- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 3 days ago:
So weird. I don’t even remember viewing that article. Maybe it was a link just above my address bar.
- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 4 days ago:
Found an article that says this software is usually in-memory only and restarting regularly will purge it (obviously you could get reinfected): zdnet.com/…/is-meta-secretly-scanning-your-phones…

Your sick child is weakening our nation.

Oh, boy, you must be new here.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 1 week ago:
Seriously though. We’ll legislate anything to keep them from seeing stuff they might reasonably expect to see and do one day and glorify things nobody should ever see or experience in person.
- Comment on Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines. 2 weeks ago:
I’ll say it again. Stop tracking me and I’ll look at your ads. I look at physical mailers, like I literally look through them, more than I look at Internet ads.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
The reply was a much more biased take than the article itself. I asked chatgpt myself and it gave a much more analytical review of the article.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
This feels like such a double head fake. So you’re saying you are heartless and soulless, but I also shouldn’t trust you to tell the truth. 😵💫
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
I think there are real productivity gains to be had but the vast majority are probably leaning into the idea of replacing people too much. It helps me do my job but I’m still the decision maker and I need to review the outputs. I’m still accountable for what AI gives me so I’m not willing to blindly pass that stuff forward.
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 2 weeks ago:
Probably not the hottest of markets right now (not just because of Trump and company) and I was in a similar boat when I graduated. My first job was Best Buy (not Geek Squad unfortunately) then tech support then a reporting analyst. Took probably 4 years for me to get into a job where coding was the main aspect.
That being said, I feel bad for any new graduate except for maybe lawyers.
- Comment on From Book Bans to Internet Bans: Wyoming Lets Parents Control the Whole State’s Access to The Internet 2 weeks ago:
Making TLDs for restricted content (.adu or .xxx) would be a super easy way to filter sites as well. To me it’s like putting Playboys or whatever at the top of the rack with an opaque plastic – nothing is physically stopping kids from getting to it except gross negligence from every adult in the vicinity.
- Comment on Intel collapsing? 3 weeks ago:
I think the overall risk of investing in a single company is still too much right now, but I’ll be damned if I’m not regretting the timing of selling my shares. I made a big profit either way but dang.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t have many but I’m pulling all my repos from GitHub.
- Comment on U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China 3 weeks ago:
But taxes don’t come out of the blue, there’s a tax code. This sounds like someone in the Trump admin just negotiated a quid pro quo agreement.
- Comment on Mexit, not Brexit, is the new priority for the UK 3 weeks ago:
Then… Isrexit maybe?
- Comment on mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people 4 weeks ago:
If the EU (or China) steps it up we’ll eliminate HIV in Africa before it’s eliminated in the US. Christians still need a way to punish homosexuals.
- Comment on Florida sues some of the biggest porn platforms, accusing them of not complying with the state's age verification law 4 weeks ago:
Porn has been around since cave paintings. 😐

I mean, for once, this isn’t just a chant. Epstein was the supplier but we have yet to nail his customers to the wall.
- Comment on Is there anything I can do to decrease the gap in my blinds? 4 weeks ago:
I have a “center curtain” for this very reason. Depends on how much it hurts your soul to basically turn one window into two smaller windows.

And they know your medical conditions, your income, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies, your vices, your insecurities, your deepest desires. Fast forward 10 years and every page and site you visit will be AI generated on the spot to lead you around by the nose and which way they feel like.
“Your local team just won the championship! Buy one of their limited edition jerseys now for only one hour of your income! Act now and we won’t send videos of you jerking it to your coworker your wife is super jealous of. If you pay for express shipping we’ll disable your home security and quietly sneak in and hang it in your closet, even while you sleep! Just kidding! We bought all of this for you anyway, because we own your drug store and we would’ve just withheld your insulin until you bought a jersey… I mean TWO jerseys.”
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 4 weeks ago:
Protect from what? I mean seriously. Most of us (guys at least) probably saw porn way before we were old enough and most of us probably didn’t end up as rapists or pedophiles. It’s not a good thing by any means, but it really feels like we’re trying harder to keep sexual material from entering their brains than we are trying to keep them fed, clothed, educated, housed, healthy, loved, and physically safe. Of all the things I mentioned the last seven have a monumentally greater affect on their success and well-being as an adult.

- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 5 weeks ago:
Holding them accountable would be jail time. I’m fine with even putting the salesman in jail for this. Who’s gonna sell your vehicles when they know there’s a decent chance of them taking the blame for your shitty tech?

If it’s like any other nuclear plant it could go on for decades with an ever-increasing budget and nobody would raise an eyebrow.

And as a result of our ass backwards system it’s not uncommon for me to see 2-3 bills for ONE visit. Of course, each bill has its own payment system too.
