- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 7 hours ago:
So that when the oligarchs assume full unchecked control of the US, no one will lift a finger to help the rest of us.

You’re probably just better going with a fork of FF that has all that nonsense stripped out.

- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 1 week ago:
Yeah, old 4chan was definitely something. You had some of the absolute funniest shitposting imaginable, right next to some shit that no amount of eye bleach and showers could cleanse you of. Like, it was fun every once in a while for shits and giggles, but it started messing with your psyche after even an hour. The casual racism alone was in no way ironic. And So. Much. CP; to the point where most of the images aren’t even worth a glance because there’s a good chance it’s underage revenge porn. I genuinely don’t know how that site is still up.
Nowadays it’s pretty damn tame, at least compared to how it used to be. And the wicked thing is, there are people who legit live on there, as in it’s damn near all they do with their lives, both then and now. I’ll go peek in every few months for a nostalgia trip, but I’m out after 10 min on average, it’s still toxic as hell.
- Comment on Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? 1 week ago:
And constantly forcing a particular set of values/viewpoints down everyone’s throats is exactly how we ended up in the situation we are in now. Promoting equity and inclusion is great and the right direction for society, but forcing people (especially conservatives) to turn on a dime is going to yield resistance, and taking it over the top is how people like Trump get elected. That is the culture war aspect even moderates don’t care for, the constant drum banging. If we keep the ante up for slow and consistent change, we’d be much further ahead than via social force. You catch more bees with honey, and it would take generations to effectively breed the excess amount of hate out of American society.

Has no log VPN
“We have no record of anything, oh well.”

It’s because their entire identity is based on culture wars and politics. But those of us who are well adjusted, who gives a shit what color/orientation a protagonist is, as long as the plot has actually substance and the entire purpose of the story isn’t virtue signaling.

- Comment on 'Uber for Armed Guards' Rushes to Market Following the Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO | Are you scared to walk down the streets of NYC and also have too much money? There's an app for that 2 weeks ago:
Or the delusional. Anyone with a serious security concern has mitigation plans in place. This is for people who think they need security because reasons, mainly to satiate their ego.
I remember right after the UHC assassination I was in getting a haircut, and there was another guy getting cut that was loudly spouting off about how he was afraid for his life because he’s a CEO. Like dude, you’re a CEO of a small local financial services firm, not the CEO of a massive conglomerate. I’m technically the CEO of my small contracting company that’s incorporated. We are not targets (unless you’re a massive prick, which by the way he was talking was quite possible), but if one of us got popped it wouldn’t make the news, nor are we likely to be targeted, calm down lol.

- Comment on Social media users grapple with anti-LGBTQIA+ policy changes. 2 weeks ago:
These people aren’t thinking that far ahead, they just view it as a way to increase their own revenue without a thought or care as to wider consequence. I can’t say I exactly blame them, we’re a small town that practically lives on Facebook and these people are running respectable small businesses to support their families, but I also refuse to play the Zuck game.
- Comment on Social media users grapple with anti-LGBTQIA+ policy changes. 2 weeks ago:
I’m currently working getting advertising going for my contracting business, and the number of people straight getting mad at me because I refuse to use Meta and Google is too damn high. I refuse to give Meta any business whatsoever, though I might do an SEO campaign with Google/bing.
- Comment on Linux's Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down - Phoronix 2 weeks ago:
Bingo.
Contributing and/or maintaining a FOSS project < not getting murdered by my wife for “playing on my computer instead of spending time with my family.”
It could be some of the most mission-critical work imaginable, but she’d still see it as goofing around because I’m not getting paid, and she requires attention. And I love the hell out of my wife, so happy wife indeed equals happy life.

- Comment on Man Trying to Buy Entire Landfill to Recover Lost Bitcoin Hard Drive 2 weeks ago:
Aye, but I’m talking about those working at said landfill, and I do believe there’s a huge predication within this conversation that all participants are fully law abiding folks, even marginally. Not saying you’re wrong in any sense, but I’m just on about the gray area of individuals employed by said landfill just keeping a keen eye open for a potentially valuable little box and then running off into the sunset should they happen on it. Pure speculation, of course.
- Comment on Man Trying to Buy Entire Landfill to Recover Lost Bitcoin Hard Drive 2 weeks ago:
That’s assuming they’re following the letter of the law. If I worked there and happened upon that drive, and it turned out to be viable, I’d disappear very quickly.
- Comment on Man Trying to Buy Entire Landfill to Recover Lost Bitcoin Hard Drive 2 weeks ago:
If there was a chance of recovering a hard drive worth around $750mil, you bet your ass I’d exhaust every option possible.
That said, there’s a pretty good chance the landfill owner and all their employees have been ransacking that place to beat him to it.
- Comment on China’s Salt Typhoon Spies Are Still Hacking Telecoms—Now by Exploiting Cisco Routers 2 weeks ago:
Probably make sure you have your own firewall on your private network, and if anything is exposed to the internet, make sure it’s locked down as tight as you can. For the record, very few people outside of professionals and enthusiasts are running Cisco equipment in their homes.

My theory is that the new method for data vacuuming is charging a benignly small fee to make it appear that you’re paying for a service and not getting raided, as opposed to using a free service where you assume they’re harvesting you like an apple tree.
