- Comment on So sick 5 weeks ago:
If anyone wants the actual explanation:
It’s cuz they think it’s the moon, which they instinctually fly towards for some reason, but they’ve never be able to reach it so the idea of “light=hot” doesn’t occur to them.
Basically, they dumb.
- Comment on It is what it is 5 weeks ago:
Incognito/Private Browsing came about when people were sharing computers more often. It doesn’t save history and cookies and whatnot on your device. It’s to prevent the next user from getting in to your bank account.
Google and whoever else will still know your IP and can use that to cross-reference whatever other data they have on you.

- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 1 month ago:
I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.
Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.
I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]
Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.
So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

You can also make your own microwave popcorn without the PFAs for a lot cheaper. Just toss some popcorn seeds in oil, put em in a plain paper bag and microwave.
- Comment on Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux 1 month ago:
The best thing Europe could do is take those savings and use it to cover the salaries of a couple full time developers per country to help verify code and add new features.
It would be such a boon to the whole world.

Except that it gives predators an easy way to be alone with drunk women. I wouldn’t trust Uber’s security checks.
- Comment on Zuckerberg had a 'crazy idea' to boost Facebook's relevance: Make everyone start from scratch 3 months ago:
Nobody shares things any more. It’s all just reposts from shitty pages that no one actually chose to subscribe to.
