fukka42··on Guests ejected mid-stay from bankrupt hotel chain Sonder
Everyone knows Marriott.
fukka42··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
Also since when is dang not an American? Maybe he wasn't born there, idk. But he clearly is American.
fukka42··on Denx (a.k.a. U-Boot) Retires
U-Boot is pretty cool, I like how scriptable it is.
fukka42··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
Sure.

> The sentence that crossed the line egregiously was: "I understand it's difficult for you as an American to realize that other countries exist and are just as valid as America".

This is actually me being emphatic. I know Americans are raised to believe they're special, most of them never leave their country, and so it is difficult for them to see things from a normal point of view.

Now go moderate the rest of that thread. Plenty of heinously offensive comments you seem to have missed.

fukka42··on Android developer verification: Early access starts
Quite simple: Actual human review that works with the developers.

But this costs money, and the lack of it is proof google doesn't really care about user security. They're just lying.

fukka42··on FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs
Apple? Not interested in being a good internet citizen? Say it ain't so!
fukka42··on FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs
Being allowed to contribute to open source is a privilege, not a right.

You could also just pay for it.

fukka42··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
Feel free to clarify what you think is abusive about this. It's a simple observation of fact, and if you were to read the rest of this thread objectively you'd see it is accurate.

Why are you not yelling at the people hurling insults at the UK? Is it because you're American and this hurt your feelings so it's bad, but hurting others their feelings is fine?

The Americans are literally threatening violence and war in this thread. It's utterly insane. But I see you didn't bother to talk down to them.

fukka42··on YouTube Removes Windows 11 Bypass Tutorials, Claims 'Risk of Physical Harm'
Crazy how windows 11 objectively works fine on pretty much all hardware you'd expect but Microsoft is insisting it doesn't and we need to upgrade
fukka42··on Immutable Software Deploys Using ZFS Jails on FreeBSD
Isn't this just docker with extra steps?
fukka42··on Text case changes the size of QR codes
That's why engineering should silently add a toLowerCase and just generate qr codes with lower case as well.
fukka42··on Vacuum bricked after user blocks data collection – user mods it to run anyway
Which one is that? I want one without cloud and valetudo seems like a pain. Buying an 800 dollar vacuum only to risk bricking it right away is scary. I'd buy a simple one for $80 right away though.

So could you. You're already using one labour saving device, why not another?
fukka42··on ChatGPT terms disallow its use in providing legal and medical advice to others
Any reason you didn't just call your GP or even 911?
fukka42··on ChatGPT terms disallow its use in providing legal and medical advice to others
To scam people? No.
fukka42··on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe from US Authorities
If the violent, untrustworthy, Americans choose to go to war with their former allies over some data then that's their choice. Better than just giving these warmongers everything they want.
fukka42··on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe from US Authorities
They can assert what they want, they have no way to enforce it.

Pretty funny you're jumping straight to warfare. This proves why Americans cannot be trusted.

In any case, it's better for me that the Americans will need to start a war with the EU to get at my data instead of just giving it to them.

fukka42··on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe from US Authorities
The US has no authority whatsoever over a foreign parent company. The US subsidiary also has no access to "foreign" data.
fukka42··on iOS 26.2 to allow third-party app stores in Japan ahead of regulatory deadline
Don't forget "apple approved my app already but is now blocking bugfixes until I overhaul the entire thing to appease this new reviewer"

And then repeat that every few months.

fukka42··on iOS 26.2 to allow third-party app stores in Japan ahead of regulatory deadline
They're the ones selling the gambling games. They didn't create them, but they do sell them.
fukka42··on iOS 26.2 to allow third-party app stores in Japan ahead of regulatory deadline
All it did was embolden Google to start locking down as well.
fukka42··on iOS 26.2 to allow third-party app stores in Japan ahead of regulatory deadline
> Here in EU they did allow third party stores

Hardly. They did everything they could to make it completely pointless. Your apps still need to be blessed by apple and you still need to pay them. It's embarrassing the EU is allowing this sham.

fukka42··on NoLongerEvil-Thermostat – Nest Generation 1 and 2 Firmware
Any good multi zone ones for home assistant?
fukka42··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
> since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms

This is just so funny.

fukka42··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
Never mentioned Tesco, never mentioned grocery stores. That's just you putting words in my mouth.
fukka42··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
I never said grocery stores and you already agreed that what I did say is correct: You can buy guns at the supermarket in America.
fukka42··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
Sure, it's just really funny to worry about people having to wear helmets ona bicycle when you have so many mass shootings per year it's been normalized to the degree that they don't even make the news anymore.

Apparently, just this year, a total of 366 people have been killed and 1,668 people have been wounded in 374 shootings, as of October 31, 2025.

fukka42··on </> Htmx – The Fetch()ening
Not something I'd pay a premium for.
fukka42··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
I specifically said supermarkets, not grocery stores. I acknowledge they're not the same thing, but Walmart absolutely is a supermarket.

And I'll pass on visiting the US why y'all have armed police running around tackling people & disappearing them, and are demanding social media passwords only to refuse entry if you've been critical of Dear Leader. Sort your shit out, then maybe.

fukka42··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
Right, so they sell guns at a super market? Walmart is a super market and like you say, they sell guns.

How is this "not really"?
