This rules. I love finding places like that.
- Comment on The fuck is the point 2 days ago:
Yeah, we have a few local places that will do to-go orders, so we give them our money instead. The last few times where we grabbed fast food because we were traveling or just super busy, it was just a shit experience. I’m okay parting with my money if it’s going back into a local business.
My wife and I have also started shopping in smaller grocery runs. So we will buy food for like 3 meals ahead of time, and then do it again after a few days. We find that we have much less food waste and we make less impulsive decisions. I just wish veggies didn’t suck so much now.
- Comment on The fuck is the point 2 days ago:
What even is the point of fast food now?
- ✅ Fast
- ❌ Good
- ❌ Cheap
It has jumped the shark and serves no purpose now, other than screwing working class people in food deserts out of their hard-earned money.
- Comment on What are some good, populated multiplayer games that have a free-for-all mode? 2 days ago:
You can still find populated Quake 3 servers out there. That’s always fun, especially Instagib with the rail gun.

Yeah, across the board participation. Because of heavy lobbying.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 3 days ago:
This was my reply in another thread about this bullshit:
“It’s just a harmless field; what’s the big deal?”
The big deal is that it’s on the heels of age verification bullshit that fascists are pushing through with the help of tech bros, so that they can eventually push all of us into a scenario where we have zero privacy.
It’s not the adding of the field itself or the fact that it can be filled with nonsense. It’s the reasoning backing it.
“But it’s the law!”
Yeah, fucking and…? It’s a stupid mass surveillance law disguised as a protection, and per usual, it’s written like vague dog shit. This is the smallest part of the wedge. More will come of this and if developers like this keep volunteering themselves to help the fascists, we will all be fucked. Here’s an alternative approach: just don’t add this. You can fight back by not fucking implementing this. Easy.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 4 days ago:
This has pay-to-play written all over it. It’s also opening a door to US companies capturing a market, which you know is going to mean the US government gets a big ol’ backdoor. Suddenly Meta is in the router market… 💀

Damn, that explains why I wanna nap whenever I’m bored. I wanna nap during work half the time.
- Comment on I hate how true this is. 1 week ago:
The older I get, the more I appreciate sleep. If your body is telling you to nap, do it. It’s worth it.
- Comment on Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing 2 weeks ago:
The US at the behest of Israel. The US has no strategy or plan for Iran, but Netanyahu has wanted this for 49 years. Subjugating and defeating Iran is a key part of the “Greater Israel” plan. This is Israel puppeteering the US to do its bidding.
- Comment on Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing 2 weeks ago:
100% spot on. They’ve managed to make a bunch of Christian nationalists believe that Israel’s “Greater Israel” plan that Netanyahu himself has wanted for 40 years, is part of their own Christian story. That’s why all of those reports came out about US military leadership telling soldiers that this was some sort of scripted divine war. The US is just Israel now. We funded a terrorist regime, it surpassed us, and now we’ve become a part of it.
- Comment on Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing 2 weeks ago:
No, it was Israel. They can use this as cover. Now suddenly OpenAI and Claude are at fault. Oops! Israel excels at bombing civilian targets and schools. Biggest bunch of fucking cowards I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, I used to manage a colocated Apache server back in the mid 2000s.
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 2 weeks ago:
The AI bubble is getting ready to burst.
The desperation here lmao
As part of its strategy, Oracle has begun requiring clients to help build infrastructure, per the CIO report, citing TD Cowen. This effectively translates to asking clients to shoulder part of the cost, according to the investment bank.
- Comment on Can AI do 40% of your job? Block’s Jack Dorsey thinks so. 3 weeks ago:
AI could replace CEOs. As soon as you throw that out there, all the CEOs are like “woah now, hold on, you’re taking it a bit too far…”
AI is a rich asshole’s wet dream. An employee that will work 24/7, doesn’t require benefits or PTO, and can complete a task faster? They’re all in.
I’m really not sure what kind of world they want but I see patterns:
- A government that pushes anti-vaccine rhetoric and suggests unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities
- Zero worker protections
- Largest prison population in the world
- Ruining both food and education
- Poisoning minds and social circles with infighting bullshit
🤔 Seems like they want the poor class to either be enslaved or dead. They’re going to turn the US into Gaza. A captured audience that either works for peanuts and owns nothing, or dies off and is no longer a burden on the rich.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
Yep. Maintaining anonymity across platforms requires constant effort. It also helps to just not have any accounts on any mainstream social media platforms.

I’m okay going beyond just punching Nazis. We should string them up publicly like Mussolini and let them fry in the sun, while people throw things at them until they’re dead. Fucking tired of this dumbass country.

- Comment on X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out 2 months ago:
Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.

I don’t use any of them but Twitter has been rife with dipshits and racists for a long time now.

They could be using a platform that isn’t owned by a Nazi. Best approach though is using zero of them because fuck social media.

There’s this other thing called Bluesky.
