Eco fascism is strangely a real thing.

Because they are nazis that dyed their mustache green.
- Comment on these eco-facist stickers 5 days ago:
American eco fascists are the biggest hypocrites of them all. They romanticise race and nationality and hijack environmentalism to blame people mainly from southern continents while propagating genocide and a global third reich.
Meanwhile they are a genetic shit cocktail of who knows where more than a couple of generations back with no origin in the geographic location they reside and they have the biggest ecological footprint of all humans on the planet.

And give in to big DNS? What’s next? Multiple services per server? Insanity!
This was proudly coded in Notepad. - Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 1 week ago:
Like the human animal’s mind, except with less self awareness, less reflection, less contemplation, less hypotheticals, less mental gymnastics, less moral quandaries, less planning, less worries, less memories, less relationship drama, less existential angst, less sleepless nights remembering cringe moments… Depending on the other animal species and the individual.

Too bad you didn’t inherit your parents brains bud.

Totalitarians are more alike than different from eachother.
- Comment on Tech support for mum 2 weeks ago:
She decided on them herself, I know them and they are veeery easy for her to remember. A passphrase would be much more confusing for my old mum that was upset when she got her new phone that the keyboard was not alphabetical and only accepted after resistance that neither was it on her old phone.

Follow up: any advice for preferably FOSS remote desktop Linux to Windows 11 and Android to Android phone?
- Comment on Tech support for mum 2 weeks ago:
I think her menopause was twenty years ago.
- Comment on Tech support for mum 2 weeks ago:
We talk on the phone at least once a week. Unfortunately I think she is getting old.
- Comment on Tech support for mum 2 weeks ago:
She needs to keep track of two-three passwords. Yet every time it is “how should I know the password?” I don’t think it would make any difference if it was only one and a password manager adds one more layer of confusion when I’m doing remote tech support over the phone.

- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 3 weeks ago:
I’d imagine for a civilization advanced enough for not only interstellar travel but suggestively FTL if they are running some kind of logistics operations across star systems, they would not have issues neither of hoovering gas clouds or splitting molecules and recombining them into desired materials nor have a problem with any amount of energy required. Damn, their physics and chemistry is probably at a quantum level so they can make whatever elements they want and have the need of none.
Unless FTL travel and communications is stupid simple that we have missed some basic discoveries that would solve the Fermi paradox because we didn’t know what to listen or look for.
- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 3 weeks ago:
Why go through the hassle of plundering an inhabited planet in a remote system when there are near unlimited uninhabited planets to pick all over?
- Comment on Why are some people deciding to switch to iOS as Android is putting on more (iOS-like) restrictions? 3 weeks ago:
When I got a job iPhone i tried really hard to understand and to like it. I didn’t. The app store was a mess and the one button navigation made all apps inconsistent in what it does and where different apps put their own back button. My boss was very smug and thought I’d become an Apple evangelist just like him so I had to neatly wrap up some criticism of why we shouldn’t copy their UX for our product.
- Comment on Why the world doesn't have a backup plan for the oil crisis? 1 month ago:
Because it is a collective problem for society to solve until it is profitable to invest and lock down.
- Comment on What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelt exactly the same? 1 month ago:
The Scandinavian languages are very similar and we can usually understand each other pretty well just using our native tongues, though there are some funny traps and false friends. Norwegians are entertained that in Sweden we drink “bärs” (beer), because it sounds exactly like “baesj” (shit). And are astounded that we can “pula” with almost anything, as in “tinker/fiddle around” in Swedish and “fucking” in Norwegian. Oh yeah, a Norwegian ex gf found it hilarious that we have “rågkusar” (a type of rye bread) in the stores, as “kusa” in norwegian mean “cunt”. Also in Swedish a common slang word for shoes is “dojor/dojer”, which on the west coast of norway is very similar to “daejer” that means tits. So don’t go in a shoe store asking for a nice pair of “dojer” unless you know exactly what you are doing.
On a sidenote, I must give credit to the best Swedish word I know; “Skamsköljning”. Literally “shame-rinsing”. As in remembering something stupid you did and the feeling of shame washing over you. In Norwegian it is probably “pule-svejs”, fuck-haircut. The funny hair you have after a good banging.

I get banned left and right for making fun of nazis and reminding people that every day is punch a nazi day.
The nazis are such fragile snowflakes they can’t take some banter and the mods are so afraid that someone is offended that they take the side of weeping self identifying nazis that are backing murder en masse, which is apparently all okay because it’s just opinions.

I hear FidoNet whispering in modem noises.
- Comment on Plastic hinges on modern headphones 2 months ago:
I have a pair of AKG 240 of the same age if not a bit older that have seen plenty of other headphones come and go. Not the best headphones in any other categories but damn the most reliable and durable of studio cans ever built.
- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 2 months ago:
I think that the top tier actors that are making statements on social media or when accepting their awards should put their money where their mouth is and work with smaller independent companies that can make this an opportunity to grow.
- Comment on Incel propaganda in my music app 2 months ago:
Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer, dude. All of them actually pay the artists for their streams. I’ve used two first and both of them are great for music.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 months ago:
Can a reasonable person believe regardless of evidence in ghosts, in deities and gods, in folklore, in aliens, in superstition, in the importance of themselves, in their culture or nation, in their position in society and their gender roles, in mums cooking being better, in bad luck treating them unfairly, in the importance of their habits and rituals, in sticking to how they’ve always done it, in any number of irrational things that they hold close to heart?
I’d say apparently they can. People are not logic processors. People are people.
- Comment on Westerners, what's your impression on the Chinese Diaspora? And what does the people around your area of residence think of the Chinese Diaspora? 2 months ago:
Sweden. It is common with Chinese students here in the universities. I don’t think anybody thinks much anything of them. They are just people.

- Comment on Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today? 3 months ago:
Because of normalisation. The more you experience anything, the less spectacular it becomes.
Teenage kicks in particular needs something that is amped up from what was before. Hence evolution of music and culture has always been driven by youth.
- Comment on Is there a word, perhaps as 40-letter compound word in German, that explains this annoying social phenomenon? 3 months ago:
I can make up a compound word in Swedish for you. Osannolikhetsförlägenhet. Osannolik means improbable. Förlägenhet here means an embarrassing situation. So the word would mean something along improbability-embarrassment-situation.
- Comment on If donald j trump was replaced with a body double some time in the last 15 years, would you even care? 3 months ago:
That is some Temu garbage body double.
