- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 days ago:
I agree that ads can help people be aware of a product’s existence, but I believe, especially at this stage when I am tired of being spoonfed, that a more organic way is preferable. For example - forums, product reviews (REAL ones ofc), product storefronts including online marketplaces…
When someone needs something, they can go looking for it. A door that grates on a frame for example, may be talked about on a forum, which discusses the products others have found to help. In this case a mouse(shaped) sander. The person can then follow breadcrumbs to the most convenient store that sells it.
This is actually the way I find most things I need. The vast majority of products shown to me, passively on various items in the streets or in video format, are useless to me. I first learned about VPNs when I looked for a solution to a website article having an error page stating that it cannot be viewed in my country.

Ah I understand now, I was a little slow to get that the “loan” is the $700 and it won’t be repaid for a while… Damn. Well I hope the next update is a positive one! YMMV but I’ve learned that harassing customer service often works, by chasing it up with another email every few days to however often you can handle it

This is a road that leads to a Book of Law that surpasses the lifespan of generations of people, but we have one and it’s partially broken 😔
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 4 days ago:
Here’s the thing. The reason ads are bad is because almost every single one is for a product that will exploit the user. Mullvad is a product that does the opposite. They ask for money, but don’t force it. They intend to give power of the user’s life back to the user. Thus, some ads are actually okay. Ads about VPNs, self hosted systems, anti-corporate anticapitalist services, software that is for you to use and only ever takes telemetry for software improvement, and then only if you consent first.
Hell, before this garbage, on TV the only ads were products and charities, and everybody grew really sick of the African child ads because its sole purpose was to exploit the viewer’s empathy and get their money. Same with now, except if it’s not money they want it’s data, and data is money to them.

Which god are we talking about? And which heaven! Definitely not Islamic, but one of the Hindu heavens? One of the Jewish ones maybe?

Being a hateful and harmful individual, damaging society - the correct society - is a choice and one you don’t have to make.

Did you choose to pay with installments for the laptop, is that why they’ll get money from you? For the privilege of not having the product…
- Comment on UK’s largest Jewish group punishes members who broke silence on Gaza genocide 1 week ago:
Except from that one time that one guy deemed that every demographic he disliked was damaging society by their existence and deserving of not only banishment, but horrific death.
Banishing and rejecting certain people must be accepted, in order to reduce the harm they cause. Genocide supporters, anti-BIPOC and anti-LGBTQIAA+ radicals, anti-women podcasters, tyrannical leaders of their local civilisations. Jail might work, but a complete reform of what is deemed criminal is also needed. The current English-speaking governments are not modern enough.

- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 2 weeks ago:
Probably a contract deal rather than individual leasing, and business deals often include bulk discounts

They really need to make all modes available at this stage rather than cycling out
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 2 weeks ago:
My last phone was the OnePlus 6T and they only accepted trade-ins for about five years. By the time I’m ready to trade it its value is so low that it’s barely worth the cost of sending it to a recycling centre
- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 2 weeks ago:
And the deluded fucks still charge more than US$250 for their half-a-console. It’s got good processing power and stellar shell construction, but charging the same price Xbox and PlayStation do for a handheld main with the same trash joysticks, tiny battery, stickers for the Joy-Con socket decal, plastic screen and 1080p display? In 2025?
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not even a race, it’s usually a community with a different culture, so the entire term is invalid. And humans are one species with no races, despite this we keep the divisions that the less educated from history created.

- Comment on Anon pitches a new game 3 weeks ago:
I’d bet on JRPG rank rules; D, C, B, A, A+, A++, S, S+ and as many S’ they bloody want in order to make S tier worthless. Instead of doing the sane thing and adjusting the criteria for a rank.
But in this case there is no D C or Bs, only As.

It’s expensive but I used Stardock on Windows. Specifically the bundle so I can use Fences and WindowFX. You can customise the hell out of Windows with their software, highly recommend. Free options do not come close.

I have notifications disabled by default, by that I mean the moment an app requests permission I deny it, unless it’s a messaging app or something I trust etc., and if it triggers more than three requests its off my phone.
- Comment on Humble Bundle have launched their 2025 Pride Month games bundle 5 weeks ago:
Remember, if you’re going to consume Pride merch, buy from places like Humble Bundle that actually put the money towards LGBTQ+ organisations. Paying a random conglomerate twice the normal price for an item, especially if you’re queer or an ally, makes little sense and only incentivises businesses to boost their profits from the queer and ally community.
