I’m sorry, I can’t do that.
- Comment on Google acquires Cameyo to bring Windows apps to ChromeOS 4 weeks ago:
Oh no, my Linux* OS is infected! With Windows.
*Many restrictions apply
Seriously, there’s so many free (as in freedom and beer) and private OS/kernels out there, don’t go for the locked-down one from the company that wants to sell all your data…
- Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 1 month ago:
What is… happening?
- Comment on Google Fit APIs get shut down in 2025, might break fitness devices 1 month ago:
I like Podcast Addict, but yeah, there are some guys choices out there!
- Comment on Google Fit APIs get shut down in 2025, might break fitness devices 1 month ago:
The issue here is the new thing has a shittier dev experience and less features.
I’m so tired of it happening that I avoid investing time and data into Google products now. YouTube Music is worse than Google (Play) Music, Gmail is worse than Inbox, YouTube Music is worse than Google Podcasts… The list goes on.
- Comment on Spotify just hid song lyrics behind its subscription 2 months ago:
I’m assuming this was sarcasm.
If not, I must have missed the past where they became a nonprofit…
- Comment on Why the US government’s overreliance on Microsoft is a big problem 2 months ago:
The world’s over reliance on Microsoft is a big problem. That’s why they can make deeply unpopular changes to their OS/browser/office program and must companies and governments and users just accept it…
- Comment on Copilot key is based on a button you probably haven’t seen since IBM’s Model M 2 months ago:
Sorry, it was a joke. Not a good one, but a joke nonetheless!
- Comment on Copilot key is based on a button you probably haven’t seen since IBM’s Model M 2 months ago:
I use Alt-F4! I’ve been banned from a lot of games due to disconnects…
- Comment on AI-generated articles prompt Wikipedia to downgrade CNET’s reliability rating 4 months ago:
I mean, I like Wikipedia, but are they considered a trusted, stable, independent reviewer of news sources? What’s their track record?
- Comment on Jon Stewart Says ‘Daily Show’ Return Was Prompted by Wanting to Have a “Place to Unload Thoughts” Ahead of 2024 Election 4 months ago:
I’m sorry, that’s not how this works. I never advocated for him once. You are the one who said he:
“[would] make a fucking awful president.”
“[Wouldn’t be] be able to steer the American political system in a way that would benefit most Americans.” As opposed to Trump, his likely opponent…??
“He’d mostly be yet another demagogue, just for the left instead of the right.”
Do you have any sources for those, or are they just baseless opinions, like mine and everyone else’s…?

“[Taxpayers] pay for that!” is a very misleading way to phrase it. State, Federal, sales, etc… You do realize they’re going to collect taxes no matter what, yes? I’m not getting them back! And if money already on-hand isn’t used to help literal hero firefighters in the form of the benefits they were promised for saving lives in the wake of the biggest terrorist attack against the country, then what fuck should we spend it on!? Nothing?? It’s fine if you believe that, but it’s a totally different discussion…

Because they didn’t once explain why…?
- Comment on The unexpected triumph of Kieran Culkin, after the long shadow of Macaulay and a chaotic family of seven siblings 5 months ago:
I know this article is about Kieran, who’s great, but this quote struck me:
Today, with a band — The Pizza Underground — a podcast and two young children, Macaulay Culkin describes himself as “basically a 30-something-year-old retiree.”
He’s 43. And the article came out this year!

Compared to Microsoft, they’re… both bad.

- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 7 months ago:
This is the first “happy cry” I’ve seen in this thread, and I’m so happy I found it! That sequence at the end of New Donk City was so great…
