- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 1 day ago:
Set up a code to yourself, easily remembered, and don’t share it with anyone. Then include it secretly in communications to yourself. If you don’t remember sending it, but it has your code, you can trust it.
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 1 day ago:
It should be an illegal clause
- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 3 days ago:
I’m just a really bad liar generally, so there’s no point trying. Also lies have short legs.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
That is indeed the point :)
- Comment on What is "human husbandry" called 4 days ago:
Slavery? Childcare?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
It’s very clearly a satire of its time and place, rather than an actual prediction of the future, culture not having progressed at all, despite more advanced tech existing. It seems weird to single out professions existing as the example rather than all the other examples - American capitalism is present in all of it, and criticised in several places
- Comment on Spain is blocking unrelated internet addresses because of soccer 1 week ago:
People shouldn’t use Cloudflare for everything anyway, it unnecessarily centralises the internet and blocks Tor and VPNs

- Comment on Age Verification Lobby Pushes For Age Verification Checks For VPN Use 2 weeks ago:
Of course they do. But the VPNs people use to bypass the law will just ignore the law anyway, especially ones such as Tor.
- Comment on Why is the abusive parent always portrayed as being the father, why is the mother never portrayed as abusive? 2 weeks ago:
Have you ever heard of Marisa Coulter from His Dark Materials? Just to add to all the other examples people have given
- Comment on 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 2 weeks ago:
Science works best when information is not restricted.
- Comment on BBC apologises to xenophobic Jendrick, because it accidentally broadcast the truth 2 weeks ago:
Lord Dubs, who came to the UK from Prague, said: “I think anything that encourages hostility and is undermining mutual respect, undermining compassion, is xenophobic in its intent and xenophobic in its consequences. And that’s not the sort of thing we would expect a senior politician in the Tory party to be talking about.
It’s exactly what I’d expect them to talk about. I don’t know why you’d have high expectations of Conservatives.
- Comment on Russia restricts calls via WhatsApp and Telegram, the latest step to control the internet 2 weeks ago:
This is coming to Europe soon if people don’t get their act together against the Online ‘Safety’ Act and its copies. A temporary workaround could be installing GrapheneOS on your Pixel phone in Russia, and using Tor and Signal in the meantime to access the internet, however.

Someone just as bad would have replaced him. The problem isn’t him specifically, it’s all the people who voted for him.

- Comment on Alpha males 2 weeks ago:
There are not only two personalities
both men and women
There are also not only two genders

- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 2 weeks ago:
If you hate Teslas that much, why do you own one?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Well, it is true.
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
That is certainly an interesting hypothetical hypothesis, if you can think of any way to falsify it (I can’t), I’m all ears!
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
I think someone trapped inside a singularity would be too dense to say anything :)
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
I know there is no singularity at the center of our observable universe as we are at the center of our observable universe and the Earth has not been destroyed by a singularity.
- Comment on stupid sexy apples 3 weeks ago:
Prime wherever you are that’s not the UK defaultism to assume that honeybees are not native pollinators.
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
I heard it more like, the fact that our universe is expanding faster than light, means there are parts of the universe we can never reach, even at light speed, which is mathematically identical to the event horizon of a black hole, which not even light can escape from. There’s not a singularity at the center on our observable universe, though.

Why would you assume it’s neurotypical specific? I’m neurodivergent and I like generating AI videos and images, as it allows me to visualise stuff that was in my mind.
- Comment on Will Chat Control affect P2P apps such as Briar? 4 weeks ago:
They just won’t comply. These FOSS services never have to worry about the law anyway - there are literal piracy sites, lol
- Comment on Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data? 4 weeks ago:
You can’t steal data, just illegally copy it. So no LLM is trained on stolen data.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
No. You’re old enough to know what you want and make your own decisions. Besides, it’s more to do with maturity and less to do with age anyway - different people mature at different rates and ages. Do you feel mature enough to make that decision? You know yourself best.
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 4 weeks ago:
I switched my grandma to Fedora and she’s been able to use it without issue once I got it set up for her. She only really needs a browser and word processor anyway.
