- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 2 weeks ago:
It’s only “fast” now. If you need to get something quick, it’ll do, but you’re paying far more than you should for the quality you’re getting.
The hubris of these guys to raise prices as high as they did and to keep it there is for the type of food they produce is silly.

For those like me that had never seen this before: vogue.com/…/paris-hilton-debunks-stop-being-poor-…
This apparently never happened.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 3 weeks ago:
When CEOs say they feel it when they need to do layoffs, I think they mean in their wallets.
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 3 weeks ago:
I also like the absurd amount of permissions it required. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 3 weeks ago:
I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.
However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
I just got my pro fold, I haven’t used it that much as a tablet to be honest. It is nice to do when I need it.
Did you get the Google insurance thing that’s quite pricey with it? I have a few days to get it.

- Comment on God of War Ragnarök released and Steam Deck Verified, needs a launch option for Desktop Linux 1 month ago:
I think they could be referring to requiring a Sony PS account to play this game much like HellDivers 2.
- Comment on Windows Media Player and Silverlight are losing legacy DRM services on Windows 7 and 8 1 month ago:
I convinced my parent company like 10 years ago to stop the push to Silverlight. We were a .NET shop so it made certain sense and we were basically writing apps, but I had to tell them that MS was killing it and it was better to stick to web apps.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 month ago:
Oh I use the website on my phone. Keeps asking me to spin Some stupid wheel though.
- Comment on Apple told to pay back €13bn in tax by EU 2 months ago:
But like, what financial benefits do they get from this? Like the country itself. I’m really bad in this area. Like, do they buy property or set up a thin business? Does that pull in enough?
- Comment on Thank you! 2 months ago:
I thought they were making a joke, in that latte means milk and that it’s “cafe latte” in Italy or something.

It works surprisingly well. I wanted to wait for the official but I have a flight coming up and this is gonna make it awesome.
I can’t wait to buy the mobile version and recommend it to all of my friends!

- Comment on Concerns over addicted kids spur probe into Meta and its use of dark patterns 5 months 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.
- Comment on Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed this 6 months ago:
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 6 months 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. 6 months 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 6 months 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.
