That‘s the beautiful part you won‘t be able to return packages because that would damage the economy. :)
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 5 hours ago:
You see that is exactly the problem I have with these posts. You don‘t actually know if the trading portfolio of a mega evil asshole actually has any impact on the technology world. Stocks are just gambling and he could make the wrong move here. Like 90% of high traffic posts in r/technology was just random billionaires trading stocks at some point. It was utterly pointless.
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 5 hours ago:
I thought we decided to not post stonks crap in here. It‘s what completely ruined the technology community over at Reddit before the entire site was ruined.

Oh I know that book. In the end you‘ll be delivered crap automatically because the government decided AI knows what you need better than you do and you‘ll struggle to explain to the AI that you really don‘t want nor can afford that dolphin dildo sitting unopened on your couch table. But the balance was already drawn from your bank account so tough luck.
- Comment on Monitoring Students’ Chatbot Conversations Is Big Business Now 2 days ago:
Because who wouldn‘t love to live in society where minors are being stalked by strangers for profit?
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 3 days ago:
Indeed. I would say the Gabecube is essentially just another PC and a little overhyped already. It‘s SteamOS that deserves a lot of praise. Especially with the upcoming desktop version.
- Comment on German court: ChatGPT violated copyright law by ‘learning’ from song lyrics 3 days ago:
I mean every German who ever heard of GEMA knew this was inevitable all the way back in 2022. They threatened entire cities to the point some of them don‘t play music on Christmas markets anymore. You can‘t win against those guys, just hope for a hefty settlement.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 3 days ago:
I‘m looking forward to next year when AAA studios will continue to disappoint even harder while indie games flourish and gain market share. Maybe the AI bubble pops too. One can only hope.
- Comment on Anthropic says Chinese hackers used its Claude AI chatbot in cyberattacks 3 days ago:
AI bros will claim anything for some claude, I mean clout.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
It‘s also an industry full of enthusiasts with a passion for what they do. Well mostly. I don‘t have to tell you how much that gets exploited. The workers who got the boot over joining a union actually seemed interested in returning to office again in interviews, though not without joining a union first.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 days ago:
It definitely reminds me of that Steam controller someone on Youtube built by sawing a Steamdeck in two and gluing the ends together so to speak. They said it‘s their dream controller so I‘m sure this controller already has some fans. I just can‘t tell by looking at it.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 4 days ago:
Not gonna lie the controller looks ass but maybe it feels fantastic so I‘ll wait with my final judgement. I‘m interested to see how they will try to push VR since most users are still incredibly uninterested in it.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 4 days ago:
You‘re getting downvotes for no reason. Also anyone who ever had to contact Steam support felt how criminally understaffed they are so it makes sense they make tons of money per employee I guess.
- Comment on I Wrote Task Manager — 30 Years Later, the Secrets You Never Knew 4 days ago:
He wrote task manager and get this: It‘s also the guy who wrote task manager. Did I mention he wrote task manager?
- Comment on Age verification lands in Italy − here’s how it affects VPN users 5 days ago:
Vote stupid far rights, get stupid far eight policies.
- Comment on Chat Control isn’t dead, Denmark has a new proposal − here’s all we know 5 days ago:
That‘s funny because Denmark ended physical letter mail this year too. They are locked in when it comes to building a dystopian surveillance state.
- Comment on 'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting 5 days ago:
What are you implying? I just saw an interview of the fired workers striking outside the Rockstar buildings and the comments show nothing but support for them and call for a boycott of GTA 6. You can see similar recent comments under the official GTA 6 trailer on Youtube by the way. Drop in the bucket or not, but some people are actually pissed how the developers behind one of their favorite franchises get treated like dirt.
- Comment on 'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting 5 days ago:
I mean they can do that and quality assurance will struggle even more, making indie games look even better in comparison. Let publishers keep shooting themselves in the foot in their endless greed. It will only speed up the destructive cycle.
- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 6 days ago:
AI messed up GPU prices even before AI was really a thing. When everyone was caught up in the Bitcoin hype, Nvidia already focused completely on AI instead of banking on the crypto hype, neglecting consumer GPUs. And we still feel that today.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 1 week ago:
I don‘t know what you mean. I can have vertical or horizontal bars wherever I want, how many I want and with different apps pinned to each if I want. KDE Linux btw.
- Comment on GTA 6 dev Rockstar says recent firings were due to leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" 1 week ago:
That was really clumsy on the side of the workers. Discord is the last App I would use to organize a union. What were they even thinking?
On the other hand that probably means they use discord for literally everything including communication within Rockstar, albeit unofficially. So yeah if their employer had any consistency in firing people over NDAs they would probably have to fire most of the staff.
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 1 week ago:
Those are the same people.
- Comment on EA insists it will "maintain creative control" and "creative freedom" if sale to consortium goes ahead 1 week ago:
Creative freedom over how they fire people and sell IPs to pay off the mountain of debt they loaded the company with.
- Comment on Meta: Pirated Adult Film Downloads Were For “Personal Use,” Not AI Training 2 weeks ago:
So Meta says pirating is not theft if it‘s for personal use, huh? Good to know.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 2 weeks ago:
I mean it‘s like the 10th time I‘m reading about THE breakthrough in Chinese chip production on Lemmy so lets just say I‘m not holding my breath LoL.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I think both sides make sense here. If you shoot at everything that moves and refuse to cooperate it can be a hell of a ride. But if you focus on looting and are willing to socialize it can be almost a cozy experience. It reminds me of Team Fortress 2 where players would sometimes just make up their own rules mid game and turn everything on it‘s head.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Wait, you say it‘s not $39.99 good but still worth the price? That‘s as much of a direct contradiction as possible.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
So basically you have not tried it but complain about things you expect because…? Are you an EA or IGN employee or something?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Honestly if someone still uses Windows but complains about kernel level anti-cheat they’re hypocrites and only have themselves to blame. If you want sovereignty as a PC user you have to put in the minimum effort and not just sit on your ass and wait until big corp is spoon feeding it to you. That day won‘t come.
- Comment on TikTok may become more right-wing as China signals approval for US sale 2 weeks ago:
I mean it already is the biggest superspreader of far right content in Europe and I would assume in the US as well. But please don‘t come with anecdotes about your TikTok experience because it‘s the most personalized content platform so it‘s irrelevant what your feed looks like right now. I‘m saying this because often times at least one TikTok user will rush in to defend the platform with their personal experience whenever this is brought up.
