- Comment on After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes 19 hours ago:
CPU cooler, as in, cheap-ass fans and a slab of metal with fins? Is that hard to come by too? Or is it professional grifters at work…
This is why we can’t have nice things.
(I know radiators are more than metal slabs, fans can be quite elaborate, and there can be liquid in the mix, but seriously)
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 1 day ago:
On one hand, the technology exists, sure.
On the other hand, arguing that everyone should have easy, free access to child porn is not the “good look” he think it is. I wonder why people regularly shit on him.

Ah, that would explain why they started to allow uninstalling the separate app.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds: "The AI Slop Issue Is *NOT* Going To Be Solved With Documentation" 4 days ago:
When it gets to the point where it does work to produce usable documentation, without extraneous content, with no mistakes, can be checked quickly, and it is faster to generate + check than to write it, maybe. Assuming a stellar history of being correct from the tool.
As it is right now, once you reach the point where you actually need proper documentation to be written to keep things maintainable, these tools have low accuracy, lots of issues, and using them takes longer than it takes a competent person to just write/update whatever needs to be.

That sounds way more work for approximately the exact same result. If it fits, it fits :D
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 6 days ago:
musk asked people to be nice. That should cover the service, legally speaking, no?
It’s not like he could pull the plug, or alter the behavior of the bot, that’s impossible (as long as you ignore the many time he did).
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 6 days ago:
People posting photos online of their kid in the bath, at the beach, etc. with reckless abandon maybe.
For as far as I remember (and that’s quite far these days), we’ve kept telling people to not post pictures of their kids online as much as possible. Way before the facebooks and way before the LLM craze, so people can’t mess with them. Guess 20 years of heads up wasn’t enough.
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 6 days ago:
I haven’t seen these pictures, so I can’t say how good/bad it works, but if that was only that, the results would be more or less wrong. Kids are quite different from adults.
On the other hand, plenty of pictures of naked/semi naked kids in a non sexual context can probably be found online already, so it’s not inconceivable that their model had plenty of references to use anyway.
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 6 days ago:
“suspension pledge” as in, their papier-maché leader asked people to “be nice, or face the consequence” on the service that don’t give a shit about consequences? I’m sure they were very scared for a second.

Hahaha… good joke, but people already did it.

- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 1 week ago:
Do you think anyone, anywhere think of roku and amazon fire when they hear “you should try linux”?

People a week ago: “you’re all stupid, DDR4 is not impacted”
Just wait. Scarcity loves company.

Back in my days, it was only ID10T. The s is new >_<
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’m on a relatively old build with DDR4, but still a decent processor and GPU. So far gaming have not been an issue with whatever I’m throwing at it. Not much in the way of loading times, and no real problem with the size of it. Some less game-y stuff, like video transcoding and 3D renders, also fine. And while I can see those improving somewhat with DDR5, I’m not sure it’s the actual bottleneck. And gaming won’t be much better with it… I mean seriously, moving loading times from 3 seconds to 2? I don’t really care.
The real issue will be when things starts to break down, as hardware do over time. It’s not that I want to replace the hardware if there’s no pressure from the software side, but I will have to if RAM goes bad, or motherboard decide to not power up.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
It’s never been done before, and can never be done after, obviously. Not a chance. Nope. It’s not like it worked before, not like windows placement is not really the business of the taskbar app, not like it works with almost every other DE/OS, too.
Absolutely impossible. Microsoft, that apparently did not make windows up until now otherwise they’d know this explanation is pure bullshit, have absolutely no way, no resources, no knowledge on how to setup the available rectangular area on the screen for window placement. Nope.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
The amount of bullshit is incredible. The DE sets the windows position. The DE tells the apps what’s the “usable” desktop area. It worked for decades. And now “you can’t imagine the amount of work”
Fuck you microsoft. Not that I care anymore. Even your excuses are pathetic.

At some point there’ll be enough pressure for a large enough fork of Firefox and Thunderbird to exist separately from Mozilla. Keep pushing, random clueless CEO.

DDR5 is the latest tech, but it affects everything. Even SO-DIMM DDR4 have had a price hike.
- Comment on Have LLMs killed all future programming languages? 5 weeks ago:
Lot’s of assumption here. And having lived long enough to see “that’s definitely the best language ever” happens multiple times, I’m not too worried.
Until we get something different than LLM that is able to actually understand what’s happening and combine things in different ways, the only thing that might dwindle in the future is the cost of rewriting the same app every six months, since an LLM might (still lots of assumption) be able to regurgitate it. People writing new things will still be required for a long time. And these people will want new, shiny languages for all the same reasons we keep making new languages to this day.
- Comment on It's so annoying 5 weeks ago:
It’s also illegal. The “no fuck you” button should be as visible and accessible as the “accept all”.
Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.
Obviously, no one cares. There’s no real consequences, cookies are still dropped on your system regardless of consent, and cookies weren’t even the real problem to begin with, user profiling had already moved to include other invasive techniques.
As far as making something complex and useless go, it’d have been way easier to work with the w3c to add attributes to cookies to identify their purpose (essential, preferences, etc.) so the browser could filter them out based on that attributes and the matching of the current website. It would have meant way less work on the website owners, provide ways for end-user to set their preferences universally and be done with it, enforced said preferences, and so on. And people that would lie on the purpose of their cookie would still lie, but could be caught red-handed (assuming anyone actually cared).
Instead we got this mess.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 5 weeks ago:
For an online service to get popular, it has to be either a new, really interesting thing with a lot of advertisement, have the support of some big celebrities (usually through advertisement too), or literally pay people to come en masse to artificially make it popular, so that more people comes organically (so, basically, a large advertisement budget). It also have to be easy because most people can’t read more than a few lines of explanations on why things are different.
No lemmy instance have none of the pre-requisites, and the accessibility is not really there for the general public, due to various things. My main gripe is that federation and local moderation means you’ll have to create multiple account to access content from certain groups of servers, which is a lot to ask to people that can’t be asked to make even one account, but there are other minor things too. The sheer choice of instances and client, seen as an advantage by some, is simply a bothersome annoyance to people used to large platforms doing all the work of deciding what’s good and bad for them.
