- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 1 day ago:
Sometimes I wonder if it’s me getting old or if it’s tech being more and more about solutions in search of a problem. I feel like we had reached a “good enough” point for a while, but I can’t tell if the “good enough” judgement is just me getting old and stubborn.

- Comment on happy buy nothing day to those who celebrate 2 weeks ago:
I like to buy the least I can every day. If the economy relied on my purchasing habits, it would collapse.

Unpopular opinion but I agree. Maybe I don’t hang around enough stinky people, but I’ve encountered far more instances of punch-in-the-face perfume/cologne than body odor.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 1 month ago:
Advancing tech was sold as a way to make all our lives better. Here is an instance of tech making our lives better, but instead companies dismiss it because the real purpose of tech for the capital class is control.

The non-corrupt ones are a tiny minority and get drowned out by well-funded opposition. If the tide even hints at turning then the billionaires turn to straight-up fascism, as we’re seeing now.

In 2016 both Hillary and Trump had a lower than 50% approval rating and yet they were the frontrunners: pewresearch.org/…/an-examination-of-the-2016-elec…
Congress has a less than 50% approval rating and it’s made up of elected politicians: statista.com/…/public-approval-rating-of-the-us-c…
We don’t have a democracy, we have a system where you can only choose which representative for billionaires you dislike the least. They’re all corrupt, any that aren’t are quickly drowned out by well-funded opposition.
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 2 months ago:
It’s too bad the servers aren’t still up. I loved the multiplayer of Crysis Wars.

I would try eating this. The texture probably wouldn’t be great, but the taste might not be all that bad.

Do you? Control over the medium is far more powerful than being a mere user of that medium.
- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 3 months ago:
Yeah, it’s less “stability in world events” and more so the west riding high off winning the cold war.

The parasites are destroying earth while claiming their dick measuring contest is what will save us.
- Comment on Nvidia's top two mystery customers made up 39% of the chipmaker's Q2 revenue 3 months ago:
Is this a CoreWeave-like setup? Smells fishy. I don’t know how the almost $4.5 trillion market cap is justified.

This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.

I was wondering why specifically men, but this makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

- Comment on mentoring 4 months ago:
Ironically you’re getting downvoted for telling people what they don’t want to hear. It’s tough to compete with someone claiming “you can have all you desire”. It’s similar to how trump won by recognizing what his target audience wants, validating their feelings, but then putting the blame on why they can’t achieve what they want based on all the wrong things.
- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 4 months ago:
The economy is always bad. The idea is to make people feel insecure and desperate so that they take on more/worse work for less pay. They’ll use every excuse under the sun, from “we can’t afford to pay workers” to “AI could do your job” and it doesn’t matter if it’s true because there are fewer companies growing larger who control so much of the employment landscape that they can unify against workers and make it so.

Sometimes it feels like the internet is just a giant rat maze and people chase after whatever the algorithm rewards them for chasing.
- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 5 months ago:
I see clips of this guy in my recommended videos section on youtube all the time. I never click on them and I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips. Either way, I find it odd how signal-boosted this clown is. The gaming-to-politics pipeline is too strong.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 5 months ago:
We should’ve gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I’m being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.
Anyway, that’s just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn’t matter as much as the fact that we’re owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What’s the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it’s often not making our lives better or it’s even making our lives worse.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 5 months ago:
The weird people are still there, but development teams are much larger now, so their input is not as prominent. Plus the budgets are so large that a flop can heavily damage a company or even ruin it, so they’re very risk-averse. We need more AA or A games instead of relying so much on heavy-hitters.
