- Comment on What if Android didn't exist? (Or Google decided to develop a closed source OS?) What would this alt-timeline's privacy smartphone OSes looked like? (Since Android Forks wouldn't exist.) 1 day ago:
And taking that a step further, I believe it was Blackberry that was proliferating the free text messages thing at the time (so long as it was to another Blackberry) so that could even have led to not enough market room for third-parties like WhatsApp and Kik to dominate the way they did.

And often acts like a bunch of 3-year-olds.
- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 2 weeks ago:
Check your local council estate.
- Comment on The Last of Us Part III: Joel of the Dead 3 weeks ago:
Still sounds like more fan-forward than what ND thought was a good idea for Part II.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game [404 Media] 4 weeks ago:
This is why we don’t support games with malware in them.

The bar was on the floor already but they still felt the need to bring a shovel.

Not to mention determine which watch list you’d get put on.

ActiBlizzard is a lootbox.
- Comment on After Years of Struggle, Blizzard Has Found Itself in Uncharted Territory: Overwatch Players Are Having Fun Again 1 month ago:
Can’t say I know either. It’s definitely tongue-in-cheek and I don’t believe ActiBlizzard has managed to make their game fun on purpose for a second. That said, patching out the fun would imply they know what they’re doing when I’m unconvinced they’re good enough at game to purposely make a game tedious.

Must have been an accident. Next patch will get right on fixing that
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 month ago:
Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 month ago:
Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced “Sigh-Oh-Ban”. Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn’t Irish and I’ll eternally argue there’s no shame in getting one wrong.
- Comment on Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country? 1 month ago:
Things have changed a lot since those days. The recruiter part is still decently accurate but the hoops to jump through are far more plentiful and costly these days, if they’re even open in the first place.

Ironically, that would be treason.
- Comment on What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 140sqft condo? Sub $500 2 months ago:
Shark is an American brand
I don’t get this. Are we boycotting American products now?
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Let’s put it this way, the market price for the Switch 2 is roughly the same converted price in the UK. Now, to my knowledge, the UK hasn’t also introduced these tariffs quietly so I can’t, in good conscience, blame ol’ Delusional Donald for this one.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 2 months ago:
Because they’re delusional enough to think if they cater to the audiences of other sites they’ll tempt that audience to scrape off to their site instead of the site that came up with the thing and do it better.
- Comment on How to get rid of Whatsapp? 2 months ago:
Install something like GBWhatsapp. Whatsapp seems to do ban waves every now and again so there’s no guarantee on the time frame you’ll get banned (it took about 4 years for them to catch up with me) but it’ll more than likely happen eventually.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 months ago:
I don’t think this is what Einstein had in mind when he spoke of relativity.

Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
People with far too much time on their hands, a desire to label everything and a tendency toward negativity. My personal gripe lately is weaponised psychoanalysis terms.

What’s your next fishing attempt going to be? Calling me chicken?
- Comment on Is this working? 2 months ago:
Why would I do such a thing when you’ve done a thorough job of proving you’re the sort of person none of us want in there?
- Comment on Is this working? 2 months ago:
Not true, they’re just usually private servers specifically to keep the annoying children out.

- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 2 months ago:
It’s a bold assumption that parts would even be available to buy.
- Comment on Has modern technology made espionage easier or more difficult? 2 months ago:
I know it’s made it harder for me to get into my own accounts.

Precisely

You think he’d make it double illegal?
- Comment on Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved? 2 months ago:
It’s not that they aren’t an example, but a bad example. Even as a fan of isekai and someone who doesn’t mind the trope, I know how much hate Gary Stus get. Mention Kirito to anyone other than an unapologetic SAO lover and watch them convulse.
