Who said that?
The strawman.
- Comment on US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives 1 week ago:
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 US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives 1 week ago:
Also the lack of salt pillars
- Comment on RIP America 1 week ago:
Canada has also been increasingly welcoming American expat academics and medical professionals.
- Comment on RIP America 1 week 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 1 week ago:
Make no mistake, this administration wants to see people die.
They want to see people suffer before they die.
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 1 month ago:
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.

the CRA website? I’ve been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.
Same here.
Maybe they’ve got some privacy plug-ins that are preventing the CRA website from functioning properly?
In the past, I have had to add my bank and some government websites to my whitelist

The problem is, you don’t always know thwy will do this until after you pay your money for them.
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 2 months ago:

- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 months ago:
Google scans YouTube videos for information about what products appear in them
Yes, but not specifically looking for products. They’re scanning to try to learn everything about the video with the goal of better matching suggestions to the interests (as determined by watch history) of viewers.
The intention is (as always) to increase viewer session time because the more time viewers spend on the platform, the more ads they see and ultimately the more money YouTube makes.
Of course, that scanning and view history can also be used to target ads with the goal of increasing ad click-thru and conversion (ultimately also driving the profit goal)

- Comment on Elon Musk and Wikipedia are feuding 4 months ago:
Not to give them ideas but couldn’t he just fund his own fake Wikipedia clone?

As a european working in the weapon industry, I love reading american people thinking we make no weapons or the weapons we make are worse.
American exceptionalism has been a major feature of the Americans self image for many generations.
It’s really tiring living beside them and having to hear them constantly blathering about it.

- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 5 months ago:

All of them in the UK.

first they tried to argue the contract shouldn’t have been written that way so I still had to pay.
“So what? You’re the ones who wrote the contract. It’s your fuckup, you pay for that not me…”

Except some models won’t let you do anything until you “activate” your smart TV, which requires an internet connection.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Thw 100k word part is released.
The coherent story part is not possible with today’s LLMs, even with a much smaller word count.
Hell, lots of human writers fail at making their stories coherent.
- Comment on If I wanted to make and distribute videos without profit motivate, but also with no or minimum expensive, what would be the best platform? 6 months ago:

Any platform that proclaims itself to be a censorship free zone is going to attract nazis and other undesirables.
