• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  A real civil war wouldn’t last longer than three weeks here in the US.

  This is the country that couldn’t go three weeks without a haircut or toilet paper in 2020. People would walk into their first empty grocery store, toting their big impressive AR-15 rifles, and then demand that the war be ended.

  are they being deployed state after state or something ?

  Only a handful of cities, but their funding is something like $60 billion dollars, the equivalent of two or three branches of our military combined. I don’t think ICE has the staff to go after whole states at this point, because there are many stories in the media that seem to indicate they are hiring every stupid motherfucker who puts in an application.

  There are various means of resistance happening in local communities. Here in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, our city council just banned ICE from receiving an permits or zoning for mass detention facilities here in our city.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky just verified ICE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I get why this would bug people.

  It’s a small act of legitimizing the domestic Gestapo.

  I’m not 100% sure it’s that simple at that level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so weird.

  I guess I’ve just programmed myself to hold that power button long enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people not just hold down the power button anymore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some hacker in thigh-high striped socks should take one for the team and release the Epstein Files⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem here is that, even for entry level positions in Donald’s administration, one had to affirmatively concede that conspiracy theories are real. They were asking 20-something kids wanting to paper push if they believed the 2020 election was stolen. Then they allowed DOGE to purge all of the people who believe in traditional, functional government after that. This isn’t 2016 where Donald surrounded himself with grownups.

  I don’t know that there’s anyone left willing to go out on a limb and pull a Chelsea Manning or an Edward Snowden, and that’s who you need if you ever want the unredacted files out in the world.

  Hopefully someday someone proves me wrong, but I can only assume that this is an Eyes Wide Shut situation where the names in those files are so terrifying that it’s inconceivable for anyone to ever release them in full.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Use O&O ShutUp to delete Copilot if you’re on Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When the day comes that Linux runs all of my games, I will give the dual-boot the boot. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨L.A. Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Becomes Largest Private Landowner in the U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah.

  Good old Paige Spoets Arena.

  I hate the Kroenkes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨L.A. Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Becomes Largest Private Landowner in the U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when he bought his son’s spot on Mizzou’s basketball team back when I was a student there.

  Definitely a grade-A, piece of shit, billionaire cunt and I hope California makes him pay some fucking taxes for once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can uninstall Copilot yourself with O&O ShutUp.

  Fuck yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US teachers union says it is leaving X over sexualized AI images of children⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The current American admin isn’t doing jack shit about X, despite this being obviously criminal. In fact, the US military just gave Musk a contract to license Grok, even though Grok describes itself as ‘Mecha-Hitler’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A test they’ll have to pass.

  This makes me chuckle, as they invented euphemisms like ‘hallucinations’ because their LLM models can’t do what they promise. Fabulous marketing, but clearly they didn’t do enough testing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorado right-to-repair law covering consumer electronics now in effect⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not much to say here other than… FUCK YEAH!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope his schmeckel no longer works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so sick and tired of the self-evident stupidity of free speech absolutism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It also expects that people are content to actually fix things, or sew tears in clothing, or whatever, and that often requires a little research and initiative in a world where it’s been made abundantly cheap and convenient to just replace almost everything.

  I don’t think it’s necessarily ignorance so much as a combination of laziness and incredible convenience.

  A few years ago I taught myself to fix my laptop screen via Youtube and saved myself a $400 repair, but most people would just chuck it and buy a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  simply protecting yourself from hostile third parties

  That is some seriously bootlicking, euphemistic nonsense right there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And that goes for all of these fucking leeches: The beloved pop star. The legendary athlete. The really nice lady who gave away ten billion. The soft-spoken revered investment guru who cosplays as middle class.

  Every damn one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, true, but back then game companies would sell you those single disks you needed. My copy of Baldur’s Gate 2 was missing one that I was able to replace for a few bucks.

  In hindsight, I kinda miss the awesome customer service that used to exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have fond memories of Windows XP working well.

  Do not have fond memories of the multi-dvd game installations, but I still have my library of physical games. :)

  The night shift at a 24-hour gym is the fucking best if you can swing it with your schedule and energy.
