Of course they are. They are a literal data farm. People need to stop using it.
- Comment on A secret is something you keep, whilst a surprise is something you give. 1 week ago:
A fair point. The rule is more to not keep secrets from eachother. This post was more about the distiction between secrets and surprises, and not really focused on the moral considerations or other nuances.

What do you mean? How am i giving him a reason to lie by helping him understand that secrets are bad.

Not sure you get it. But i feels intentional so i won’t engage any further.

I expect i will crumple at that point. But i hope i set him up with the tools he needs to navigate that part of life. And hopefully he feels close enough with me to come to me for help.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 4 weeks ago:
An encrypted proxy. Thats a pretty hefty distinction.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 4 weeks ago:
They couldn’t switch off VPNs for businesses. I work in a hospital and we use VPNs to create secure tunnels to other third party health care companies as well as NHS adjacent health services amongst other things. This is to protect patient sensitive data amongst other things. This would cripple our service and go against NHS england and government requirements for the secure transfer and sharing of data.
This would have to be public VPNs only. Despite the fact that it would be complete bullshit either way.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 4 weeks ago:
My 5 year old son does have access to an android tablet, but i restrict, selectively, what he can do on it and time limit his usage so it locks down after a few hours. I curate his youtube and frequently spend time watching kids content to decide if i want him watching it. If its good and educational i will share it to his kids youtube account. He cant browse the web, he cant buy things on the play stores. He has to get me to approve any app install and i will always install first and play to ensure it safe.
Its hard work, but its worth it to protect him online. And this helas lead to it just being another one of his toys, it doesnt absorb his whole existence. He can take it or leave it. Which i am chuffed about.
When he is older and i can help him understand for himself how to be safe, i will help him however i can. Rather than restric, i will help him understand what the internet is, the good the bad and the ugly.

Monogamy is a preference on a spectrum, and if you aren’t into it, then that’s fine. But dont throw shade on the most commonly practised form of relationship like you are somehow above it. It just makes you look pretentious and honestly a little bit sad.

- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 1 month ago:
From a budget phone to a flagship?
Yeah, i can see how the difference would be night and day…
Regardless pixel is a great series of phone if the OS works for you then stick with google phones.
Personally i like samsung. Even if they have gotten pretty shady. Since i owned the s2 years back i have always found myself liking samsung.
Tried nexus 6, tried the OG pixel which i liked but ruined when i dropped it in a barrel filled with potatos and water. (No k wont elaborate, its more fun to leave you guessing)
Tried huawei and enjoyed my p20 pro and p30 pro but once the fold 3 came out i was back with samsung. Got a fold 6 now and am very happy.
If i recall, since the advent of smart phones, i went: Sony xperia x10 Galaxy S2 Galaxy S4 mini Google Nexus 6 Google Pixel Huawei P20 pro Huawei P30 pro Galaxy Fold 3 Galaxy Fold 6
- Comment on NVIDIA is full of shit 1 month ago:
Since when did gfx cards need to cost more than a used car?
We are being scammed by nvidia. They are selling stuff that 20 years ago, the equivalent would have been some massive research prototype. And there would be, like, 2 of them in an nvidia bunker somewhere powering deep thought whilst it calculated the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
3k for a gfx card. Man my whole pc cost 500 quid and it runs all my games and pcvr just fine.
Could it run better? Sure
Does it need to? Not for 3 grand…
Fuck me!..

- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 1 month ago:
It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?
Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)
My personal experience has been one of:i am sure of my sexuality but unsure of my gender. Eventually, i decided that I wouldn’t focus on what gender i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.
I didn’t need a label to feel secure about that.
Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.
Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 2 months ago:
But dealing with the root of the problem doesnt magically make the problem go away. We still need to deal with all the plastic that still exists after we fix the root. We still need a way to get microplastics out of the body. This is valuable research and you are essentially virtue signalling.

- Comment on Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved 2 months ago:
So is it saying essentially that in order to not output garbage, it needs to know first what garbage is?
Is it just me that things this seems like a no-brainer?
It almosr draws parallels to many societal issues. Knowledge is power.
People tend towards intolerance and hatred when they dont understand the thing they are angry at. The more they know the better they behave.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 2 months ago:
I can’t speak for trans people, but i would expect that the best course of action is to be yourself and dont mock anyone. You can rib and have a laugh, but dont open with a whole script of trans jokes. Get to k ow them, like you would with anyone and learn the boundaries naturally. If you think of them as different, you will be on edge the whole time and are more likely to mess up.
If you make any mistakes, just be sure to apologise, and i am sure any of them would understand. Ultimately, as far as i understand it, trans people just want to be accepted and allowed to be them selves and be a part of society. The only way that happens is if we dont treat them differently, whether thans positively or negatively.
