• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Duolingo the face of an AI jobs crisis?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a misnomer to call it an “AI jobs crisis.” LLMs just made it much more visible that CEOs and shareholders are greedy, shortsighted, and don’t know how anything works. Duolingo was already mediocre. Now it’s going to be completely useless.

  I’ve heard good things about Pimsleur

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look. He had the stupid tariff idea. He liked it because he likes the thought of getting his way by punishing people who defy him. That’s how he sees tariffs. It wasn’t a good idea. People told him that. So, being a stubborn narcissist, he wanted to do it more. Now here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve agreed with that for years. But I think there’s going to be a last straw soon. Microsoft is practically abandoning support for most of its products in favor of milking a relatively small number of mega corps for all the license fees it can get away with. If anyone ever takes privacy seriously again, Recall could force an exodus from which Microsoft might not recover.

  You’re thinking of Recall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost feel bad for Intel. They gave us perfectly fine CPUs that lasted for years without needing upgrading, and nowhere to go from there in a world that demands infinite exponential growth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux has traditionally been a “hands-on” OS. So there’s not a big market for hardware that ships with Linux pre-loaded and everything “just works.” People who seek out Linux are generally tinkerers. But obviously there is a big market for computers that just work out of the box. Honestly, I’d say this is the biggest thing holding back mass adoption of Linux: no over the counter Linux boxes to just buy and run with.

  The 2038 problem is going to be +3C global warming, ensuing wet bulb temperatures and mass starvation due to breadbasket failures. (debbie downer sound)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Marijuana don't want you to know...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of weed helps concentration? The kind I’ve had makes me lose interest in my own sentences halfway through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they understand what’s happening?

  No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.
