- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 2 days ago:
Get your ham license and send them by SSTV over the air. Truly decentralized. youtu.be/Yak__tnFHKs
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 2 days ago:
So, unironically, I do plan to request Firefox with uBlock as a reasonable accomodation for my ADHD if I’m not able to use it at a job on the future. Banner ads are genuinely distracting and I have a real disability that makes them worse for me.

Because the best sort of shit post is one that’s also informative!

Nope. My cat loves people and will always come socialize when we have company.
- Comment on Meow 3 days ago:
Then say something. I have a cat and a dog. They’re both amazing. They are both loving and loyal. They play together so well. My dog needs to chase my cat to get hyped to eat, my cat knows and plays along. My cat lets me know when the dog is on the porch and wants back in. My dog cobs my cat.
Cats and dogs are both fucking amazing. Insisting one is better than the other is foolish. We are blessed to have such amazing creatures in our lives.

Might be obvious, but have you ruled out infection? Sometimes cats pee in places they shouldn’t if they have a UTI.

I also love them so much 😻
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 5 days ago:
For fuck’s sake, no need to say ableist shit like that. I’m just saying I haven’t seen it, not that 100% hasn’t happened.

Over or in addition to? I haven’t seen anyone say BlueSky over Mastodon.

Talk to John Oliver then.

Oh, uh, retracted. 👀 Oops.

“My wife needs this or she’ll die!”
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 6 days ago:
I will get a sex robot when it can order me to scoop cat boxes and fold laundry.

It’s funny to think that far enough into the future this may be viewed as robophobic.

Exactly, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Someone using BlueSky over Twitter is a good thing.

Don’t forget Margot Robbie
- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 6 days ago:
How? I don’t care how long a game takes to make, I want it to be good.
- Comment on place yer bets 1 week ago:
I have no idea, I had this on my computer so I uploaded it and it works. It works on some front ends and apps and not on others. I was just happy with the magic and used it!
- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 week ago:
I keep seeing this headline and thinking it’s a slur
- Comment on Meta claims torrenting pirated books isn’t illegal without proof of seeding 1 week ago:
This is why I try to find legitimate sites offering direct downloads instead of illegally uploading during torrenting. There are many sites offering direct downloads, but I often have trouble finding them.
- Comment on No means no 1 week ago:
I thought OneDrive deleted my Documents and Desktop folders until I realized it relocates them from
C:\Users\you\toC:\Users\you\OneDrive\. - Comment on place yer bets 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s unfair, it’s just that being one square away with 99% accuracy missing always feels like bullshit, regardless of whatever explanation you give.
- Comment on place yer bets 1 week ago:
Wtf, no, the way to deflect an asteroid is to send something near it while it’s far away. Blowing it up just risks another smaller asteroid hitting us. Small changes in direction while incredibly fast away will change its path enough to be safe.
- Comment on Facepalm on multiple levels 1 week ago:
They’re ignoring the equal rights amendment. I don’t think we’ll see another amendment.

Certainly more than “arm chair Monday morning quarter backing”
