- Comment on Chat Control 2.0: what if Signal supports user-made Add-ons, one which encrypts all messages? Could that circumvent Chat Control 2.0? 2 days ago:
There’s no such thing as a technological solution to a legal problem.
- Comment on Why can't we have a static vintage web? 5 days ago:
Because people who make websites want to get paid for them, payment is based on showing ads, ad companies want to maximize tracking via javascript, and if the only javascript is for ad bullshit it’s easy to block it so they force the content to load via javascript too.
It’s systemically fucked up in a way that goes beyond just the technology itself.

Crepe murder
- Comment on They're coming. 1 week ago:
I’ve seen them very rarely in metro Atlanta.
Which means they’ve reached Hartsfield International Airport, and we’re all screwed.
- Comment on Mozilla Integrates Google Lens for Visual Search in Firefox Desktop 1 week ago:
It used to be Mozilla would try to engineer their own open source and privacy-respecting alternative for web infrastructure stuff like this.

- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 week ago:
Watch Lower Decks. Not because it is itself part of that 10% – it’s the best new Trek there is! – but because it talks more about it. Technobabble, giant Spock, lizards, it’s all there. Even random toy tie-in schlock:
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 2 weeks ago:
Mozilla sucks and its management needs to be replaced, but Firefox (or a fork of it) is still the least-bad option.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 weeks ago:
I disagree with people who think others should not be killed for their opinions
And yet you’re white-knighting for Kirk, who thought exactly that. Curious.

Cry some more, troll
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 weeks ago:
You are absolutely a psychopath for supporting monsters like Kirk.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 weeks ago:
Are there any cancers that were found to be "caused by smoking before 2003?
Of those, are there any that have subsequently also been found to be “caused by” vaping (such as the tobacco-related ones)?
If so, then it means vaping is indeed a cause (as opposed to the singular cause) of those cancers even though they were around before vaping was invented.
That’s why this meme is bad.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 weeks ago:
No, the post is claiming that because Tylenol was discovered after autism, it can’t be a cause of it. That’s flawed logic: it’s true that autism must also have some other cause, but it’s very possible in principle for things to have multiple causes, so the timeline argument proves nothing.
That’s not to say that Dipshit McBrainworm’s claim has any sort of merit whatsoever, mind you. It’s just that this argument is defective.

This could’ve won an IgNobel if it were real.

Well, yeah. On the moon, he was an alien.
- Comment on The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners 2 weeks ago:
The study that won the nutrition prize was clearly just an excuse to go on a protracted vacation to a “seaside resort in Togo.”

Not sure about the “almost every” part since the vast majority of animals are invertebrates, but otherwise yes.

Yes they are!
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 weeks ago:
I guess that’s what Gibson meant about the future not being evenly distributed. As also a millennial (and an older one, at that) I got all my porn from the Internet when I was that age, albeit having to wait for individual images to load at 56kbps at first.
You can imagine how excited I was for my household to get DSL, LOL!
- Comment on Google sucks 4 weeks ago:
Facebook marketplace
The real !mildlyinfuriating is always in the comments. I’m damn near locked out of the used market these days because I refuse to use motherfucking Facebook.
- Comment on Nick Clegg and Tim Berners-Lee: the battle for the soul of the internet 4 weeks ago:
Tim Berners-Lee already sold the soul of the Internet when he approved web DRM.
This is just two twats arguing; neither deserves our trust!
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 4 weeks ago:
You must be an electrical engineer or something, since you’re apparently so used to thinking about flows backwards.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 4 weeks ago:
They should display all your accounts as a word cloud and have you draw a line (directional arrow) from the source to the destination. Yes, using your finger (on a touchscreen) or the mouse.

- Comment on redwoods 5 weeks ago:
The problem with the fires lately isnt that they’re happening, it’s that they’re happening too frequently.
I thought the problem was that they weren’t happening frequently enough, allowing too much undergrowth to build up and make them worse than they’re supposed to be?
(But I’m not from California, so you probably know better.)
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
It really doesn’t, though. Unless the company running the website has a presence within the EU – which means it ceases to count as “outside” – there’s fuck-all the EU can do to enforce it.

I’m suddenly wondering if horny multiplayer games for couples is already a thing, or if it’s an untapped market.
