- Comment on US lawyers will reportedly try to force Google to sell Chrome and unbundle Android 4 weeks ago:
The case likely began (as an investigation) while Trump was still in office. Here’s hoping it can continue.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 4 months ago:
The support article explains the rationale.
Unchecked by default would render the experiment useless.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 4 months ago:
- PPA doesn’t make Mozilla money.
- Firefox is developed by Mozilla Corp, which can’t take donations. Mozilla Foundation does do fundraising drives, but that’s mostly for their public advocacy (which, ironically, may be where the idea for PPA originated).
- PPA has a checkbox in about:preferences.
- Comment on [C-SPAN] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Introduce Articles of Impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito (13:37) 5 months ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding the comment you replied to.
The “do nothing congress” was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.
The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That’s the comparison the commenter was making.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Deus Ex 5 months ago:
Dishonored is the closest Deus Ex successor in my mind. Harvey Smith in the level design DNA.
- Comment on Apple Decides to Block Open-Source Emulator App for iOS 5 months ago:
I believe Apple still has the power to block third party store apps based on signature. It’s a security thing to be able clean malware.

South Park was right all along. Those time travelers really are taking our jobs.
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 8 months ago:
As I said, it’s on consoles too — including Switch. It’s just that it’s a secondary platform for it — meaning it may be a lesser experience than on the platform it was ported from.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 8 months ago:
I’m dubious Android even serves as a base for Kobo’s OS. I’ve seen no evidence to support that claim.
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 8 months ago:
Outward is on consoles as well, though PC is its primary platform.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 8 months ago:
Tolinos use different processors precisely because they run Android, while Kobos do not.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 8 months ago:
I’m not aware of any Kobo using Android.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 8 months ago:
Kobo? No. They have their own firmware.
- Comment on Professional drummer hears Rage Against The Machine - Bulls on Parade for the first time... without the drums and is asked to improvise. 8 months ago:
I don’t think famous songs hold any special place for musicians, and this isn’t a song famous for its drums (that a drummer would seek out to study). There’s a lot of songs out there — sometimes you just miss some.
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 8 months ago:
Screen corners are prime real estate. They have infinite size beyond the screen, allowing you to quickly fling the pointer to them. It’s a big reason things like app menus or the Mac’s Mission Control are accessed by the screen corners.
- Comment on New Kickstarter for a cool looking game: Starship Simulator 8 months ago:
Sounds like its going for kind of a Pulsar: Lost Colony vibe to the gameplay. Not sure the Project Cars aspect of it really adds to the fun, though. Will keep an eye on it.
