Well it seems like you think only someone with your interests is. However, by any objective measure more people play FPS competitive games than any variety except sports games.

That’s obviously not true
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 4 weeks ago:
It’s a bit more complex than that. The straight forks are fine for now, but the real concern would be if Gecko gets changed significantly.

Floorp is good
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 5 weeks ago:
The panels all come from two producers (really just one for the very good ones). So, pick whoever you can get the best deal on for your needed featureset and never connect it to the internet.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
That’s more what a consultant is. A “Fractional C[insert function here]O is permanent or at least long-term. It just means the firm doesn’t have the resources and need for a full-time executive in that role. I’ve worked with fractional CTO, CIO, CFO, and CMO executives at different companies and they’ve all been required to have the company, industry, market, etc. knowledge that a non-fractional employee would. Honestly, this concept has been wonderful for small to midsize companies.

- Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing 1 month ago:
They’d have to exclude sanctioned VPN traffic, or the entire financial system doesn’t work at all.

We’re a few major breakthroughs away
We are dozens of world-changing breakthroughs in the understanding of consciousness, sapience, sentience, and even more in computer and electrical engineering away from being able to even understand what the final product of an AGI development program would look like.
We are not anywhere near close to AGI.
- Comment on Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban 2 months ago:
Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.

what?
- Comment on Simpler times? 3 months ago:
Being sexually harassed by two people who refuse to respect boundaries while peers, friends, and school administrators look on and laugh was the “comically terrible” situation in 2006. Given the content of this meme, nothing has changed; which, in itself, is a sad statement about our society.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 5 months ago:
Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.
Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin’s entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.
They’re not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don’t take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin’s a clearly superior choice.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 5 months ago:
2 weeks between charge
Most Garmin watches do this and they offer a modern featureset.

Several dictionary words in series cannot be “easily brute forced.”
You’re out of you’re depth and saying stupid things.
- Comment on Password manager by Amazon 5 months ago:
Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.
- Comment on Questions about DAS 6 months ago:
decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware
This can be true for some, but for a lot of labbers the increased energy cost of enterprise hardware will exceed the cost difference of the NUC over the expected life of the equipment. That doesn’t mean it’s an obvious choice to go the other way; it’s just something you should consider.

- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 9 months ago:
Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

User base size dictates development resources. If you want Linux mobile to be daily driveable, you do need widespread adoption.

- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 10 months ago:
Maybe some tech has increased efficiency (although, when it does that increase is more often than not temporary and short lived), but there is even more “tech” that swarms that space rent seeking any time, money, or other resource saved by that increased efficiency. After the efficiencies degrade, the tech-as-a-scam persists and you end up with less efficient systems than you started with.
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 10 months ago:
For the past 20 years, tech has promised to make things more efficient while making almost everything more complicated and less meaningful. Innovation, for innovation’s sake, has eroded our craftsmanship, relationships, and ability to think critically.
I feel this in my bones.
