bzb6··on South Africa suspends rollout of Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine
That seems good. A government should do the best for their citizens regardless of what it means for other countries. It doesn’t sound like South Africa’s can even do that.
bzb6··on NRA bankruptcy lets critics peer into gun lobby’s inner workings
I see your point but why do you blame the NRA for this instead of the left? They are the ones alienating you!
bzb6··on NRA bankruptcy lets critics peer into gun lobby’s inner workings
Wouldn’t this be the logical result of the demonisation of guns by the left? I understand they can’t pretend to be bipartisan when one of the parties want to strip them of their rights.
bzb6··on UK exports to EU slashed by 68% since Brexit
> But that was backed by a slew of propaganda about how great it will be.

So, like any other election?

bzb6··on NordVPN disables features when you turn off auto-renew
Which you would notice immediately because of the big, scary warnings.
bzb6··on Homebrew 3.0
Ah, this reminds me of how shitty the maintainers were to me when I said I was using hackintosh (for an issue that had nothing to do with it).
bzb6··on Modifying Telegram's “People Nearby” feature to pinpoint people's homes
What I mean is that when any app asks the user for the first time to grant geolocation privileges, the OS shows a dialog where you can choose not to share a precise location. If you use that they cannot triangulate you that easily.
bzb6··on Modifying Telegram's “People Nearby” feature to pinpoint people's homes
When an app asks for your location for the first time you can choose not to give an exact location. Doesn’t that fix this problem?
bzb6··on DigitalOcean user portal loads twenty third-party trackers
Not using an ad blocker and complaining about this is like not using a condom and complaining about an itchy crotch.
bzb6··on China takes aim at BBC as dispute w Britain intensifies
The same thing happens with the US. It comes with being a powerful country. You don’t become a powerful country by making friends.
bzb6··on Parler CEO says he was fired by board
Ah, so free speech is only a good idea when you agree with it. I get it.
bzb6··on Parler CEO says he was fired by board
Discord does that.
bzb6··on Is Requiring a College Degree Discrimination? Yes, It Is
> Also, it's "proceeded"

He’d know that if he had a college degree.

bzb6··on Amazon will pay nearly $62m over “outrageous” practice of pocketing driver tips
It’s only pathetic if you assume everybody in those organisations and roles share your political views but they didn’t have the balls to act on them. Whilst it’s possible that they don’t care or they disagree with you.
bzb6··on Apple silicon M1 as-a-Service
I don’t see how those things need a Mac
bzb6··on Russian Pipeline Is Germany's Greatest Foreign Policy Embarrassment
It’s the greens’ fault. We should have invested in nuclear. We wouldn’t depend on Russian gas if we had nuclear.
bzb6··on gemini:// space
> a matter of justice

Ooof. This kind of wording makes me flinch away.

bzb6··on Facebook Moderators Speak Out About Poor Working Conditions in Ireland
They don’t downvote because they think the comment is wrong, they downvote because they’d rather reality not be like that.
bzb6··on Facebook Moderators Speak Out About Poor Working Conditions in Ireland
Because prices would be so high that you would be unable to pay rent or eat on your monthly “allowance”. You could keep raising the allowance every month and things would soon spiral out of control
bzb6··on Facebook Moderators Speak Out About Poor Working Conditions in Ireland
If everyone was guaranteed those resources, the price of everything would rise so people would still need to do those jobs.
bzb6··on Facebook Moderators Speak Out About Poor Working Conditions in Ireland
Jobs are paid according to supply and demand. Jobs that anybody can do will always be paid poorly.
bzb6··on Facebook is banning leftwing users like me
Quoting TFA:

> In August 2020, Facebook expanded its “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy”, aimed at removing the presence of far-right extremists from its website.

He doesn’t seem to have a problem with that, but now he thinks it’s wrong that it’s his views that are censored.

bzb6··on Facebook is banning leftwing users like me
Ah, censorship is cool except when it happens to you! I know all about that. Sorry for the schadenfreude, but it’s just too hard to fight it.
bzb6··on A framework that makes things worse on purpose
And the footer has to say “Made with (heart emoji) in (hip, expensive city)”
bzb6··on Vivaldi 3.6 Introduces Two-Level Tab Stacks
It’s honestly terrible, I’ve mentioned this before, there’s absolutely no way I’ll ever use a browser this slow. I abandoned Firefox back in the day for much less.
bzb6··on Ask HN: Logged Out of HN?
Not me at least.
bzb6··on Suspended from Google Play for listing supported subtitle formats
Yes, federated and decentralised which can run Windows and SPARC applications.
bzb6··on Firefox Relay
Just like they do with 10minutemail addresses and such.

This service is dead on the water.

bzb6··on Finland has slashed homelessness; the rest of Europe is failing
They already have all of that. The next step is forcing them, which is unpalatable as you can imagine.
