- Comment on How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it? 1 week ago:
Because killing a leader without a plan for who will replace them isn’t very efficient
And often leads to a worse leader seizing power out of the chaos and power vacuum that the assassination created.
- Comment on What is the deal with IPv6? 1 week ago:
Mobile carriers are mostly IPv6-only these days.
I was going to point that out as well.
Your phone is probably on an IP6 network right now.
And it will be NATted to an IP4 address when it leaves the carrier’s network to interact with the public internet.
- Comment on Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rules 2 weeks ago:
You’d be holding more than one person liable if you were holding people liable at all
Sounds good to me.
Having some corporate abstraction shield the people who make irresponsible or dangerous choices may be beneficial to thoae decision makers, but it is very much not good for society.
- Comment on Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rules 2 weeks ago:
because individuals can’t be held accountable
That’s just laziness. There are individuals who can be held accountable.
Starting with the executives who signed off on these things being put on the road in the first place.

The manufacturers definitely have a large share of the blame, but people still have the agency to make better choices.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 5 weeks ago:
Trump is nothing, he’s unimportant in the grand scheme of things
The USA isn’t the way it is because Trump is the president, Trump is president because of the way the USA is…

Even sadder that people keep falling for it.

there’s no reason why we can’t have pretty colours too
The reason is the bell curve of body shapes and the marketing departments in the mainstream companies desire to only target the very middle of the bell curve.

Sail the seas matey.
It has always been a better “customer experience” than being an actual customer.
- Comment on I care when it affects deez nutz... 5 months ago:
Let’s not let the failures of plastics distract from the reality that metals can be easily and affordably recycled (and have been since the days when every village had a blacksmith).
Paper and cardboard are also capable of being recycled in a reasonable manner using technology that has been around for over a century.
Same with glass (though shipping to a facility that does it often renders it cost prohibitive)

the machine is 99% boomers to begin with.
These people don’t look like boomers to me.
- Comment on Cloudflare is down [Dec 5] 5 months ago:
Without looking into this specific outage, I’d suggest things like deferred maintenance and “cost optimizing” technocal staffing are often contributing factors. (At least in my experience)
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 months ago:
I didn’t claim I had a hundred of them going at any give time.
And, regardless, I also don’t keep them open forever. I just close the one I’m finished with, check out the next one, then repeat until I’m through with them.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 months ago:
Why not just close them and open them back up later?
Because that’s extra steps for no actual improvement.
I close the tabs that I’m done with and add new ones when I want to not forget to look at something a bit later.
That doesn’t need the “permanence” of a bookmark. (And, obviously I know editing bookmarks is a thing, but that is also extra steps for something I’ll only want once in about 15 min from now)

Op’s post was a long and winding road. It’s hard to know what to react to.

When tying your shoelaces what images or dialogue you have in your head?
Uhhh none.
Is that a thing that happens for some people?

- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 9 months ago:
Dunno. My Corolla doesn’t have any features locked out that I am aware of. It certainly hasn’t tried to upset me any “uogrades”.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 9 months ago:
Is there a ful list anywhere of brands and models that lock non-network features behind a network connection requirement?
I’ve heard people complaining about some that don’t let you select HDMI input without first connecting to the internet and “activating” the TV, but the model is usually not specified in those complaints.

That must have been some special magic booze to get the old man so drunk he couldn’t recognize that he was fucking his own daughters, yet leave him capable of getting it up to do the deed…

- Comment on RIP America 10 months ago:
I still don’t understand their end goal. If everyone exept for them is poor and dying who are they going to sell their stuff to?
I’m increasingly believing that they don’t actually care about anyone other then themselves.
Their only goals are self-serving greed.
And the methods they intend to use to serve that narrow goal are extremely short sighted and lacking any peripheral vision.
- Comment on RIP America 10 months ago:
Make no mistake, this administration wants to see people die.
They want to see people suffer before they die.

Of course, it always is.
But a lot of this type of enshittification can be difficult to learn about without getting your hands on thw product first. Especially if it’s a new model.
