Not saying you’re wrong but a citation with that quote would go a long way
- Comment on Microsoft’s Recall AI feature won’t be available for Windows testers until October 2 months ago:
Time to leave Windows already. It’s been a broken mess for so long. Literally decades. One of my first jobs when I was a teenager in the 2000s was fixing electronics, often Windows computers. It was a broken mess back then too.
The alternatives are good. Desktop Linux works pretty well out of the box last time I used a Linux laptop as my daily driver. If specific software you need isn’t supported there’s undoubtedly an open source alternative, or a web app. Most browsers let you “install” web apps now too. I used the full MS Office suite for years as installed web apps.
Macs are expensive up front but they last forever and are rock solid with security and stability. I never have to fuss with mine, and there’s almost definitely a Mac version of whatever specific software you need on Windows.
Everything runs some form of UNIX now. Stop wasting time with Microsoft’s ancient 25 year old NT kernel and the broken (and now spyware) OS they built on top of it.

As long as they don’t hurt your feelings or make you angry by their very existence, then yeah that seems pretty normal. There’s a big difference between “I’d like to see those genitals” and “I’d like to control those genitals” ya know lol

How often do you suppose you think about strangers genitals on an average day? You people are so obsessed. It’s very weird.

Us Americans are too excited about making stuff with our Uh-loo-min-um that we just skip pronouncing some of the vowels

Coworkers amirite 🙄
- Comment on New acoustic attack steals data from keystrokes with 95% accuracy 1 year ago:
It looks like they only tested one keyboard from a MacBook. I’d be curious if other keyboard styles are as susceptible to the attack. It also doesn’t say how many people’s typing that they listened to. I know mine changes depending on my mood or excitement about something, I’m sure that would affect it.
- Comment on Why are there many hundred Chromium based browsers, but seemingly very few Firefox based browsers? 1 year ago:
Doesn’t work forever though. Used to be the same with Microsoft and Internet Explorer, but better things came along that were less terrible and not controlled by a single tech company throwing their weight around to push their own standards.
It’ll happen again if Google restricts the extension store much more though. They’ve been attacking ad and privacy extensions for years
