That’s interesting. I wonder where the sunlight gets in to my stomach for all those plants to photosynthesize.

Mark Zuckerberg should’ve started a pedophile ring instead. He would’ve gotten off easier.

I never understood backing things up to your own house. Like, if my house burns down I’ll lose my phone and my backup.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 5 days ago:
How does it do as a daily driver? You can do banking? Run random Android apps, etc?

- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s where our work processes are maybe different. I already have a very well-defined design that I’ve worked out with the business types. They all signed off on it and at this point I’m just telling Claude to build what I have already documented. I know very well what is required and won’t let it stray from that with its own ideas.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
It’s not just Claude, it’s Claude code. Not sure if you’ve actually used it. I’m using Claude code every day now. I don’t write a single line myself anymore. I just prompt and review and prompt again. At this point, I can see how it is more efficient to have one engineer prompting five Claude agents than to ask that one engineer to explain the design to five contractors and ask them to build it. The contractors will take weeks. Claude takes minutes. I did in 2 days this week what would’ve taken 5 engineers two weeks each before. I know this because I actually built something similar last year and it took 5 engineers two weeks each to do it. I did it by myself in two days this time with Claude code. I’m not wrong about this because I can see it with my own eyes. I know Lemmy is full of a bunch of people that are whiny about AI, and I get it to a degree, but it is also legitimately changing things.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
To be honest, Claude code writes damn good code. It’s very hard to argue you shouldn’t use it when it can pretty much do in 30 minutes what would take a human a month.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah all these people with their silly ideas. On these types of threads the top comment always says “hobbies.” Who has hobbies as a working adult? You work eight hours a day at the minimum and spend another two hours commuting. Weekends give you time to do your laundry and scramble to get everything else done. Who has time for hobbies?

Jumping out with guns drawn. This looks like a gang robbery.

This is why you shouldn’t use Google or Meta products
- Comment on Goldenrod 2 months ago:
Europeans were the ones traveling around between continents spreading plants from one to another without regard for the consequences.
- Comment on Goldenrod 2 months ago:
Said no American ever. There are many things to have conflicts about between nationalities, especially now, but this is a weird one. Europe is probably the continent with the most egregious history spreading invasive species.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 2 months ago:
What would its goals be? Realistically, the US was probably bound for conflict with China and Russia before Trump. Now, Trump is creating a scenario where the US will have conflict with its allies and China. This is Russia’s doing.
Militarily, Russia has shown itself to be weak. The US could easily crush Russia in a conventional conflict if it wanted too, but there would be a risk of nukes popping off. Thats why Biden’s strategy was to let it bleed out in Ukraine and hope Putin got toppled internally in the fallout.
Trump creating conflict with US allies creates a scenario where they must work with China. It’s uncertain how that will go.
If the US invades another country, it will likely encounter a prolonged guerrilla conflict and be bogged down there like Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq. China will help the other side make it as painful as possible.
Also, this conflict is unlikely to be popular in the US and rather than pulling together like in WWII, Americans will scatter or resist. At least half the country wouldn’t support the war.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 months ago:
The US has access to all of the systems. From a security standpoint they would want to build a new organization.

And what counts as a release these days is just some remaster of a game that was popular a decade or two ago.

Cancer is something Boomers fear because many of them will die from it. Climate change isn’t anything they have to really worry about because they left it for their kids to deal with.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 2 months ago:
It’s called Kagi Assistant. You can choose any model. For premium models, you need to upgrade.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 2 months ago:
They do offer access to ALL the LLMs. You could pay $20 to OpenAI for ChatGPT 5, or you could pay $25 to Kagi for unlimited Kagi search and access to premium models for ChatGPT, Claude, Google, Mistral, Kimi, and others.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 2 months ago:
There is Kagi for the rest of us
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 2 months ago:
$5 million is the threshold where you start to not need to work full time if you’re not old age. Like, you can basically have 40 working years of your life back and not sacrifice on milestones like owing a home, having a family, security in your elder years, and a comfortable life…
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Yeah, I know. I’m saying the new price is unaffordable for the salary required to afford it.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
So, I do happen to know that they made some changes to the houses including building a full size basketball court two levels underground. However, making $665,000 is not enough to afford an $5million dollar house.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 months ago:
Canada, Europe, Ukraine vs Russia and Belarus
America, Japan, Taiwan vs China and North Korea.
Israel will use the opportunity to fully genocide Palestine, expand into Lebanon and Syria sparking a regional conflict there.
India vs. Pakistan
In practice, some countries will lose rapidly once the nukes fly and a lot of people will die.
