I take my shitposts very seriously.
- Comment on 'One of the wildest Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding 5 days ago:
Cybercriminals are creaming their jorts at the potential exploits this might open up.

Now, if we were talking about one Nokia…
- Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense 1 week ago:
Doctor Ignaz Semmelweiss in the mid-1800s suggested that obstetricians should wash and sterilize their hands before attending their patients to reduce the chance of infection. He was rejected by the medical community, ridiculed by colleagues, and eventually locked in an asylum where he was killed.
We’re sliding back in time.

Nice tits
- Comment on Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges 1 week ago:
That’s pretty much how he kept the public image of “eccentric genius” for so many years. I once read an article (can’t remember where, don’t care enough to search) that said that SpaceX had/has a team whose entire purpose was to babysit Musk when he had a temper tantrum. The team formed organically, like a cyst around a foreign object, and minimized damage to PR.
When Twitter was infested, it didn’t have this immunity and now the world (or those of us who care) knows how much of a shithead he is.
- Comment on Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer 1 week ago:
Riot was/is also a cesspit of sexual harrassment and discrimination, but nobody seems to remember.
- Comment on Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer 1 week ago:
Embracer is a sickness, a malignant fucking growth on gaming.
- Comment on And they say English is bad 1 week ago:
For non-speakers, it’s kind of like reading Scots as an anglophone. sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid
- Comment on I just realised that this is not a painting by René Magritte 5 weeks ago:
If you immediately know that the caldlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Does Tidal have a lightweight Linux client that’s kept up-to-date?
- Comment on xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas 1 month ago:
Solar cells of comparable scale don’t provide nearly enough power to propel any kind of useful mass, and their output is only a trickle compared to even the slow-charging current of a classical EV. A solar-powered car would have to save mass everywhere, including safety devices (goodbye, crumple zones), backup propulsion, and batteries. No batteries means that the car would be limited by weather, time of day, and day of the year (winter -> sun at lower angle -> reduced solar cell power). Solar cells would have to be flush with the car’s body lest they turn into sails/wings/airbrakes, which makes tracking the sun for better efficiency impossible. Driving through a city, a wooded area, or inside a tunnel would cast shadows on the car, especially at dawn/dusk.
I could go on.
- Comment on Rubén Baler, neuroscientist: ‘We are guinea pigs. Our attention has become a profitable commodity’ 1 month ago:
Less content on the whole. There are many “the world is sliding back into fascism”-type posts, but I don’t feel compelled to scroll on the front page infinitely.
- Comment on Rubén Baler, neuroscientist: ‘We are guinea pigs. Our attention has become a profitable commodity’ 1 month ago:
Doomscrolling on reddit, imgur, and twatter destroyed my mental health over a ~4-year period. I went cold turkey on all three about a year ago and there is a remarkable difference. They caused a great deal of anxiety, I just didn’t realise it at the time.
- Comment on In a thousand years teachers will have a hard time explaining the origins of one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived weapons ever invented: the lightsaber 1 month ago:
It’s the “Cow Tools” of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we’ve had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat’leth.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
Apparently, they cared.
- Comment on In a thousand years teachers will have a hard time explaining the origins of one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived weapons ever invented: the lightsaber 1 month ago:
“But hey, at least it’s not a bat’leth!” (entire classroom breaks out in laughter)
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
I’d love some sauce with those claims.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
Do you know what Sony and its stakeholders would see? High player counts and growing active PSN userbase.
The best way to protest is to stop playing, request a refund, and rate the game negatively everywhere. Show them that they’ve fucked the golden goose.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 1 month ago:
The same question was asked a million times during the crypto boom. “They’re insisting that [some-crypto-project] is a safe passive income when people have proven that it’s a ponzi scheme. Who do they expect to believe them?” And the answer is, zealots who made crypto (or in this case, AI) the basis of their entire personality.
- Comment on Using Nextcloud as a directory/folder/remote location 1 month ago:
I haven’t tried, but you might be able to set up a samba share that points to
/var/www/nextcloud-data/USER/files
, just make sure that it uses thewww-data
user. - Comment on House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism” 1 month ago:
But saying something like “Denying the Muslim people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a sovereign Palestine is a racist endeavor" would get nothing but dropped jaws and racist bleating.

- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
What are you talking about? The “AAA” classification has always been a measure of corporate involvement and budget, not of quality. If you think that being large in scale and having good production quality is what makes “AAA” games, you’re dead wrong.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
Priced like a AAA game.
It is a AAA game. It stopped being an indie when Take Two bought it from Squad.

HANS! Bring the Flammenwoofer!
- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked launch trailer drops as devs promise no microtransactions, always-online or anti-cheat 2 months ago:
As for anti-cheat? I may be ignorant,
The author is not just ignorant, but indifferent. What a huge nothingburger of an article.
- Comment on So today I finally deleted the bird app 2 months ago:
Might be “exploitation” instead of “abuse”.
