unironically ironic
i took the bait

That’s exactly it. If you’re trusting Elon with the future of work you really should evaluate your position, and whether that anime pfp is doing you any favours

these companies know what they’re doing
AGI is right around the corner
Shouldn’t be surprised that anime profile pic couldn’t believe they’re being lied to on the internet.

- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 weeks ago:
Peripherals and IO will do that. Cores pulling 5-6W while IO die pulls 6-10W
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 3 weeks ago:
HBM is what’s used for enterprise AI hardware, and not at all used in the consumer space, at least in recent years
The problem is you need RAM for the OS/General Purpose parts which share the same manufacturing lines as consumer stuff.
On top of all of this, memory companies just aren’t going to prioritize consumers when billions of dollars are coming from Enterprise AI
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 4 weeks ago:
Remember to do this on a machine you don’t care about, or are prepared for Windows to no longer work. Windows doesn’t play nice with other operating systems.

Play with this first if you want
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
I think this is the goal that it would be priced competitively with the Pro or higher end consoles
They’ve built an ecosystem that gives you that console experience and if you really want to use it as a PC then you can.
The whole thing screams high quality experience for those that want it to just work or those that want to tinker
They really know their audience
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc
The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.
You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony
Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3

The Ukraine military has been using steam decks on the front line Do you really think it’s affected their bottom line?
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
They actually do, they’re just locked down from factory
github.com/SleepTheGod/…/README.md
Remember that PS2 natively supported this and modern consoles like the Switch can boot directly into desktop Linux.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
The steam deck is also a small PC, just like the consoles and was priced perfectly for success
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
So you admit that you asked questions, specifically why, then told me my answer was your answer
Peak interaction you’ve got there
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
I suggest you revisit each response where you asked a question and let me know the count
All data on the internet is crawled and farmed. Weakening regulations doesn’t change this behaviour, just makes it legal
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
You’re the one asking questions about changing it
It’s clear that weaker regulations allow them to do more with impunity as I originally stated
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
Because laws are supposed to have teeth and consequences There is zero doubt that everything public on the internet or otherwise is consumed and aggregated by these companies; you still don’t understand why weakening regulations benefits them?
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
Are you asking me why some in Europe want to make it legal? Because they’re already doing it, just they want to make it legal
Make sense?
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
Because they want to strip the right to privacy so they can better monetize
Naive to think the GDPR is stopping anyone now.
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
And my point was they’re already doing this in the face of regulation.
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 5 weeks ago:
As if the GDPR was a barrier to IP theft

- Comment on Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 3 months ago:
It’s almost as if nuance and context matters.
How much energy does a human use to write a Wikipedia article? Now also measure the accuracy and completeness of the article.
Now do the same for AI.
Objective metrics are what is missing, because much of what we hear is “phd-level inference” and it’s still just a statistical, probabilistic generator.
