- Comment on Elon Musk awarded nearly $1 trillion pay package by Tesla shareholders 2 days ago:
If you have a retirement account with “normal” recommended investments (I.e. broad-market mutual funds, target date or otherwise), you’re (indirectly) a Tesla shareholder and the fund manager likely voted your shares for this on your behalf.
You’ve been disenfranchised and the people controlling your money are breaching their fiduciary duty to you. You should be fucking pissed off!
- Comment on Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election. 2 days ago:
They’re trying to incite food riots to manufacture a pretext to declare martial law and give Trump even more absolute power.
- Comment on Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games? 2 days ago:
Anything on PC with a mouse/keyboard, maybe with the spacebar remapped.

NileRed, I assume?
- Comment on My block list in a nutshell: 3 days ago:
My hot take: blocking other users does almost no good, because everybody else still sees the shit they’re spewing. I don’t want to cover my eyes to ignore problems; I want to work towards fixing them, and in this context that means either rebutting the offending comments or reporting them so the mods remove them for everyone, not just me.
- Comment on The Typical First-Time Homebuyer Is Now 40 Years Old, a Record High 3 days ago:
It’s not just the permits; it’s the land itself. The vast majority of every metro area’s land is zoned single-family with minimum lot sizes vastly larger than what a single tiny home would need, so you end up being forced to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of land before you can even start to build on it, tiny house or otherwise.
- Comment on Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device? 4 days ago:
Demonstrating the need for jail breaking firmware for smart TVs (and repealing the DMCA anti-circumvention clause that enforces Tivoization) in two different ways at once:
- You can’t use ethernet-ovet-HDMI on your smart TV because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
- You only care about the feature in the first place because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
- Comment on Archaeologists Discover the World's Oldest Paintings—Made Long Before Humans Existed, and Eerily Sophisticated 4 days ago:
I’m just sayin’, if they’re not like us they don’t belong in the “like us” genus.
- Comment on Archaeologists Discover the World's Oldest Paintings—Made Long Before Humans Existed, and Eerily Sophisticated 4 days ago:
Arguably every species in the Homo genus has “everything we think of as human,” because otherwise they’d be in Australopithecus or Paranthropus instead.
- Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included 1 week ago:
If all you want is file sharing, like the blog post author wants, I don’t understand what’s wrong with something like a plain old SFTP server.
- Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included 1 week ago:
The weaker (permissive instead of copyleft) license alone is a reason to be suspicious of both the project and OP. At this point, it’s just telegraphing plans to eventually go proprietary and enshittify.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
with hidden post history
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.
I think that’s a point that deserves more attention. Considering the “long tail” of niche communities and that the propaganda surely isn’t evenly distributed, it’s very possible that the big default and political subs are mostly propaganda and other shilling at this point.

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 weeks ago:
WTF is “thretentiousness?”
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 2 weeks ago:
Ah, well, in that case, furniture-making should definitely be among your new hobbies.
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 2 weeks ago:
You live in a geodesic dome house. Clearly, you already don’t care what anybody else thinks!
(That’s kinda awesome, BTW.)
- Comment on TiVo Rides Into the Sunset 2 weeks ago:
I will never forgive TiVo for opening the door on Linux DRM (“Tivoization”).
- Comment on Nvidia and TSMC produce the first Blackwell wafer made in the U.S. — chips still need to be shipped back to Taiwan to complete the final product 2 weeks ago:
The fact that the result can apparently still manage to show up in a store cheaper than peaches grown and packed locally just goes to show how fucked up the economics in Argentina and Thailand are.
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 2 weeks ago:
Civic advocacy, hands down. It is infinitely the most important.
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 2 weeks ago:
'Tis the season for over-the-top programmable RGB holiday light displays choreographed to music.
(I haven’t gotten to the “choreographed to music” part of the hobby yet.)
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 2 weeks ago:
You are using an unsupported browser. Please install Firefox to continue
LOL, nice.
(I’m only not using Firefox at the moment because I’m on Graphene OS and they claim their “Vanadium” browser is best for some reason, so I was giving it a chance. Getting fed up and about to switch back to Firefox, though.)
- Comment on Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd 2 weeks ago:
Well, they are now.

Chicken tastes like dinosaurs too, though.
- Comment on Would dinosaur meat taste more like frog or chicken? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the dinosaur. Chicken, duck, goose, ostrich all taste a little different and other dinos would vary as well.

I wish they had an eco chamber! Their echo chamber is vehemently against that, though.
- Comment on Mozilla is recruiting beta testers for a free, baked-in Firefox VPN 3 weeks ago:
Progressive Web Apps
Modern Tab Management
Isn’t that already an extension?
Improved History Search
Could also be an extension, I bet.
Cross Site Scripting (like “Web Macros”)
Improved privacy containers (fighting browser fingerprinting)
Clearer and more fine granumar permission concepts (like Android, “may this website do xyz”)That’s the sort of thing I meant by “under-the-hood stuff normies won’t notice.”
I think a number of Javascript Apis are lacking in Mozilla compared to Chrome and others.
No, that’s a good thing. Fuck JavaScript; it has way too much access to stuff it shouldn’t already. If anything, APIs need to be removed.
I almost hate Mozilla as much as I do hate Google, because they are slowly letting Firefox die a death of unpopularity.
But at least they can pay their CEOs a lot of money out of that sweet Google ad revenue.
I think Google still deserves to be hated a lot more, but otherwise I agree. IMO there’s no good reason for Mozilla Corporation to exist; it should only be Mozilla Foundation (the non-profit part) and all board and management should be replaced with non-overpaid people who actually believe in the mission.
