- Comment on Google is Destroying Android 1 week ago:
You’re missing out, Samtime does some funny parodies
- Comment on Met Police chief gives phone firms deadline over thefts 1 week ago:
The force wants to make resetting phones more difficult, with requirements for multi-factor authentication and time delays; moves to stop parts being sold without device matching serial numbers, and the ability to block devices globally in real time.
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said there is “no reason” why in a year’s time there should not be fully accessible serial numbers for officials and “kill switches” for stolen phones
And there it is, just another excuse to track everyone and further erode right to repair. But don’t worry, this time it’s for your own personal safety and definitely won’t be abused.
Nevermind the fact that iPhones already do all of this despite being explicitly called out in the article
- Comment on Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be Next 2 weeks ago:
You’re not overlooking anything. You hit the nail on the head, these laws are about surveillance and censorship and that’s why they’re being implemented in the worst and least privacy respecting way possible. The next step is to make sure it’s impossible to circumvent by enforcing locked bootloaders and secure boot. Phones are 90% of the way there already and it probably wouldn’t be too hard for them to fuck up the desktop/laptop side of things either.

- Comment on NHS hip and knee operations threatened by bone cement supply shortage 4 weeks ago:
Its not it was just a joke because of all the recent shortages actually caused by datacenters

Somehow the last few years have failed to meet even my low low expectations
- Comment on UK government targets VPNs in new online safety consultation as Lords vote for ban 1 month ago:
Isn’t this part of the same amendment that will make government spyware mandatory on all devices? So does that mean that part passed as well?
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 1 month ago:
You could probably get round this by creating a VM and passing this disk through as the only storage. Do the Windows install in the VM and then delete the VM and boot directly to the disk.
- Comment on More than 60 Labour MPs urge Starmer to back under-16s social media ban 1 month ago:

Its probably best for everyone if the UK government remains ignorant of the existence of Mastodon
- Comment on Rockstar vs. Union: What Really Happened at Court? | People Make Games 2 months ago:
Tl:dw for anyone who isn’t in a position to watch the video, the evidence provided by Rockstar is a complete joke as expected, but apparently that wasn’t enough to convince the judge to grant interim relief. I highly recommend watching the whole video if you get the chance though, PMG have been doing a very good job of covering this topic so far.

Nah it really has got worse. It like when you get ill and it starts off with a mild sore throat and you feel like shit, then 2 days later you’re sneezing and coughing your guts out and wishing you could go back to when it was just a mild sore throat

What movie is it?
- Comment on When THIS happened it was so annoying 2 months ago:
Companies back then: Here is a piece of physical media to purchase. It’s yours until you break it or lose it.
Companies a few years ago: Fuck you. We know you purchased this digital media with your hard earned money but due to licensing bullshit we no longer own the rights to it. If you look at page 3462 of the EULA that you definitely read and explicitly agreed to you’ll see we reserve the right to take it back from you at any time, which we are now doing.
Companies now: Lol you actually want to purchase stuff you fucking dumbass? Pay us a subscription for all eternity and if you’re lucky you may temporarily have access to what you want
