- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 5 days ago:
Holy shit that was tough to finish that article. There are so many quotes from this idiot that are just fucking nonsense. Here are my top three:
“It is just as tough,” Liebman exclusively tells Fortune. “Back then, it was more difficult in some ways because you had less neighborhoods that people would live.”
Plus, she says, never has there been more opportunity at young people’s fingertips—not just when it comes to inventory on the market: “If you’re not afraid to show off your skill set, and you try and find yourself an opportunity where you’re going to be appreciated and where people are going to allow you to expand your horizons and hopefully add value to the company that you’re at, I think it’s an unbelievable time.”
“It’s not that expensive,” she adds. “So if you’re willing to move around, which people are now, I think that there are definitely opportunities out there… You’re going to secure a much, much less expensive apartment than if you are insistent on being in the West Village.”

Yea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

It will choose for you, but you can select specific drivers if you’d like. I’ve only had to mess with installing specific drivers on edge cases.

PopOS in my opinion.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 2 months ago:
Well the head of the EPA called climate change “a religion” so that ship has sailed for the US.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 3 months ago:
Good to know! But the out of the box version of DuckDuckGo.com does have AI on by default. I think it should be off by default.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 3 months ago:
Somewhat ironic given that DuckDuckGo has AI on by default. You have to either save the settings on the cloud or manually turn off AI when searching using DuckDuckGo. Still a good privacy search engine though.

- Comment on Microsoft is saving millions with AI and laying off thousands - where do we go from here? 3 months ago:
Impossible. Even in a world where AI can do everything perfectly, they still would not be able to disintegrate Microsoft products and support at the current pace Microsoft is doing it. With every Teams update, I honestly think it’s an April fools joke. There is no way it can be on purpose.
- Comment on Army gives shady offer to tech bros so they can play soldier 4 months ago:
“…instead they will do it by making some tech execs part-time lieutenant colonels in the Army Reserve while retaining their current full-time jobs. Welcome your newest recruits: Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Shyam Sankar, CTO Palantir; Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s former research chief and current advisor to Thinking Machines Lab.”
I certainly wouldn’t want these four with me in a foxhole.
- Comment on Senator Reveals Which Phone Companies Protect Privacy by Telling Customers About Government Surveillance; Carriers Did Not Follow Through on Requirement to Notify Senate of Surveillance Demands. 5 months ago:
Cape looks dope. Anyone have experience with their service?
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 5 months ago:
The article claims that 1 trillion dollars was lost to scams in 2024 “based on research from GASA.org”. I cannot for the life of me figure out where this number comes from. Going to that website they say it’s based on ~53,000 surveys. I think they took the survey results, took the average amount of money the surveys claimed people lost and multiplied it by the total population of Earth or some nonsense shit. Their reports are blocked behind registration, which I’m not willing to do to find out their report is bullshit. Misinformation at its finest right here.

There is no profit in securing customer data and there is no drawback for the company when data breaches occur. Without regulation, there will never be motivation for companies to give a shit.
They will apologize like Old navy does every few years for sweatshops, claim they really care and promise to improve (they won’t).
What they really mean?
“Enjoy your free year of credit monitoring and fuck off.”
