- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 16 hours ago:
Yeah, I’ve tried all of the compatibility programs.
Some will run using those, but in a very, very sluggish way.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 day ago:
I love to hear it, but only about 70% of mine work on Linux, so I’m stuck with a dual boot. 99% Linux is better than no Linux, at least.
- Comment on ICE Will Use AI to Surveil Social Media 3 days ago:
There are going to be so, so many false positives.
Not that it matters. The shitty data LLM’s produce hasn’t stopped them yet.
- Comment on When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day" 5 days ago:
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.
- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 6 days ago:
I want to punch every rich motherfucker who blames it on coffee purchases in the neck.

These bastards, man.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
In the spring and summer, in a park near my home, there’s a three feet-tall crane that makes appearances before sunup, and on the days I can’t sleep, I get up early to go see him. Birds can be really neat.
- Comment on Amazon Web Services outage hits major websites: What we know so far as recovery begins 1 week ago:
These fuckers need to stop using LLMs to generate code when they need things to function with precision.
- Comment on Looking more like insider trading scam than AI bubble: Open AI raises commitments/partnerships to 36GW with new 10gw Broadcom deal 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah.
Knowing that it’s just seven companies propping up the US economy, and the private ones don’t have to publicly report if they just lost half a trillion dollars, it gives one pause. I’m definitely reevaluating if and when I want to move my investments to cash.
- Comment on Getting old and would like a better way to track health the self hosted way 2 weeks ago:
You could build your own spreadsheet using LibreOffice Spreadsheets.
I’ve been meaning to do it because my diet doesn’t change much, and it would just be easier to track it myself.
- Comment on Batman probably checks for the bat signal the way we check our screens for notifications. 2 weeks ago:
It’s probably Alfred stuck watching for the signal, really.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 weeks ago:
Good to see you get some good utility from it. 💪😎
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 2 weeks ago:
It’s objectively a bad thing when a country’s entire economy is being propped up by seven companies and the vast majority of consumer spending is concentrated in the top 1%.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 weeks ago:
That’s awesome, but I don’t need it. :)
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 weeks ago:
I’m kind of glad that I don’t mind flipping switches and pressing buttons. I’ve never felt the need for a smart home, so this stuff hasn’t affected me much personally.
- Comment on Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal 2 weeks ago:
the only way to change our course is violence at this point.
Sadly, yes.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 weeks ago:
And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.
It’s not meat.
It’s cars and planes. We know this because we observed a drastic drop in air pollution in both 2008 (following the financial crash) and March 2020.
That said, LLM’s water and carbon footprints are likely going to be far more devastating than meat consumption, not that it’ll matter. Everyone is still going to vote Democrat and Republican and things will steadily continue to get worse.
- Comment on Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state 3 weeks ago:
The key with a VPN is to buy long term. I got a black friday deal for Proton last year that comes out to two dollars and pennies a month.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a manufactured famine, which is a war crime.
But try telling that to an Israel apologist.

Sure Jan.

IDF themselves designated for evacuation dozens of times
LOL, telling people to evacuate when there’s no real infrastructure to do so… does not absolve them for committing a genocide.
I could sail out to the middle of the ocean, put you on a rowboat, and tell you that you’re free to go “safely” and it’s still going to be my fault when your ass drowns.

why do you guys wear uniforms and operate openly and build military bases away from schools and hospitals
Two reasons: First, they actually have a military, generously funded by the US taxpayer. Second, you’re right, it’s so rude for Palestine to directly place their schools and hospitals in the path of
AmericanIsraeli bombs.See also: It’s your fault for putting your face in the way of my fist.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 weeks ago:
Totally.
Hamas should not have put their hospitals in the way of
AmericanIsraeli bombs. - Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 weeks ago:
Palestine doesn’t have an army, a navy, or an air force.
But, enjoy all the excuses you will undoubtedly see in this thread from
genocideIsraeli apologists.Hell, Palestinians can’t even go to a designated aid station for food without getting massacred by Israel.

Wrong.
- Comment on Ford CEO on his ‘epiphany’ after talking to his Gen Z factory workers: ‘They were saying [they] had to have three jobs’ | Fortune 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of the old reality show ‘Undercover Boss’, and the whole premise of the show was CEO’s realizing how tough their workers’ lives were, and the people they interacted with got prizes in the form of gifts to demonstrate the CEO’s empathy and how caring they supposedly were.
Disgusting stuff.

Oh, there are also some helpful mods now.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 4 weeks ago:
There is some difficulty, yes, but you can read the guides on Steam to get some help in mitigating that. I’ve died hundreds of times playing it, but some of them are legit funny, like the time I used a wand to summon a black hole, not considering that it might suck my wizard in too.

I find it to be great fun.
