Angry Anakin (Reddit): „You turned them against me!“
Obi-Wan: „You managed to do that yourself.“
- Comment on Is brain rot real? Researchers warn of emerging risks tied to short-form video 2 days ago:
Yup. People need to delete the apps from their phones. If they can‘t take that step they‘re not desperate enough for change.
- Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users 4 days ago:
This is good news for the two OpenAI browser users who are bow forced to use something better.
- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 4 days ago:
It‘s surreal how people trust AI of all things to point them to the truth.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 5 days ago:
It‘s a two sided blade, but I get what you mean.
On one hand monetization is the thing that ruins platforms for me because it invites grifters and even decent people are becoming obsessed with numbers. Most people see content creation only as a career path and not something to do for fun anymore. I find that depressing at times.
On the other hand we currently live in a capitalist world and have to play by those rules to some extend. I learned most of the things I do for a living from Youtube because professionals do Blender tutorials as a side gig or even for a living. There probably wouldn‘t be nearly as much knowledge out there without this motivator. Or at least not in this form that is easy to understand for me. The official Blender documentation usually isn‘t the first place I‘m searching through when I have a problem.
So I see where you‘re coming from but it‘s a fine line between helpful and loathsome.
- Comment on What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones? 6 days ago:
Because the current management have no idea about the identity of the brand. They just want to make money quick but all they accomplish is losing market share.
- Comment on What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones? 6 days ago:
The Haribo brand has been going downhill rapidly since hired managers took over leadership. It has been run by the same family for generations but the latest heirs had no interest in a leadership role. So it‘s run by random business people now who only make short term decisions based on numbers. When they moved their headquarters from Bonn (the town part of the company‘s name is based on. It‘s part of it‘s very DNA) to a tax haven state to save cost, everyone knew it was over. That company is just a Brand name with no identity now.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 6 days ago:
It‘s squeaky clean. I think it has more to do with either preference or you severely underestimate the noise of 10 year old gaming hardware.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 6 days ago:
My old PC and laptop are too loud to use for anything really. It‘s unfortunate but the noise is too much.

Another body for the Google graveyard.
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 week ago:
Still using Memmy even though it‘s a broken pile of rust now. The UI is still the best for me.
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 week ago:
Is it possible to show downvotes? I wonder why so few apps have it.
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 week ago:
Same thing I asked about Voyager: How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes? It‘s a dealbreaker if I can‘t.
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 week ago:
Maybe you should use something else in order to see the larger picture. It‘s hard to know what you really want when you don‘t compare.
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 week ago:
How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes in it? It doesn‘t do it on iOS on default which is weird.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 1 week ago:
Consumers have already decided mobile gambling slop is the most successful investment in the gaming industry. I don‘t trust consumers to know what‘s best for them.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Steam always chose the path of least resistance when it comes to dealing with law maker demands even when there were more consumer friendly ways available. This is not surprising at all.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
How and why do they even access Steam? The Internet and Computers aren‘t „traditional ways“ of communicating and video games are not „traditional ways“ of entertainment. Do they reject modern medicine too for being „non-traditional“? Seriously out of all the anti progress bullshit, this is the dumbest aspect.
- Comment on OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
That‘s a company claiming companies can‘t take responsibility because they are companies and can‘t do wrong. They use this kind of defense virtually every time they get criticized. AI ruined the app for you? Sorry but that‘s progress. We can‘t afford to lag behind. Oh you can’t afford rent and are about to become homeless? Sorry but we are legally required to make our shareholders happy. Oh your son died? He should‘ve read the TOS. Can‘t afford your meds? Sorry but number must go up.
Companies are legally required to be incompatible with human society long term.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 week ago:
If there is something better than opensnitch for this on Linux someone tell me. It‘s so annoying to block applications from accessing the internet on it. I‘ve tried like 4 different methods.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 week ago:
Very good point. Especially with how broken pricing has been on home computers for years, throwing away your machine for something impossibly expensive is a tough sell to say the least. Especially in this economy. It‘s more feasible to switch to Linux.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 week ago:
Maybe it‘s not slower, but smaller? I don‘t use Windows on my computer anymore.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 1 week ago:
Nothing epic about the guy or his company.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 1 week ago:
You don‘t really call him just the Führer in academic works so anything that works like an encyclopedia shouldn‘t either. The title is charged with either mockery or admiration. It should have no place in this context, because it should at least try to be neutral if you ask me.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
25 bucks? That‘s cute. AAA studios are charging $80 for remakes or $250 for DLC packages. They‘re out of their minds.
- Comment on A Viral Chinese Wristband Claims to Zap You Awake. The Public Says 'No Thanks’ 2 weeks ago:
Right because it‘s only „not propaganda“ when we complain about American tech products. Right. /s
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 2 weeks ago:
I pretty much only use Microsoft at work so it‘s my employer‘s problem when things go sideways there. But I understand not everyone can make the switch. Too much software and hardware drivers are still pretty much Windows only.
- Comment on Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup's robots could 'fracture a human skull' 2 weeks ago:
Isn‘t this why they‘re putting human workers into driving cages so they don‘t collide with working robots?
