He should know, he’s the one that put a shotgun in its mouth over a decade ago.

We need a decent replacement for this, stat. Once they go into IPO mode it’s gonna get real shitty, real fast.

Yes I know. Real sports have “motor” in front of them. lol
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 day ago:
Counterpoint- all sports are silly. That’s why they are called games.
I don’t dunk on wrestling fans anymore because people are free to enjoy whatever they want. But it’s always been like this. It didn’t change - you did. Personal growth!
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 day ago:
I mostly played video games in between intense bursts of productivity to get work done.
Yes, I was doing this before remote work was a thing. You just have to be slick. I once set up a “lab” of three PCs to “test some new software” in a back room and then played Birth of the Federation on one of them while the other two ran perf counter output, for 3 months straight. This was an act of desperation to keep my mind busy. They had laid almost everyone off in the company so I didn’t have much to do, but it started a tradition that carried me all the way to retirement!

That is an important point that I missed in what I read of the article before I got grossed out. Thanks. I’m still not sure about this line of research because if (when?) they do make something that achieves a level sentience, consciousness, or even just being able to feel, will it be able to signal to us that it is happy, content, in agony, mental anguish, etc? The thought of being trapped in that situation is terrifying.
- Comment on Musician Who Died in 2021 Resurrected as Clump of Brain Matter, Now Composing New Music 5 days ago:
Yeah and it was just a bunch of sedated live rats pinned to little trays with their brains exposed and a bunch of shit stuck everywhere into their bodies that I had to see while working on the lab computers.
I’m not going to get into an argument about whether there’s value in animal research (I think there is) but there’s some horrifying shit that comes with it, and I’m just pointing out that I’ve directly worked with plenty of scientists that are completely unfazed by that shit. So while it may be a few cells on a mesh now, they won’t stop at that.
- Comment on Musician Who Died in 2021 Resurrected as Clump of Brain Matter, Now Composing New Music 5 days ago:
The hard truth is that there are a lot of completely un-empathetic scientists out there.
Some of the shit I saw them doing to animals when I worked for Baxter still makes me sick when I think about it. And I only had to go into that lab a couple times.

Technically correct, but since it has never happened, it has also never gotten any harder.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 1 week ago:
I guess you are saying you only run Kodi? Yes it is Kodi with the jellyfin plugin talking to a jellyfin server that is the source of the few woes I have with it. Honestly it works really well, but when something is wrong I would say due to the UI it’s beyond most non-technical people to sort it out easily.
- Comment on Meta is failing to stop dangerous disinformation in the world’s most spoken languages. 1 week ago:
Uh yeah. What else is new? This is why nobody should be using ANY of their stuff. They are objectively a force bent on social destruction for profit. By using any of their services or buying any of their products, you are contributing whether you agree with them or not.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 1 week ago:
I mean, it’s free and it does work, so I won’t complain, but I wouldn’t push this on any but my most technical friends.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 week ago:
Doing my part to make this a good post, cause it was.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 1 week ago:
I use Kodi with the jellyfin plugin, but I can’t recommend that for ‘normies’ because the interface is not simple, and I still have glitches with it.
I’m also looking for a solution like yours, but wanted you to have that feedback.
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 1 week ago:
Ah yeah not much you can do about that unless you put an aftermarket cooler on it and that’s a PITA.
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 1 week ago:
Very unbiased source there.
I’m primarily a PC gamer but I buy ALL THE VIDEO GAME THINGS, so I have every console that comes out, even if I’m only going to play one game on it (looking at you, Returnal). Who is he trying to convince? Cause he’s full of shit.

Stop buying cheap fans?
My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.

Constant, unrelenting pressure via nonviolent protest is our best tool right now. If they fear they’ll lose the next election they will fall in line. We just need to put that fear in them.

Easy way to not worry about getting shadow banned - don’t be an asshole.
Didn’t you just post about this the other day? Stop it.

- Comment on Trump’s DOJ will no longer prosecute most cryptocurrency fraud cases 2 weeks ago:
You’ll have to be more specific. What’s “that” you are referring to?
- Comment on Trump’s DOJ will no longer prosecute most cryptocurrency fraud cases 2 weeks ago:
Medicare/Medicaid/SS cuts will have people rioting. They are playing with fire there.
Aside from that type of drastic event, I see discontent growing daily. People are fed up with the general unease and sense of unfairness in our system. It takes time for that anger to build but you don’t get 5 million people in the streets in every single state in the country when everyone is just sitting around taking their crap. I am hopeful that this growing movement will begin direct action such as general strikes, but that’s a ways off. For now we just need to keep showing up, and show everyone else that there are a LOT of us and we are PISSED and we’re not taking this laying down.
