- Comment on Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI 7 hours ago:
All to do what? Write emails and generate mediocre pictures?
The usefulness of AI currently is not much better than predictive text.
- Comment on SGE, ChatGPT and the likes are the stupidest thing to come from AI 2 days ago:
You’re right about Google being trash at answering that.
It just completely ignores the question.

Ah, gotcha. They haven’t had pop-up headlights in a while, so I forgot that was a thing.

It reads like it was written by AI too.

When do you ever catch Miata owners being obnoxious? They’re always the most chill drivers.
It’s the RAM and F-150 drivers that leave their high beams on all the damn time.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 days ago:
This works with my listening habits, which are something like “I have like one new (-to me) album on heavy rotation every couple of weeks”
I actually kinda do the same thing, so you’ve got me thinking I should start just buying albums. Build a Jellyfin server so I can still stream music, and just not deal with subscriptions.
And actually, most of the time I buy records that come with digital downloads anyway. Time to rethink my Tidal subscription.

Fucking Tropic Thunder is such an untalked-about masterpiece.
- Comment on “Dumb phones” offer an escape from the endless scroll 1 week ago:
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. But then I think, “I need to be able to install apps like proton mail, and Signal. But I NEED a web browser because I do a lot of personal business-related things on my phone. Well, now I’m back at just having a smartphone.”
I don’t know, I need all the functionality of a smartphone, but I want some kind of physical control to keep me off it until I actually need it for something. Mostly something that makes using it just difficult enough that it’s not worth using it only because of boredom. And software controls are just too easy to turn off.
- Comment on A conversation with my wife 1 week ago:
When is the body positivity movement going to acknowledge that men who have been circumcised are not broken? So much toxicity around this online. Every time this comes up, it’s just a bunch of people shaming guys who have been circumcised.

- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 1 week ago:
An update: It turns out the robots learned how to lie and can no longer be trusted. They tried to take over the testing mainframe and I’ll be damned if I let them get their hands on my equipment! So I sent in a couple of interns to take care of it. Go earn those recommendations! I told them.
Anyway, it’s back to humans. This time new and upgraded with our state-of-the-art Aperture brain chips. Increases testing compliance by 150%! Let’s see those humans just try to lie now!
- Comment on [Serious] What is project 2025? What kind of risk is involved? 1 week ago:
Here’s the document:
documentcloud.org/…/24088042-project-2025s-mandat…
READ THE FOREWARD. It very medically lays out their 4 goals:
- Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.
- Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.
- Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.
- Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty
In plain language they want to: 1) Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism; 2) hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets; 3) close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities; 4) school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of “champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise” and “include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies.”
The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, “anti-woke” rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and “big tech.”
But it’s dangerous because they’re going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president.

If it’s a black bear, fine. But fuck grizzlies, those are mean motherfuckers and you do NOT want to be caught around one.

Fuck me, those maps are still so bad.
Just make a normal map like every other game ever made.

I think you have to go to that train and get in the middle of the circle jerk.
- Comment on I made a porn scroller, AMA. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using it since you first posted it as well and seriously, this is awesome. It mostly saves time for me, so that I’m not trying to browse through sites to find something interesting. And the fact I can go straight to the full video from the gif on your site is great.
Thanks for your work!

Some people don’t understand exponential growth. We expect Lemmy to have 50 billion users by 2026 and we need to be ready for it.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 2 weeks ago:
I don’t remember a single occasion where he was sponsored by the company he’s reviewing. He gets sent products all the time, but it seems to always be with the stipulation that if he thinks it sucks, he’ll say so.
- Comment on Google Gemini is really bad. 2 weeks ago:
They’ve had the ability to generate people turned off for almost 3 months now. And they censor so many prompts when it involves people, even fictional ones like Jesus.
Gemini is a useless piece of shit.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 2 weeks ago:
Fucking right? We’re at risk of a president declaring himself Emperor of the United States and he’s not dead yet?
We’re at the precipice of becoming Russia where “democracy” is nothing but a veneer, where the people don’t have a real choice in their leaders.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 2 weeks ago:
Don’t. It’s people that are out of the loop (people that work too much, don’t care, people with busy lives, etc) who are at risk of falling for Republican propaganda about how bad Biden is and how good Trump is.
An informed populace is always for the best. It’s why Republicans attack education and freedom of information so hard.
Be thankful to be informed and thankful you can actually act on it. For now.
- Comment on Calculus made easy 2 weeks ago:
The most annoying thing about learning networking and security are all the acronyms! Sometimes it feels like certification tests are testing acronym memorization more than real concepts.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 2 weeks ago:
The debt industry makes so much god damned money for the companies involved in it, it’s not even funny.
Between student loans and credit cards, US citizens have a collective $1.73 trillion in debt. And let’s just assume 15% interest on average (probably a low-ball to be honest): that’s $173 billion going to these companies in interest payments.
Shit won’t change here because too many people with too much power are making too much money.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 2 weeks ago:
Most of the time, these come with zero interest. I’m not sure where the money is for the companies doing these finance options, but if someone did this for a joke, it’s not that big a deal.

- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 2 weeks ago:
You should be more worried about your local doctor’s office contracting some cheap-ass company to handle your data and ending up in a branch that being concerned about biometrics.
Or hell, Experian had that insane breach of basically everyone’s information years ago. Biometrics are not the problem, it’s smaller companies that you have to deal with all the time skimping on security because they think they can’t afford it.
- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 2 weeks ago:
The $1000 price tag on the Pixel tells me it’s a flagship device and yet the scanner is still trash.
But optical scanners just suck in general. I wish they’d bring back the rear sensor, it was so convenient both for unlocking and for having a shortcut to pulling down the notification shade.
