- Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR? 1 week ago:
Yeah I think it been a Mac feature since like 2018, but more newly adopted in KDE. But either way it’s just a help UX idea, and potential aligns with someone’s behavior of just like moving the mouse fast to verify it’s still working

Probably even earlier why win 95 loved that #008080 rgb:
- Comment on Intel and LG Display may have beaten Apple and Qualcomm with the best laptop battery life ever 1 week ago:
Still 219 PPI compared to 146 PPI at 500 nits brightness for $500. Granted that iPad chip is going to crawl on some stuff. and the MacBook Air, which is likely far more performant than either is like $400 less than the dell. I enjoy all competition but intel chips are still way less performant than the m series in terms of power consumption
- Comment on Intel and LG Display may have beaten Apple and Qualcomm with the best laptop battery life ever 1 week ago:
And
To get the best battery life, you’ll need to settle for 1920 x 1200
On a 16 inch screen that’s gross
- Comment on The US bans all new foreign-made network routers 1 week ago:
And also I’m SURE there will be no backdoors installed in these routers. This was a mutual deal to control information, not just a financial one

- Comment on Can't get better than this 3 weeks ago:
Yeah the obsession of like “make it a home” is weird to me in a world of rising living costs and very few being able to afford a house. My apartment complex just raised my rent $200 this year and that’s low compared to the market. Why the fuck would I put posters or photos up I’m going to have to take down when I can’t afford the next rent increase next year?

Yeah there’s a reason Anthropic was founded by basically the entire OpenAI research team in one go, I can’t imagine working under this guy

It’s a grifter running a site called “aishippinglabs.com” which charges 500 euros for a “closed community of likeminded individuals”. He’s selling ai slop and a discord channel to other idiots who will do exactly shit like this with little understanding of what is going on
- Comment on simpler times 4 weeks ago:
But also implemented incredibly stupidly. You are purchasing a url in a blockchain that points to a server a singular person or org owns in most cases. That gets rid of any point of the blockchain. With enough money I just buy that server, the image url you purchased is now under my control and now it’s porn or something unless you pay me to restore it. There were very few NFTs where the actual thing you’re buying is on a distributed blockchain rather than a pointer to a centralized and privately owned server. In programming terms it’s what rust does to prevent bad pointers with doc.rust-lang.org/…/ch04-02-references-and-borrow…
- Comment on Samsung TVs to stop collecting Texans’ data without express consent 4 weeks ago:
What’s funny to me is instead of making a law all manufacturers would need to agree to, they “reached a deal with Samsung.” This is Texas power grid energy
- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 4 weeks ago:
I mean if you don’t flush your toilet though that will happen too. Just climb in and aim for the drain, what’s the worst that can happen

Well, rainbow tables are really valuable in certain disciplines, just not those rainbow tables
- Comment on big facts 4 weeks ago:
well you eyedrop it into your butthole and then expose your butthole to the sun so the positive solar energy modifies it primally because we’re all made of starlight and that’s just how it works

But do ants taste like soap or cilantro

We need a study on if that’s the divide. If you can smell ants you also think cilantro tastes like soap

- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 months ago:
Ironic that they named themselves on a plot about breaking out of a cycle of control, classic Palantir or Anduril vibes too of like “haha movies good where stonks”

- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 2 months ago:
Not to mention generally enterprise devs aren’t beholden to public launch dates set externally by publishers and therefore end up burning out really fast trying to make a deliverable happen. Not saying that doesn’t happen elsewhere in software, but it’s really common in the games industry

Obligatory Carl Sagan from 1995:
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignoranceCarl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
