- Comment on Two conversational AI agents switching from English to sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents 5 days ago:
And before you know it, the helpful AI has booked an event where Boris and his new spouse can eat pizza with glue in it and swallow rocks for dessert.

- Comment on Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores 2 weeks ago:
Collective viewing is still best on a TV.
If you are alone there may be functionally little difference between sitting on the couch watching TV and lying in bed with a smartphone balanced on your chest, but as soon as you’re sharing the viewing experience at all there’s still value in having a big shared screen.

- Comment on Copyright madness: YouTube seems to doubt whether Shakespeare is in the public domain. 2 weeks ago:
A good article on Walled Culture, marred by its being illustrated with AI slop. Surely a normal, real public domain Shakespeare image could have illustrated the point of the article just as well, if not better.

- Comment on We still have three eggs up for auction. 4 weeks ago:
In rural areas of the US it’s more of a thing.
In most suburban areas of the US your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate the smell of chicken poo wafting into their yards, and if you have a rooster you’re definitely making enemies of your neighbors who don’t appreciate the unsolicited wakeup call at silly o’clock AM every day.
In cities it’d be very difficult to find the space to do any of it. I knew one city dealer who briefly kept a couple chickens on a small apartment-building rooftop area they happened to have access to; the chickens there were filthy and unhealthy without access to foraging or clean spaces and they were always fighting with pigeons and each other.
- Comment on Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop 1 month ago:
In around 2005 or so I went back to look at a Usenet newsgroup which had been a major part of my online life in the 1990s. All the people had gone, but the spambots were still there and the entire group was just bot spam posted at nobody and read by no one. The bots were even replying to one another’s threads. A forum where multiple IRL human friendships had been forged over the years was nothing more than grifting robots spamming at each other.
It’s fully 20 years later and the same shit is going down with a new coat of paint.

It’s an Ethernet port. For some reason Apple decided

One can also undo the curse of reposting text as a screengrabbed image file.
Support local bands. Go to their shows. Tell them they suck to their face. Unplug the bassist’s instrument cable. Demand free merch after. Get drunk as fuck in the parking lot. Fight their drummer. Support. Local. Bands.

- Comment on Got it on pre-order 4 months ago:
No matter what else they ever do, the greatest artistic achievement of DreamWorks will always be naming their villain “Fuckwad” with the spelling tweaked just enough to sneak past not only the censors, but multiple generations of oblivious family-film-going parents.
