- Comment on Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire 2 weeks ago:
“One particular point of contention for Downey Jr is Musk’s obsession with Mars colonization. The actor didn’t mince words when he stated, “This idea of, ‘It’s all okay because we’ve gotta get to Mars,’ doesn’t really hold water with me.” It’s a striking criticism that cuts to the heart of Musk’s most ambitious projects.”
Of all of the thing’s Techbro has said and done, his fakey mars ambitions are a particular point of contention for RDJR? The nazi stuff is ok, but him pretending we’re all going to mars so we don’t have to care about Earth that parts the real issue? I hope this is just editorialized and out of context.
- Comment on Kamala Harris' 'Fortnite' map bans guns, has less than 400 people playing 2 weeks ago:
lmao I’m sorry I am 100% for gun regulation but this some big boomer energy and NOT the way to appeal to youth. If the intent is to say “Hey, we have no idea about what you are into but we are pretty sure we know better than you. Go to your room! No video games for a week!” then it’s probably working.

In hindsight, the sites and services yahoo offered self imploding before they became fully enshittified is actually not the worst outcome.

I don’t think they care at this point. They can say and do anything and just say it’s a conspiracy.

I’m shocked! SHOCKED! Well not that shocked.

Jesus…
- Comment on Looking for TV recommendations 4 weeks ago:
That’s def a way to get dumber tvs! Though I’m fine buying a smart tv as long as I can keep it 100% isolated from the internet and just use the hdmi inputs and pretend the smart stuff isn’t there. idk if they have gotten quite so malicious yet that you can’t even plug one in without it demanding to be connected to the internet and forcing you to agree to a eula. Roku comes close if I remember. But those shenanigans happened because tv’s were connected and downloaded an update. So whatever is cheaper for the features I care about and I think digital signage you pay a premium for. But I won’t count it out! Thank you

- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 5 weeks ago:
What’s that meme? Hold on… I can dust it off since it’s still applicable. Oh, right! “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less, and I mean it!”
I don’t need it to be super epic in scope and graphically mind blowing. I just want a tight, focused, well thought out game that isn’t buggy af. And it doesn’t have to be flawless day 1, but there should be some pretty good communication and patches in the first month.
- Comment on Godot fork- Redot emerges after recent events within the Godot project. 1 month ago:
This whole mess has flooded my youtube feed with people self reporting. If they want an anti-woke version of Godot just so when they publish their bigoted games we can SEE that they are bigoted games, that’s perfectly fine by me. The trash that takes itself out is best.
- Comment on Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool 1 month ago:
And that’s ok! Like it’s totally ok to be the os that it is. And it’s ok that it’s not for anyone. It’s certainly not for my desktop atm. But then it’s super amazing at appliance stuff. I’ve got home assistant on a minipc and truenas on a server. It’s ROCK SOLID when it’s deployed where it will shine.
- Comment on Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool 1 month ago:
I honestly don’t want to leave windows. I did use linux for years and I don’t want to tinker with my OS or my applications anymore. And you’re right SteamOS isn’t a general purpose OS. My comment was more in the hopes that if it were pushed out like that, that MS would respond with more consumer friendly approaches to the desktop so I wouldn’t HAVE to switch again and deal with the jank. And there will be jank. I know a lot of games work now with proton but how about the Affinity Suite? I found a github that describes how to set up the process in like 18 easy steps so you can begin to install a custom wine for it and just like no I don’t want to do that. I want to just keep using my pc that works with the OS I actually paid money for and not get harvested. I am so tired.
- Comment on Microsoft’s hypocrisy on AI: can artificial intelligence really enrich fossil-fuel companies and fight climate change at the same time? The tech giant says yes. 1 month ago:
Well, if Sam “Liar” Altman said it, it must be true! AI can solve climate change for us AND allow us to keep burning as much fossil fuels as the industry wants us to!
- Comment on Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool 1 month ago:
What the heck am I going to do when win10 stops getting security patches? I really wish Valve would open up SteamOS to desktops in a public and supported way. That kind of pressure from valve has forced MS to play nice to users in the past. Anyone remember MS demanding that all software for Win8 be sold through the MS store only? And Valve said, fine we’ll make our own OS, with blackjack! And Hookers! And steam machines became a thing. Noone bought them. But it didn’t matter. It was enough pressure for MS to open up to having 3rd party storefronts again. I feel like we need this again. Also, if linux played nice with anti cheat, and discord I would probably be fine ditching windows but as it stands I’d miss out on playing games with my friends.
Anyway. Privacy Nightmare AI tool bad.

It’s not even fundamentally possible with the current LLMs. It’s like saying “Yes, it’s totally possible to do that! We just need to invent something that can do that first!”

- Comment on YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel 2 months ago:
Yeah I don’t see this being an issue at all. They have to physically have my key? Oh no. Then they already have my key. And I will have disabled the key on my accounts. Unless they what, steal the key from me, take it to the lab, clone it with 11k worth of equipment, then sneak it back into my purse before I notice it’s gone? That’s some nation state espionage stuff and that is not in my threat model.
