In few years we have moved from nonsensical Musk worshipping to nonsensical Musk hating.
- Comment on Intel & Samsung Are Reportedly Inking A "Foundry Alliance", Sharing Production Facilities Along With Process Tech 4 weeks ago:
That’s one way to kill off the remaining American foundry business, since if US can’t compete now and Korean and Chinese workers are as good, then there is no reason to shift production off in the long term.

- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 1 month ago:
I really do wonder why they ended up in this. It can’ be that hard to make even a hacky DIY system to do it automatically. The navigation system just had to have some digital or even analog output, then it would be just the problem of interpreting the signal with some script and writing it into a file.
When Wilby recommended the company use standard software to process ping data and plot the sub’s telemetry automatically, the response was that the company wanted to develop an in-house system, but didn’t have enough time.

Investors want it, because they want to ride the wave towards profit. It doesn’t matter if it’s good, sustainable or not. That is what matters.
- Comment on Ukraine Bans Telegram Use For State, Military Officials. 1 month ago:
How secure something is an spectrum. Sure self hosted matrix is a lot safer than sending your messages through meta servers for example. It’s about what is the threat levels of what one is doing. Total tinfoiling like writing your own quantum proof multi encryption ciphers and sending that over an tamper proof usb stick with self destruct mechanism by a carrier pridgeon is not necessary or practical for average people who just want privacy, but for critical government applications and especially the military it might be. That is what we are talking about here.
- Comment on Qualcomm approached Intel about acquisition, report claims 1 month ago:
be that as it may, my point still stands. Nobody is realistically getting into that market.
- Comment on Qualcomm approached Intel about acquisition, report claims 1 month ago:
What makes you think that consolidation of markets isn’t how the free market operates as it matures? As if the X86 market was any way competitive and healthy before when there are literally two companies sharing critical patents with each other and gatekeeping the competition out.
- Comment on Ukraine Bans Telegram Use For State, Military Officials. 1 month ago:
I would never risk any third party messaging service in military or critical state matters. It’s just common sense, even for a layman. Everything is compromised, Telegram is, Whatsapp is, Signal is, all of them are.

- Comment on Denmark is the 5th country to pass the #StopKillingGames EU threshold - 340K out of 1M signatures in total! 2 months ago:
Just imagine how much worse it would have been for sony with Concord in the EU if this law were reality. Flop a game, a live service game no less and then they would have to leave it in a playable state for like a couple hundred people that ever played it in the EU. I don’t know how this law would work in this case. Would they be mandated to give out the server code that people could run their own servers?
It’s really ambiguous how it would or how it would be revised work for games that are multiplayer only.
- Comment on Telegram CEO's arrest sparks flurry of questions over motivation, privacy impact. 2 months ago:
Because almost nobody uses Matrix compared to Telegram. And it’s not even about if some people can slip through the fingers of western intel services, it’s about controlling the narrative and putting the clamps on information and telegram is almost as much of a news site as it’s a live chat. Telegram is just popular enough that it pokes holes into narratives and harms the mainstream media bubble.
- Comment on Rumble boss ‘departed’ from Europe after Telegram CEO arrest 2 months ago:
They are already cooperating with law enforcement and 5 eyes. There is no reason to arrest them. Pavel was arrested because they want a backdoor in Telegram to spy and sensor. But I guess it’s the good kind of spying and censorship :)
- Comment on German Navy to replace aging 8-inch floppy drives with an emulated solution for its anti-submarine frigates 4 months ago:
Hey it still works and does it’s job it was designed to do. The problem with driving in a model T is that you can’t easily get a mechanic, manufacturers support or spare parts if something breaks down or you want to like want to install a new modern sound system for example. Like with the floppy disk the real problem is that they can’t upgrade it very easily and make compatible with the upgrades that is ten tech generation ahead of the existing systems, not that it’s old per se.
- Comment on German Navy to replace aging 8-inch floppy drives with an emulated solution for its anti-submarine frigates 4 months ago:
It might have been selected just for reliability sake. That is how especially militaries usually want them. better to have a tested lesser product of the last gen, than to have the current gen wild card tech that may or may not have a intolerable amount of bugs and problems that could in a combat situation get the ship wrecked and the crew killed.
as always in government, you get the minimum that satisfies the contract. This is true. That is what you get when you combine governments nearly unlimited budgets with private profit seeking and very little to no oversight. It’s either audit the private contractor in everything all the time or have some state company or institution do the product or service for you.
- Comment on Unofficial Reddit API 4 months ago:
Because reddit still has a huge userbase compared to Lemmy and that brings content, engagement and revenue, they are an institution of the internet at this point. Reddit posts are part of google results while Lemmy does not, when people have a problem they find old reddit threads for help, guides and tech support, not so with Lemmy. I would say 95% of reddit userbase doesn’t even know that Lemmy exists. One fuck up will not kill reddit as it currently is, they are too massive, one fuck up might kill Lemmy, if it just doesn’t slowly waste away. Reddit would have to fuck up constantly over a long period of time, kill communities, put features behind paywall, get caught in spying of the users, etc. And each time Lemmy would have to be advertizing itself in every twist and turn to get those users and not alienate them and be able to support the growing userbase and gain some benefit from them and them not just be a cost sink of lurkers.

