- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? Google says a new AI tool on its search engine will rejuvenate the internet. Others predict an apocalypse for websites. 3 days ago:
Fuck google and the walled web. Time to help people join the fediverse.
- Comment on GOG announce a new new one-click system aiming to "take things to another level entirely" for fuss-free modding 1 week ago:
Oh, excellent. Still a real shame that gog seem incapable of, or do not wish to, support linux directly with most of their projects.

Will it work on linux?
- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 1 week ago:
As usual tech obsessives are completely disconnected from the general population.

Ah, thanks!
- Comment on I Just Want To Be Single!! is an aromantic dating sim that’s rewriting the rulebook 1 week ago:
Thanks for explaining! We appreciate it!
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
Sorry it has been a long time since we have seen the show. What do you mean?
Oh, that sounds a bit dire. We hope it allows us to rebel completely.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
Completely agree.
- Comment on I Just Want To Be Single!! is an aromantic dating sim that’s rewriting the rulebook 1 week ago:
How so?
- Comment on I Just Want To Be Single!! is an aromantic dating sim that’s rewriting the rulebook 2 weeks ago:
Hmmmm, a bit confusing it’s a dating sim if it’s meant to be about an AroAce person, but it’s somehwat understandable if somebody is trying to figure themselves out.
Might check it out once it’s complete (early access is too hard to trust especially with a newly made studio).
- Comment on Musk and Zuck ‘Use Our Love for Each Other to Hold Us Hostage’ 2 weeks ago:
Not really, closest is Jitsi Meet or Element Call. Personally I think and have experienced video calling on federated services are/as abismal though, you’re better off sticking to centralised like Signal.
- Comment on Tesco shoppers mock 'VAR'-style cameras at self-checkout 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s definitely one of the things they do. However, that’s not the only thing.They have a ‘better than you’ attitude in general and pretty much stick to the status quo.
- Comment on Tesco shoppers mock 'VAR'-style cameras at self-checkout 2 weeks ago:
Yes.
You can, I did and it was fine. It’s really not their job to do it, they really do not have to, as long as they don’t do anything themselves it’s not like an empolyer can prove they’re lying or would even bother wasting their time trying to, at least in our experience. Just keep their heads down and focus on the work they get paid for and nothing else.
The BBC are transphobic assholes that also like to pretend that being ‘unbiased’ is A: possible and B: a good thing. I can see the hatred and judgement dripping and seething through their writing though.
- Comment on Musk and Zuck ‘Use Our Love for Each Other to Hold Us Hostage’ 2 weeks ago:
[sarcasm] The solution is pbvious then, just don’t love others then. [/sarcasm]
No, but seriously, the best thing is to be stronger, move to platforms etc without control, spying and disgusting incentives and algorithms, and if you truly care for others show them how to use those too.
It’s not easy but it can be done. That’s truly love.
- Comment on Tesco shoppers mock 'VAR'-style cameras at self-checkout 2 weeks ago:
Wow, the checkout workers thinking they have to be cops when they don’t get paid enough anyway. You can just… not.
If you truly want shoplifting to stop more technology will not stop that. The only thing which will is making food free and/or giving people UBI etc.
That or just getting rid of capitalism.
Also, fuck the BBC.
- Comment on Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance' 2 weeks ago:
Wow, yeah.
- Comment on Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance' 2 weeks ago:
We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

No thanks.

- Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet 3 weeks ago:
and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features.
That’s what you said, so I was just going off of that.
- Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet 4 weeks ago:
Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?
- Comment on The Last of Us Part III: Joel of the Dead 4 weeks ago:
I hope not. Stories need to move on, else we get Star Wars (except Andor) again with self referential rubbish saying nothing of value.
Let him go.

They won’t, fandom is a piece of shit.
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 1 month ago:
Oof.
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 1 month ago:
Aren’t delays to video games good though? Less crunch and hopefully fewer bugs.
Also it being an industry always seemed wrong to me. If big corpos are dying off then that’s good. Video games shouldn’t be about soulless money grabs and ever increasing profits, they should be about art and making enough to live on.
- Comment on 100,000 People Are Using a Telegram Bot That Makes AI Cumshot Videos of Anyone 1 month ago:
This implies that bad things are comparable. They aren’t, they’re all bad in their own way.
- Comment on 100,000 People Are Using a Telegram Bot That Makes AI Cumshot Videos of Anyone 1 month ago:
Disgusting.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 month ago:
If they allowed us to give to firefox directly, maybe. Personally we think it is likely that mozilla badly needs to become a worker owned co-op so that CEOs stop taking so much.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 month ago:
Yeah, they really should have allowed us to give to firefox directly a long time ago. Why they don’t is beyond me considering they do with thunderbird.
