinely interested in learning more about these kinds of situations where maybe people we presume we can trust as reliable stewards in society let us down. I'm not sure that's even how you personally perceive it, but I'm truly interested in trying to better understand how people feel about this situation and why.
Only if you're open to it, and same goes for anyone else open to responding. I might do something with it in the form of a short story and would share the results here. Apologies if the ask is inappropriate and I can delete this.
- Comment on LinkedIn accounts hacked in widespread hijacking campaign 1 year ago:
Update passwords to something actually hard to brute force and turn on two factor authentication and it should (hopefully) prevent this from happening to you.
- Comment on The U.S. Government Wants To Control Online Speech to “Protect Kids” 1 year ago:
Not even close, but try again. They just look the same when you're so far left you need to squint to see anyone to the right of you. There is a massive gap between "neoliberals" as you call them, and the modern conservative electorate. Those "neoliberals" also represent the majority of voters on the left, hence the guy who is president being one of them. Stay mad though.

Jack O'Neil's son would still be alive today if he didn't get a hold of his father's gun. But then we wouldn't have Stargate. It's sort of a toss up to me.
- Comment on California just opened the floodgates for self-driving cars 1 year ago:
Because one of them costs taxpayer money and the other one is just signing legislation?
- Comment on Family rescued in Maui thanks to iPhone's satellite feature 1 year ago:
When Android does the same thing but the article calls out Apple specifically. It was a thing constantly on Reddit, but why wouldn't we expect it here too? Fanboys of Apple are happy to peddle their wares everywhere.
- Comment on Family rescued in Maui thanks to iPhone's satellite feature 1 year ago:
Because it is. Apple does this shit all time and it's enfuriating. Especially considering Android offers exactly the same feature so there's no "thanking" a brand when both major platforms do this.
- Comment on Zoom has “Zoom fatigue,” requires workers to return to the office 1 year ago:
Why even be in the office then? All this does is contribute pointlessly to burn out and invested carbon emission. I'd rather starve at this point than ever have to work in an office again.
- Comment on I re-purchased a Sega 32X. I don't know why... 1 year ago:
I had that thing with a Sega CD and saved every penny I could raise from shoveling snow and raking leaves to get them both and probably ended up playing like 3 games between each of them.
- Comment on Weekly Elon Musk, Twitter and X MegaThread 1 year ago:
"Megathread" for one of the 25 Technology magazines on this site doesn't really work. That concept might work on Reddit but it really doesn't work here with all of the tech forums being so distributed. There can't be common sizing of rules unfortunately.
- Comment on No Need for Twitter—TikTok Users Can Now Make Text Posts 1 year ago:
No need for TikTok either, really. All of that same shit is available on a dozen other services. Let's just be gone with them both.

- Comment on "X.com now points to https://twitter.com/" 1 year ago:
He's been doing X shit forever. He had a comany in 1999 that merged with PayPal. Then he has SpaceX. Dude is obsessed with that letter for whatever reason like he wants to be known for it, but I'll only recognize David X. Cohen, co-creator of Futurama, as the true purveyor of the letter X.
- Comment on "Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos. 1 year ago:
I have been looking for this but for a customized list of celebrities and politicians whose opinions carry little weight in the real world.
- Comment on The TSA will use facial recognition in over 400 airports 1 year ago:
Cool, you don't have to come here then.
- Comment on The TSA will use facial recognition in over 400 airports 1 year ago:
You take it off when they check your ID.
- Comment on Why you might not want to use whatsapp anymore 1 year ago:
Signal for me personally. I'll never touch WhatsApp.
- Comment on Netflix axes its $10 ‘Basic’ plan in the US and UK 1 year ago:
Why would you be even? They got rid of it because for whatever reason people complained about offering a more economical option. Use whatever streaming services you want though. At this point it's just about content.
