- Comment on Bluesky Blocked in Turkey - Here's Why 4 days ago:
Yeah? Good. Bluesky’s community is atrocious. Nostr and the Fediverse are better and far more resistant to censorship anyway.
- Comment on Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification 4 days ago:
I already don’t use Discord too much, and if they push this, I’m done with it completely.
- Comment on Meet Neptune, a TikTok alternative where creators can hide likes and follower counts | TechCrunch 6 days ago:
I cannot be paid enough to use or support TikTok or anything like it. A major source of all the issues society is facing today.
- Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite? 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t used an Ally and I love Steam but objectively, I’d recommend the Deck. Phenomenal ergonomics, amazing software (Bazzite is good but doesn’t compare), good build quality, right-to-repair friendly, Valve is an American business (not important to everyone but it is to me) and you’d be supporting a company that has done nothing but make PC gaming amazing.
- Comment on Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit. 2 weeks ago:
I encourage getting one with or without tariffs. 100% worth the money. I also don’t think they’re going to go up in price, particularly not with Valve. I’m fairly certain people are massively overreacting to the tariff thing.
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 2 weeks ago:
There’s obviously a serious pedo problem in nations’ governments across the world because that’s really the only explanation for the continued existence of such a thing.
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 2 weeks ago:
Just about the LAST thing this world needs. Bad enough we have loads of spineless men already, and female birth control pills are ruining women as it is.
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 2 weeks ago:
Unencrypted platforms like FB, Insta and Discord are said to be full of CSAM and nobody does anything about it, yet E2EE chat apps like Signal are the “problem” and governments “need” a backdoor to those. Just sad.
There have also been reports of idiotic wannabe influencer parents who sell risqué images of their daughters on Instagram, which is massively disturbing.
- Comment on Trump extend TikTok ban enforcement deadline by 75 days to continue work on a deal to sell it. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Walmart is considering buying TikTok, sources say 2 weeks ago:
I wish they’d just let TikTok die. Literally worthless platform.
- Comment on Recommendations for games for 6 year old 2 weeks ago:
Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a great one. Colorful, fun, complex enough that he can grow with but simplistic enough for him to have fun without constantly needing help.
- Comment on Show off your Steam Deck's home screen! 3 weeks ago:
Awesome, thanks for the tips! Just have to figure out a way to transfer the screenshots to my PC though, as I only sign in to gaming accounts on my Deck.
- Comment on Show off your Steam Deck's home screen! 3 weeks ago:
How do you get these screenshots? I’d show mine but have no idea how to capture the game mode UI.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies 3 weeks ago:
I don’t care for Hollywood in the least but this isn’t a positive development. Influencer culture really needs to die. I’d much rather see people switch to markets like anime and K-drama, as both of those are largely still packed to the brim with good art.
