Is that the Ouya controller I spot?
- Comment on When IT upgrades your instrument computer to W11 1 day ago:
Oh this was a deliberate upgrade - they just didn’t bother to ask/check if it was ok to just spontaneously do… 😞

Playing on the couch is a godsend.

- Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research 3 days ago:
As just one example, if a famous person makes an account, and then a spammer makes an identically-named account, just on another instance, then the famous person’s followers could get confused.
Tbf, you can basically do this now - throwback to the start of paying for Twitter verification…
On Mastodon, the simple answer is you use the verification to prove it’s you by using rel=me links.
It’s not perfect, as you’d expect, but in an age where everything is suspect anyway…
- Comment on Apple supplier Luxshare weighs manufacturing in U.S. to tackle tariffs 3 days ago:
In a transcript of the call seen by Reuters, Wang Laichun said the tariffs would have little impact on profits and revenue, as Luxshare exported only a small amount of finished products to the United States.
And doesn’t that just explain the reason why manufacturing jobs are not going to return to the US.
- Comment on Microsoft celebrates 50 years 1 week ago:
Aside from the proprietary bit, there’s also an argue over companies existing for so long also just perpetuating wealth inequality since the same families hoard the wealth that the company generates. I wish I could remember where I saw the argument (I feel like it was probably an article associated with NPR), I found the arguments against allowing companies to reach 100 years old quite compelling.

Also the most accessible - just literally go to a website - don’t even have to login if you don’t want.
DeepSeek you have to install a fucking chrome extension (good luck doing that at work), or you have to create an account.
OpenAI still following the bigtech trend of “get them hooked for free, then make money”

You’re missing an opportunity to say Fuck Dolan.
- Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design 2 weeks ago:
Also, incredibly creepy - this means they crawled his Facebook page to get his face and then used the creepy surveillance program to pick him up.
Imagine being the security dude working for this company and going “yea boss, we can make sure the guy saying mean words is banned”
- Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design 2 weeks ago:
Imagine being this petty.
I’d start selling the t-shirts outside the venue.

- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft will end OneNote support, and the app will no longer receive new features and security updates. As such, users are strongly recommended to migrate to OneNote for Windows desktop app
Is this the UWP version, or just the “windows 10” version?
The non-x86 version is absolutely awful and deserves to die - the desktop version is fine, and not a bad tool for organizing notes and taking meeting notes when your company uses Microsofts tool house (i.e. you have no choice).
- Comment on Yahoo is selling TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
Yahoo was owned by Verizon up until 2021, so it shouldn’t too surprising it’s still around.
You might be surprised to learn that people still pay AOL (which was also part of the Verizon purchase/sale) and is part of Yahoo…
- Comment on Yahoo is selling TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
Surprised it wasn’t Conde Nast
- Comment on Discord heightens ad focus by introducing video ads to mobile apps in June - Ars Technica 3 weeks ago:
That’s the silicon valley way though, get people hooked, then monetize.
Where are must people going to go, back to teams teamspeak? Nope, most are going nowhere, just like most users didn’t leave reddit.

I mean Matrix works across providers, so don’t think you need a centralized account service - just like there’s no central account service for email.

Will be interesting to see if this continues, or if Trump is just trying to extract something from Google to drop the case.
- Comment on Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says Tesla ‘is the worst in the world’ at improving its technology for drivers 4 weeks ago:
There’s also Android Automotive that can do that (separate from Android Auto).
The reason Tesla doesn’t use that, is because they want to control what you experience. There’s a reason you can’t use your own music provider.
