- Comment on Banning children from VPNs and social media will erode adults' privacy 2 days ago:
It’s frustrating that they act like it’s private right now. The whole situation is typical absurd human behavior.
- Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 5 days ago:
Why leave WebKit out?
- Comment on I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined 6 days ago:
People don’t like to look at this dimension. They just like to talk about how seeking out porn is natural and normal for teens. I’ve seen a few people around Lemmy make this claim as an argument against doing anything about how we handle pornography in the modern world.

Men too :smart:

Why can’t SKG do those things? They all seem… oh. ROSS IS AN AMERICAN. I see.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Update Indicates Positive Outlook in EU Battle Despite Roadblocks 1 week ago:
What political affiliations would be used against them if they were just part of SKG?
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 1 week ago:
I really think that part of what is changing is that the hardware people run games on is becoming less and less differentiated in both power class and capability. And the hardware that does bring a large performance gap is very expensive.
- Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site 1 week ago:
The keep trying to make Linux more appealing.

Yeah, I’m glad I’m not alone in having that vibe about Phil.
- Comment on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100-billion deal in favour of $30-billion investment 1 week ago:
I’m guessing based on the downvotes, he does.
- Comment on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100-billion deal in favour of $30-billion investment 1 week ago:
Does he say the same word over and over in a run on sentence to purposefully confusing for effect? It’s his favorite bit to do.
- Comment on Acer and Asus ordered to halt PC sales in Germany after Nokia wins HEVC patent ruling 1 week ago:
There’s another patent suit with Disney plus over HDR, or maybe the same thing, in Germany right now, too.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 1 week ago:
just one more AI model, please that’ll do it, just one more, just you wait, have you seen how fast things are improving? Just one more. Common, just one more…
- Comment on Amazon Wins $6 Million in Damages Against Pirated DVD Stores, Plus Domain Takeovers 1 week ago:
I don’t think someone has the right to sell someone else’s product without permission. It’s as simple as that.
Note that this is differentiated from piracy. Y’all are muddying waters and sabotaging the cause when you entertain the idea that selling bootleg dvds should be equivalent to someone downloading something from the internet with no money changing hands.
- Comment on Amazon Wins $6 Million in Damages Against Pirated DVD Stores, Plus Domain Takeovers 1 week ago:
No, but they shouldn’t be allowed to sue for physical piracy on products they do not produce physically.
This is nonsense.
- Comment on Amazon Wins $6 Million in Damages Against Pirated DVD Stores, Plus Domain Takeovers 1 week ago:
So, companies should be legally forced to produce DVDs?
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t this topic be more appropriate in other communities? Preaching to the choir here.
- Comment on OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI 1 week ago:
And isn’t this not a unique idea? Surely OpenAI had something in the works already.
- Comment on A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox 2 weeks ago:
That sucks. And it’s a great example of how people don’t get how difficult it is to deal with this stuff as a parent. Even when you know better.
- Comment on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash 2 weeks ago:
Everyone has learned to keep this private now. If it leaks, that’ll get less attention.
- Comment on A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox 2 weeks ago:
Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.
- Comment on Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan launches dark-money group to influence California politics 2 weeks ago:
He also talks about the current Twitter being parallel media. And how that’s a good thing for furthering his agenda of tech ceos taking control of society.
- Comment on YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism. 2 weeks ago:
That’s not poison. Thats helping them profile you. 🤔
- Comment on Dijkstra’s algorithm won’t be replaced in production routers 2 weeks ago:
It’s funny how often things stay the same in information technology just due to inertia. Yet the overall pace of change has been relentless.
- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 2 weeks ago:
It does, but not in the sense that it “repairs” them or whatever. There are plenty of natural fibers and styles of clothing that would be a wrinkled mess eventually if they were not ironed. You may be use to synthetic fabrics or blends of synthetic and cotton that don’t wrinkle in the same way. And by synthetic, I mean petroleum based fabrics.
- Comment on AI agents spill secrets just by previewing malicious links 2 weeks ago:
OpenGraph tags in particular? Or do you mean something else?
- Comment on GitHub - spacebarchat/spacebarchat: 📬 Spacebar is a free open source selfhostable discord compatible communication platform 2 weeks ago:
Lots of great software ideas out there. It’s always the execution, availability of resources, and the reality of capitalism getting in the way.
- Comment on Transatlantic TikTok propaganda and the end of localised populism 2 weeks ago:
The ycombinator guy calls this “parallel media” and talks openly about how it’s intended to replace governments with tech companies.

Wow, so signal is the worst at dealing with unwanted CSAM uploads? What wild ranking system this guy has.
