Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 1 week ago:
I quite like kagis universal summarizer, for example. It let’s me know if a long ass YouTube video is worth watching
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 2 weeks ago:
So you want Kagi
- Comment on Why the recent Mozilla news isn't actually a big deal 2 months ago:
How about they cut executive pay instead of fucking the rank and file over
- Comment on YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams 3 months ago:
During my most recent job search, the most annoying thing I saw was “resume consultants”
They’d reach out like an interested recruiter, but very quickly get to the sales pitch
- Comment on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families of children harmed online at hearing 3 months ago:
Apologies are free and valueless
- Comment on CEOs say generative AI will result in job cuts in 2024 3 months ago:
Can we start with the CEOs? Pretty sure shatGPT can do their jobs easily
- Comment on X removes support for NFT profile pictures 4 months ago:
Best thing Elon has ever done right here
- Comment on Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO 4 months ago:
IFunny is unironically better
- Comment on What are some essential browser extensions for "quieting down" the internet? 4 months ago:
go to read article about fixing annoying internet shit
some big stupid pop up interrupts my reading internet shit, pestering me for my email address
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 5 months ago:
Seriously. I had a friend extolling how good his experience with his chiropractor was, in response to my tale about physical therapy after a skiing accident. I ended the argument pretty quickly by asking “how often do you have to go back”
- Comment on Stable Diffusion XL Turbo can generate AI images as fast as you can type 5 months ago:
The author can’t type very quickly
- Comment on The Feds' Vehicle 'Kill Switch' Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy | Jon Miltimore 5 months ago:
Or lawnmower man
- Comment on How large pull requests can exacerbate complexity and slow down development 5 months ago:
I’ve only ever worked in one codebase that didn’t need feature flags, and even then we could have used them.
- Comment on How large pull requests can exacerbate complexity and slow down development 5 months ago:
Graphite is ok, but honestly it’s a solution in search of a problem
Maybe if you have a massive pr, splitting it up like this works, but that’s really a planning failure. Stories should be smaller, and if you need to keep them separate for a long time, use feature branches
- Comment on Google is moving Shopping List and other notes back into Google Keep 5 months ago:
Great, it will now have a fraction of the features AnyList had, before Google killed the integration for no good reason
- Comment on Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts. 6 months ago:
Halo does it that way too
- Comment on Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO 6 months ago:
Is this the same CEO who fired the entire documentation team and then gave herself a raise?
- Comment on Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM 6 months ago:
Best? Kagi. Best free? Probably bing
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 6 months ago:
Paywalled article 🙃
- Comment on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€ 6 months ago:
For me the problem with AW, more than the boring gameplay loop, is the weird episodic format they shoehorned into it. You’d just be getting into the groove of the game, used to the annoying combat and stealth and such, and then it yanks you out of it and you have to watch an end of episode cutscene, and then a new episode cutscene, just to continue on
- Comment on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€ 6 months ago:
Control is awesome. I was hoping AW2 would be more like control, but from what we’ve seen in the media that doesn’t seem to be the case. Still holding out hope
- Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan 6 months ago:
I have 10 gig at home, and powerful enough networking hardware that can take advantage of it (Ubiquiti stuff)
Nothing can ever saturate the line. So it’s great for aggregate, but that’s it
- Comment on Whose voice is it anyway? Actors take on AI copycats 6 months ago:
Honestly, for games, it’s got even more potential. Imagine if the NPCs in games actually said your characters name, not just “dragonborn” or whatever
Imo the smart thing for VAs to do would be get in front of it. License their voices to models, and charge royalties for said models
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2 reportedly runs with 7-12fps on an Intel Core i9 13900KS with AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX at 4K/High Settings 6 months ago:
Considering skylines is basically the only surviving city sim franchise, not much
- Comment on Has HP printers always been this bad? 6 months ago:
No. They used to be extremely good
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 6 months ago:
I can guarantee you that if SA were released today it would be riddled with micro transactions and covered in dlc
Sandbox mode basically wouldn’t exist
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 6 months ago:
From what I’ve seen the road building is far better and basically incorporates all the “retired” mods
I’m sad that zoning is still essentially the same as how SimCity did it in 1989, as I really want mixed use, but that’s a minor quibble
- Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google 6 months ago:
They should have IPOd in 2020, like everyone else did, but they didn’t. Why is anyone’s guess. Greed, skeletons in the closet, or whatever, doesn’t really matter, they missed the boat
- Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google 6 months ago:
Even their recipe search is abysmal
Look up something like schnitzel and you’ll have 7 paragraphs of AI slop, telling you about the author, the history of the dish, the weather, a new cookbook for sale, before you get to the actual recipe
