- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 1 day ago:
I guess that , unlike some famous people in “Phoenix Valley”, the people in Tucson did not forget “the white man’s greed”.
Kudos to them!
- Comment on What are your favourite and go-to gaming websites? 5 days ago:
All I need are Steam, GOG, Isthereanydeal, Howlongtobeat and SteamDB. There are some YouTube channels I follow, but as they mostly talk about consoles nowadays, I don’t really rely on them for the final choice.
- Comment on You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media 1 week ago:
Can it be made into a Cinnamon extension or even a tool with which I would run it for all new image files while idle (if needed)?
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal 1 week ago:
I am a newbie in LibreOffice, but I am wondering whether me chronicling my first experiences in it would be worth doing.
I think what we sorely lack is more people like Nick and Michael Horn making approachable tech news about this niche.
I understand that to some the idea itself of the tech news cycle, focused on its own navel all the time is not appealing, but I think that is exactly there that a channel like this could distinguish itself, showcasing OSS solutions having an impact on the public good, something the usual news outlets cannot afford to do since every second is lost revenue.
The only risk is being boring.

Ahem, you may want to listen to this: pca.st/…/007323a5-a2ba-4b4c-ab18-5307e0d31164
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 3 weeks ago:
I am not an American and I have never been a Superman fan. I had fun, I felt represented, I was entertained, cannot wait for a sequel, am looking forward for Peacemaker S2 and whatever else is planned.
Warmly recommended. I really think all Americans should see it, as it may have a very good and stronger effect on them.
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 4 weeks ago:
I am absolutely with you.
Also people should learn the difference between empathy and sympathy, the latter not as fatiguing and difficult to develop and often more useful.
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 4 weeks ago:
I just came out of watching the new movie.
In the scene in which Clark gets interviewed, seen also in the trailer, it is transparent that Superman is with Francesca Albanese on a very current issue.
That’s what they are mad about.
I guess WB/DC is gonna fall out of grace.
- Comment on BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler 4 weeks ago:
Defineky not in the case of a CEO, she is the bartender.
- Comment on Signatures skyrocket for Stop Killing Games campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 2 days. (Details on how to help in text body of post) 5 weeks ago:
Raiden and Midna at PLAYERINSIDE did it (again) this week and are going to do it again in their video today.
I bet that if they point out that we are losing to the French, we may achieve incredible results in record time.
Except in Pisa.

Here comes the killjoy!
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 1 month ago:
I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:
“Honda Wins!”
For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn’t permit them to have long-range missiles.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 1 month ago:
Up until now I thought moddb was all that existed.
- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 1 month ago:
Now that’s the real win.
- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 1 month ago:
Genuinely curious: how many explosions before the successful test?
- Comment on YSK about the GI Rights Hotline 1 month ago:
For completeness, Glicemic Index. In this case General Infantry though.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 2 months ago:
Both of the services have the option to delete all forwarded messages. This is simply the best first step in order to be able to review what accounts still work with the old addresses (via inbox rules) and slowly change them. I use addy.io for mail aliasing already, but that is not really related to gaining independence from those companies.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 2 months ago:
And that’s why I set up forwarding from Gmail and Outlook to my new Tuta account.
In a few months I should be free, happily paying for EU alternative were the default swipe gesture stands for delete instead of archive.
- Comment on Pushing users into paranoia about tracking and privacy is a brilliant way to reduce server load from users that are not producing value on a platform 2 months ago:
This is correct and there is a Black Mirror episode that explains it well, the second one of the first season, Fifteen Million Merits.
The final condition of the protagonist in that episode is the one of the Privacy-informing Youtubers and other creators, if they cannot make enough money with Patreon or other independent revenue streams.
And even in that case, the original platform is making the most value out of it.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 months ago:
Missing Half-life (the first one). That game was the first one to feature scripted scenes during player interaction and it was mind-blowing. Plus, it had the most sophisticated story ever seen in an FPS before.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Good one, although still sounding benign. Hormones and in general stuff related to flesh is when this shit hits MeatCanyon territory.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other “gym biochem” reeks of body horror.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 months ago:
Thanks for that link! I was almost gonna start one myself. Gonna try that one instead, at least for a while.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 2 months ago:
The world will be better when people will stop following the medieval trend of having a lawn. Water consumption, leaf blowers, habitat invasion would be finally gone.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 months ago:
Am I the only one that sees Adolfo “using” it and Musk “feeling” it?
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
I bet they will still make it default.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
I don’t know to what extent they’ll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 2 months ago:
Which is information in itself.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 2 months ago:
My position is that there is no way to assert it really did.
The ban of his account were present in Italian news since March: lapresse.it/…/turchia-x-di-elon-musk-sospende-acc…
This is old news.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 2 months ago:
I left a precedent in another top-level comment (a screenshot). Also, broke the laws is not my standard in these cases.
