I could read this from my couch in my home.
- Comment on lab supplies 3 days ago:
wow, delivered within 30 day!
- Comment on Election Simulations 1 week ago:
Looks like AI nonsense. The more I look at details, the less it makes sense.
- Comment on 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows 2 weeks ago:
I’m curious who’s actually getting 4 or less hours per day?
- Comment on Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall 2 weeks ago:
Let’s be real. “Surfing” was corny in the 90s.
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 2 weeks ago:
In gambling, the house always wins, by extracting value from the players. In stock trading, the players (capitalists) collectively always win, by extracting value from labor, technological growth, and natural resources. These are not the same picture.
Not all gambling requires a casino/house.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 weeks ago:
Agree with everything else but maybe not this:
You can choose to quit and be gone if you absolutely need to and you’re not going to be homeless. Now you work the toxic job not for them, but for yourself. You use that job, as toxic as it is, to get what you need out of it to raise yourself to the next level of what you need to go elsewhere.
The stress of losing the job is gone from having the money, but the stress of having that job has not gone away. If it is ruining all your free time it’s often good to just GTFO as soon as is reasonable.

Bad advice for a toxic workplace. That’s just going to ruin your mental health.
- Comment on We are at the Wolfenstein stage of capital. 3 weeks ago:
“To extend its service life” really bugs me.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
Art and science were largely the domain of the rich and bored for a long time. This wasn’t really conducive of attracting those with talent, just those with the means.

Direct video link:

I would love a wooden touchpad. That would feel so nice.
- Comment on My Arms Are Longer Now is a thievery game where the thief is a stretchy boneless flesh tube 4 weeks ago:
Hope it’ll support the Steam Deck. Looks like a great couch game.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 5 weeks ago:
The main image in the article is amazing. Two people making out in front of nuns and a robot. Looks like a blast.
- Comment on Daniel Khalife stole UK military secrets for Iran and made list of SAS names, trial told 5 weeks ago:
Read that as Daniel Radcliffe for whatever reason.

Notice shorter text?
- Comment on Meta smart glasses can be used to dox anyone in seconds, study finds 1 month ago:
You can have tools for recognition and not identification. Identification likely includes information that someone did not intend to share with you.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 1 month ago:
Nobody has ever been surprised by flood waters before. Paths of travel in low lying areas have never been cut off unexpectedly before. It must just be these dumb workers fault they drowned. /s
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 1 month ago:
We have the hindsight with full knowledge of the risk they were taking. I’d bet they only thought they were risking their next paycheck, not their lives.
- Comment on Mozilla launches privacy friendly AI addon called "Orbit" 1 month ago:
It is very privacy friendly […]
What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn’t “save your session data.” The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.
Either way, you’re still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.
- Comment on Mozilla faces a privacy complaint over Firefox's tracking 1 month ago:
More information about the privacy preserving ad measurement feature and how to disable it if you wanted. Mixed feelings.
- Comment on U.S.: Chinese state-sponsored spies spent 4 months in aerospace firm’s server 1 month ago:
“And immediately after we had removed them from the environment, another attack set off, which we attributed to the same group trying to get back in through other means,” he added.
This happened within 24 hours, with a credential-stuffing attack. “There was no opsec, no slow-and-low,” Dwyer said. “They put the persistent in APT. Once they identify a target as valuable to them and their goals and objectives, they will continue to try to get back in.”
And this is from a company that seems to at least sort of take security seriously (ignoring the glaring error that got them in this situation). Responding to this threat seems like a challenge for most companies down the supply chain.
- Comment on How the hell do I sign up for facebook? 1 month ago:
A photo of my balls would help in that case too but it doesn’t men I want to give it to them.
- Comment on the strange new future of story-driven PC gaming 1 month ago:
Need me a cyberpunk detective game with real verbal interviews.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down their Mastodon instance. 1 month ago:
Presumably it loads comments when you visit a page. That would send a request with the URL to whatever service they’re running.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down their Mastodon instance. 1 month ago:
Sounds to me like an extension that by design tracks every Web page you visit.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Hard to get too much detail on it yet. But looks like you’ll be able to build market tools (probably smart contracts) and other functionality.
If any game can leverage a public blockchain properly, it’s EVE. They’ve already got market driven economies and an in-game currency. Both historically annoyingly locked behind a TOS, limited APIs, and heavy-handed control of CCP.
Their community marketing system to unlock the closed beta looks like some bullshit though. I gotta perform actions like tweeting their trailer to get tickets to get access to the beta. I’ll pass.
- Comment on YouTube to restrict teenagers’ exposure to videos about weight and fitness 2 months ago:
So where is the line drawn? What about the teens who want to lookup how to do an exercise correctly without getting injured?
From the article:
The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.
