By an author who is also crazy and problematic, though in a very different way than Rowling.
- Comment on Microsoft finally solve the Linux dual-boot issue after 9 months 1 week ago:
Grub did not detect your VM, it detected a bootable operating system on the drive because you passed it through to your VM
Yeah, the bootable drive that contained my VM install, that’s what I’m saying.
But i prefer using a raw disk file image
I started that way, but I had a disk with a single partition that contained a single file - the raw disk image file, and eventually decided this is silly, the filesystem on that disk is useless.
- Comment on Microsoft finally solve the Linux dual-boot issue after 9 months 1 week ago:
I did that, and since I got a dedicated SSD drive for it, I used it for the VM as a block device. Later after a GRUB update I discovered Windows in my GRUB boot menu. Turns out GRUB detected my VM, and now I can physically boot into my VM. Which I didn’t even know was possible.
So yeah, I accidentally dual boot Windows without meaning to, even though it’s a VM. Except when I boot into it, then it’s not, apparently.

- Comment on How I view others in social media 1 week ago:
I have no idea. Guess people like getting thumbs up.
- Comment on How I view others in social media 1 week ago:
I saw a top comment on a music video on YouTube with “Anyone watching on specifically today’s date”. Tons of engagement because of course everyone is watching today.
Dude just had a script setup to edit the comment every day, so for years it always asked about today’s date.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 5 weeks ago:
You don’t have to trust the security checks, but they had to submit their personal information and documents to Uber, and would be easy to find if they did anything. That’s much better than an anonymous stranger, and I doubt a predator would go through all that instead of just, you know, remaining an anonymous person on the street.
- Comment on Limited edition orange juice mint condition looking for trade 1 month ago:
Yeah I can see blocking text, but you are saying the new images are possibly to avoiding blocks. Which would require some image comparison / computer vision based detection, which I would be interested to read about if it existed.
- Comment on Limited edition orange juice mint condition looking for trade 1 month ago:
Do you have any source for any automatic blocks being implemented by anyone?
- Comment on Russian sensors trying to track nuclear submarines in UK waters found in a campaign of ‘greyzone’ warfare that also targets Britain's energy and internet. Even oligarchs’ superyachts are in on it. 1 month ago:
No, where did I do that? I said it’s not unreasonable that a politician has a journalist in their contact list. For example because a journalist tried to contact them, hence adding themselves to their conversation list.

- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 1 month ago:
Because “crypto bros” care about making money, not any ideology, except in a performative sense. If you pitched the fediverse to the original researchers inventing cryptocurrency and the early adopters, they would likely be receptive. But these are no longer associated with the current crypto crowd.

Except building the concrete structure is the easiest and fastest part of building a house anyway. Not that concrete printing is not helpful, it is, but with a task that’s a minor part of building a house anyway.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more “enabled” than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn’t make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I’d like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I’d like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
It would be ridiculous to pretend so. Giving money to trans-supportive games absolutely does though.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn’t involved in making it, it probably doesn’t bother many people.
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 2 months ago:
I mean, one would hope that whenever there is a new version it’s more secure than the last one. Not that it’s true, but that’s how it should be, so bugging weird about the claim.
- Comment on Anon uses Discord 2 months ago:
I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It’s only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.
- Comment on Waking up an hour before you intend to 2 months ago:
I find I will sometimes stop the alarm instead of snoozing it while half-asleep. I need to alarm to ring again for these cases, even if rare.

- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 2 months ago:
And programmers retain complete control of the output - it’s just a bit of text that you can adapt as needed. Same as looking up snippets from Stack Overflow. Programmers are used to finding some snippet, checking if it actually works, and then adapting it to the rest of their code, so if doesn’t feel like introducing media that you didn’t create, but like a faster version if what everyone was already doing.

And that’s a much better answer!

“Because it would require changes” doesn’t answer OPs question. They want to know why wasn’t it done like this in the first place, and why aren’t we making the changes to make it happen now. Of course changing things would require changes.

/usr/share? How is a random app getting write permissions to that?
- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 3 months ago:
Many great games wouldn’t be released without the current system giving them a chance. Shovelware is a problem, but I think it’s a fairer alternative.
