- Comment on These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too. 6 months ago:
Yeah that’s horrible. I have a strict policy of turning off any notification that is not a direct message from a person to me or a reminder I set myself. If crap gets bundled like this, I turn it off altogether.
When I used Tinder, I just checked the app every now and then and I remember people unmatching me again because I didn’t reply quickly enough. Online dating is so fucking toxic.
- Comment on Is there a way to read all of Trump's Truth Social posts without actually visiting the site? 6 months ago:
It will inflate numbers for the investors though and might get this shit funded in the future. So, better not give them even the traffic if you can avoid it.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like any web browsers 7 months ago:
Yeah they’re also aware that it’s not good right now and actively improve it.
- Comment on Yes, you cannot, so to do it do like this 7 months ago:
I wish google was stricter with this SEO spam. I know it’s not easy to detect but if they do they should definitely blacklist sites just like servers can get blacklisted for sending email spam.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Man that scuba diver incident was also the turning point for me. Before that I actually thought he was involved in a lot of cool stuff and probably a positive influence but I also didn’t pay all that much attention to him.
- Comment on My phone's dictionary thinks the word "expanse" only exists as a show title 11 months ago:
Even more baffling, lots of keyboards don’t support this for German that has a bunch of compound words. Swiftkey (at least in the past) even split up compound words is German, thereby messing up correct grammar and replacing it with wrong grammar. It was infuriating.
- Comment on Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that? 1 year ago:
It’s a terrible tale of oppression if you read between the blocks.
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 1 year ago:
No friends there either.
Well to be fair I’m still enjoying Mastodon a lot and Pixelfed too (which is the better Instagram replacement) but pretty much everyone I follow is somebody I don’t know in real life. Instagram is great to see what your extended circle of friends is doing.
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 1 year ago:
Eh, I‘d do it if it meant the services respected privacy and actually put the users first.
Paying for what these big services currently are? Hell no.
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 1 year ago:
I wasn’t looking into paying for it. This popped up upon opening the app.

- Comment on Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9? 1 year ago:
But adding previously unseen stuff would be changing/redirecting the movie/show.
You could see this with The Wire 16:9 remake. They rescanned the original negatives that were shot in 16:9 but framed and cropped to 4:3. As a result the framing felt a bit off and the whole thing felt a bit awkward / amateurish.
- Comment on Well, fuck you too. 1 year ago:
Adding to that: Compliance is not even that hard to implement. I build almost all of my websites with GDPR compliance in mind and it’s not really a big deal. There are easy to use tools like Cookie Consent and some of the sites don’t even need a banner at all if they have no tracking (which you know, is completely possible too).
- Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website 1 year ago:
The real mildlyinfuriating part is that they probably got inspired by Arc, a relatively new browser. They already copied how their window splitting works.
Pretty crappy for MS not to have good designers themselves and then copy (often poorly) what one of the small players is doing.
- Comment on What is the secret to a happy social-media experience? 1 year ago:
In general phone notifications should only be people directly contacting you and stuff like reminders. No group chats (except mentions), social media, games or any crap like that.
I’m baffled how many notifications people leave on and then they don’t see important stuff or get stressed out by their phone.
- Comment on What does fedddit mean? 1 year ago:
This is incorrect but I like it more
- Comment on The Youtube like animation leaves behind a single white pixel above the count 1 year ago:
I don’t think this happens in every browser. I just tried it in Brave on Windows and it doesn’t happen there.
The screen capture in this post was taken in Arc on macOS.

- Comment on Capitalism indoctrination in progress. 1 year ago:
Almost all of these applied to the last job I left, so I guess it’s pretty spot on.
- Comment on YouTube recomending shorts to premium 1 year ago:
Already running Plex, though to be fair - it’s not like they can escape enshittifaction either. I will probably switch over to jellyfin at some point.
- Comment on YouTube recomending shorts to premium 1 year ago:
This reminded me that I’m paying for Youtube Premium and yet the platform is incredibly user-hostile even to paying customers. Fuck them.
- Comment on Does a cat ever wonder why humans feed them? 1 year ago:
To support your theory: Wild cats don’t meow when they’re grown up. They usually only do this as kittens. When they grow up around humans they keep this trait to communicate with humans. So yeah, we’re like moms or something to them.
- Comment on Umm I think I'll just delete you instead 1 year ago:
It’s not. The founder is russian and created vKontakte but basically had it taken away from him by Putin. He’s outspoken against the regime and just because he’s born in Russia shouldn’t mean he should be seen as part of that crappy government.
- Comment on Umm I think I'll just delete you instead 1 year ago:
People might argue you could just use Discord if you want bots but Discord is so bloated an sluggish in comparison to Telegram’s minimalist native clients for every OS (even Linux).
