- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
This is more accurate. China is fucking killing it. Far from perfect but somehow the US has turned into a third world shithole despite having the biggest budget in the world. China takes care of its people and actually sends help when natural disasters hit.

The ad industry is an abusive ex that complains when you defend yourself.

You asleep or something?
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 4 weeks ago:
Nobody is crying about getting arrested. The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process. The people risking their safety know the risks. ICE and the police are breaking the law by obscuring their faces and badge numbers, but you’re complaining about working class folks breaking laws written by the ruling class. Laws that they constantly ignore.
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 4 weeks ago:
Yes, we should follow the laws like our government officials and police always do. Give me a fucking break lmao.
- Comment on Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years 1 month ago:
Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.
- Comment on Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years 1 month ago:
Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.
- Comment on The Arc Browser Is Dead 1 month ago:
Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).
- Comment on The Arc Browser Is Dead 1 month ago:
It’s dead and they’re replacing it with an AI-first browser. Gross.
If you want the main things Arc gives you (vertical tabs, tab groups), you can get them with Firefox or a Firefox spinoff like Librewolf.

Yes! I’ll keep an eye out for the registration.
- Comment on Meta is now a defense contractor 1 month ago:
I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.

- Comment on T-Mobile secretly records iPhone screens and claims it's being helpful. 2 months ago:
Tons of corporate software out there will record user sessions in order to debug issues and replay a user’s interactions so an engineer can review it. Take a look at tools like Hotjar, Logrocket, and Fullstory.
Not making excuses for them and it’s probably less insidious than this makes it out to be, but people should be aware that this is not uncommon at all.
- Comment on SignalFire: startups and Big Tech firms cut hiring of recent graduates by 11% and 25% respectively in 2024 vs. 2023, as AI can handle routine, low-risk tasks 2 months ago:
Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
I refreshed and hacked my 3ds XL recently and have been playing a ton of classics. A few:
- Pokémon HeartGold
- Mario Kart 7
- Shinobi
- Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX
- New Super Mario Bros 2
Getting Pretendo setup has been fun. I can play MK7 online again and there’s always people playing!

I’ve watched a few random ones over the years. No idea who he is.
- Comment on Tesla Full-Self Driving Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason (No Serious Injuries, but Scary) 2 months ago:
I oversold it in my original comment, but it still performs better than using regular cameras like Tesla did. It performs better in weather and other scenarios than standard cameras. Elon is dumb though and doesn’t think LiDAR is needed for self-driving.
- Comment on Tesla Full-Self Driving Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason (No Serious Injuries, but Scary) 2 months ago:
The worst part is that this problem has already been solved by using LIDAR. Vegas had fully self-driving cars that I saw perform flawlessly, because they were manufactured by a company that doesn’t skimp on tech and rip people off.
- Comment on Microsoft blocks emails that contain ‘Palestine’ after employee protests 2 months ago:
Now block emails that contain “Israel” (they won’t because we all know what this is truly about).

At least we got some wild videos out of that I guess? Peak internet days.
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 3 months ago:
I have a Rove camera I got a few years ago. I want to get a second one for the back (I guess they sell a dual kit now).
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 3 months ago:
All I can say is invest in 4k vehicle cameras. Get one facing one and one facing the rear. CYA for when these self-driving Teslas start crashing into everything.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 3 months ago:
OpenAI is like a zombie stumbling around trying to infect everything. We shove it away because it’s fuckin’ gross and we want nothing to do with it, while the bosses that reanimated it are like “well fuck, we made this thing, we have to use it for something.”

It made me mad too which is why I quit and moved on.
- Comment on Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome. 3 months ago:
I used to work for a company that made most of its money from shitty ad pages you get if you type a url wrong and you’d be shocked to see their monthly Google revenue. It’s in the millions.
