It’s frustrating that people are so bad at dates that ISO8601 lives rent-free in my head because I constantly have to tell people ;)
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
my apologies, I was actually thinking of “unlocking the bootloader”, rooting a device without an unlocked bootloader didn’t even occur to me. And since unlocking a bootloader is non-trivial by design, that would prevent any such accidents.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
Rooting a device shouldn’t be any more complicated than having a sticker saying “warranty void if removed”.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
Why not force them to unlock root from the start?

Seriously, fuck Oracle with a rusty rebar. They already ruined mysql.
mysql -> MariaDB OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 4 weeks ago:
“…it seems like you may be referring to a private person rather than a widely known public figure. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have any specific public information on him unless he has gained some public recognition for a particular achievement.”
If you didn’t specifically search for “Mr. <name>”, that would be quite the sexist attitude to assume that person is a “him” ;)
PS: please don’t use LLMs, they produce nothing of value and contribute to idiots being deceived.

That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
short of a website provider having access to my provider ip over time vs. customer data, how is my browser fingerprint uniquely identifying me when I clear cookies every now and then and often resize the browser window? Genuinely curious - obviously between clearing cookies there’s an issue, and also if I use logins to any websites that share data with some asshat like google analytics, they will recognize me across websites. And of course with the latest mozilla data grab, things will get worse :/

Sincere apologies for that piece of shit. /a German.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
“Fanperson” is an insult now? Cry me a river, snowflake. Also, you weren’t disagreeing, you were explaining something to someone perceived less knowledgeable than you, while demonstrating you have no grasp of the core difference between stochastics and AI.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
Here we go… Fanperson explaining the world to the dumb lost sheep. Thank you so much for stepping down from your high horse to try and educate a simple person. /s
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
Not sure if we need that particular bubble to pop for us to be drowned in a sea of shit, looking at the state of the world right now :( But silicon valley seems to be at the core of this clusterfuck, as if all the villains form there or flock there…
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
I feel like I have found a lone voice of sanity in a jungle of brainless fanpeople sucking up the snake oil and pretending LLMs are AI. A simple control loop is closer to AI than a stochastic parrot, as you correctly put it.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 2 months ago:
It used to be a legitimate choice to publish for Windows. Even when Microsoft started trying to force every private file into the cloud, I wouldn’t have chosen such drastic words. But with the fall of the divided states of america to an authoritarian regime of rapist / pedo billionaires, if you still develop for Windows, where do you draw the line? Gas chambers? And my objection to Windows is not because of Microsoft. It’s because of being the government system, that the totalitarian government has its hands on all kinds of backdoors and will use them to sabotage democracies whereever they can.

My point is Windows is an ecosystem enabling totalitarian regimes and exposes all user privacy to corporations. Developing anything for Windows-only strengthens that ecosystem and is thereby anti-humanity, antidemocratic and just overall an awful decision.

Windows only - no interest.

Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 5 months ago:
You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.
Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid some gamers are, doesn’t it?
