- Comment on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash 13 hours ago:
Don’t worry. They are still partnered with that taser and body armor making company I can’t remember that name of. Flok will probably just pull from them which pulls from Ring, so they’ll get the data somehow.
- Comment on Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay Trailer 16 hours ago:
I am very interested in this, but the fact they’re “slow rolling” actual pod racing is…an odd choice. Everybody universally liked Episode 1 Racer. Why are they not focusing primarily on pod racing, with other types of vehicles also there?
Seems weird that it’s the other way around and makes me think this is another Star Wars Squadrons, which is a game I was extremely excited about, but the controls sucked on and EA botched.

If you like the style of gameplay, it is nothing like it’s original launch state.

Lol what the actual fuck is this game. I’m interested, but also slightly disturbed 😂
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 days ago:
It has voice and video. It’s more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.
I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It’s awesome.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 6 days ago:
I have gone all AMD graphics since converting to Linux. My 9060XT 16GB and 6600 8GB both are going strong.
Fuck NVidia.

Do their switches still stop forwarding traffic when you make changes for 10-30 seconds?
- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 3 weeks ago:
I upgraded all of my devices to 16gb or 32gb of RAM just as all this crap started happening, before prices spiked, and made sure I have enough storage.
Now I’m just praying that all of the hardware holds out for 2-3 years to weather this storm. Please keep on chugging, my 5800X in a B550 mobo…I literally can’t afford to replace you anytime soon.

Banning groups like that only amplifies their “persecuted” persona. It’s best to spend on education and destroying their credibility, which is how we dealt with fucking idiots before we got complacent.

It’s Copilot all the way down.

- Comment on The new version of PCSX2 2.6.02, the free open source PlayStation 2 emulator is released 5 weeks ago:
I started to get really nervous reading the beginning of the headline, expecting some litigation thing. Glad I was wrong and it’s just a wonderful update blog.

I prefer Cura and it has native binaries and Flatpak.

Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 1 month ago:
TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.
Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?
- Comment on Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux) 1 month ago:
Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 1 month ago:
They only need to open source the kernel. They can build whatever proprietary stuff they want on top of the Linux kernel.

The first two…I’ll graciously call them “sentences”… I got the context of…once I got to the third one, my brain was like “I haven’t partaken in enough brain rot to understand this new form of damaged English language”.

There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out.
It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL.
Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day.
It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel.
Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.
