That’s why you need an instant indexed search tool like Everything.
(I know this is a joke thread, I just love this tool so much - I have 5 million files on one computer and to have it instantly search filenames taking next to zero resources, as a totally free tool, from a time before subscriptions and bloat, warms my cold heart and I want to share that feeling.)
- Comment on Can one of the math addicts of lemmy.world calculate how much it would cost to give every adult in the US 5k for voting Republican? Also who is going to pay for it? My guess taxpayers. 1 week ago:
If it’s from the government, yes, there’s nobody but taxpayers paying it - either by the Treasury, borrowing with interest or money printing that devalues everyone’s money.
Money comes from somewhere and the government is in effect a financial proxy for the public. He’s offering us our own money.
- Comment on Can a region locked Switch 2 still be jail broken? 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, but you are just asking way too early. The SmileBasic game was already removed and right now people are researching new exploits. But nothing is promised, and there’s no way to know exactly what will develop and what hardware will be compatible.
- Comment on WB Games owner Skydance introducing five-day in-office mandate alongside 'Voluntary Buyout Program' 2 weeks ago:
They did the exact same thing when the swallowed up Paramount. In-office mandate to see if they could torment enough employees to quit, along with voluntary buyouts that were basically the severance amounts but occurring earlier, meaning it would reduce employment costs leading to severance payouts.
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 2 weeks ago:
People like this have two reasons to make it partisan:
- It’s a way for them to stay delusionally self-victimized that "AI would be a total success if it weren’t for that group of haters."
- If they succeed in making it partisan, that means they gain about 30% of the population as supporters via political team sports, versus 90% bipartisan hate right now.

“Why do we have to list ingredients, you can’t even taste the poison!”
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 2 weeks ago:
It’s a great “better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt” moment. He can’t help himself, it’s like the more power and money someone has, the more time they have to imagine how they’re victims.
But I like to know who is an awful person so I can avoid them, so thanks Tim.

I read this in Tim Robinson’s voice for some reason.

Well, the Supreme Court said money is speech, so I guess they think so.
- Comment on Is SuperStation One worth it? 3 weeks ago:
Got it.
Well, just trying to get the benefit of your experience, so let me ask a different way: my impression is that Taki Udon overpromised, teasing the SSO as an OoB console-like experience, but - while that isn’t ready yet - right now for the money it seems like a good and cheap MISTer with some future potential. Would you disagree with that assessment?
- Comment on Is SuperStation One worth it? 3 weeks ago:
Have you used it since they released the new UI layer? Is MISTer any easier to set up?
I bought the SSO and haven’t opened it yet, waiting for the software to not be a full-time project, so I’m not asking snidely. I just thought it was essentially a full-fledged MISTer for a cheap price and as a bonus has a few bells & whistles and a nice hardware shell. So I’m confused.
- Comment on Sony is losing exclusives as their games get ported to PC with AI 3 weeks ago:
It’s a more subtle but powerful difference, which is recompiling creates native code, which is more expansible and efficient (usually).
Emulation can appear similar but the code remains unchanged, so the system itself has to be emulated to run the non-native code, which (unless the emulator is very efficient) will usually be more limited and slower.
- Comment on The PS5 hacking scene just took a big leap forward 5 weeks ago:
…it seems someone took it as a personal insult that you haven’t wanted to play PS5 games for an indeterminate time period prior to the hack.
Sometimes the internet just be that way.
- Comment on Xbox One’s Catastrophic DRM Is The Reason It Can Now Offer Disc-To-Digital 1 month ago:
I don’t think so, but I think pessimism has merged with realism. Perhaps we all just agree that for 2026 tech companies, whatever the question is, the correct answer will be whatever’s the worst decision for the public.
- Comment on How original. Fucking Shakespeare over here. 1 month ago:
Sure, sometimes people are like that, but even if it meets the absolute minimum standards of plausibility, why on earth would I waste my time watching/reading it? It’s just bad writing either way.
Relatedly: everything is art, but not everything is good.
- Comment on KytyPS5 (PS5 Emulator) can now run GTA V at 60fps for few minutes before crashing 2 months ago:
The PC running it has a Ryzen 7 9950X3D CPU and an RX 7900 XT GPU
Seems very CPU dependant.
- Comment on An insurance I don't love 2 months ago:
We need to call the institutional capitalists’ bluff - single payer is a great way to prove capitalism works AND that private insurance is needed!
Create a public single payer option, and we’ll all marvel as private health insurance companies innovate and justify their existence by creating better, cheaper insurance products that we can decide to buy as a demonstration of the invisible rational hand of the market! Competition! That’s why we need a single payer option! If you aren’t for public insurance, you don’t believe in capitalism!
- Comment on Following accusations, James Pond Legacy devs say no generative AI was used in creating artwork 2 months ago:
The theory on The Other Site is what I also agree with: They took #1, fed it into an AI 3D modeler to get #4, fed that image into a 2D style AI model to get #2, and then went back to #4 and used AI and lazy Photoshop to remove some elements to get #3.
- Comment on Mass layoffs expected at EA as the now-private publisher reportedly tells its new debt masters that it's going to cut $700 million in annual costs 2 months ago:
AI told me we can do it!
- Comment on While he got the core idea right, he shouldn’t have compared apples to Apple’s. 3 months ago:
While this might be a typo, it could also refer to Apple’s idea, which is referenced earlier in the sentence.
- Comment on I had to see this. now you do too 3 months ago:
AI from Voidstomper.
If there’s any example out there of someone using AI in a way that enables art that isn’t mere slop, they’re probably the best example (but definitely an acquired taste).
Just beware if you look them up, you are going to see some other things you wish you hadn’t, much more than this.
- Comment on Flock cameras just one year apart 3 months ago:
Are we sure that is tracking install dates versus database-added dates? I assume Flock was quite a bit more prevalent in the greater NYC area only a year ago, whereas I can totally believe there were only that many tracked by deflock a year ago. But I certainly could be wrong.

Sartrefully done.

Yeeeup!
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I’m so here for this.
It’s genuinely infuriating to see a hundred years of movie poster art evolution discarded. It’s the first part of a movie’s artistic statement you ever see, and it gets summarily tossed in the trash so that Netflix’s internal overworked engagement metrics team can spend 2 minutes grabbing random shots of different stars in the film, slap single-color generic font text all over it, and target twelve versions to different demographics to try to get more clicks.
It’s even worse when I tell this to someone and they’re like, “I don’t really notice.”

- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 3 months ago:
All I see reading this is that managers and CEOs have never reached the object permanence phase of brain development, and need to be constantly visually reminded their employees exist or they’ll never promote them regardless of the work they do.
But then, I guess no manager of a multi-office company has had a team member in another location prior to COVID, so how could they possibly have planned for what to do in that situation.
- Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse' 3 months ago:
Well, I don’t think Nvidia is “having trouble” making 50 series cards. I think they have fab allocations that they are choosing to prioritize to AI products and its current ROI with blank check hyperscalers, compared to retail consumer products.
- Comment on Palantir CEO Alex Karp predicts he will get 20x richer from AI—but middle-class workers will get left behind 3 months ago:
He’s “sounding the alarm,” but not offering to do anything about it. Just sounds like someone who is having the earliest revelation that he doesn’t want to become dinner.
