- Comment on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI — Huawei-backed BIOS firmware replacement charges China's domestic computing goals 2 weeks ago:
If I remember correctly it’s third tone so writing it as Loong actually makes sense in my head.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 2 weeks ago:
As an American the only time I’ve ever seen it is when I’m on my Swiss VPN
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 weeks ago:
I mean, blocking all of YouTube blocks all the shorts and it also blocks their disgusting tracking spyware littered across the web (not just Google properties).
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 weeks ago:
It’s worth it.
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 weeks ago:
I block all their domains using my DNS server and won’t ever be tracked by them again.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 2 weeks ago:
But what about the small blogger, the local restaurant, or the indie developer? For them, it’s another technical and legal headache, forcing them to install clunky, site-slowing plugins just to avoid a potential lawsuit.
As a small time developer, just no. Why would I be installing spyware on my small websites and importing a ton of third-party shit instead of doing things the right way from the beginning? Imagine tracking people to the extreme that you’ve got to resort to fucking popups and having that kind of web property tied to your name.

The Reject All button is only there in jurisdictions that require it.
- Comment on Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs 4 weeks ago:
I chain my VPN to a VPS where it’s then two hops through a local tunnel and two more through two other countries. The point is I like the VPS + local tunnels because it never seems like the traffic is leaving the country.
Were I living in one of the crazy states I’d still want at least my first hop to seem like it’s in the same state. I don’t like raising eyebrows by having traffic look like it’s going out of state or out of country.
- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 5 weeks ago:
Weren’t we already pissed and over it like 5-10 years ago? Why is this coming up again?
Honestly, who cares? This is one of those “issues” I feel like only people with way too much time on their hands care about, and that’s coming from someone with way too much time on their hands.
- Comment on YouTube Is Pausing Premium Family Plans if You Aren't Watching From the Same Address 2 months ago:
“YouTube would like access to your location.”
- Comment on YouTube Is Pausing Premium Family Plans if You Aren't Watching From the Same Address 2 months ago:
Yeah I’ve got Google’s servers and thousands of domains completely blocked on the layered VPN tunnels I call my network. I don’t care about YouTube in the slightest, and I pay for whatever I actually want to stream.
- Comment on YouTube Is Pausing Premium Family Plans if You Aren't Watching From the Same Address 2 months ago:
If I cared about YouTube Premium and sharing it across addresses I’d probably just tunnel into the payer’s network.
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 2 months ago:
How do you install software without knowing what it is? 😭
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 2 months ago:
What? Google Chrome is never installed by default on macOS and Windows. How would you not know what a browser is if you have to intentionally install it?
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 2 months ago:
On macOS I can’t understand why people like that clunky, spyware-ridden browser. Just yikes.
- Comment on Developer Unlocks Newly Enshittified Echelon Exercise Bikes But Can't Legally Release His Software 2 months ago:
My first thought was “why is this in the news?” It should’ve been released anonymously using Tor or i2p.
Obviously that makes receiving the county much more difficult unless the Foundation would be willing to pay via Monero (or something else).
- Comment on US | Republicans investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias 2 months ago:
I had to refresh my memory. I’m actually shocked they’re not based in Iceland or some other country with much stronger freedom of speech laws than the US.
