  Might actually improve things somewhat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for Obsidian. Copy-paste to other pc = immediate access without setup. Plug & play. Also free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s only one in my country AFAIK and he’s not even from here, just registered here for tax purposes.

  Regardless, i would recognize him in the street. And I wouldn’t be the only one.

  It’s going swimmingly I see

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It already has. The West doesn’t like to advertise that though.

  … fuck

  Haha holy shit it evolved!

  I liked the sound they made. People have been using them to make music for ages. Best is still imperial march played on 48 floppy drives (or thereabouts).

  Cliff racers! Fetch st. Jiub!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Consumers are what, less than 10% of MS’s revenue? Most of their income is from cloud (Azure, O365) so they can afford to treat their consumer customers like trash. They don’t give a shit about your 50-150 bucks for a win license because it’s peanuts to them.

  The only viable option for consumers is to massively ditch MS products altogether and migrate to alternatives, which used to be in short supply but luckily aren’t anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is (one of) the real reason the West always acquisces to Israel, although Israel will call it a fairy tale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now do Berserk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

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