- Comment on Would it be possible to run Pi-hole, Octoprint and Home Assistant on the same RPi 3 mod. B? 3 months ago:
Definitely agree they should be split up if possible. Octoprint and Home Assistant are both rather demanding on a Pi, particularly the Pi 3B.
I would however opt to run Pi-Hole on the Home Assistant device as there is a plugin built in for it, and Home Assistant is the kind of thing you would be more likely to leave on at all times.
- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 6 months ago:
Blackberry did all of that years before Apple. Sure, they didn’t have a touchscreen, but all of the capability was there.
- Comment on YouTube will have fewer ad breaks on TV — but the ads are getting longer 6 months ago:
I certainly prefer fewer and longer ad breaks, over several short ones, but this still sucks.
- Comment on iOS 17.2 hints at Apple moving towards letting users sideload apps from outside the App Store 7 months ago:
Unfortunately, yes.

Can you use PC Optimum points to buy gift cards? That’s a great idea!
- Comment on The UK’s problematic Online Safety Act is now law | Ars Technica 8 months ago:
I completely agree that children should simply be using family computers. Kids are much to young to understand proper internet safety.
- Comment on States sue Meta for harming young people's mental health, collecting data on children 8 months ago:
You don’t usually have to ask someone if they’re being harmed by a person/substance/thing to see the negative effects it is having on their lives.
Socially media is already known to have negative impacts on adults. This means it WILL also have a negative impact on children and youth. Seeing as children and youth are even more susceptible to negative influences, due to their body and brain still developing, we need to protect them from what we can.
Even if kids are seeing worse things in their every day lives, that doesn’t make it okay to subject them to other less worse things.
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 8 months ago:
That’s actually incredibly unrealistic.
Just about every county in the world is divided into provinces/states/territories.

Oh, boy. Here we go again.
- Comment on Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don't like Facebook 8 months ago:
I want my kids to have the tools they need to succeed, and I realize a smartphone has nearly become essential at a certain age, but they also control the lives of many people. Technology is an amazing tools, but it has been designed to be highly addictive. Kids have enough problems to deal with, and I don’t want to make things harder for them.

That’s about what I’m expecting. 12 and 14 aren’t that different.

I definitely think tech should be a part of their life, but a personal smartphone is something I personally feel can wait.
- Comment on Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don't like Facebook 8 months ago:
That’s a very valid concern. Personally, I think parents should keep their kids away from phones much longer. While I’ve only got a kid on the way, I’m hoping to keep them off of smartphones until high school.
- Comment on Apple is ordered to face Apple Pay antitrust lawsuit 8 months ago:
My argument is that we should be going after more than just Apple. Apple is clearly the most at fault here, but that shouldn’t excuse companies like Google and Samsung.
- Comment on Apple is ordered to face Apple Pay antitrust lawsuit 8 months ago:
I definitely agree, all I meant is I think they should probably also be going after other companies as well.
- Comment on Apple is ordered to face Apple Pay antitrust lawsuit 8 months ago:
I’m not really sure that’s a fair argument. Android generally pushes Google Play, and Samsung devices push Samsung pay. Sure, Android has more choices, but it’s still device manufacturers pushing their own products.
Of course Apple should allow competition within their ecosystem, but Samsung and Google are basically doing the exact same thing.
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 8 months ago:
I wasn’t being sarcastic. I’m apologize if I missed something though.
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 8 months ago:
That’s a smart idea. Separating services across devices seems like something a low powered PC would be a great use for.

- Comment on Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system? 10 months ago:
I absolutely agree! It’s not a competition, we are all living in the same world with the same problems.
Families are at the centre of any society. Families function best when they help each other out. Parents are meant to sacrifice to help their children, just as their adult children should sacrifice later in life to help them.
- Comment on Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month 11 months ago:
The only way the internet can survive without ads or paywalls is for the person/business hosting the content to pay for everything out of pocket.
A platform like YouTube could never exist without some form of revenue. I understand that there are small platforms out there, such as PeerTube, but they will never be comparable to the scale of YouTube without some form of revenue. Sure, people could grow PeerTube by spinning up their own instances, but then they need to provide their own hardware and storage. At which point you’re spending just as much, or likely more, than you would on a subscription service.
