- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 3 days ago:
What you’re describing is intentional. Keeping people dumb about the tech they’re using while maintaining messaging like “Facebook works day and night to keep you safe” was the point all along so that people don’t understand what they’re doing. Granted that extends far beyond social media, but still
- Comment on Calm your tits 6 days ago:
Not op but pretty much everything I wear is just a plain color clothing item that looks ok and feels comfortable/fits well. It’s cool to focus on fashion, but for me that ends if you’re covering yourself in industry brands, supporting fast fashion/dumb luxury, or placing people above or below each other based on the perceived value of the cloth and metal they choose to wrap themselves in

Either that or since concealed carry is legal in a ton of states just start firing blindly in every direction and then basically everything you said

I think we need to branch out from just Nintendo. I like the idea of Spyro showing up to the party

lol who the fuck downvoted this. This is objectively a good thing in pretty much any way you spin it

I don’t think that’s a 750 ml, it’s a pretty small bottle relative to the ramen packets. I think that’s actually just a weirdly shaped pint bottle in the second photo

- Comment on Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns. 2 weeks ago:
Yes. That’s the joke. I’m unsure how the burning terminator dying with a thumbs up wasn’t clear enough that there is obviously more to this than just “security concerns”
- Comment on Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update. 2 weeks ago:
Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

I hate this vehemently but you’re getting an upvote
- Comment on Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns. 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, except for one point. It’s in oligarchy. Our “dictator” was just selling cars on the White House lawn. Capitalism won to get to it’s late stages, happy to let racist hatred and russian influence fester for continued capital self-interest

Not to worry, “some cited security concerns.” We’re all set

It’s bad to break copyright if you do it, but it’s fine if they do it to train their models
- Comment on What car stickers say about you 4 weeks ago:
Well of course, but “magic wand” and “power drill” are very different things. The magic wand doesn’t really do any drilling unless you look for specific videos
- Comment on What car stickers say about you 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t have either. What’s the joke?
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. For me it’s very hard to feel the same about software projects that are like “fuck the corporations! Learn more on our discord.” Because the mental gymnastics are wild
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
The worst part about discord to me is that it’s used as a knowledge base for open source projects and games and such. This puts things in a walled garden. I instant get turned off by a thing when the homepage is “join our discord” or I see a comment like “oh it’s explained in the discord.”
It’s only a matter of time before discord becomes paywalled, and all the knowledge out there ceases to be public.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
It’s another tech bubble like the dot com bubble. But at this point, the AI bubble, the crypto bubble, and the capitalism bubble will all crash at the same time as the world economy falls apart and we end up in another global war. I guess the accelerationists that survive will get their wish and see what remains and if it’s the neofuedalist white supremacy utopia they dream of

Unfortunately this isn’t about you, but the 90% of people who don’t understand what AI is at all and don’t give a shit where the responses come from as long as “scorpio dream meaning high school teacher truck” and “can you gregnant with cousin?” Give them answers they like
/s to an extent, but here we are
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 5 weeks ago:
Well, they’re doing what they already have been and absorbing it into teams. Teams video chat is littered with the bits of leftover Skype tech references, they’re just making sure it’s an enterprise product they can bill monthly for instead of a free consumer product
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May 5 weeks ago:
Well yeah “shutting down” here is more like “absorbed” into teams. They don’t make “enough” money from consumers to keep it going, but they do from their teams subscriptions. The tech is and will further be ported to teams and the branding changed.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 5 weeks ago:
Totally makes sense, considering the remaster was perfect. It was just “multiplayer works, we redid the sprites and audio and tweaked the engine to get rid of some of the bugs. Also hit space for original graphics” or whatever the button was. It was everything an OG C&C remaster needed IMO. I would love to see the same with some of these titles, but now that they’re open source it gives the opportunity for better fan made forks, so I’m all for it.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 5 weeks ago:
Im now just happy that it’s far more likely for a clean 60fps mod that’s not locked behind someone’s patreon
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 5 weeks ago:
This feels more like some o.g. Command and conquer devs who have worked at EA for a long time that are passionate about the franchise. There was no big PR release, no product tie in or announcement, no media campaign.
Recovering and restoring the source code for these titles was made possible through the combined efforts of EA technical director Brian Barnes, Respawn producer Jim Vessella, and Luke Feenan, a long-standing member of the C&C community who was involved in the development of the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.
