• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resistance is futile⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say that’s controversial, but it’s really just a matter of choosing which platform you think will enshittify slowest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely love that his name is the first thing anyone thinks about when someone so much as mentions a couch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They would. Just not in the way they’d prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Re-invent. Your still far too late to be first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sound quality will be exactly the same among any of the services that offer lossless files (ie all of the ones that aren’t Spotify). That’s literally the point of lossless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't beat the classics⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what knowledge we are talking about. Personally, I’d be feeding it tons of manuals so that I could ask questions like “Which version of software x introduced feature y?” There’s no extra context I need, I just need a version number to give to a customer. And in my industry, that type of info just doesn’t show up on Google. So having an LLM that can answer the question in seconds saves me an hour of sifting through manuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't beat the classics⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly what I was thinking. And this is actually the first time I’ve heard of some use of LLMs that I may actually be interested in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I’m generally not a fan of prequels. Everyone has inherent plot armor, since we know for a fact that they survive.

  As for Tolkien’s universe, I can forgive a certain amount of plot armor, since he structured things to work that way throughout the stories. It’s not just the show runners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨logs are for quitters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How much more energy would you get if you fused uranium?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t even credit them with that much thought. It’s far more likely that it’s simply “you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here’s another late night political “comedy” talk show.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused. Is it Bill Maher or just the concept of “You may also like” in general that you take exception to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little poser⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole “answer this trivia question” gatekeeping is dumb.

  But the unreasonable metalhead in me also wants all band shirts to have been bought at a show, so maybe I’m a bit guilty too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD wins at open source, GNOME completes Wayland support Linux & Open Source News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what you’re getting at here. A microcode exploit and open source software have nothing to do with each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck this asshole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That explains a lot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t that be a non-issue? The radiation is going to be spreading out in a cone, not a focused laser beam. It should dissipate down to a level that a spaceships normal radiation shielding would already need to be able to handle pretty quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That explains a lot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So why not just stop beside the planet you are aiming for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ENHANCE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marge Sort⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, how do I know that all four of the right half aren’t smaller than all four of the Left half?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder how things are going in America today...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait I need more details about this sandwich based political spectrum. What does it mean if I refuse to have a pulled pork sandwich without coleslaw on it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lady Gaga: 'Joker: Folie à Deux' 'Didn't Connect' with Audiences⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, her take sounded quite a bit more reasonable than that. If your an artist, your art isn’t going to connect with everyone all the time, and you have to be ok with that. A lot better than the normal blaming and bullshit that usually goes around when a movie bombs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We appreciate your community service.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woloolooloolool⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a chain of burger places called “The Burger’s Priest” in Canada. Must be talking about that place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JeSUS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are just the disguised lizard people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A scientific discovery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and in that exact order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad Ports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get mad at Windows features occupying ports, even when that feature isn’t in use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused. Are you saying that the gravy seals have any hint of a chance against the US army?
