- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 23 hours ago:
Bruh how is creating and distributing a non-consensual nude-ified picture of a young girl not a cause for suffering for the victim? Please, explain that to the class.
Did you just not go to school as a kid? If so, that would explain your absolute ineptitude on this topic. Your opinion is some real “your body, my choice” kind of energy.
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 6 days ago:
Thanks for the story. That was a fun read.
- Comment on Polish radio station abandons use of AI 'presenters' following outcry 2 weeks ago:
Those are all jobs a human could have. That’s a reason to be upset if you ask me.
- Comment on Someone make an app 3 weeks ago:
This is better than an app. It can’t violate your right to privacy by selling all your data to capitalists.
- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 1 month ago:
I’d consider accounts with only a single game most likely to be bot or cheater accounts. I wonder what the percentage would be.
- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 1 month ago:
What the fuck is up with this kind of behaviour on Lemmy tonight? So many people flying off the handle at the slightest hint of disagreement.
You need to chill the fuck out. Also, if they’re a world-class projector they should open a drive-IN not a drive-thru. This is cringy ass behaviour. Smh

Your body and your wallet will thank you.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 2 months ago:
If you don’t mind trading sound quality for convenience, I suppose. Bose has been a snake oil provider for decades.

I see what you did there.
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 2 months ago:
I’d argue this as well. I see it in a similar way. Linus is obviously not trying to sit on some high horse and condemn piracy, he’s just calling a spade a spade.
- Comment on FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported 2 months ago:
New account = new TOS I imagine?
- Comment on What are some video games that you would show up to a local tournament for? 2 months ago:
Sim Racing. (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, or Richard Burns Rally).
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
Have you not heard of the Steam Deck? Steam’s own hardware is running Linux for gaming… SteamOS is Linux…
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
KDE really is nice. It can be a little bit buggy when messing with themes and panels and stuff but overall its nice. I’ve got it looking like waybar and I’m really enjoying it.
- Comment on Hyper Light Breaker has been delayed again 2 months ago:
Hyper Light Drifter was so unbelievably excellent. I have very high hopes for Breaker. Let them cook.
- Comment on How come it seems for the past decades the Catholic Church has been plagued with sex crimes especially among young boys? How long has this been going on? Or did I just miss something up. 2 months ago:

You’ve got the burden of proof backwards, pal.

- Comment on A US judge just called Google the ‘highest quality search engine’. But how do we determine ‘quality’? 3 months ago:
Also:
Search engine quality determined exclusively by the folks that consistently mistake their Facebook status update field for a search engine.

Surely this is satire… Right?
- Comment on Musk's X sues advertisers over alleged 'massive advertiser boycott' . 3 months ago:
Don’t underestimate him. He’s shown he’s a spoiled brat, but he’s not shown that he’s incapable of elaborate and spiteful plots to get his way.
A smart decision in his eyes might be a dumb one in ours but that doesn’t mean he’s actually stupid.
Writing him off as an idiot is a one way ticket to being blindsided while you’re distracted by something else.
- Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲) 3 months ago:
That depends on your use case for desktop linux of course. For me, yabridge is the tool I needed to run VSTs on Linux. Its CLI only as far as I know.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not afraid of the CLI. Its just some tools are assuming the end user is a server admin or someone with deeper than the upper crust knowledge of how Linux works.
- Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲) 3 months ago:
The mistake is the assumption of a certain level of end user knowledge.
- Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲) 3 months ago:
Honestly, as a newbie to Linux I think the ratio of well documented processes vs. “draw the rest of the fucking owl” is too damn high.
The rule seems to be that CLI familiarity is treated as though its self-evident. The exception is a ground-up documented process with no assumptions of end user knowledge.
If that could be resolved I think it would make the Linux desktop much more appealing to wider demographics.
That said, I’m proud to say that I’ve migrated my entire home studio over to linux and have not nuked my system yet. Yet… Fortunately I have backups set up.

- Comment on Unsolvable epic store captcha 4 months ago:
What browser are you using? Some browser features have caused issues like this for me in the past. Specifically privacy-focused browsers like LibreWolf and Vanadium.
- Comment on NBC to use AI-generated version of Al Michaels' voice during Summer Olympics 4 months ago:
Greeting viewers by name? Not in my fucking house. AI should be a tool to rid humanity of undesirable work. Instead its replacing humanity in every field where humanity is the main event. Why the fuck would I ever want to listen to a fucking robot while I watch the Olympics, or anything for that matter?
Buy dumb TVs. Make your next phone a Pixel and install Graphene OS. Ditch Windows/MacOS for Linux. Use ProtonMail. Run a Pi-Hole on your network. Do anything you can to take control of your digital footprint in any way.
Don’t let corporations freely suck your data dry and exploit your life for profit while force feeding you their elaborate fakery. Its impossible to insulate yourself from it all but any step towards digital privacy is the right step to take.
- Comment on Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms 4 months ago:
None of those tools has ever made a full releasable track for anyone, just like the tape machine never created music out of nowhere.
- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 4 months ago:
It happens when your girlfriend is extremely unstable by default, even more so after a fight, comes to your parents house drunk in the middle of the night and essentially shames you for trying to reject her advances while simultaneously being physical about it by forcing you down and assuming you’re playing some mind game while you try your best to avoid waking your parents in the next room and making a scene cause she’s being loud and borderline belligerent. The sheer embarassment is enough for personal boundaries to get absolutely stomped on in that situation.
Life is living among infinite shades of grey. Every situation has nuance that you might not have thought of.
