- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 1 day 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) 3 days ago:
Drugs are technology
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
No. The Quest runs Android.
- Comment on How am I supposed to decimate this fucker when it isn't even physical 3 weeks 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' 4 weeks ago:
What’s black mirror-like about better screens?
- Comment on Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' 4 weeks 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' 4 weeks 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.

Of the coco tree
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 5 weeks ago:
They can be spiritually united without a special ceremony, all depends on their personal beliefs.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 2 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 2 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? 2 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? 2 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? 2 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? 2 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.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
Your comment only argues it’s bad, which is not the question. The question is if it’s hypocritical.
I agree with you that it’s bad, and also think it’s not hypocritical to e.g. campaign for making owning investment properties illegal while owning an investment property. You are still the bad guy here but it’s not hypocritical to want a world where the bad thing you are doing is is no longer a thing, if for example the person in question thinks it would be unfair for them to miss out on the investment “while everyone else is doing it”.
Your are the bad guy but no, you are not a hypocrite.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
You are assuming they were against it at the time they bought it, if they even bought it and not for example inherited it.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
I don’t think it’s hypocritical to do something and at the same time want a world where it’s no longer a thing.
If you argue against capitalism, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also shop for groceries at a store?
If you argue that we should live in a moneyless utopia and yet you charge money for your services, is it hypocritical?
If you argue for climate change action and yet you drive a car, is it hypocritical?
Of course, owning investment properties contributes to the problem and there is no excuse for that, but I don’t think it’s hypocritical to see the problem and want to stop it.

It allows you to remotely see anywhere in the world where a transparent container (like a glass) is.
- Comment on Kirkland strong 2 months ago:
I assume it’s because Monster sponsors a lot of racing. So they aren’t putting the sticker up because they are proud of the Monster brand, but because it makes their car look more like racing cars do.
- Comment on They ain't there for you 2 months ago:
You’re violently agreeing again!
Yes, that’s the joke! : )
- Comment on They ain't there for you 2 months ago:
HR, after they say you can confide in them: insidious smile
This is such a common misconception
No it’s not, the meme is 100% right, and I’m not even going to read your attempt at defending them!
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 3 months ago:
ITT: People debating whether such a shirt is possible and not answering the actual question.
- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 3 months ago:
Yeah, but that’s like answering “Oreos, Jaffa Cakes, Biscoff, could I theoretically bake my own cookies?” with “It’s a task that usually takes entire teams of highly competent and experienced people. Food scientists, industrial designers, supply chain management, factory design, lots of math”
Well, yes, but OP is not trying to make a product to compete with these examples. The answer is absolutely yes – to both cookies and file systems – and they can both be done in one afternoon.
- Comment on Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds 3 months ago:
English is not my first language, so had to look “diatribes” up. “a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something”? That was not my intention, I’m trying to have a polite conversation, maybe I’m failing at it if that’s how it’s received!
