- Comment on I would maybe like a smart watch, can you help me decide? 1 week ago:
Galaxy Watch, the original Pixel Watch and the Apple Watch have no charging contacts. It’s really the way to go.
The contacts have been an issue forever, like I remember it messing up a Fitbit a decade ago. Really crazy that it’s still a problem.
- Comment on Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team 2 weeks ago:
With that kind of leadership we should be thankful he can’t run for president, or he’d end up voted in.
- Comment on Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team 2 weeks ago:
Before his Twitter addiction it was much easier to think of him as a rich genius like you see in comic books, mostly since nobody knew what he was thinking. He’s also managed a celebrity-like persona that someone like robot Mark Zuckerberg could never pull off. That and money will always get hangers on.
- Comment on Mola the Fucktress 2 weeks ago:
No, but only because Pompeii has that too.
- Comment on I created this yesterday 3 weeks ago:
Nah, I’d say at least six days of work there.
- Comment on Boredom births creativity 3 weeks ago:
Section 702 says swearing on the internet is suspicious and worthy of intelligence targeting.
- Comment on Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules 4 weeks ago:
It’s slower, actually.
- Comment on Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules 4 weeks ago:
On iOS, hitting vol up, vol down, hold power for a second will instantly lock down and also no danger of accidentally calling 911 or whatever.
- Comment on How Hidden Nazi Symbols Were the Tip of a Toxic Iceberg at Life Is Strange Developer Deck Nine 1 month ago:
That’s an awful lot to say over “one person suggested” which it seems most people including the authors took to mean agreement.

Well shit.
- Comment on Mozilla just ditched its privacy partner because its CEO is tied to data brokers 1 month ago:
The CEO of Onerep had founded multiple brokers.
- Comment on Mozilla Drops Axe on its Privacy-Friendly Location Service 2 months ago:
The Mozilla Corporation does not accept monetary donations, those go to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. This is a common misunderstanding.
Mozilla Location Services is currently run by the Corporation.
- Comment on Great question Michael 2 months ago:
Yes, Copilot is their AI product line. The naming is awkward because the word itself sounds kind of weird, but in general it would be AI for Use Case. That’s how most of their products are named now.
They have something like a dozen Purview products and eight or more Defender products.
- Comment on Great question Michael 2 months ago:
They do, but I think Google is worse about it because it’s all random back and forth. Most of Microsoft’s recent changes have been renaming Office something or Azure something to Microsoft something. Often the product name itself hasn’t changed, or when it does it’s usually grouping a bunch of products with separate names under one product line with related functionality (Defender didn’t rename, but it also absorbed a lot, Purview and Entra were new absorbed a lot of other product names).
- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 3 months ago:
For the next four decades they’ll be asking everyone if they made this post
- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 3 months ago:
Converts are also eligible.
- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 3 months ago:
Birthright Israel offers trips to converts too, as long as you are in the age limits.
The law of return also allows converts to obtain citizenship.
In both cases you would have to be a practicing member of the community.
- Comment on Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? 3 months ago:
They violate the open source licenses for the projects they use.
- Comment on When people setup two factor authentication on an account on sites that allow it and insert a phone number, does that site assume by default that it's their own number or do they see it as "a" number? 3 months ago:
If it was a family computer it sounds more like she had signed in too. YouTube and Google support multiple accounts being signed in at once and have for years, with an account picker (Instagram does too, on the mobile app). The Deciantart thin is because they had the same IP address, that has long been a way of checking for ban evasion.
If you were using a phone number, which is generally the worst form of 2FA, they could potentially correlate that the accounts are at least related. Most sites wouldn’t, but places like Google or Facebook might. Other forms like TOTP or passkeys should not.
- Comment on Human Rights Watch accuses Facebook-parent Meta of falling short to protect LGBT people from harassment and doxxing 3 months ago:
Meta overly relies on technology for its reports and their algorithms are shit. So is the appeals process. Somewhere the right wing scared them with their censorship claims and they barely touch their platform even for blatant violations of their policies.
- Comment on Google Discloses That Incognito Mode in Chrome Isn't Entirely 'Private' 3 months ago:
Before they switched to the two column layout I swear the message used to be about the same as what they updated it to. But it’s been a long time since I used Chrome.
- Comment on About Kbin - why don't Kbin instances automatically grab updates if a magazine from another instance is out-of-date? 3 months ago:
I don’t think it’s usually out of date that’s the issue, but rather history. Generally activitypub instances don’t get historical data, they get data from the point someone subscribes, so you may be missing old threads and comments on your local instance that exist on the hosting instance. If nobody is subscribed your instance may not be grabbing new content though.
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 4 months ago:
That is fascinating! And different than I’ve heard described elsewhere by either the “non-visual” or “non-verbal” thinkers. I think I am pretty generic, when I think of a stapler I literally see a red swingline stapler floating in a void like in a 3d modeling program (that stapler specifically due to the movie Office Space, and therefore I also own one).
- Comment on Warning: Deleting comments does not work at all. Workaround: EDIT FIRST. THEN, DELETE. 4 months ago:
That’s a good test if your federation is working, but if federation isn’t working your edit won’t propagate either.
- Comment on When people say that apps are stealing your data, what exactly does that mean? 4 months ago:
A surprising number of restaurants ask for the “all the time” permission and hide it with “so we know when you’re almost here”.
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 4 months ago:
Out of curiosity do you visualize in your mind? Like if I say a stapler can you conjure one?
The people with both Aphantasia and Anauralia fascinate me.
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 4 months ago:
I am pretty sure it does. From what I’ve heard people that essentially “read out loud” inside their head tend to have a have a slower reading pace. I don’t think Anauralia is necessary to not do that, either.
