- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts 4 days ago:
But at what point can we agree that it didn’t?
When it isn’t killing the planet. When it isn’t straining the power grid making power for homes unreliable. When isn’t costing people jobs. When it doesn’t hallucinate. When it isn’t making people dumber.
- Comment on Senators Call for The FTC to Launch an Investigation into Spotify for Forcing Subscribers into Higher-Priced Subscriptions Without Their Consent. 5 days ago:
I have never had this problem but if people are getting tricked/forced into higher tier plans then they need to be investigated.
Once or twice a month I will get a popup when I open Spotify to upgrade to duo plan but I just tap the “X” and move on.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 6 days ago:
Remember the “white genocide in South Africa” nonsense? That kind of rewriting of history.
- Comment on How often do thieves (and identity thieves) actually get caught and served justice? Are there actual examples of law enforcement actually doing anything? (Because I think most cops are just lazy) 1 week ago:
All cops are bad until proven otherwise.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Ads bad. If I want to support a creator I will do so personally not via watching ads. I’ll stop watching YT before I suffer through a single ad.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 week ago:
Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.
This bit stood out to me. Israel has been planning this war since at least November of last year. Israel’s current actions say this wasn’t a simple “what if…” contingency plan that a government comes up with. This was a plan they were going to put into action soon. Makes it even more disgusting to me.
- Comment on OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT 1 week ago:
I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you’ll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.
Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you’ll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it’s because you were never a parent.
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 1 week ago:
Of course the phone is gold. Does it come with a stylus shaped like a golf club and diaper as well? Or are those extra?
- Comment on Republican National Convention sued for sending unhinged text messages soliciting donations to Donald Trump’s campaign and continuing to text even after trying to unsubscribe. 1 week ago:
Blocking worked to stop receiving those messages. Oddly enough no amount of unsubscribing will get the DNC to stop emailing me, multiple times a day.
- Comment on I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days 1 week ago:
And I’ve had two HP laptops work for over 5yrs+ without problem. The only laptop that died in less than a year was a Toshiba.
- Comment on PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut? 2 weeks ago:
No Lord British from the Ultima game series? Ultima, Wizardry and Might & Magic created and defined what an RPG on PC is. I am not familiar enough with Wizardry and Might & Magic to pick a character from them but I feel at least one character from those series should be on the list.
- Comment on 109 children rescued, 244 arrested in Operation Soteria Shield, exposing widespread child exploitation in North Texas 2 weeks ago:
And not a single trans person either I’d bet.
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 2 weeks ago:
Never seen a snake/horse hybrid before?
- Comment on Google Restricts Android Sideloading—What It Means for User Autonomy and the Future of Mobile Freedom – Purism 3 weeks ago:
The pen is the only reason I have stuck with Samsung. If they made a Pixel with a smart pen that I could put GrapheneOS on I’d buy it in a second.
- Comment on BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money 3 weeks ago:
I’m going to entertain this out of curiosity. What do you mean “we can fork BlackRock’s Bitcoin away any time we want”? Do you mean starting a new coin? Because we have seen what happens there. The insiders get all the money and everyone else gets bent over.
- Comment on uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS 3 weeks ago:
I want to buy a used one just play and learn iOS but I fear getting scammed and the device being locked.
- Comment on Reddit sues Anthropic for allegedly not paying for training data | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
It is two screen captures from Clue The Movie. In the top panel Colonel Mustard says “Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?”. In the bottom panel Wadsworth the butler replies “You don’t need any help from me sir.”

- Comment on Apple Plans Split iPhone Launch Strategy: Pro and Foldable in Fall 2026, Standard in Spring 2027 1 month ago:
I was just telling my SO that foldables aren’t “mainstream” because Apple hasn’t made one. Still not interested but I guess foldable phones are mainstream.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives 1 month ago:
The link to Timmy Poopoo not understanding the lesson in respect and common decency Grok was trying to impart is sad and very funny.
- Comment on Breakout 71 - Simple, small and fun FOSS game 1 month ago:
Good fun game if you are brick breaker fan.
- Comment on You never forget your first 1 month ago:
Atari Jaguar. No one I knew had one and the only place to play one was a single game store in a mall that you had to pay to play. I paid twice to play and was in love.
- Comment on Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. 2 months ago:
More confirmation that waiting a year or two before even considering buying a Switch2 is a good idea.
