History in the making. This is what open source is all about.
- Comment on Microsoft to host security summit after CrowdStrike disaster 2 months ago:
Apologies, I misread your comment as saying you had to use the terminal to use Linux (I was drunk ngl). I still believe Linux is easier to use than Windows with the caveat that the easiest system to use will always be the one you have the most experience with. I switched from MacOS/Windows to Fedora on my personal machine a few months ago and it’s been smooth sailing for me, though I have always used Linux at least somewhat (I work in cyber security), so that has probably helped.
Dismissing Linux as a tool for a different job (ie not personal/business computing) is an odd position to take for someone with your experience.

lol tell me you’ve never used linux without telling me you’ve never used linux

The fact that Facebook are allowing spam pages into this is wild.

I run a Facebook page (periodically). Frequently post things which get 3k+ likes. Facebook has paid me $0.

Big fan of this series.

Last sentence in that last comment.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
You’re getting there. A bank robbery is worse than a car theft, and society does put more resources into preventing bank robberies than car thefts. Maybe we should put more effort into stopping billionaires leeching billions than stopping Joe Schmoe from being on welfare.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
You’re still missing the point lmao. Who gives a fuck about a tiny drop of water when there’s a tidal wave coming for them.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
That’s fair, though we also don’t know how much this individual is getting from the welfare system. At the end of the day I’m far less annoyed by people like this than by billionaires or even just CEO-types who make tens, hundreds, or thousands of times what a normal person makes while providing arguably similar amounts of economic input.
Additionally, while this person’s comment comes across as proud, they more than likely actually need the support the welfare system gives them. There’s probably a reason they only started relying on it since covid.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
Billionaires leech millions of times what a poor person leeches, and yet you’re here complaining about the poor person (who has likely already paid more in taxes than they have leeched).
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
Pretty big assumption here that they won’t pay more taxes than what they get from the government. I paid $20k in tax in the first year of my first non-retail job. If they paid taxes for 7-8 years before covid they probably already paid for themselves.
- Comment on Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer 4 months ago:
Yeah it’s very common unfortunately. I didn’t intend to undermine your contribution or anything. Sorry for that regardless.
- Comment on Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer 4 months ago:
I was also adding to the discussion. You commented something it reminded you of, I commented the difference between the two. This may be an important point for those who are not familiar with either of these technologies.
- Comment on Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer 4 months ago:
Yeah I believe it’s loading everything over the net. I haven’t looked super closely into it. I’m not sure what, if any, practical applications there are for this. Seems like it’s just a fun impractical project. I’m here for it. But you’re right about it being terrifying lol.
- Comment on Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer 4 months ago:
This is different (and far less practical than Apple’s approach). This one doesn’t download the OS and store it, it pulls the files from Google drive every time they’re accessed, so it’s incredibly slow by comparison, but is technically running from the cloud. The Apple one downloads everything it needs and stores it, then pulls from that local copy.
- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
The short answer is that they don’t believe any of the things OP said, or they can overlook them because they believe worse things about Biden/the democrats.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 8 months ago:
Oh yeah I’m sure you predicted LLMs, and that they would need ridiculous amounts of training data wayyyy back in 2005 when Reddit started lol. Super easy to predict. Good job bud.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 8 months ago:
They wouldn’t have posted if they knew this was going to happen. They posted because it was fun, not for this.
They may be morally opposed to AI (as there are many valid reasons to be opposed to it), or they may just have wanted to have been able to make an informed decision before posting, but by retroactively training the AI on their posts they’ve robbed them of the agency to make that decision.
That’s why they’re upset.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 8 months ago:
Why do you think it’s about wanting a slice? They posted on Reddit with no expectation of profit. But they don’t want others to profit off it either. It’s not that complicated.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 8 months ago:
How is not wanting capitalist companies to profit off of your content not aligned with complaining about the capitalist mindset of the world? Wtf lol.

That doesn’t really sound beneficial to me

Come on, Microsoft was obviously worse. Steve Ballmer was atrocious.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test 10 months ago:
That’s cool. I didn’t know that. Obviously no regen braking so won’t ever quite be as efficient downhill as an EV, but I’m glad ICE cars considered this and have a fuel/environment saving solution.

- Comment on World of Goo 2 - Official Trailer 1 11 months ago:
I’ve never played those, I’ll have to look into them. Thanks for the suggestion :)
- Comment on World of Goo 2 - Official Trailer 1 11 months ago:
They did Human Resource Machine, which is a pretty difficult low-level programming-based game, and 7 billion humans, which is a similar low-level programming-based game but incorporating multi-threading concepts.
Neither are super accessible if you’re not into programming, but if you are into it they’re both pretty awesome. I finished Human Resource Machine a few weeks ago and have made a start on 7 Billion Humans, so far so good.
I also played World of Goo and Little Inferno back on the Wii U lol. Very unique games with heaps of character.

I’m sure the Devs will work something out. Tomorrow Corporation have been putting out bangers in between WoG 1 and 2 so I trust them completely.
