Another one: An old metal USB stick that stayed on my key chain for 15 years. It went through the washing machine at least once.
It still works, though it is dead slow.
- Comment on Some things just refuse to die 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had one Jansport bag for 18 years, all the way through secondary (high) school, university and many years of work.
I use it for food shopping, travelling etc.
It’s only now starting to form holes, in the last couple of years.

- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 4 weeks ago:
Well, I’m not an expert in this stuff, but here’s a couple of starting points
- This bill amendment that was submitted, but thankfully didn’t pass
- The Cass Report, a review of the science of trans studies the government bases many of its decisions on has been widely criticised by the international community. It was also found they tried to deliberately ban any subject experts from weighing in on the report during its construction.
- The EHRC and other government bodies frequently consult trans hate groups while preventing any trans person from weighing in on decisions about them
- Last year, the UK government banned the use of puberty blockers for adolescents, saying there is an unacceptable health risk to them, when in fact the risk is minor at best and witholding them is much more damaging to trans people (high suicide rate, for example).
Generally, rather than listening to experts, the government cherry picks bad research (similar to weirdos saying vaccines cause autism) and listens to and emboldens hate groups.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 4 weeks ago:
That’s the narrative, but trans rights have been taken away. Ask anyone who is being forced to put themselves by going to their “sex assigned at birth” bathroom, or being forced to use the accessible toilets.
Not to speak of the increased trans-spotting, and the fact women can now be searched by male police officers (trans or cis) for being suspected of being trans.
And every effort is being made to pass more laws to make things worse, such as making registries of trans people, outing them to their employers and potential employers.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 1 month ago:
That’s incredibly stupid. Genuinely one of the worst comparisons by a large company in the last few years, and we just had the Nvidia fake frames scandal.
Is this claim local, or do they do this across markets?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yep, been using it for years now.
Moved over from RealVNC due to licensing limitations and problems with speed and I’ve never looked back.

- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 2 months ago:
And yet, the Supreme Court in the UK claims that trans people shouldn’t be afforded the same gender-based discrimination protections as their cis counterparts.
Discrimination is a social artifact, based on performed gender, not biological sex (whatever that means), as evidenced here.

I have a Pixel, so I have considered switching to something like GrapheneOS, but historically (with other ROMs) that meant giving up on camera quality and features.

Boost has not had an update since mid 2024. I think it’s abandonware.
I managed to clear it by going to the tab left of messages tab and clicking clear all.
- Comment on Sam Bankman-Fried is angling for a pardon from Trump 3 months ago:
I disagree. Most of the people Trump has pardoned, helped or gotten along with are libertarians.
They’re millionaires / billionaires who hate taxation and regulations because it gets in the way of their ruthless means of making money.
Trump is more than happy to help them to do that. He runs the government like a quid-pro-quo crime syndicate where you can buy yourself favours, including getting out of jail.
His authoritarianism only targets the poor; whatever scapegoat-du-jour the far-right hate today (trans, LGBT, minorities, immigrants); and anyone that tries to protect them.
He needs votes to stay in power, and since he can’t appeal to the left because everything he does is diametrically opposed with them (regulation, social spending, taxation of the rich) he has to pander to the far-right to keep a majority. Even if he is likely more right than far-right himself.
- Comment on Sam Bankman-Fried is angling for a pardon from Trump 3 months ago:
The requirements to get pardoned under the current administration are:
- Be white
- Be rich or high profile
- Be generally aligned with the right
- Claim your incarceration was politically motivated (it almost never is)
Your crime does not matter. Trump will accuse foreign refugees of being drug dealers and violent criminals, then pardon drug dealers and violent criminals if they were white and high profile enough (Google Ross Ulbricht as an example).
