- Comment on Civilization VII team at Firaxis Games faces layoffs 3 days ago:
Surely that’s normal for a game project? You need fewer people to maintain and make expansion content than you do to create the game.
Not saying it’s ethical but it sounds like that’s the expected timing.

Oh no doubt. Any kind of secession would be resolved with a civil war, and the final borders might not be recognizable.

- Comment on Chinese social media platforms roll out labels for AI-generated material 1 week ago:
I think it’s dangerous honestly. Because something missing the AI tag will be considered more authoritative even if it’s mislabeled.
If the tags were 100% accurate I’d agree that it would be a good thing, but that’s mathematically impossible.
- Comment on Chhoto URL v6.3.0 is out now: A simple, blazingly fast, selfhosted URL shortener with no unnecessary features; written in Rust. 1 week ago:
I love projects like this. Do one thing, super well, without adding a kajillion dependencies. I love the vanilla HTML / CSS approach.

Specifically obstructing law enforcement (especially ICE) or wasting their time stops them from carrying out fascist orders.

- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 weeks ago:
It’s evolving, just towards authoritarianism.
- Comment on Messenger signals that cue plants to ‘eat’ and ‘breathe’ revealed for first time 2 weeks ago:
Serious: this is a fascinating discovery that could have enormous implications for agriculture. Being able to command a plant to perform actions on cue could let us optimize growth.
Silly: the researcher’s last name is Assmann lol.

- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
Because we’re talking about the inherent latency of the connection, obviously.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
Of course. Still, an exception doesn’t disprove expected averages.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
Probably no. Your ping is abnormally high for fiber, I’d expect a sub 10ms ping for you.
- Comment on Everytime i come across a 3d printing post 3 weeks ago:
Any 3D printed gun is carbon negative if used to take out virtually any human. People do not live sustainable lives.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
Starlink has much better latency than most satellites, but still 10 to 50 times as much as fiber.
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 3 weeks ago:
Most people aren’t technical enough to install an ad blocker, believe it or not.
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 3 weeks ago:
On the flip side, most websites are so ad-ridden these days a reader mode or other summary tool is almost required for normal browsing. Not saying that AI is the right move, but I can understand not wanting to visit the actual page any more.
- Comment on They will remember 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but then the joke doesn’t work.
- Comment on They will remember 3 weeks ago:
It’s really insensitive to use a blue screen when apologizing for robophobic stereotypes.
- Comment on Some game developers are far too shameless about generative AI use 3 weeks ago:
Eh, this is one of the mildly entertaining uses of AI. I really don’t feel strongly about a game I’ll likely never try.
People using AI to systematically gaslight the population for personal gain are the ones causing real problems.

Surely this isn’t taking into consideration insect populations, right? I’m pretty damn sure I’ll be reincarnated as an ant.
- Comment on New executive order puts all grants under political control 4 weeks ago:
It’s easy for old people to be short-sighted. They don’t have to take responsibility for fucking things up in the long term, because they’ll be dead.
Stable governments should elect people that have a reason to plan long term.
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 5 weeks ago:
Instant recall would be huge in the US. People here have extremely short memories.