- Comment on US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk' 4 months ago:
This.
Most of the tech stack is american controlled and that is a security and privacy risk to everybody. From instruction set architecture to control over the social media. To American enemies, American allies… american’s themselves nobody is safe… probably the those that are best at mitigating said risk or take any steps at all are the American enemies.
- Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense 4 months ago:
I haven’t had much hope that if there was an major asteroid racing towards earth that there could be much done about it, but I also know that likelyhood of it is very small so there is no need to lose sleep over it.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
While wikipedia is decent at giving overviews on some scientific and technical topics, but when there is a topic about something that is historical and/or any way politically or monetarily relevant there will be an edit war to change it to suit one interest groups wishes or anothers. It really is a cesspool of psyops, misinformation and articles to be basically corporate PR at certain topics, and that is just because google usually gives wikipedia articles as first or second result on any given subject and it’s a really cost effective way to propagandize people and doing it is really low cost. Now Russia just monopolizes the propaganda inside their own borders.

- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
It’s the only big non-US owned social media. They hate that because it’s much harder to control. It’s not even about the profits to be had, tiktok gets more eyeballs and especially it gets the young people’s attention and has more public thrusts than all of the MSM combined. It’s not much more complex than that. “Chinese spying on Americans” is just projection of what all the other platforms do.
Those who push this will not be happy no matter what Tiktok does or whatever concessions it makes. They already hold american data in American and EU data in the EU for example. Did that stop the “muh CCP influence” propaganda? Well, no… Their main goal would be to get Bytedance to sell the platform to Americans, atleast the american business. I guess they would rather let it get banned and sacrifice American or even all the western markets than to let that happen. It would be a loss to them either way.

- Comment on It's not just about facts: Democrats and Republicans have sharply different attitudes about removing misinformation from social media 1 year ago:
And who decides what is being taught if this is to be solved with education? That still just falls into the same dogma enforcement that presupposes objective truth especially in political matters. it just turns from censorship to indoctrination of some kind. There can be no real discussion about political matters if it’s presupposed that there is such thing as objective truth in some hard science sense in political discourse, because then every side in an argument from a position of objective truth and there is no way to compromise or approach the other side when everybody are either heretics or believers to your side.
- Comment on US Govt Speeds Up Export Restrictions for Nvidia's GPUs 1 year ago:
Remember that Huawei already broke through the mobile SoC barrier that was thought to be impossible with their new chip recently? Oh I wonder what is going to happen next… Well the Chinese have been much further in their domestic GPU/AI accelerator development. They just end up creating Chinese domestic competition and at worst global competition for US tech sector. I say Washington is desperate and treading water with it’s sanction war and will end up slowing china for a bit on the short term, but en up shooting themselves in the leg on the long to medium term with this one.

- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 devs warn players of performance problems: 'we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted' 1 year ago:
problem is not on a development level, but rather on a project management and (particularly) an executive level.
In any industry as time progresses the production becomes more and more capital intensive and that needs more and bigger investors and all that capital means that there is a bigger risk and that is mitigated by the investors by requiring “their guys” to staff the management and these people are unusually really bad for the technical and actual value side of the business on the long run, because they are usually people with financial or marketing backgrounds. They fundamentally work by the logic of profit maximization and there are always easier and more surefire ways toi achieve that than with supplying a good product. It’s even worse when the end product is something that could be considered “art”. In AAA it all eventually leads into pushing bland installments of the same once successful franchise out one after another because that is where the risks are lowest and money is made.

Knowing intel and their recent performance gains it just needs a small nuclear reactor as a PSU.
