- Comment on Fedora Linux project agrees to allow AI-assisted contributions with a new policy 1 week ago:
Imo, better to allow it cautiously, with restrictions, and very explicitly mark code as AI generated when it is, than to have people submitting code secretly made by AI.
Furthermore, let’s be honest AI knows anything it knows about coding because of open source code. So take what you can get I guess. Just keep the quality up.

That’s the key. They want to mine and sell the data

- Comment on No heat, collapsing roofs, and buckets for toilets: While Russia spends billions on the war in Ukraine, its schools are literally falling apart 5 weeks ago:
God. Why the fuck can we not stop spending money on killing eachother and instead invest in our future and let people just live their lives.
Oh yeah, I remember. Greedy psychopaths in power. Imperialism. Facism. Capitalism without regulation. Dictators who cling to power and don’t care about their own people. The list goes on.
- Comment on Foreign doctors in Gaza describe worst wounds 'they've ever seen' 5 weeks ago:
Almost like when you’re killing a civilian population, then the injuries are going to be worse because you’re targeting the civilians.
What’s that word for killing all of a specific group of people again?
- Comment on Trump ties autism risk to Tylenol as scientists urge caution 5 weeks ago:
A key belief of the heritage foundation (project 2025) is to stop women from getting any sort of pain relief during birth. The pain is an impprtant part of process as “we were born into sin”
This is likely them taking the first step in that direction. They want to get rid of epidurals and force women to have ‘natural’ births.

Yep. Will def pick it up once it’s done lol
- Comment on Mozilla now lets Firefox add-on devs roll back bad updates 5 weeks ago:
Seems like there’s a security vulnerability here. Ship bad extension. Update code to not be bad. Conditionally rollback based on remote server. Can pick who you attack conditionally and most people don’t have bad code running.

Amazing. Love it
- Comment on Anti-cheat looks like a no-go on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck for Arena Breakout: Infinite 1 month ago:
So any game that needs anticheat is shit? I guess you only think single player games are fun then
- Comment on Balatro's 1.1 update won't come out this year, so developer Localthunk can keep working at a healthy pace 1 month ago:
100% this. I really love these small indie games where you buy it. And… Surprise you actually own it. It works and it doesn’t need a weekly patch for the monthly season pass.
And then for some reason the devs actually love what they built and they keep giving updates which is amazing and an added bonus but far from expected and definitely not necessary because the game is already complete.
- Comment on Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port 1 month ago:
Heh that’s cool. For now. Enshittification must march on
- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 1 month ago:
Yeah. I agree with this
Additionally, GamePasses are designed to force developers to have to use them. If enough people are using it, they’re going to be way more resistant to paying additional money for a game that isn’t in the game pass. This means that it locks users into a platform, and takes the consumers away from the game makers meaning the developers lose. Lose if they are on the game pass, lose if they aren’t.
Just another enshitification where the middleman is the only winner.
- Comment on Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s bad for consumers which means more money for Nintendo (and publishers) Reselling a physical game card nets 0 profit for either Nintendo nor the game publisher. They really have 0 incentive to go out of their way to support it, sadly.

- Comment on AI crawlers destroying websites in hunger for content 1 month ago:
Sounds like a feature not a bug. Steal the content and take away the source of the content? Win win. Then the content can only be obtained via the AI.

- Comment on FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper 1 month ago:
Well that’s pretty cool. Also given that it’s ffmpeg, I assume they did it in an agnostic way where you can toss any model at it.

Looks like it’s time to switch.

- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 months ago:
“Today, AI is the voice in the drive-thru that can’t hear our orders. It’s killing the livelihood of creative workers. It’s the thing you have to do at work, whether you like it or not. It’s making search engines unusable. It’s a justification for corporate layoffs. It’s plagiarism. It’s killing information access. It’s taking credit for the work of visual effects artists. It’s a serial liar. It’s harming our critical thinking and memory skills. It’s mecha-Hitler. It’s the really annoying popup. It’s wealth inequality. It’s a crutch for the loneliness epidemic. It’s the industrial polluter. It’s the scammer faking your voice for predatory phone calls. It’s the military-industrial complex. It’s the book that could kill you. It’s exploiting social media algorithms with fake content.”
- Comment on GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android 2 months ago:
If they depend exclusively on the Google safety net attestation service this is true. GrapheneOS supports even stronger attestation though, they just have to choose to implement it properly: grapheneos.org/…/attestation-compatibility-guide
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 months ago:
I like the article, but agree with so many of the comments here as well.
Ultimately I think one thing I’d love for would be a way to simply provide services (like Immich) for people but where the client is end to end encrypted, and neither the user nor the service has to worry about the how.
Example: how can I share an Immich with my family and friends, but where I don’t have access to any of their data. I.e. what signal does, but immich or any other service. I want to share my server with friends/family, but I don’t want access to any of their data. It isn’t a lack of trust, it’s that I don’t want that as even something they have to worry about
That same concept then extends here to community hosting. If we can solve the problem for a few, it should be scalable to many.
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 months ago:
Thank you for the detailed reply! Yeah I realize now Mestastic.Org has everything I need.
Planning to prolly get:
A rak wireless kit for a local repeater on my roof powered via PoE, and then a ttgo techo for my personal device.
I know that I should just get the latter and play with it first, but I live high on a hill with a great vantage point of the city so feels like a disservice to the community if I don’t also host a repeater.
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 months ago:
How do I do this? Shats the easiest way to get started?
Both a personal device and a repeater on my house
