  One thing I’ve learned as a socialist is that there is always a purity test by people who consider themselves purer socialists.

  Karl Marx himself could post on here and people would accuse him of being a neoliberal stooge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok floods X with sexualized images of women and children: Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images, including 23,000 of children in 11 days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The images are being generated by editing photos of real children. It’s not fictional characters. This is discussed in the article and has been widely reported as this issue has been in the news.

  With zero examples given, I also assumed this was a religious dude mad that LGBT people exist.

  You can also set a group policy to allow no updates at all except when you approve and download them manually.

  Ridiculous that you need the group policy manager for the basic setting of “don’t put shit on my PC without asking,” but here we are.

  The third line of a haiku is traditionally meant to show a turn or a surprise element, so this is a fine haiku indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valheim player keeps building Dollar Generals despite friend begging them to stop: 'I do not want to play Valheim with Greg anymore'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true, but Dollar General also tends to move in after the economy is already hollowed out. You used to have vast distribution networks of local merchants and independent businesses. Now everything flows up to the Waltons and Bezos and Dollar General licks up the scraps.

  He sold a money-losing business with massive untapped potential to be a psyop to someone with infinite money and a desire for a psyop.

  Fucking great deal for both of them. Fucked in the ass for the rest of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pay for it all over again every 365 days, because now everything is a subscription and you’re not allowed to own even a permanent license to your software, let alone the software itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would note that every single time I’ve tried to reactivate windows after a mobo or CPU upgrade, it has failed.

  I guess it’s supposed to work better if you sign into your Microsoft account ever, which I don’t, because I see literally no reason they would need me to expect to advance spyware and adware.

  The phone activation is the only thing that has worked. Good thing I’ve been dual booting a Ubuntu fork for the past six months. I guess after my next hardware upgrade I’ll be Linux only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m starting to feel like I might own an actual spaceship before Star Citizen gets to 1.0.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a $60 ship back in 2013 or whatever and have only tried it a few times since.

  I would definitely recommend waiting for when - and if - it comes out as a polished product.

  Most of the limited number of projects I backed on Kickstarter have succeeded, but Star Citizen is one of the two lessons I learned about throwing early money at big projects. Can’t believe it’s been over twelve years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just had a little magnetic clip for my air vent where I could attach my phone and put up a map.

  I’d sooner go back to doing that than use a “Gemini-based AI assistant” in my fucking car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Global Rise of Low-Quality AI Videos: new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit, yes. You can watch leftist content for years, but heaven forbid you watch one gaming-related video and it assumes you’re an alt-right racist gamergate incel.

  I haven’t read the source material so I’m not sure if we’re coming up on a massive arc that takes that long to tell. But I will absolutely watch that much Slime if they’re making it!

  Dang, I just realized I never finished S1. I remember really liking the first several episodes, too! Not sure why I fell off, but this is a good reminder to get caught up.

  I have 16 GB in my 2014 laptop that still serves as my daily driver. 8 GB twelve years later is a joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you ever tried it? It sounds like a ping nightmare, especially for multiplayer. You gotta wait first for the game server lag and then again while you wait for Nvidia to remotely render your draw call?

  I know this service exists but it has always sounded absolutely terrible to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is combined with cutting Blackwell production by 40% and exacerbating a market already dominated by scalpers and AI data centers. Everything is getting enshittified, subscription just one component of it.

  I’ve always held out for PCMR but these companies are making it near impossible - or just prohibitively expensive - to be a PC gamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 Game Awards Results Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the Divinity trailer was the huge highlight for me.

  I enjoyed E33 a lot and there were some very gracious moments, like Broche thanking Sakaguchi. I do wish the love had been spread around a bit more - Hades, Blue Prince, Silksong, The Alters were all fantastic. I also haven’t played it yet, but I hear nothing but good things about KCD2.

  Award shows are kind of a silly format in general. It was a wildly strong year for games, and picking a single winner in any category is subjective and arbitrary when there are so many great works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The second paragraph discusses an incident that occurred at San Francisco International Airport with the same circumstance. Should have indicated that’s what I found weird because it should have been prevented. The southern courts have been less protective of individual freedoms. Might be legal there under the border exemption according to their courts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on port of entry. The ninth circuit, which covers San Francisco, has upheld that non-citizen entrants can refuse to provide a phone pin, but other circuits have found differently.

  So odd that this happened in California because there’s a pretty powerful set of protections in place in the ninth circuit specifically - not that the current admin gives a shit about the law.
