- Comment on Apple’s lock on iPhone browser engines gets a December deadline 2 days ago:
Hopefully you are incorrect. Buttt I wouldn’t be surprised if you were correct.
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 4 days ago:
Oooo, good point. Thanks for the advice and correction, we appreciate it!
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 4 days ago:
Oh, okay. The thing is many people who live with cats complain they scratch their furniture but give them no alternatives and then get annoyed at them for normal behaviour, so we want to stop that attitude, that’s all.
Thanks for explaining though, we appreciate it.
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 4 days ago:
Just put scratching posts next to the furniture instead.
- Comment on Tech giants turning blind eye to child sex abuse, Australian watchdog says 4 days ago:
Right, which is why commercial social media will always be shit and full of nazis.
- Comment on How to trick id verification 5 days ago:
Okay, but how does it want you to verify?
- Comment on How to trick id verification 5 days ago:
What kind of verification do they ask for? Maybe there are youtube videos of games that could bypass it. If you are in the UK (or know a full postcode) there is: use-their-id.com
- Comment on Tech giants turning blind eye to child sex abuse, Australian watchdog says 5 days ago:
[Sarcasm] Almost like turning to automated moderation systems and only caring about money is a recipe for not caring about anything else and blaming it on the bots that do work you should be doing yourselves.
- Comment on Can magnet damage hard disk? 5 days ago:
It’s alright. We all understood what you meant. Don’t worry about your spelling, this isn’t a test or anything. 🙂
- Comment on OpenAI releases a free GPT model that can run on your laptop 6 days ago:
Agreed.
- Comment on Microsoft yanks the plug on Windows 11 SE, giving school and college IT techs a little over a year to find a suitable replacement 1 week ago:
Maybe when it fixes its accessibility problems it’ll be a suitable replacement. Until then, maybe go with macs or something.
- Comment on So, Linus Torvalds is a jerk 1 week ago:
Kill your heroes 😉
- Comment on Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal 1 week ago:
Kind of shocked that he was using big tech instead of self hosting or using the fediverse, or a nextcloud instance and smaller email providers or something.
This has happened before and it will happen again, wondering why open source developers of all people don’t realise this.
- Comment on The AI age is the "age of no consent" 1 week ago:
Tech obsessives have never cared about consent. To them people are just things they can make do things, just data they can get what they want from, since technology does that they think people shoukd be like that. This isn’t the beginning of that attitude, it’s just the continuation of it.
- Comment on No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online 1 week ago:
[Sarcasm] I am shocked!
- Comment on Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content 1 week ago:
Oh no! Anyway…
Honestly Spotify is a terrible company and service, like all streaming. You own nothing. They pay artists peanuts.
Hope this leads to people buying music and/or supporting artists directly.
- Comment on Everyone says that Ryzen 7 2700x supports up to 64GB of ram but thats actualy not true, it supports more! 1 week ago:
You use it on boot. Your computer boots into it instead of an operating system.
- Comment on Australia’s attempt to join the space race lasts 14 seconds 1 week ago:
Happy cake day
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 week ago:
Either Mastercard and Visa already agreed with them and just needed to be pointed in the right direction and needed an excuse OR direct action actually works by being persistent and annoying enough.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 week ago:
Patience and organising.
- Comment on Qatar, Saudi, Egypt join call for Hamas to disarm, give up Gaza rule 1 week ago:
How fucking disgusting.
- Comment on Google Gemini deletes use's code 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t pedantry in the case I’m making. I’m making more of a moral/ethical point in that it’s unfair and probably ableist to people who do actually hallucinate to compare it with something that doesn’t actually do that.
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
Wow, that does sound interesting.
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, undertale was amazing at this!
- Comment on Google Gemini deletes use's code 2 weeks ago:
AI does not hallucinate, since it has no conciousness or thinking.
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
Ah yeah, this is a problem. I agree.
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
Okidoke, thanks for explaining!
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
If you mean just video games, then yes we agree.
TTRPGs can be this way, but don’t have to be.
- Comment on How To Be Evil in RPGs When You’re a Chronic Goody-Two-Shoes 2 weeks ago:
The problem with video games and being ‘evil’ is a lack of nuance or exploring the space.
You can either be ‘good’ or 'evil and there might not be much middle ground nor realistic reasons for being either.
TTRPGs are much better places to explore this dichotomy in because you can have actual reasons and it’s not just about being a mustache-twirling villain.
