If you want algorithmic slip then why not just be on corporate owned platforms? The only people that want to feed you slop are those trying to harm you. The fediverse isn’t going to do that, they don’t have a motive for it.

Since when has vibe coding ever been done by some one like that and not the nepo baby son of the CFo who is good at computer
- Comment on Console(s) to TV 2 weeks ago:
My CRT doesn’t have a SCART input but it does have S-Video. I have a scart to S video adapter that I run to the CRT that looks great. I’d run it to a retrotink 5x/4k if you wanted to play on a widescreen flat panel. It looks great but it’s pricey
- Comment on Forever young 2 weeks ago:
The trick is too just play the 20 year old game online still instead of moving on to the newer shooters. Everyone still playing is 30+ and have diminished reaction time as well so you still have a shot lol.

Yeah you can definitely bully AI into giving you some thing that will run if you yell at it long enough. I don’t have that kind of patience

AI can help you be more agile in getting out a PoC but vibe coding always ends up eating itself and you either aren’t capable enough to fix it (because you are a vibe coder) or you spend more time on the back 9, trying to clean up the code so you don’t have so many hacks and redundancy because the AI was too literal or hallucinated fake libraries that return null or its context window expired and it wrote 5 different versions of the same function

I was going to say. The code won’t compile but it will be “finished “

- Comment on Mario Kart DS was released 20 years ago today on November 14th, 2005 3 weeks ago:
Double dash had the best drifting mechanics in the series imo. Really only DS and DD are the only ones who have more than hold a drift long enough for mini turbo as their drifting mechanics
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 3 weeks ago:
I really would like to upgrade to a steam cube as my current PC is about 15 years old just with upgraded RAM, storage, and graphics but i also only play games that came out over a decade ago too

In 10 years piracy will be the only way to play this game

- Comment on OpenAI moves to allow “mature apps” on its platforms 5 weeks ago:
This isn’t refuting your point at all, but if we complain that porn gives young men unrealistic expectations for sex now, wait until they can generate literally anything and that becomes their new normal for their expectations.
(To be fair, they’ve always been able to do this if their imaginations were big enough)

Buy the Call of Duty Warchest for $30 and play CoDUO with us. The best part about PC games is that you can still play the classics online!
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 1 month ago:
Is this some sort of misguided patriotism? I don’t see what the propaganda we are supposedly falling for is. Is it not as equally accurate to say that public opinion and outcry led to it not coming to a vote? I think keeping that public outcry is important to defeat future attempts to undermine rights. Don’t think it can’t happen in the EU. It’s happening if the US
- Comment on Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services 1 month ago:
.ml is moderated to be ideologically one sided. Pro-capitalism is literally not allowed and will deleted. Making a pro-west or anti-China or Russia comment is like a bat signal for .ml admins and users alike to dogpile on your comment.
It’s their right to moderate their instance how they see fit, but removing content on ideological grounds is going to result in people thinking what’s left is propaganda.
For the most part I like .ml users, I don’t care for the admin team and moderator decisions and that’s why I’m not on that instance. I could care less about the fact my instance is defederated from hexbear users or grad users. They do want to be polarizing and live in a propaganda bubble

How about the USA adopts instead? How about that, Tim apple?
- Comment on On the relevance of upvotes in relation to quality and discussion 2 months ago:
Rather than hard-coding an upvote to comment ratio, changing the default sort to effectively put a ceiling on how raw upvotes per comment might be a better way of accomplishing the same goal. And lets it be optional.
An upvote is essentially a boost/re-post on mastodon which says I like this content and think it should be shared. Comments or discussion aren’t always needed for content to be good

- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 2 months ago:
Having a software authentication that can hold multiple keys for MFA. I’d love to switch to a dumb phone but that’s pretty much a requirement and I’ve never found a device for MFA that is as convenient for MFA
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
Following up on this, I think the studio ghibli is a good example of where community adding accessibility in the form of mods or cheats (or fan subs or dubs in the case of ghibli)
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
I agree with making accessible controllers with special layouts and allowing custom control bindings to accommodate those who are differently abled.
Those can be accommodated without meaningfully altering the game. Changing the gameplay is different however. Not that adding more difficulty options is a bad thing, I don’t mean to disparage anyone by calling it fake accessibility, just that I don’t think it’s the same as other options because it fundamentally changes the experience compared to other options that I considered “real”
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
Is it not fair for the game developers’ artistic vision to not be accessible to all? Accessibility is nice, expands the potential audience, but if it compromises my artistic vision and I’m ok with giving up reach and money to preserve it, that doesn’t make my game bad or my vision invalid.
It would be ridiculous to call up the bar or the ama and complain to them that becoming a lawyer or a doctor is not accessible to all.
One last addition, adding control remapping, color options, and text to speech are true accessibility. Easy mode is fake accessibility
- Comment on Statement on discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol by W3C SocialCG 2 months ago:
That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.
- Comment on Statement on discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol by W3C SocialCG 2 months ago:
I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.
I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 months ago:
I think it’s a loss of talent and shuttering of shows across his company’s channels that are leading it. I can only watch so many “reporting verbatim the benchmark results of new tech product” or “I made my family a sleeper desk” or “dark horse home theater for my kid” videos. I’d much rather watch the highly produced “Mac Address” videos with Jonathan or retro gaming systems and setups videos with Anthony but they aren’t a part of LMG anymore.
Riley is doing well on tech linked but he’s talented enough to get a real job and after that, what’s the last interesting thing that LMG has? WAN show clips?
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 2 months ago:
You can fit maybe 5 games at 100 GBs a piece (which is pretty standard for PS5) on an 825 GB drive, not to mention that you have to leave up to 100 GB overhead just to update certain games plus room for the OS. If you have a family then you literally have a situation like mine where I have 1 game installed to the PS5 and Warzone, Fortnite, Roblox, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Marvel Rivals take up the rest of the console storage space
