I’d never go outside again
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 4 days ago:
As an open source developer, I’d love to have had contributors to help package my apps. It was killing me maintaining everything by myself. It sounds like the control issues I had when I first had contributors, where I didn’t want others to touch my babies too much when people actually started writing code.
- Comment on Thinking Is Becoming a Luxury Good 6 days ago:
I mean I’d the Stage of Technology we’ve been in since like 2010 has been very detrimental for the individual and destructive to society. Social media, smartphones, surveillance states. AI is an even worse version of these. If social media ran by billionaires are not open, unbiased, non-manipulative emotional-reactaction-over-critical-thinking silos, what makes you think all these LLMs run by millionaires and billionaires won’t be? They’re just the next step in social media.
- Comment on Hackers prove age verification systems on pornography sites can be bypassed in seconds 1 week ago:
It’s more about data collection than it is about verifying age
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 1 week ago:
My only exception to that are uber drivers. But then again we live in an age where somehow better help has become popular, even though they sell your data.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking 1 week ago:
But can you do it detectably? Because that’s just as easy. This isn’t 95
- Comment on OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking 1 week ago:
My bank uses that and personal info, and I have to be calling from a registered number.

I had such a pain trying to get a consistent client working on mobile.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really worry about that. I treat it like natural conversation, or traditional chat rooms. I mean I don’t need a recap when I show up at a party. I just jump in. I’ve never heard of a bouncer, but I think it would turn it into more of a feed than a conversation, which is the opposite of what I want.
I’m tired of feeds and timelines. AOL chat rooms were my formative internet years, and I liked that. I think the old style of internet communication is better than the feed silos we have now. Besides, I hardly ever go back and look at older convos in other spaces. I usually hit mark all as read when I open the app.

I don’t know why people don’t use irc, I’m in it daily and it’s busier than Matrix, and even busier than some Discord servers I’m in. And there’s mobile clients. There’s even way less bots and spam
- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 4 weeks ago:
I like indie games for walking sim and story heavy games only. Outside of that, 99% of indie games feel like some pixel art bs retro rip off roguelike nostalgia cash grab. I hate garbage ware like meatboy, etc.
If AAA studios weren’t so shitty, I feel like half of the indie studios wouldn’t have a chance.

indeed. new experiences should be remembered…like a human.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 4 weeks ago:
Bad code. Guinea pig owners. Cars not communicating with each other. Relying on just the car’s vision and location is stupid.
- Comment on Just trying to escape the present 1 month ago:
Yeah I couldn’t focus on modern games because of anxiety last night, so I fired up DOSbox and had a good time with doom and chopper commando

I’m using like 30 block lists with over 1,900,000 blocked domains. There is a site that had a bunch of blocklists and I just grabbed most of them
- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 1 month ago:
I think it’s my LG TV. But it has its own service that I also block.
Here is the service from xfinity that I’m talking about. It’s relatively new to my network and has increased my blocked percentage by a lot. Mind you, I have 1,900,000+ domains on my blocklist
- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 1 month ago:
So does your isp, and uses that for targeted ads. My pihole is constantly blocking a domain ran by xfinity that collects data for their targeted ad service

That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.
- Comment on Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging. 1 month ago:
This is why I’ve switched back to the old internet. Chat like irc/matrix for social interaction. RSS for information. And webrings for browsing the personal garden websites that used to constitute the internet before social media took over. It’s been great.
The good internet magazine has been writing about this and is my inspiration
As well as the internet history podcast.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 1 month ago:
Omg I owned untold legends when I bought my psp at release. I loved that game but my little brother destroyed my psp like a month after I bought it with my first job. I could never remember the game’s name
- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 1 month ago:
People really trust it? Like it’s been so wrong on things for me, I automatically skip to search results past it. Why bother anymore
- Comment on Party like it's 1999. 1 month ago:
I really need to try to play it. My computer lab at school growing up was lacking. We had Oregon trail, chopper commando, etc.
I haven’t played a ton of old games besides doom, Age of empires, etc.
Although I played Warcraft and original counterstrike at a pc bong once.
My main experience with older pc games is like 2002-2007, when I finally was able to save and buy my own PC.
