- Comment on Concerns over addicted kids spur probe into Meta and its use of dark patterns 2 hours ago:
Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.

Bullshit. I’ve seen Pulp Fiction and I’ve never noticed that.
- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees 1 week ago:
A few months ago my director started discussions on return to office mandates. No one else really paid any attention.
I went in today and nobody is here, including my director. I don’t think anyone thinks the commute is worth the value they’re pitching.
I should have slept in an extra two hours.
- Comment on Streaming is cable now | Seventeen years after Netflix and Hulu kicked off a streaming revolution, it’s looking more like cable than ever. 1 week ago:
I have a reminder to cancel Amazon Prime in a month. I never really used the TV portion until a few months ago and was like, fine … the selection sucks but it’s alright. After they introduced the ads now, it’s unusable to me. I’m getting rid of it entirely and not rewarding this type of behaviour.

I’d be riding an ebike right now, if I knew how I could park it safely :/
- Comment on Neuralink Co-Founder Suggests He Left Elon Musk's Company Over Safety Concerns 1 week ago:
I think it’s 'cause we know more about him. I think if we knew he was a whimsical dude and legitimately trying to help people instead of enriching himself, we’d see these pics and give him a bit more of a pass.

The accounts are so important that you’re willing to lose sales in that many countries?!

- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 2 weeks ago:
They’re possibly complimentary but not mutually exclusive. I think if they sold the form factor of the device over the phone that that would have been more honest marketing.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 2 weeks ago:
R1s statement in response from the article:
“rabbit r1 is not an Android app. We are aware there are some unofficial rabbit OS app/website emulators out there. We understand the passion that people have to get a taste of our AI and LAM instead of waiting for their r1 to arrive. That being said, to clear any misunderstanding and set the record straight, rabbit OS and LAM run on the cloud with very bespoke AOSP and lower level firmware modifications, therefore a local bootleg APK without the proper OS and Cloud endpoints won’t be able to access our service. rabbit OS is customized for r1 and we do not support third-party clients. Using a bootlegged APK or webclient carries significant risks; malicious actors are known to publish bootlegged apps that steal your data. For this reason, we recommend that users avoid these bootlegged rabbit OS apps.”
So there’s literally no reason for this to have been a device at all.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 patch makes life hellish indeed for smaller parties, but also makes maps more fun to explore 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t it? It just takes a lot more shots, I think.
- Comment on Antybooties 2 weeks ago:
I remember listening to an NPR podcast and it was talking about wasting money in science. There was that “shrimp fight club” and millions being spent on it. Turns out the money was for a science lab and for students wages and just a bit of money went on the shrimp experiment. Didn’t stop the headlines though. When the scientist went to explain the point to the politicians. They said that the shrimp shells were so resilient and lightweight and studying it could yield military benefits. The politician said that they would only care about that specific use case. The scientist had to explain you don’t get one without the other.

- Comment on Microsoft: Copilot ‘app’ on Windows Server mistakenly added by Edge 4 weeks ago:
I’m using Outlook on my Android phone for my really old school Hotmail account. Yes, I have Gmail too but this is just one I’ve had for years.
When I tried opening an external link it asked me if I wanted to use Edge and has it selected above my “default FF” option… I mean, what the hell guys.

I’ve spent a small fortune on split keyboards now, it never came to mind for some reason. Definitely helped too.

I’m all seriousness everyone, take many breaks and there’s lots of wrist and hand stretches online.
Also, vertical mouse have helped my carpal tunnel. If you don’t know what that is, use the Magic Mouse for a little while and it’ll kick in.

“People are attacked all the time in the media, online media, social media, but it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on their life,” said Musk.
F this guy.
- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 2 months ago:
It can also depend on the device. I’ve had smaller devices and have had to charge multiple times a day. After getting a bigger phone with a bigger battery. I simply don’t think about it anymore. I imagine my phone dying before the battery does or even if it does, I’ll pay for a replacement if needed. I’d rather not stress in the day to day.

Me too, for several purchases. I’ve never followed through with it though. I’d report them if I felt it did something.
- Comment on [Politics] Have phobia, will travel 2 months ago:
It’s not just white people but I get what you mean. So much of politics is performative/culture wars. What always irks me is that behind closed doors some of them are gay or have had abortions privately or something else but they go on acting as though it’s the end of the world publicly.

- Comment on Samsung’s $1,300 phone might someday have fees for AI usage 3 months ago:
There’s not much about what features these are. I understand AI costs a lot to run and they’re at least being upfront before they enshittify. That being said, I never liked Bixby and I hated that cursed button and every time I accidentally pressed it. I also gave up on Galaxy phones after removing the headphone jack, SD card and stuff.
