And then what? Live in a world where everybody hates you? Fucking stupid.

And this is how you create more antisemites. These have to be the dumbest organized people that can’t see past their noses. What a bunch of losers.

Fully agree. I’m generally an AI optimist but I don’t understand communicating through AI generated text in any meaningful context - that’s incredibly disrespectful. I don’t even use it at work to talk business with my somewhat large team and I just don’t understand how anyone would appreciate an AI written thank you letter. What a dumb idea.

100% and I’m an early adopter of all decentralized platforms but I still run IT of my all extended family and have a few connections through these platforms so even with my limited use I’m still exposed to so many scams. I can’t imagine what a daily normal user sees, it must be just scam after scam.

There are several domains specific search features like duckduckgo bangs that allow you to directly search popular websites with text like
interstellar !imdb- it’s super useful! I think firefox has something like this built in too. - Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer 2 weeks ago:
They can’t ban all VPN IPs though
- Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer 2 weeks ago:
Nice but all I want is actually liability. Meta should be hold liable for each and every single scam ad and here in south-east asia it’s just rampant.
I see nothing but blatant scams, especially on Meta platforms. I don’t mean simple e-commerce scams either where you buy some trash and it never gets sent to you - it’s full on phishing and finance scams.
I just dont understand how are we collectively ok with this - every platform should have the burden of full liability, period. If someone gets their money taken through scam ad not only Meta should pay them back but suffer a 100x fine as well. The unskippable ad is nothing compared to this.
- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 2 weeks ago:
I really want to like the game but haven’t got a single enjoyable match in like 20 I tried. The graphics and environmenta are stunning I just don’t get the gameplay. It’s like first 10 minutes of a battle royale over and over without the rest of it.

I think you don’t understand how world reserve currency works. It has to be at least influencable by other countries. Nothing can influence Yuan - it’ll never be a world reserve currency.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Why use authoritarian currency?
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Lmao give China more power
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Right now the POTUS can shut down the European economy with an EO ordering cloud providers to stop servicing European banks.
That would be a straight up declaration of war though and if that happens broken e-commerce would be the least of our worries.
The real reason to develop alternatives is to simply keep money and power away from US as that’s the only thing US really cares about.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
My take is that US is already on massive decline. I’m not an american but I am a big fan of US and I’ve never seen US this weak even if you ignore how ugly it is under current leadership. I honestly don’t know how US will ever recover from this trump presidency and it seems like nothing but down hill from here.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
China fundamentally can’t be the world leader as it’s incompatible with the rest of the world it would have to lead. Here we are talking about this on american led internet - not Chinese great firewall. The only thing people want from China is the stuff they make not the Chinese culture or leadership.
The reason why US is so successful at leading the world because it’s basically a giant haven for other world cultures which makes it easy to integrate anywhere.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 2 weeks ago:
Very much agree with this argument though it’s not new. IP law has always been a secret weapon against US which is mostly a service economy country.
EU just seems too weak to take advantage of this though
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Have you looked into streaming from a desktop? I’m using sunshine/moonlight to stream my video editor from gaming PC to Thinkpad and it works really well! The quality and responsiveness is really good these days to the point where it’s hard to even tell it’s a stream.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
This is a common security fallacy as sure you might not drop your laptop like you’re not crashing your car but once you hit something it’s nice to have airbags right? People pay several thousand dollars to recover hard drives of dropped laptops and can you imagine being in such stressful position? So a bit of safety goes a long way.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Weight is definitely old of those things that you only notice when you notice but it’s still just a nice to have rather that critical feature. Like a more ergonomic keyboard etc. Many good parts make a good machine.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
You need internals protected from basic shock. Macbooks are notoriously very poor regarding drops while you can play volleyball with a plastic thinkpad.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Hard disagree, macbooks have some of the most unergonomic and awful frame design. The sharp corner alone are just so peak stupidity.
I think people fall for “heavy == quality” falacy way too often here especially since the aluminum frame is actually worse at protecting the internals.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Not sure what you mean by that? Macbooks aren’t good laptops to begin with.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
It does make a difference, especially when the gains are so massive. Personally I don’t care much for it but free weight loss is free weight loss. Hopefully this tech gets adopted by other laptop brands.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Tbf half the weight is huge gains. There a big difference between carrying 2 kilograms and 1.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
I agree, LG is a pretty awful brand all around but I really like the idea of new lighter materials used in consumer hardware. Moving away from plastics to metal frames has been nothing but a fashion mistake.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think your personal anecdote is grounded in any meaningful reality. Laptop tech has been mostly solved for better part of a decade now and even cheap aliexpress laptops are built well enough to hold for years.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Most non-gaming laptops since 2010 don’t really make noticeable noise

- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 3 weeks ago:
Honest question - why do you prefer this?
There’s nothing bleeding edge in cars these days except for security and drive train features. I have 2 cars - new EV and 15 year old economy Toyota and honestly aside from drive train itself there’s nothing I can find in the new car that makes me feel like my old car is missing something important.
Car technology has stagnated so bad that “deny list” approach makes no sense since the innovation potential is so incredibly poor. We lose safety and uniform UX for what? Fashion? It’s kinda stupid.
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 3 weeks ago:
Good, it’s such an incredibly stupid design. Literally no one was bothered by a slight handle for better UX.
