This dude must have a Reese’s mug stashed somewhere.
- Comment on UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion] 3 days ago:
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 3 days ago:
Steam OS really needs a simple to use installer with the option to automatically add a partition to an existing Windows PC. Even if you don’t dual boot, it would encourage more people to try it and wean themselves off of Windows.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 4 days ago:
Unsweetened tea is a thing. Sugar free iced tea is a thing. Herbal iced tea is a thing.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 5 days ago:
Maybe now the UK will catch on to iced tea? Free refills!
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 6 days ago:
That explains the recent price increase. Like the TV streamers, they know they make more money from ad revenue than subscriptions. So, they want to funnel users to the “free” tier.
- Comment on Meta's Threads inches closer to X with new Communities feature 1 week ago:
An article about two competing products I will never use. 🤷♂️
- Comment on US gov shutdown leaves IT projects hanging, security defenders a skeleton crew 1 week ago:
Oh well. Not sure I trust any “modernization” efforts under this administration.
- Comment on Trekmovie.com: Scott Bakula-Led ‘Star Trek: United’ Pitch Explores Archer’s Family, Romulan War Aftermath 1 week ago:
Star Trek is under new ownership — it’ll be interesting to see if they hire a new show runner/producer going forward.
- Comment on Amazon launches Vega OS, its Android replacement for Fire TV with no sideloading 1 week ago:
The are a lot of TVs that work fine if you never set up their internet connection. Roku is one of them.
- Comment on ‘Mine, Baby, Mine’: Trump Officials Offer $625 Million to Rescue Coal 1 week ago:
What a waste of money. Those millions would pay for a lot of solar, wind, and battery power.
- Comment on Yes, Apple. This is exactly what I wanted *facepalm* 1 week ago:
Tahoe is still a wreck.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 2 weeks ago:
Some people like it. Some people hate it. You’re going to have to make that determination for yourself. You’ll know by the time you get to season two which camp youre in
Personally I found the cast wasted on poor writing. And as someone else mentioned, the show concentrates entirely too much on Burnham. Half of the bridge crew you probably won’t know their names by the end of season one. There were a couple of bright spots — Saru’s backstory and character were well done.
- Comment on UK officially rolls out digital ID scheme, to combat illegal migrants working. 2 weeks ago:
This won’t stop immigrant employment. It just means they’ll be paid in cash under the table.
Will UK be requiring an ID to get medical care? That might make a dent there, but it’s a mixed bag because people who don’t get care spread illness. Especially bad during pandemics.
- Comment on Intel Is Seeking an Investment From Apple as Part of Its Comeback Bid 2 weeks ago:
Why would Apple invest intel? Apple makes their own CPUs and modems now.
- Comment on Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night 2 weeks ago:
You can write the FCC and ask them to pull your local affiliate’s license for not serving the public interest. Each broadcast TV channel has to renew their license every few years.
- Comment on The Hepatitis B Vaccine Is Under Threat. Here’s What to Know. | A vaccine committee will today vote on the shot, which all infants have received since 1991. 3 weeks ago:
How long does this vaccine last? Is the immunity for life, or do you have to get boosters as you age?
- Comment on A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning them 3 weeks ago:
That’s called stealing. And that book they claim to have read says that’s a no no.
Also your library will just buy more copies. Which means your taxes will go up to pay for the missing books.
- Comment on Gates McFadden Talks Ghost Candle Orgasms And Jean-Luc/Beverly Relationship Status After ‘Star Trek: Picard’ 3 weeks ago:
This was a fun interview. Thanks for posting it!
- Comment on Interview: Naveen Andrews On Montalban’s Legacy And Humanizing A Supervillain In ‘Star Trek: Khan’ 3 weeks ago:
Now there’s someone who would’ve made a good Khan in “Into Darkness”.
- Comment on The Internet Will Be More Dead Than Alive Within 3 Years, Trend Shows 4 weeks ago:
Popular Mechanics is like tech coverage from “Weekly World News”.
- Comment on Ed Miliband accused of subsidising ‘wasteful and dangerous’ electric SUVs 4 weeks ago:
Meh. EVs come in all shapes and sizes, just like petrol vehicles. I’d hardly call an ID.2 or a mini cooper EV “giant”.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On “Very Cool” ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Credit Sequence And “Relevant” 32nd Century 5 weeks ago:
Someone on YouTube reversed the colors used on the Discovery intro and it looked so much better.

- Comment on 6 AM Monday. Dreading whatever fresh hell awaits this week. Cranky, definitely getting a cold. Barely awake. Husband starts blasting this song that is now stuck in my head for all eternity. 1 month ago:
I swear, the people behind that show really out love and care into it and it shows. The casting and art direction was superb, and finding Rockapella put it over the top.
- Comment on iCloud private relay 1 month ago:
Not much to describe. I’m on iOS 18.6.2 using Mlem app. While private relay is on, opening the app results in a blank screen. Can’t even do a refresh. No content loads. Safari and other apps on the same device work fine. Turning off private relay fixes the problem.
I will edit this post with the IP range being used.

- Comment on Horrible kerning 1 month ago:
It looks like a font substitution issue. You don’t have the type face installed that was originally used to create this PDF. And the font was not embedded in the PDF. So whatever you’re using to view, the PDF is utilizing something like Aerial or Helvetica as a stand in sans serif type face.
- Comment on UK's third-largest steelworks collapses into government control 1 month ago:
How do you fuck up steel? Something every country needs for infrastructure and construction.
- Comment on Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty 1 month ago:
I wonder if Microsoft would say the same thing to China?
