- Comment on I just saw that Mick Jagger is attending Jeff Bezos's wedding when did he sell out? 1 day ago:
That’s a pretty insane threshold. I say that as a die hard underground metal fan.
- Comment on ! Mastodon new ToS from July 1has a binding abbreviation wave !!r 6 days ago:
That doesn’t negate the value of having them participate in the conversation though.
- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 1 week ago:
The stone age = any time before 2005 apparently 🙄
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 week ago:
Black holes don’t just roam around looking for planets to snack on.
Don’t be so sure. There’s plenty of cases of black holes devouring entire star systems. There’s so many black holes just drifting around that you could make a case that they are just roaming around looking for their next snack.
- Comment on Is it wrong or uncommon to judge people primarily on their worst moments/acts? 1 week ago:
If I saw anyone harm any animal intentionally outside of self-defence, that’s an instant and permanent write off. I’d literally take any opportunity to talk shit about said person beating animals and would take pride in beating their ass if the moment was right.
Anyone hurting animals gets a big ol’ irrevocable “fuck you” from me.
There’s like 8 billion people on this planet you can be friends with. Don’t roll with or enable abusers.

Phobophile rules.

Bitburner is pretty cool too.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 2 weeks ago:
You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.
It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.
- Comment on 007 First Light - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 2 weeks ago:
Yeah man, all of this except for the balls part. Shit’s a bit too much for me bro and I was there in the 90’s. You do you though, I guess. 🤷
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 2 weeks ago:
Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!
- Comment on My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts 3 weeks ago:
Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.
And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.
You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.
For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.
AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.
- Comment on Meta plans to use AI to automate up to 90% of its privacy and integrity risk assessments, including in sensitive areas like violent content 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, I’ve always thought the best use case for AI is moderating NSFL content online. No one should have to see that horrific shit.
- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, they were all stepping in phase with each other. Pretty cool physics going on there.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow on how we lost the internet 3 weeks ago:
Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)
- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 3 weeks ago:
Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.
This is only the case if they’re making identical sounds in phase with each other. The real life scenario of people walking would not scale in this way as there are too many variables. No two footsteps are the same no matter how hard you try.
- Comment on AI cheating surge pushes schools into chaos 4 weeks ago:
I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.
I always refused because I was stubborn.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 4 weeks ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding the concept of priority.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 4 weeks ago:
Sounds to me like you’re not considering that they likely have a massive list of priorities to address and a flashlight attachment is simply not even close to the top of the list.
Nothing exists in a vacuum.

Does anyone onow if there is a NOYB equivalent in North America?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
In Peru (and some islands in the Pacific as well IIRC), some regions have nine digit numbering plans. This may have been a call from one of those areas. More likely its spam.

You’re self-filtering yourself from the community. Based on these interactions, I think you’re doing the lord’s work. Keep it up!👍

You can click “Do not recommend channel” or “Not interested” on these recommendations to filter them out.

C’mon man. Social anxiety isn’t some niche mystery. Cut OP some slack.
- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 1 month ago:
I’m not a scientist but wouldn’t the atmospheric pressure need to be insane to bring the boiling point of water to 500°C? Is that even possible?
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 1 month ago:
REAPER rules. I started on ProTools in 2010. Ditched it for Reaper in 2012 and never looked back. Best $60 I ever spent. I’ve gladly bought multiple licenses for my devices over the years.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 1 month ago:
White teeth are commonplace with people that post videos and images of themselves online on a daily basis. I would hesitate to refer to any videos with an influencer vibe as being reflective of the average in North America.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 1 month ago:
Nobara or Bazzite are your best Linux options for gaming. I’ve been on Nobara for over a year with nothing but good things to say about the distro and its community.

Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.
