- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 1 week ago:
It’s still infuriating that he could theoretically make the WALL-E earth a reality
- Comment on Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced 2 weeks ago:
inb4 ai bros vibe code a Linux client in docker to expose this as an openai compatible API so they can get free tokens, and square Enix Just bans all Linux users
- Comment on The Art of the Deal 2 weeks ago:
Then sell the electricity back to the us at premium prices
- Comment on The Art of the Deal 2 weeks ago:
The terms are that the trump admin will give them the Money only if/when that french company builds a gigaproject on fossil fuels. And it’s 99.9% sure that he will change his taco mind on that when it’s time to open the wallet
- Comment on The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside US 2 weeks ago:
I’m guessing to receive an exemption they just need to pay a relatively cheap bribe
- Comment on Astral to Join OpenAI 2 weeks ago:
Why?
Codex uses npm, no? Why do they need ruff and uv??
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 weeks ago:
Are you talking about copilot, that bar that is on the side of Microsoft edge or something else? Maybe GitHub Copilot?
Because that copilot bar on Microsoft edge is literally a pointless waste of electricity
- Comment on CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court 3 weeks ago:
I use them with noscript on Firefox with everything blocked except main domain, because it’s a fake bot detection page that actually is doing DDoS on other websites
- Comment on CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chats 3 weeks ago:
And then they will be able to finally replicate that black mirror episode where someone is paying a subscription to chat with a LLM trained on the chats of the deceased partner
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
In Europe the price it’s not that appealing, it’s €699 and because they “care about environment 😉” the €99 charger (which is almost mandatory for a new user) is sold separately.
At €798 for 256g/8g it’s not as good as the $599 they’re selling in the US.
If someone is price sensitive, can get 3-4 refurbished ThinkPads with better specs for that price and run Linux much easier without hoping on some volunteer wizard to reverse engineer the proprietary components
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 3 weeks ago:
I saw an unboxing for a TV for a Chinese market and it refused to start until the owner paired it with a Chinese phone otp for “age verification” 😉
- Comment on "US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe 4 weeks ago:
It’s not because they banned us citizens. It’s because the us government is one of the few ones that wants to tax stuff that their citizens earned in other countries, so banks and similar they need to report wealth and income to the government
The checkbox isn’t “if you’re American we can’t offer you services”, when you select that, then you have an extra form to fill, that’s it
- Comment on System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks 4 weeks ago:
Facebook is lobbying them so they don’t have to do age checks on Instagram and can maximize the revenue
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 4 weeks ago:
Really, it’s too slow. The 40 mins episodes could be condensed in 5 minutes shorts.
I rage quit during an episode where Kim Wexler asked “do you want a cup of tea?” And then proceeded of preparing it in FUCKING REAL TIME!!
Ok, it’s more cinematic, but usually when they do this they just take a cup prefilled behind the counter and move on, don’t need to show the whole process. Ok, probably it’s intentional, to show the detail how how empty and lonely were the cupboards but…
So, for me it’s too slow to be watched with full attention but at the same time there are too many important details that are shown “silently” to be watched while doing errands or something else
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 4 weeks ago:
That is supposed to be even with Microsoft office, because it changes the fonts without warning and adjusts the margins according to the default printer. It’s not a format designed to be shared with other people
- Comment on BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient 4 weeks ago:
15 years ago it was a revolutionary idea
- Comment on They're calling it the Trump Laptop. Highest quality. So affordable. We're making technology great again, folks. 4 weeks ago:
That one I don’t understand. It’s just a gold colored Chinese phone from Alibaba. Probably they put more effort in designing the box than
designing the phone itselfchoosing the right tone of the gold color for the plastics. It takes 1 week of consultation with the manufacturer (ok, two weeks, because they need to explain how important that a gold wallpaper is set as default) and two months to import them. What are they waiting? Mr FIFA peace prize just want the money and deliver a “air” phone? - Comment on Meta's AI display glasses reportedly share intimate videos with human moderators 4 weeks ago:
you’re punishing those poor guys that are doing the job for $10/month. zucc doesn’t care at all as they are already giving ptsd to thousands of moderators tasked of watching the reported gore videos
- Comment on More police busts in Italy 4 weeks ago:
kids have cutters and scissors in their stationery kit and that is more dangerous than this toys. They way they presented the evidence make it look like they seized some meth factory and not “kids underestimated that printing toys that look like weapons and bring them to school is not a good idea”
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 weeks ago:
Consider that this is an iPhone 16 in a MacBook shell, though. This gives you performance comparable a 5 years old used MacBook M1. It’s usable, but it’s designed to act as a gateway drug, you’ll immediately hit storage and memory limits and want to buy a more expensive one.
8gb of RAM in 2026 where most modern apps are made in electron and a basic text editor takes half gig to show a blank page is less than ideal
- Comment on Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman 4 weeks ago:
They are already on the enshittification path.
After the “please disregard copyright and generate all the Ghibli-style photos that you want” phase, now they enforce a 24 hour cooldown after any kind of image upload
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 weeks ago:
I wonder how the survey has been done?
Because if it has been done by phone, “do you want x to be banned if it continues to break the law?”, then it’s biased because X is historically used as a placeholder and only a ketamine addict could think that is a good idea to destroy a brand for that
- Comment on How we are brought into this world 4 weeks ago:
Weird that a Wikipedia article reads like satire like that
- Comment on More police busts in Italy 5 weeks ago:
The article writes as the two kids were printing the toys using the school 3d printer, a third saw what they were doing and wanted to report them, at that point they threatened him
- Comment on More police busts in Italy 5 weeks ago:
The article actually said the kid was threatened because wanted to snitch

- Comment on FreeCad in docker 5 weeks ago:
The docker image streams the app using vnc via the browser, which is inefficient and laggy
- Comment on Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ 5 weeks ago:
That style of moustache went out of fashion very rapidly after that photo
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 5 weeks ago:
The “your driver license is invalid immediately” is super fucking infuriating, especially in a country where without a driving license means being unemployable
Fucking scum, a driving license has nothing to do with sex. It is meant to prove that the cardholder is able to drive a vehicle or not.
Luckily I live in a continent where the cardholder sex isn’t mentioned at all in the driving license (eu directive of 2006)
