- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 day ago:
Important to note here that if you are running Windows or a dual-boot, the new version of O&O ShutUp has a utility that allows you to delete CoPilot.
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 day ago:
I have a dual-boot with Linux Mint. I don’t access anything personal from my windows installation. It’s just for games that don’t work on Linux.
- Comment on Rebecca Heineman, grandmother of modern gaming, has passed away 1 day ago:
Lucky bastard.
- Comment on YSK that in 1994, Ukraine voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons. Europe and the United States promised they would defend Ukraine if it was ever threatened. 4 days ago:
In a time when a person working full-time can’t even afford groceries, we should be involved in exactly zero wars abroad.
I hate this country.

Well that was dumb.

My library also has a cool collection of board games you can check out.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 week ago:
Sometimes I enjoy just basking in the dark morass of my own thoughts.

You shouldn’t have to work to be able to live, period.

Proud that my only pwned password is three decades old.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
Oof, yeah. Having to make group decisions with money is tough.
Partly why I love being single and childless.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
May the odds be ever in your favor.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell.
1000000%
I was able to pay off my student loans by buying oil stock at a 90% discount in March 2020 and then waiting a few years for the rebound. You don’t even need to be rich to do it, just patient.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
Yeah, this economy has given me the heebie-jeebies for the last quarter now.
Unless you’re a billionaire or on a signal chat in Washington, I don’t know how you can feel good about what’s happening.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
My plan is to stay invested until dividends hit in December, and then I’m going to evaluate moving my investments into a money market or bonds. Amazon’s numbers show that consumers are still buying, and my assumption is that consumer spending will hold off the pop for now.
I 100% expect a massive crash, and when it’s just seven companies propping up an entire economy, the pop is going to be very bad. I’d rather lose a little value in the short term than have my portfolio drop to a calamitous degree and have to wait 5-10 years for it to recover.
*not a FA, just my personal plan

That is a very broad question.

Bleak.
But you’re not wrong. Motherfuckers.

The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
- Comment on Obamacare enrollee sees premium spike over 300% as sign-up period begins: 'This will devastate us' 2 weeks ago:
The ACA is just bad policy built on bad policy built on the prevailing belief here in the US that it’s a-okay to create the conditions that kill people for profit. Just slap a smiling, relatable, white face on it in public and you’ll be fine.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 weeks ago:
I’m one of them. Huzzah.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 2 weeks ago:
The best way to start is to find little bits of extra activity in your day: park at the back of the lot and walk a few extra hundred feet. Get to the store early, grab a cart you can use to make the walk easier, and do a few laps around the store. If need be, there are workouts on youtube you can do in your bed, if you’ve gotten big enough that walking is difficult.
That sort of thing.
Once you notice these activities getting easier, increase your difficulty and begin training harder.
- 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 weeks 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" 3 weeks ago:
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.

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? 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 5 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 5 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.
