- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 5 days ago:
Exactly.
People don’t root for feature-poor stuff because it’s unique but because the features it’s missing - that you want - preclude the hardware and the hardware maker from slipping in features that you don’t want.
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 6 days ago:
I think it’s also a sign that people want a device that doesn’t come from Big Data, isn’t online and isn’t designed to put them under surveillance and invade their privacy.
- Comment on They Criticized Musk on X. Then Their Reach Collapsed. 2 weeks ago:
They chose to sleep in somebody else’s bed and they shat it. What did they expect? Twitter isn’t some public agora where free speech is guaranteed or even expected.
Also, social media influencer drama is pathetic in general.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 2 weeks ago:
He should have given more than $1m to Cheeto in Mar-a-Lago. Cheapskate…
- Comment on How Elon Musk's favorite news influencer is capitalizing on his clout 2 weeks ago:
The only reason Musk has influence is because he has an audience on Twitter. The only reason he has an audience is because people are willing to listen to what he has to say.
The questions is: who the fuck is interested in what Elon Musk has to say?
Unfollow him - or whatever ignoring someone on Twitter entails, I’ve never been on Twitter so I don’t know - and Musk will find himself deprived of influence. Just like that.
- Comment on Microsoft is about to launch Recall for real this time 4 weeks ago:
Microsoft has been stealing people’s data right and left for years. Nothing new. If you’re only concerned about Microsoft violating your privacy now, you’re not that concerned about privacy.
- Comment on Microsoft is about to launch Recall for real this time 4 weeks ago:
Good. That will push more people to abandon Windows.

One less omelette per day and they’ll have enough money to pay off their car and buy a new one cash.
- Comment on Meta brings its anti-scam facial recognition test to the UK “after engaging with regulators”, letting celebrities opt-in “to receive the celeb-bait protection”. 2 months ago:
“Anti scam”… Riiight. I’m sure Zuckerberg is very concerned about his
customersuserscash cows now being scammed, and it has nothing to do at all with surveillance. - Comment on China threatens to retaliate against Trump tariffs 2 months ago:
“Fentanyl is America’s problem.”
In fairness, Trump’s tariffs are America’s problem too: it’s the American consumer who will foot the bill, not China.
- Comment on Google Maps will rename Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America in the U.S.. However, users in Mexico will see “Gulf of Mexico,” and the rest of its 1 billion monthly users will see both names. 3 months ago:
Trump could order a penis be drawn over the Atlantic ocean and Google Maps would comply. That’s what happens in fascist countries where the powers that be and corporations are in cahoots.
See point 9. of the 14 characteristics of fascism.

Gee I wonder why. It’s almost as national socialism was bad for business.

American for-profits are so hysterical about not servicing poorer people at cost that they’d rather cut services to everybody rather than comply.

We’re only a few DOF away from getting Zuckerberg-powered prostates exams. Eww…
