- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 1 hour ago:
Controversial opinion: maybe it’s a good thing to allow law enforcement to access communications when necessary (e.g. with a court warrant)
Do we want serious criminals like terrorists and paedophiles to be able to plan their crimes with impunity?
- Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision 2 hours ago:
I expect they’ll create about five spin-off TV series, all shown on Amazon Prime
- Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision 2 hours ago:
Apparently he doesn’t want to do it because “those that weren’t happy about the idea made the whole thing disgusting and off-putting, because it became about race”.

- Comment on Experts urge caution over use of Chinese AI DeepSeek 2 weeks ago:
Testing the limits of a chatbot isn’t soy. More soy than that is being obsequious to China, and it seems that’s what you’re doing
- Comment on Experts urge caution over use of Chinese AI DeepSeek 2 weeks ago:
Actually I find it funny, both the chatbot’s response, and your pathetic seethe about it
- Comment on Experts urge caution over use of Chinese AI DeepSeek 3 weeks ago:
How is that edgy then? I would say it’s a valid question to ask the chatbot. With any chatbot it’s interesting to see what its limits are, and what sorts of questions it won’t answer.

- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 3 weeks ago:
Good points to be honest.
- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that makes sense. But on the other hand, jailing people for life costs money and there’s the slim chance they can escape. But I suppose if you have good security then a full life sentence would be an effective deterrent, so maybe you wouldn’t have to pay for very many people to have such long sentences, so it might not cost so much.
- Comment on Hair loss drug finasteride 'biggest mistake of my life' 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure, but the UK’s National Health Service mentions depression as a potential side effect.
Drugs can have all sorts of side effects through mechanisms that we might not fully understand (maybe scientists do understand this particular mechanism though, I don’t know).

- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 4 weeks ago:
I guess I’m being downvoted due to just mentioning the death penalty. The only reason I asked is because callers on LBC (radio) were mentioning the death penalty so I wondered what people on Lemmy would think.
- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 4 weeks ago:
Do you guys on here think this is an acceptable sentence, or do you think Britain should have the death penalty for cases like this?
- Comment on Anon's PC works 1 month ago:
True. For my next phone I’m looking at how long security updates are promised for, so I can get something with long-term support.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
Male loneliness has probably always been a thing. Lonely men were expected to work difficult jobs, or fight in wars for kings, or just kill themselves.
Some women would have experienced similar issues, along with probably greater rates of sexual abuse, etc.
I think there have always been quite a few people with shit lives throughout history; it’s just that society doesn’t want to acknowledge these people. People who are doing fine in life want to pretend that life is fair, when actually it isn’t.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 1 month ago:
For me the most important reason to upgrade things is security updates. E.g. if you have an old smartphone it might not get security updates anymore.
Some people don’t seem to care, but I get paranoid about hackers breaking into my phone in some way.
- Comment on Study finds young people more likely to spend Christmas alone 1 month ago:
I guess it’s because many young adults move far away from home to get jobs in cities.
In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 2 months ago:
I miss Maplin, I still use stuff I bought from there
