End bosses hate him

They really love their programming sock pics.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 2 weeks ago:
Especially in the rust belt
- Comment on shut the hell up 2 weeks ago:
The thing never understood my local dialect and speaking to electronics like you’re speaking to the king in your most polished language is never gonna happen. It usually gets even worse with multiple languages. Ask the assistent in English to play a French song and be horrified what it actually comes up with. It might have improved, I haven’t tested this in quite some time, but I can’t be bothered with it.
- Comment on Solid Plan 🧓 3 weeks ago:
The plan was to do some geratric version of Luigi if things get bad. Nothing much to lose by then.
- Comment on Onion forgets the satire (again) 3 weeks ago:
The Overton window is again threatening satire?
- Comment on Huh? 3 weeks ago:
while saying you have to be in the office because of the interaction
- Comment on Hostile architecture 4 weeks ago:
That’s going to be used by teens for finding new ways to sit and show off their balancing skills until it inevitably breaks, gets vandalised because it’s already broken until it ends up surrounded by dumped household waste and rats. The budget for cleaning up is used up for making that monstrosity in the first place, so it remains there as a blight on the landscape.

Proceeds to collect Labubu dolls
- Comment on Shitpost 5 weeks ago:
Lactose intolerant after Christmas dinners be like
- Comment on DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM 5 weeks ago:
It’s like with climate change. The worst 10 years are always the last 10 years.
- Comment on ChatGPT could prioritize sponsored content as part of ad strategy — sponsored content could allegedly be given preferential treatment in LLM’s responses, OpenAI to use chat data to deliver highly personalized results 5 weeks ago:
Then it starts hallucinating and gives an ad for a non existing product with a dead link. Advertisers get mad and threaten to sue.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 1 month ago:
And with what some recruiters put on linked in, some barely have any idea what they’re doing and just have some nonsense red flags to rationalize their job.
- Comment on Speedy Delivery 1 month ago:
The answer is most likely “the speedforce”. The amount of handwaving used to justify going fast in these movies are overwhelming.
- Comment on I hacked mars! 1 month ago:
Yeah, I think of that every time somebody starts talking about fallout shelters, space stations or bases on the moon or Mars. It’s definitely not a solved problem.
- Comment on I hacked mars! 1 month ago:
That was the biosphere 2 experiment. Turns out it’s very difficult to sustain the plants without the rest of the planet.
- Comment on electricity is honestly eldritch 1 month ago:
Just like in a river, water flows around the rocks but in a flood the rocks flow with the water.

“If Google was a guy” vibes
- Comment on It's the truth! 1 month ago:
A black box is orange. A red panda is brown. A great white is mostly grey.
- Comment on Congrats on the promotion 1 month ago:
Every time the CEO says AI, an investor will jizz millions all over the company.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 month ago:
Only had youtube cutting of a clip halfway because it was suddenly set to private. The amount of clips I put in Watch Later to have them disappear is also too high. Stop recommending slop that disappears later, stupid alghorithm.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 month ago:
No
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 month ago:
Usually because a group beneficial to rich folks didn’t like it.
- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 1 month ago:
It’s not just tech workers. More people are going back to retro tech. Physical media instead of streaming, one device one function no internet, that kind of thing.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 month ago:
It’s a nation of individual freedom taken to the extreme. That includes the freedom for wealthy individuals to exploit everybody else. And Anon is on the side of the exploited. Anon does seem as a person that will always argue for complete freedom, so finally maintaining the exploitation of themselves and the situation they find themselves in.
- Comment on We can play that game too 2 months ago:
They’re free to go live in the wilderness, with no roads, no fire department, no water or electricity, no services whatever, and find out how much they’re actually benefiting from our collective.
That’s the neat part. They do try, repeatedly, and it always fails. A classic one is Grafton. It’s also known as A Libertarian Walks into a Bear because their little paradise got overrun by aggressive bears. Lack of public services will do that.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
It might make players demand lower prices if some cheap AI slop is used in the game. That’s the thing publishers want to avoid. They want to sell cheap slop for full price and pocket the difference. That’s what it’s about in the end.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 2 months ago:
Like is often said, for many it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
That reminds me how McDonald’s and other gaat food chains are struggling. People figure it’s too expensive for what you get after prices going up and quality going down for years. They forgot that people buy if the price and quality are good. Same with AI. It’s all fun if it’s free or dirt cheap, but people don’t buy expensive slop.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 2 months ago:
Tuned for optimal exploitation.
