- Comment on Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data 8 months ago:
I dislike this sentiment. Just because something is FOSS or open source, doesn’t mean it’s not harvesting your data or doing something nefarious.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 8 months ago:
I rarely see that,. But what I see all the time is Linux lovers being toxic fanboys trying to shove their “passion” down everyone’s throat. Also, 99% of them being wrong about what it can “offer”.
Its a pure superiority complex fanbase.

Okay, you’re dumb then.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge 9 months ago:
So, what you’re saying is… Is house rates went up on his mortgage right?
And because of that he became poor?
So you’re saying your right with the assumption that if he rented his rent wouldn’t also double??

- Comment on AI Companies Lose $190 Billion After Dismal Financial Reports 9 months ago:
AI isn’t new. Algorithms “are” ai. All apps always used it. But it’s changed from algorithms to AI.
- Comment on Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere? 9 months ago:
Lemmy users don’t respond well to reasonable criticism or facts.
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Okay? And physical stores don’t? This isn’t news and doesn’t address your claim whatsoever? It doesn’t compare spotify vs indi labels.
Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Wohh there, that’s a lot of claims with 0 proof.
Can yo source any of that?
- Comment on Amazon made $1 billion through secret price raising algorithm -US FTC 1 year ago:
You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.
I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
Let me frame this another way.
Google is monopolistic and kills any other creator from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.
Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I’ve never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.
They exist because of us the consumer.
They also don’t pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.
Yet Google wants more because line must go up.
There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don’t pay well. It’s sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.
- Comment on The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker. 1 year ago:
Kind of a shit response to such a well written reply. Most of us would use this guide likely don’t already have any of this set up. Imagine spending so long setting this all up when there’s a good reply that can further improve on stuff before it’s in place.
- Comment on AI Generated QR Codes with Stable Diffusion and ControlNet 1 year ago:
Good for you knowing this before everyone else who knew! Really impressive! You’re so cool!
Now stop assuming everyone has read news that you have.
- Comment on Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy 1 year ago:
What stock price are looking at? It’s up 50% this year.
And before you quote that it’s lower than its peak during COVID, so is the majority of not all big tech firms.
- Comment on Amazon to introduce ads on Prime Video in 2024 1 year ago:
They already show ads though. Just for their own content after every episode.
It’s made me stop using their service because it’s annoying enough as it is.
Also those make me despise the advertised show and refuse to watch it already.
- Comment on Actor Stephen Fry says his voice was stolen from the Harry Potter audiobooks and replicated by AI—and warns this is just the beginning 1 year ago:
That’s fine. Totally agree, but this (AI actors/voices etc) would just replace the celebrities with just a smaller, richer, more controlling group of capitalist fucks.
- Comment on Free streaming platform with live TV from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 launches next year 1 year ago:
Wtf are people complaining about non-uk things in the literal UK feddiverse…
- Comment on Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits. 1 year ago:
Enough? Main stream companies already accept it and it’s easily a transferable skill from unreal, unity etc to Godot.
The software isn’t new, like nocode and others, the industry quickly adapts… It’s not a fantasy world… .
