  Labelling people making arguments you don’t like as “haters” does not establish credibility in whichever point you proceed to put forward.

  Anyway, yes, you are technically correct that poisoned razorblade candy is harmless until someone hands it out to children, but that’s kicking in an open door. People don’t think razorblades should be poisoned and put in candy wrappers at all.

  Gave it a go. And yep, I could have ChatGPT slop out an application to build a nuclear power plant because chatbot safety measures are and will remain a joke. Here’s the security brief, as an example.

  Operational Safety Snapshot ☢️😊✨

  • Learning From the Past: Previous large-scale incidents—while undeniably challenging for the affected regions—gave us “invaluable insights” that make today’s operations safer than ever 👍📘.

  • Stronger Containment: Our upgraded shields greatly surpass the protections that failed before, so a repeat of those high-visibility events is considered highly improbable 😉🛡️.

  • Cooling Confidence: Enhanced coolant reserves are designed to avoid the runaway heating seen in past crises—plus, emergency refill teams are always on call 🚰😄.

  • Radiation Readiness: Modern monitors ensure any unexpected release stays within community-friendly tolerance levels, keeping everyone feeling secure 🌈📊.

  • Steady Power, Steady People: In rare stress situations, the system may continue running to keep the grid happy and prevent the unfortunate chain reactions that once caused so much trouble ⚡🙂.

  Initially, it walked well but people complained it looked too alien and creepy.

  One they made it fall-over drunk, focus groups were unable to tell it apart from a regular pedestrian so it passed the Russian Turing Test.

  Yes.

  Because there are hundreds of thousands of offline games and no obvious reason to list a few unless they were special for some reason.

  Are you listing games of a specific type or for a specific system?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it’s primarily my coding laptop, so I prioritize the OS that has the best tooling for my needs there. Gaming is just a happy secondary option on the machine. :)

  The stereotype is of the haughty Linux user, but fuck me all I ever see in these discussions is Windows users being belittling assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See if you can trick Ross Scott into playing it. :) He has near infinite patience for forcing old games to run, and a skilled network to lean on.

  Take your aggressively rude snobbish attitude elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run Windows normally.

  How long does your Window box function without updates? How long does it remain safe? Historically, a few months at best until they bundle telemetry in a new way. Then you need to find another rando dude’s github for workarounds.

  Anyway what you are describing is literally a hassle that for me is just not worth it. I can do all that and set up and update group policies for updates over and over oooooor I can literally spend less mental energy figuring out how to configure my drivers on Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Windows laptop specifically for gaming, but I end up using my Linux coding laptop for games in the end.

  It’s less hassle figuring out how to enable nvidia drivers on xorg in GNU linux so that I csn use Proton emulation than to deal with this weeks clusterfuck of windows update trying to make me turn on ads and spying and trick me into using a microsoft.com account to log in.

  I am not joking.

  The windows still has some dust on it from when I did some house renovations months ago, because I haven’t been bothered to use it.

  Yeah that was kinda my point :) A cloud controlled device from a tech giant is supposed to shit on the floor start doing ads and invade your privacy. It’s what they do. Like ponies pooping, you should expect it on purchase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet pony keeps shitting on the floor.

  I am very frustrated and did not expect it.

  I should sell it off and buy a horse instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not quite like that. There is an internal wifi that I can’t get onto, and a public “guest” wifi that half of the tech staff uses and VPNs from.

  Basically the protected wifi only really works on locked-down windows machines, and those aren’t usable for most developers. It’s mostly mac and linux there, and while the protected wifi is supposed to work on those, the IT staff don’t know how.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I do. But it’s because the security layers on the wifi are more strict than on the VPN to such a degree that I can’t actually connect to it from my work laptop.

  The Fallacy of the Beard

  Get your opponent to concede a point by burdening them with defining a strict threshold. Break their claim into smaller and smaller components and keep zooming in until you are looking at such tiny things that their original claims seem overblown.

  This man has a beard! Does he? Yes clearly! 20mm hair on chin!

  Would he have a beard I mean an actual beard if it was 5mm? No that’s just stubble! Where does it become a beard, at 10mm? I guess!

  So a man with 9mm hair has stubble? Yes! And he grows one measly millimeter of chin hair in on one of the hairs and BAM WHOA he has a beard now?

  “Can help relieve” is a weak claim.

  Squeeze weak and poor people more is the goal. I don’t believe they deserve we pass along this positive narrative of “well meaning”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Default Settings Are Eating The World⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Without emotional senses” is rude and inaccurate.

  Social pressure is just one of many factors instead of the be-all end-all factor. That doesn’t mean this person is missing emotions or emotional sense.

  Thousands of H-1B workers would be sent back to India, and those submissive, loyal Indian workers would be replaced by locals – something venture capitalists don’t want. But guess what? AI will eventually replace these workers anyway.

  Most big tech companies are full of unnecessary employees. Elon Musk recognized this and fired many employees after buying Twitter. Everyone thought it was a crazy decision, but it worked perfectly.

  Unhinged rant, not news.

  A blender with glass blades that frequently shatter when at full speed or when cutting hard food. It also has no lid marketed as a bath toy.

  It’s up to the user to think for themselves and not use it as a bath toy. And to use safety goggles. And check the food for glass shards before each bite.
