“I like getting fucked over” is a weird thing yo brag about but aight
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 3 months ago:
Reflexive contrarianism isn’t a good look.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 6 months ago:
Of course women experience oppression. I’m nonbinary and outwardly feminine and I get a fraction of that derision directed towards me as well. But because I won’t paint that as some inherent failing of people with XY chromosomes and point to social issues instead, gender essentialists get mad, and gender essentialists really engage with these posts.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 6 months ago:
It’s literally engagement bait gender wars bullshit. This conversation is fucking useless until you start asking WHY and none of them do, they just start throwing bullshit around about their own personal anecdotes or start screaming “NO THATS NOT TRUE” “YES IT IS”
It’s a useless never ending “debate”. Man vs. Bear should’ve taught us that. Mods should’ve locked the post or deleted it already IMO.

Yeah, personally I think the copyleft the GPL grants is really powerful and it’s the only license that gets used in my projects.
- Comment on Help 8 months ago:
Nope, I’m really used to GIMPs workflow and would actually prefer if they didn’t change it. I don’t want to learn a whole new program for no benefit. If you really care go use Krita.
- Comment on Help 8 months ago:
Install GIMP or Krita instead
- Comment on Evil 8 months ago:
Is it really contrarian to like the FSF these days? I mean people seem to hate Stallman too but both are pretty important in the history and maintenance of free software
- Comment on Evil 8 months ago:
100%, and it doesn’t seem to lay out a legal definition of “good” so it’s actually worse than useless - it’s ambiguous.
- Comment on You have hell yeah! friends 9 months ago:
Don’t be Reddit. It’s obviously a joke.
- Comment on Academic writing 11 months ago:
That also sounds odd to me. I’ve been consistently taught in school to avoid passive voice and it was a huge struggle for me for a long time (case in point). I’m attending a college in Canada for the record.
- Comment on Amazon CEO wants his staff back in the office full time • The Register 11 months ago:
I thought it was for real estate value

Hi.
- Comment on Big Penny! 11 months ago:
They actually raised it in recent history and people still get tin canned regularly.
- Comment on Big Penny! 11 months ago:
This is a defense that nobody needs or asked for. If you don’t understand the very, very simple concept of clearance you shouldn’t be driving a vehicle and especially not a truck.
- Comment on Misinformation: Russian money was funneled to U.S. right-wing creators through a pro-Trump media outlet, prosecutors say 11 months ago:
Just in case anyone was curious, the media group is Tenet Media, who is associated with Tim Pool and some other folks.

Nothing as long as it’s not out of a beaker :)
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Oh yeah, not the person you replied to directly, but it’s insanely obvious to me that this is YET ANOTHER PR stunt to make Elon look like he’s being targeted.
- Comment on Happy Weekend boiz 11 months ago:
Even if i was modeling I don’t think I could do this.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
The law doesn’t function the same everywhere. When you start/run an international business, it is necessary to understand this. When you don’t, things like this happen.
- Comment on Peeble streamer on Doop 1 year ago:
Not a millennial but I will always argue that the modern internet is inherently worse for people than the internet even of 15 years ago.
- Comment on Noise 1 year ago:
You also need to have a sampling rate that’s equal to 2x the highest frequency.
- Comment on Anon's coworker is a flat-earther 1 year ago:
Anon wouldn’t have gotten anywhere with that argument anyways. If your goal is to make them stop believing then you have to ask questions without seeming like you’re leading him to a certain conclusion in any way.
- Comment on Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game? 1 year ago:
Weed made all my days disappear. No matter how harmless it might seem I’m not recommending mind-altering drugs to anybody.
- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 1 year ago:
They didn’t say they deployed it, also enterprise operating systems are generally expected to not suddenly change manually-set policies for users…
- Comment on Try it this summer 1 year ago:
I wonder if there might be some ulterior motive to this article? I’m sure WaPo being owned by Bezos has nothing to do with it though.
- Comment on Hey kid 1 year ago:
Anyways that’s why I’m a dog
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 year ago:
Not really true at all in Canada. Once again this is just the side effects of weed being illegal being mistaken for the fault of the substance when it’s not.

Shitty Samsung Tab A8, it’s a random XDA developers AOSP ROM that I’ve removed Google garbage from. I don’t like the Samsung skin, it’s slow and has a ton of bloatware. Because I don’t need push notifs on it, there are no gapps replacements installed on it either. So I just use all F-Droid apps since I just browse the internet, read books, and read manga with it. Newpipe for YouTube.
- Comment on Come on, science! 1 year ago:
This has to do with all the services running in the background. Modern phones are actually extremely efficient, providing you’re not connected to push notification services and don’t have apps running in the background all the time.
Problem is that Google and Apple loooove user data and so it’s very hard to do this, impossible in the case of iOS. I have a fully google-less tablet and that things lasts many days on 1 charge.
