  Now do Berserk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s less that he personally learned anything and more that the Heritage Foundation did, he’s only following their playbook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The rhetoric that politicians are idiots and they don’t know what they’re doing is also damaging, because it makes people assume stupidity rather than malice.

  But it is malice. The incompetence is real, make no mistake, but malice is in fact the end goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People are fleeing into Linux & MacOS in droves. If this trend holds, Ms will lose majority in ~8 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is awful because the people who went to business school figured out how to fuck us over as hard as possible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With private equity taking over every aspect of daily lives, this is only going to get much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was about sending a message: “stfu or suffer the consequences”. Hence, subsequent people who encounter similar will think twice about reporting anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love to see EU numbers side by side for a fair comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Logically, this would mean the dildo makers are also invited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t even safe today, but people still do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even at the basest level of society that we might fall back to, there will be a need for stores of great value in order to make larger trades. You can’t effectively trade large scale without it. Which might not be relevant right after a full system failure, but definitely afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today In Computing History⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually recognize the streets in the window (I studied and worked in Mechelen for years).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It’s a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 10k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.

  It’s a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t feel important enough for that. Same reason I’m not religious. People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 2A folks are overwhelmingly on the side of the oppressors…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So far, AI has cost me a few hobbies (as in, made them a lot less enjoyable) and one job.

  If there’s an uprising against clankers, you’ll find me at the front lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia lobbies White House and wins loosened AI GPU export control to China — U.S. lawmakers reportedly reject GAIN AI Act. There is another bill in the works.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exceptions for billionaires and industry titans, but none for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Shut up and pass the butter”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on my last Windows device. After this it’s linux and apple. Fuck MS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are embarrassed just make it sound classy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was always partial to the saying “va suçer un ours dans la forêt”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a bit more involved than “advertisements”. It was a targeted psyop. Cfr Cambridge Analytica.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as we can’t even define sapience in biological life, where it resides and how it works, it’s pointless to try and apply those terms to AI. We don’t know how natural intelligence works, so using what little we know about it to define something completely different is counterintuitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I don’t regret doing it, and the short duration was one of the things that pushed me over the edge. I wasn’t looking to exit reality for hours at a time. It was an… interesting and instructive experience, but I didn’t feel the need to repeat it again. DEFINITELY have a sober sitter with you, I was apparently trying to throw myself off the stairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also did salvia but I wouldn’t touch datura with a 10 ft pole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be a browser extension like the old Cloud to Butt that replaces "AI" with something funny.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, cloud to butt. I once installed that on a coworker’s computer he had left unlocked. Took him months to catch on. Also, it apparently changed “cloud” to “butt” in posts and emails as well… oops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy is the head that wears the frown⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupidest cliché in the world. And yet it’s true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see, 70-100+(!) bucks for the (yawn) twentyseventh COD with a 4 hour campaign, or 20 for a game that is complete and lasts for dozens if not hundreds of hours?

  Yeah, my choice is easily made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some who went to Linux and a few who moved to Mac. But no one is seeing Win11 and saying “oh man, I gotta get in on that”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current state of the internet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which one? I’m willing to bet there’s several.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point it might be the wisest decision⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of Jesus, send the other guy, he might have a better go of it.
