Name a CEO tech bro that isn’t a raving douche.
- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 1 month ago:
Look. You are incapable of doing work anywhere but the office. Your collaborations severely lack. Somehow tho, when the executive class spends 10 hours in email it’s innovation. When you do it, you’re unproductive.

“I’m actually really excited about how nerdy we got on the security architecture,” says David Weston, vice president of enterprise and OS security at Microsoft

Please do. Stream it too so we all can enjoy.
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 2 months ago:
Found this on the YT app on Roku awhile back and it makes watching without browser-style ad blockers acceptable
- Comment on San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave 2 months ago:
As of 2020, all of his companies had received around 5 billion in subsidies, tax credits, and the like.
- Comment on Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech 2 months ago:
That is the more likely scenario sadly, and the cops will say “don’t blame us those kids got killed, we just listened to the AI” and some judge will say “yea, that’s ok . the officer did what he was told like he is supposed to, unlike that bus of kindergarteners who didn’t lie down and put their hands behind their heads when commanded”
But after they install cameras everywhere and after a bunch of misses despite surveillence on everyone they actually get someone the amount of self back patting and chest puffing will be off the charts.

Did someone call me?
- Comment on Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech 2 months ago:
Texas law enforcement doesn’t need a language model to blame false positives on. They can false positively shoot whomever they want with no reprocussion.
- Comment on Banning TikTok Won’t Keep Your Data Safe | Pompous billionaires, authoritarian regimes, and opaque oligarchs are hoarding our data. Only an alternative online ecosystem will stop them. 2 months ago:
I know another thng that will stop them and it rhymes with guillotine.

It’ll anger Redditors but they’ll gladly hand over their money
- Comment on command line util to encode/decode framed packets? 3 months ago:
No, but to learn bring computing to 2024 and to pad my github I’m currently working on a modern replacement written in React that can also use Electron on the desktop. It’s pretty light at around 150mb. I don’t have plans to natively port it to Linux, but it’ll work in Windows Linux and MacOS with a little tweaking.
I do have plans to release the Docker image I’ve used for testing later this year along with a Snap and Flatpak so I guess it will natively work on Ubuntu.
Oh, and longterm goals are to have an Android and iPhone port. I have an ad provider set up so I can offer the mobile apps for free (gotta hustle) but I’ll have a patreon and kofi set up by then for donations and a mostly ad-free version that aggregates usage info of your device and apps but doesn’t give away any personally-identifiable details if you opt-out.
I do almost nightly coding streams on Twitch and Youtube but I blur out the code itself because I don’t want anyone borrowing my idea and implementation.
You can find me on Insta, TikTok, Facebook and I’ll have links to my X (formally known as Twitter), Telegram, Discord, Riot, and Mastodon accts. I also have curated some playlists on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and Amazon Music that include some chillwave tracks as well as some binaural beats, white noise, pink noise, and brown noise (to name a few).
I also have an affiliate link for a microdose provider that gives me a cut everytime you make a purchase which helps me out.
- Comment on Google Says AI Olympics Ad 'Tested Well' Before Inspiring Outrage 3 months ago:
The whole point is to make everyone stupid, uneducated and reliant on big tech.
Why learn to drive when Apple and Google will drive you around?
Why learn to write if you can have Microsoft, Google, and Apple write for you?
Why learn to read if Microsoft, Google, and Apple will read for you and tell you what things say?
Why learn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or play an instrument if Google, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft can make art for you based on a suggestion?
Why think for yourself when Facebook, Google, and Apple can tell you what you’re thinking or what to think?
Don’t be alone with your thoughts. Your thoughts are subversive and dangerous. Just relax and don’t make a scene. Go with the flow. Do what you’re told. It’s presumptuous to believe you know better than a finely collated corporate collection of knowledge taken from millenia of those smarter than you, don’t you think?
Relax, everything will be ok. Your AI therapist is here and knows exactly what’s wrong. You worry too much. Everything is under control and is the way it should be.
Smile more, you’re so pretty/handsome when you smile.
- Comment on Chrome’s Manifest V3, and its changes for ad blocking, are coming real soon 3 months ago:
Google: “We mean it this time, guys.”
- Comment on Trump's answer today reminded me of his infamous "Nuclear" quote. 3 months ago:
If you happen to see your post response here later on as a reply to a non-related post, but the idea is the same, it was me. This is one of the greatest replies I have seen on Lemmy and probably Reddit back in the day. It tells so much in so little and I identify with it.
I never knew how to express how intellectually insecure I feel listening to Trump speak and reading text of what he says. No I know what to do. Thank you, friend!

You mean X, the platform that already has been called for being largely bots? Whoa.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
IIRC, the religion didn’t get anywhere is Palestine after Jesus supposedly died and it wasn’t until decades later that it picked up in and around Greece thanks to Paul, but no one was around that saw any of the events attributed to Jesus - it was all heresay.
I mean the bible is how many pages and how much of it actually takes place during Jesus’s life? And what is the timespan of the small part that does? Like a year? And the 4 gospels that talk about it are all rehashings of the same stories (more or less) and even contradict each other at times.
That’s a story with a lot of gaps and plot holes to base a belief system around - and that doesn’t even include all the baggage and hate that comes along with it.
People nowadays lose their mind and make death threats to the creators of stories that don’t fix or create new plot holes in canon. And we’re supposed to smile, nod, and happily accept one of the worst constructed stories ever just because some old white men that live the opposite way they tell us to live say so?
- Comment on Trump pledges to scrap offshore wind projects on ‘day one’ of presidency 5 months ago:
Fossil fuel companies don’t like renewables for 2 main reasons:
- They haven’t successfully lobbied for enough anti-competitive fees to be placed on them yet that makes it too cost-prohibitive to support
- They haven’t successfully attained a monopoly over production by purchasing the leaders in the industry so that they still receive all the profits

Except you can spoof an IP address or get another one from the ISP just by asking. You can spoof a MAC address too.
