- Comment on Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages? 2 weeks ago:
It’s often implemented with JavaScript, yes
- Comment on Lying motherfuckers 2 weeks ago:
I love it, it’s smaller than both PNG and JPEG while better looking than both.
- Comment on Sorry for bad crop 3 weeks ago:
It’s a joke, the corn is a type of crop, and this one is bad.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that’s an argument against being able to live forever, not an argument against evolution being able to happen, if you did.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 3 weeks ago:
That is indeed what happens, and it is helpful. But I disagree evolution wouldn’t happen without it.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 3 weeks ago:
There is also nothing inherently wrong with “optimization” and “automation”. It’s just that they are buzzwords and how the tech bros approach these topics.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 3 weeks ago:
Hmm, why can’t there be evolution without death? As long as organism reproduce, genes are passed on, and some reproduce more successfully than others, why would it matter if existing individuals stay around or not? I don’t see how it makes evolution fundamentally impossible.
- Comment on I just 💚 them and think they're neat. 4 weeks ago:
Lol, you can’t admit to losing an argument, can you.
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, which is what I said. It’s great, but an alternative solution is an alternative solution. If someone is sharing a file to a group with Airdrop, you are not receiving it with localsend.
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 4 weeks ago:
Localsend doesn’t support Airdrop.
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 5 weeks ago:
Which is great, but it doesn’t solve the interoperability problem of being ng able to AirDrop shares between someone’s iPhone/MacBook and your Linux/Android
- Comment on Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the *Men In Black* device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals) 1 month ago:
Drugs are technology
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 month ago:
No. The Quest runs Android.
- Comment on How am I supposed to decimate this fucker when it isn't even physical 2 months ago:
Against? Vaccines make you suspectible to 5G, which is why they emphasize they didn’t do it and yet are in danger.
- Comment on Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' 2 months ago:
What’s black mirror-like about better screens?
- Comment on Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' 2 months ago:
What does that have to do with the article though? The technology in question is not intended for implants.
- Comment on Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' 2 months ago:
What are you guys talking about, what eyeball, what computer in a lens? This is supposed to be for smart glasses or VR headsets.
- Comment on Mom they're fighting again 2 months ago:
Of the coco tree
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 2 months ago:
They can be spiritually united without a special ceremony, all depends on their personal beliefs.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 2 months ago:
Guess they have nothing to prove to each other, they don’t need a piece of paper or someone else to proclaim they are together forever, they already know that.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
I’ve never seen that happen, in fact bad reviews about problems in my apps keep being shown at the top of the list, even though the problems were solved years ago and the reviews are about a very early version.
- Comment on am I cooked chat 2 months ago:
He’s actually super nice in person, only plays a character of an asshole for the show.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
I mean, realistically it’s not possible to keep using an older version anyway. After a month or two it might stop working due to backend changes, unless it’s truly an offline app like a calculator, then maybe it will only break after a longer period.
So your choice is update or uninstall.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
Is that an iOS thing? On Android versions don’t reset reviews, and there is no “review of older version” message.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 months ago:
Of course it would be wrong. And not hypocritical.
But I guess a Trump voter like you would never understand the difference.
- Comment on Dune: Awakening gets a free weekend for September 11, a first ever discount and early DLC release 3 months ago:
“Couple of days”? It’s 21 days before you need to refuel a base. Which is fair to complain about, but a “couple” usually means 2-4.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 months ago:
You are still missing the point, judging by the “to justify it”, since I never said anything is trying to justify anything. I just recognize the difference between “bad” and “hypocritical”. You can do a bad thing and not be a hypocrite, you can do a good thing and be a hypocrite.
If you use a car. You are okay using cars.
Correct. Which doesn’t conflict with my point at all. The person in that example is okay using cars. Where they are legal. And wants to make them legal in less places.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 months ago:
I agree. And I think that not in all of such situations you would be misaligned with your values.
For example you may argue for making cars illegal, while you yourself own a car. You are not being a hypocrite, you are hoping that if cars were illegal, society would become more bike-friendly which is your ultimate goal, enabling you to stop needing a car.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 months ago:
What does that have to do with my comment? Again, the question is not whether it’s bad. It is, but it’s totally besides the point.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 months ago:
It being unnecessary is what it makes it bad, but it doesn’t make it hypocritical.
It would be hypocritical to own investment properties while telling other people not to.
It wouldn’t be hypocritical to campaign for making it illegal to have them.
In both scenarios your are contributing to the problem, but you aren’t a hypocrite in both.
