  Yeah I mean clickbait titles gonna clickbait. Linux is great and steamos / proton are amazing. It’s incredible how well they do perform, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As AI Data Centers Disrupt US Cities, Wisconsin Woman Violently Arrested After Speaking Out⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  100%. At that point the data center is just stealing from everyone else.

  Every one is just subsidizing the data center with their electrical, water, etc… Bill.

  Love my pebble, and it isn’t a data sucking privacy nightmare. It’s simple and not addicting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK jury trials for crimes with sentences under 3 years to be dropped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. The government can fuck anyone over and there’s nothing the citizens can do because there’s no jury nullification to hold the government in check for unreasonable laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK jury trials for crimes with sentences under 3 years to be dropped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s not fucked. Nothing says we’re going to charge you with 2 years and 364 days for doing whatever the fuck we don’t want you to do. And there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.

  Right I feel like an ultra simple car / truck with no fancy features but an electric motor would actually being something to market that would sell. Eap when it should be $30k or less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fedora Linux project agrees to allow AI-assisted contributions with a new policy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨Inside the web infrastructure revolt over Google’s AI Overviews - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah cloudflare is too large.

• ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  All the things we didn’t ask for.

  Yep. Will def pick it up once it’s done lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla now lets Firefox add-on devs roll back bad updates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Massive Attack Turns Concert Into Facial Recognition Surveillance Experiment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazing. Love it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-cheat looks like a no-go on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck for Arena Breakout: Infinite⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨The Future of Accrescent App store: "in 3 months, we will no longer have enough resources to continue ongoing feature development without additional funding"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this. You’re telling me this isn’t just an OSS project by some mel in their basement?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFmpeg moves to Forgejo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it’s time to switch.

  Interesting. Wonder why they forked gitea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate AI because it's everything we hate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.”
