- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 days ago:
Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.
Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I’m certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).
- Comment on What a great idea 1 week ago:
Can we also make people who still pay for things at a store with a check go to the bad one? It was before the pan, but I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when a lady pulled out her checkbook in front of me at the checkout line. Gtf outta here.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 1 week ago:
Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.
- Comment on X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 1 week ago:
Cowards.

Yes, that’s exactly why we had to stop. She pounced when we weren’t playing and scratched my eye. Luckily, no permanent damage. (I was lying down when she got me.)
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 weeks ago:
“What else can we do that’s hostile to our customers?”
The next move will be bringing back Clippy and then a full-screen ad that you have to dismiss every ten seconds.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. I’ve been doing it for so long (because otherwise my cats would splash the water) that I find it gross when people leave them open to flush.
- Comment on What that steel woolussy do? 2 weeks ago:
Every man who posts the meme should have to use this.

I used to wrestle with one of my kitties and had to stop because it went from cute to painful (for me). She absolutely thought she could kill me.
- Comment on Tom's Hardware now hijacks the back button. 3 weeks ago:
Worked on my Mac. Might be because I have the StopTheMadness extension. It specifically tries to prevent such bullshit.
- Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law 3 weeks ago:
Oh, that’s interesting. My father had our lineage researched and learned that an ancestor took the side of the British during the USA revolutionary war. He had to move to Canada after the colonies won their independence due to a campaign of harassment in which his barn was burned down.
The most interesting thing about it before now was that someone in my family history had supported the other team. Now it might have actual bearing on my life instead of just being a fun story.

And just like that, I found out that the scar is still fresh.
- Comment on The ID_10_ts 4 weeks ago:
Working IT, it’s impressive how many people don’t understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C’mon…
For those who don’t know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.
Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

Sucks to be the person who made that commit. Genuinely.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 4B 5 weeks ago:
I run Movary on my NAS in a docker container so that my partner has a place to add to our watch-list.
I also run a personal kbase that I built on top of Docbase and Markdown files.
And I recently started using HTTP2Shell to throw commands at a local networked device. This is useful to me personally, maybe not for others, because I’ve written my own automations.
I recently considered adding Home Assistant, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen because we have lamps that don’t remain in an “on” state when unplugged; any devices I might buy to add wifi to them wouldn’t actually turn them on remotely as a result. Shame cause there’s one that’s pretty necessary at night that’s between a wall and a sofa that’s pushed back against it because that’s just the layout of the room. I don’t mind manually controlling the others, but that was the one that would have been nice to trigger from my phone. Our thermostat and robot vacuum would have been on the same system, but they already have dedicated apps anyway.
You’re only limited by your imagination and curiosity (and wallet).

I support this message.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 5 weeks ago:
No. We’re just so broken as a society that we allow rich assholes to destroy markets for regular people by betting on overhyped bullshit.
- Comment on THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short 5 weeks ago:
Records have been resurgent for a decade. The person who made this thinks they’re funny and biting, but they are out of touch with the culture.

I country with a working legislative would prevent a market leader from attempting to prevent consumers from exercising their freedom to choose. Oh well.

The best part is how in the end-stages of capitalism, everything keeps getting worse for consumers. While prices go up, even. It’s awesome. /s
- Comment on Swedish hate-crime trial shines light on far-right 'fitness clubs' 2 months ago:
These clubs have been reported upon in the USA as well. Learn about where your kids spend their free time. Extremists are deliberately trying to recruit them while they’re young.
- Comment on Japan asked countries to skip China's WWII commemorative events in Sept. 4 months ago:
Read The Rape of Nanking, by Iris Chang. It’s horrific.
Japan refusing to take responsibility for the atrocities committed by their soldiers is bullshit.
