- Comment on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer 16 minutes ago:
I dunno I kinda miss this version of Microsoft. They were still shitty and evil, but at least they were trying to be memorable and they were genuinely trying to sell you a computer to do whatever you wanted to do with it.
In the years that followed we started getting buggier, slower software, DRM, forced cloud migration, and AI scanning of everything on our machines and in our messages.

- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 2 days ago:
Yea, TVs are all “Smart” now. But they don’t have any truly new or useful features, they just record your conversations and transmit occurrences of keywords as “usage and diagnostic” data. I guess now they can use wifi to do occupancy scans of your house too, so that’s fun. Oh and they use Bluetooth to scan for nearby devices that are willing to cooperate in case you don’t put them on the LAN and they transmit that way.
Anyway, TNG has left Netflix. Can you fucking believe it?

if it HAS to be -dp and you can’t also use -pd then it is implemented incorrectly.
Dunno why you’d ever do -pd, considering, but still

If it’s good enough for weed at the federal level I guess it’s also good enough for cash.
- Comment on What is the deal with IPv6? 6 days ago:
IPv6 has the same level of security as IPv4.
If you mean to say that IPv4 NAT provides security, well please never work on any networks that I need to use.

Or maybe we could like, shorten the big addresses and not need to remember the parts we’re not using yet

They’re not traced because they used to be illegal and they shouldn’t ever be taxed because they should be made illegal again.

The system should take more of a cut, if that’s the argument we are going with.
Also? A new realization event should be defined: collateralization. When you take out loans against the value of your stock/bond/whatever holdings, you are realizing gains from those assets - you wouldn’t have gotten the line of credit otherwise.
People argue that this would prevent homeowners for taking equity lines of credit for improvements but that’s easily remedied by the collateral not being a real asset.

- Comment on Anon went to a birthday party 1 week ago:
You often needed to switch memory card to change between games, depending which card your save was on, and people would certainly not turn the console off to do that, nor does the GameCube manual say you should.
You didn’t need to turn the console off to change games? In a disc based system? Wut?

- Comment on Boomer comics 2 weeks ago:
The Democrats really are just republicans trying to “placate the Mr Rogers generations”.
Both parties are filled with ruthless “empathy is weak, every man for himself” assholes. They must be kept as far away from politics as possible.

We could have turned out and stopped the boomers but we continued to let them out us down and, eventually, rig it against us.
Hanging chads!
- Comment on Boomer comics 2 weeks ago:
I always thought this was a weird take. Like yeah I get being a parent is hard and with the world today it’s just not financially fair to a kid for most people to try.
But dude, kids are hilarious and fun m, if you know the right ones.
What this is, is the cascading effect of fewer not-shitty people (or decent people in shitty situations) having kids. Then, everyone sees this maladjusted children and even fewer people want to give it a go.
I mean it’s not anyone’s choice but theirs if they want to have em or even like em. But ironically it’s almost like accelerationism when we all collectively swear off trying.
