- Comment on Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more 15 hours ago:
Ironic considering everything they’re “overturning” is former Supreme Court rulings that granted all these rights.

Pakistan did this thing where they banned rifles (and basically anything not a handgun) without extensive permits for all new gun sales. Then they offered to buy all the guns, which a ton of people traded in for some cash, which greatly reduced the amount of firearms owned by the public.
It would work great here except there’s a 0% chance the government would want to use money to solve a problem.
- Comment on Everything old is new again. 4 days ago:
This reminds me of uber in several third world countries. Most drivers only take cash or direct epay because it bypasses uber’s heavy service cut. Everyone benefits because the app lets you hail drivers, but they charge you a fair fee just like a taxi.

I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.
It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.

That looks like an Mi-8 helicopter

- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
This scrub is why Brawl ran in slow motion and included random tripping because the 5 melee players scared him with enjoyable competitive gameplay.
It’s probably because they didn’t want to pay Dolby licensing fees, not because it makes a 2 second difference in the loading screen.
Also don’t even see how this would affect the loading screen considering I run live AC3 encoding on an old laptop much older than the switch and it has zero effect on the boot and login time.
Basically every Wii game shipped with Dolby Digital no issue.

Yeah I know I just thought it was funny to point out the lopsided subsidized corn production because byproducts go brrrrrrrrr
- Comment on Lack of bird flu testing may be hiding true spread of virus on US farms 1 month ago:
Lol this happened in Michigan with Covid-19
There were like 10 reported cases total because hospitals would only send for a test with a solid match up of symptoms and if the patient had recently traveled from China.
Then when they opened up testing for everyone after CA and NY started going up in flames, it went from 10 to like 1000 cases reported every day.
All in a span of like two weeks.
Went from meme to pandemic so fast Whitmer closed public schools faster than the schools themselves could.
Oh and then Trump got mad and refused to send aid or allow harsher restrictions lol.

- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 month ago:
If tiktok were a serious threat, the executive branch would have already banned it by now via an executive order.
That’s not what happend, instead a whole bill went through congress and got passed with the explanation being “foreign influence” as if American social media platforms don’t already do the same thing
This is more about removing foreign competition and not about saving democracy or ensuring security.
DoD already banned it 4 years ago for military because of the actual security threat of data collection.

Don’t worry guys, they banned TikTok so we’re gonna be fine /s
- Comment on Drone maker DJI facing U.S. FCC ban — the national security risk and part China-state ownership are key issues 2 months ago:
Chinese drone company, which is also supplying most of Ukraine’s drones, is not okay
But American company using Chinese parts to make their drones and sell with “made in USA” markup is fine
MIC just mad they can’t sell their crappy 50k per unit drone because a $100 one from AliExpress is doing a better job of dropping grenades and not overheating.

- Comment on Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract 2 months ago:
Poor dude doesn’t know google already did this themselves by killing their project teams and bringing a team of summer interns every year to decrease the cloud cost of each app.
They don’t have to worry because they already own the market on all these apps so any competitor can be bought out or is doomed to fail.
That way they can spend all their allocated budget on new ventures like Gemini.
For example Google Maps has sucked total ******* **** for a whole ass decade now, and the people who made Android Auto have a special place for them in FOSS hell.
- Comment on I have a IBM eServer xSeries 346, does anyone has experience with the ServeRaid-7k, to create a RAID array? Also, you can ask me anything about this 2005 beast! 2 months ago:
I have a poweredge and know for a fact that that’s the wrong end to put the pizza on any rack server.
Only heat would be from the drive backplain, all the boiling hot CPUs, RAM, and expansion cards are further back.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Allegedly, the windows kernel scheduler was superior to Linux’s CFS scheduler in certain select metrics.
Except it didn’t matter anyway because all of the UWP apps were so crappily made and Microsoft forgot to hire actual devs for their UI so everything lagged and loaded slow.
Oh and it turns out the windows scheduler also handled multi core pretty poorly so people with new hardware suffered performance losses.
And Linux upgraded to the EEVDF scheduler which AFAIK makes it even better than before.

- Comment on Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites 2 months ago:
For all the random crap American ISPs have done, the one thing they usually don’t do is piracy monitoring unless they get paid a premium to do it.
Like Disney pays ISPs and other data companies to track torrent peers and report any IPs in the USA. But I bet you at&t would not care at all if they weren’t being paid for it lol.

Imagine manufacturing modernized muntions and warfare technology only to sell it to the friendly neighborhood genocidal maniac who goes on to use the vast technological advantage to kill unarmed civilians, journalists, aid workers, and UN related staff.
And then pretending you actually care about blatant genocide.

Jokes on you I spend my time hating on windows specifically

Stupid devs never gave us aero back despite it being the second most requested feature on the stupid insider hub. Then they magically added blur effects 5 years too late when their corporate overlords brought in the next team of intern graphic designers. I still remember the windows 10 leak pic where the whole start menu and taskbar was clear as glass >:(

- Comment on Microsoft says it hasn't been able to shake Russian state hackers 3 months ago:
Because if a vuln gets found or exploited, it gets immediately patched, often with some big backing by OEMs that run on Linux.
Open source also reduces the likelihood of exploitable bugs going unnoticed because everyone can see and play with the source code by themselves.
There is a risk of malicious merge requests, but so far that hasn’t been a problem besides a university getting banned for pointing out the issue with a live test without telling the devs.
Much of linux is also designed to be hardened by default because it’s used on so much infara. SELinux by itself is a great example because it was essentially created by RedHat and now is a major standard for MAC.
Windows on the other hand needs Microsoft alone to solve the problem. No one can patch it themselves, and there’s no guarantee the patches will work, which has happened several times. I believe print spooler basically had to be disabled because there was no good solution due to implementation.
The amount of Windows OS specific exploits vs Linux specific exploits kind of shows the results of closed source vs open source.
The worst vuln I can think of for Linux is dirty cow which is a local priv esc on basically Linux kernels 2.x-4.x which was a big deal when it was discovered because of the range of versions
Meanwhile windows had eternal blue, a whole remote code execution that existed on every version of windows since win95 that the NSA kept for probably a decade before it was leaked.
