Poe’s Law is real, lol.
- Comment on Mozilla is trying to push me out because I have cancer – CPO 5 days ago:
No it doesn’t. Here, let me demonstrate:
I’m accusing you of showing up to my house and kissing my dog (the gay one, not the straight one.)
There. Is that the truth? According to you it must be, because
Accusation = truth
So because it’s true, I demand you restore my dog’s honor by gay marrying him.
And that’s literally how it works in the US. You can make any allegation you want when filing a civil suit and a judge must decide the validity of your claims. Teixiera has given his side of the story when he filed suit; that’s all we can say for certain at this point. He could be 100% right, he could be bending the truth a little bit, or he could be completely lying about the whole thing- we don’t currently have any more information than that.
- Comment on Mozilla is trying to push me out because I have cancer – CPO 5 days ago:
Yes, yes I did. That doesn’t change anything I said. You’ve only repeated his claims (which his complaint can say literally anything), we don’t have Mozilla’s side, and he shouldn’t be saying a word about this suit to the press.
- Comment on Mozilla is trying to push me out because I have cancer – CPO 5 days ago:
Any decent lawyer will tell you to shut the fuck up once you’ve filed a suit, so as I see it there are three scenarios here:
- He’s too stupid to listen to his lawyers.
- His lawyers are too stupid to advise him to shut up.
- They’re trying a public pressure campaign against Mozilla to get Mozilla to capitulate before their case goes too far. They’re hoping that the headlines of “Mozilla hates cancer patients!” will cause enough bad press that Mozilla will want to get the case over with quicker by settling sooner, especially if Teixiera doesn’t have a very strong case.

Yeah, I’m gonna wait a bit before bringing out the pitchforks.
A plaintiff in a civil suit can allege anything they want, but that doesn’t mean they’re being 100% truthful. Any lawyer will slant the facts as much as possible to make their client look as injured as they can to garner the most sympathy- that’s just lawyering 101. We have his version of events but don’t have Mozilla’s, but the fact that he’s publicly shit-talking the company (rather than let the legal process play out) doesn’t cast him in a good light IMO.

“Dissolution” is the word you’re looking for.
- Comment on Google's AI Overviews now link to Wikipedia and LinkedIn more than Reddit, study finds 1 week ago:
I would have taught Google everything they wanted to know about Reddit and Redditors for only $30 million.
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 1 month ago:
Actually, that’s probably the one excuse that wouldn’t fly. The only company that cancels more stuff randomly and with no reason than Netflix is Google.
- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 1 month ago:
From what I could see, the releases are specifically for Majora’s Mask, and not the tool used to recompile N64 games in general.
- Comment on Recompilation: An Incredible New Way to Keep N64 Games Alive 1 month ago:
So uh…
For someone who loves N64 games but has literally never used git, how would one go about compiling this?

Geralt’s flowing locks caused Nvidia cards to crash comes to mind.

That’s a weird way to spell “microtransacted live service”.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
what State’s have battery fabs? not KY, obviously - but, others, presumably?
Set to start production next year:
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
This is so infuriating, especially when it’s so easy to show that voting against progressive initiatives also hurts their own constituents…
“I don’t care how much it hurts me, as long as the people I hate are also getting hurt!”
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
This guy is a chump and I wish someone would have called him out on his BS.
It’s no wonder. He’s a Republican, so that automatically makes him a assbag. Also, Toyota has a Camry manufacturing plant in Georgetown, Ford assembles Escapes in Louisville, and of course GM makes Corvettes in Bowling Green, so it’s no surprise that he’d be regressive towards automotive tech (even though Ford and SK are spending like $4 billion to build two battery manufactuing plants outside Louisville).
- Comment on Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link 1 month ago:
And I’m sure the reason you’re mad about this now, and not three months ago, is because of ethics in gaming journalism, right?
- Comment on Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link 1 month ago:
-
Nobody is locked out. Nothing has as yet changed.
-
The Steam page has said “PSN account required” since day one. Anyone opposed to creating a PSN account on moral grounds and bought HD2 has no one to blame but themselves.

- Comment on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died 1 month ago:
However, because of the widespread press coverage of the previous “suicide”, it makes sense that if additional whistleblowers were being killed, that the methods would grow increasingly complex and obfuscated.
This only matters if 1) you don’t want anyone to know it was you, or 2) you want people to know it was you to send a message, and you’re not afraid of any repercussions.
- Comment on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died 1 month ago:
They wouldn’t abandon a child.
They would ** use** the child as much as possible to save themselves. Noisemaker for a search party, small hands to reach into tight spaces, easy bear escape mechanism, etc.

… But you’re right that it is often considered the cause of many of their problems: Valve’s unusual corporate structure causes its problems, report suggests
If you look at the list of games developed by Valve it kinda becomes apparent that the only reason Valve is still around (or operates in such a free-flow manner) is because Steam is so profitable. Their release of notable titles is spotty, at best:
- CS 2, 2023
- HL:Alyx, 2020
- DOTA: Underlords 2020
- Artifact (RIP) 2018
- DOTA 2 2013

You don’t want line to go up? That smells like commie talk!
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 1 month ago:
This is exactly why people started appending “site:www.reddit.com” to their searches. It was much easier (but not guaranteed) to find organic discussion and reviews of products.
Of course, nothing gold can stay, and this tarnish appeared by way of pigfucker Spez making Reddit worse by allowing corporations to flood the site with bots in the name of boosting MAUs for the IPO. That said, I can appreciate the position Google is in- how do you get to be a search engine of such size that your users can trust your results you deliver to them, filter out SEO spam, and have the whole system automated due to costs?
Or rather, I would appreciate that position, if Google were more interested in quality search results than in spam advertising.

Combined with social media spaces that refused to shut that shit down immediately because it was too profitable to.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 month ago:
You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?
Or when Windows XP went EoL?
Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?
This isn’t the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it’ll be better or worse than previously? Some will begin the Win11 transition, some will pay for extended support until Windows 12, a few might switch to Linux, and the rest will run unsecured until circumstances force them to fix it.
- Comment on Here’s your chance to own a decommissioned US government supercomputer 1 month ago:
They didn’t just pop in a LiveCD and click “Install”.
Obviously not. In 2017, they would have used a live USB thumbdrive instead of a CD.

It’s kinda buried:
All of which makes the decision to get rid of senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci—along with her entire team—a bit of a head-scratcher.
