- Comment on Tesla Will Now Let You Finance Your EV Repairs… With Interest Rates as High as 36% APR 13 hours ago:
Insulting. I can get a credit card for a much lower rate and use that.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport developer hit hard by Xbox cuts 15 hours ago:
I like Forza because I can play it on PC, unlike Gran Turismo. Shame.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 18 hours ago:
Bazzite as well, which uses the Atomic backing, so it is more easily recoverable in case of an oops.

Best gif ever. Download!

Farming Simulator

Just a bit stiff
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 2 weeks ago:
I will note that AI customer service could be an improvement. Customer service helpline jobs are one of the worst jobs to get paid peanuts to do.
Of course, my preference is to upgrade the crap voice recognition system with an AI voice recognition system, which is way better at understanding words. The help desk jockeys can stay, as they do the real work.

latest release on 10/2023?
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 3 weeks ago:
ChatGPT is playing Anarchy Chess
- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 3 weeks ago:
A few people are focused on this tech, the majority of people who are in a position or job that can in fact end world hunger are held back for reasons.
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 3 weeks ago:
Would like a link to the original research paper, instead of a link of a screenshot of screenshot
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 4 weeks ago:
Technically true. Seagulls like eaay scavenging and absolutely will swarm strip malls if there’s a picnic area or restaurant.
Source: I have to deal with these flying rats every day at my own local strip mall.

Jim Crow literacy test this one.

That toi
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 1 month ago:
If it ran with local model(s), I would have no problem with this.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 month ago:
It was alright, MK64, but my only real gripe is the handling. When you start your turn in, the kart strafes opposite of the direction you are turning, which makes small adjustments difficult at best.
- Comment on AI taught to analyze Windows crash dumps, released to open source — 'like going from hunting with a stone spear to using a guided missile' 1 month ago:
This is more like what I expect to see from AI models - this kind of work, pinpointing problems by doing the number crunching. Now we just have to make sure it doesn’t hallucinate and we’re doing great.
- Comment on ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why 1 month ago:
Sounds like they need to curate their training data more. A lot more.
- Comment on Israeli TV producer calls for 'Gaza holocaust, gas chambers' 1 month ago:
Wow. They’ve come full circle, become the very villains they once fought against.
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 1 month ago:
I’m trying, but OpenOffice has all the hits on search
- Comment on With ‘AI slop’ distorting our reality, the world is sleepwalking into disaster 2 months ago:
AI auto detection is a coin toss at best - and it often hurts real artists/writers when they’re false positive’d, which is far too often.
People didn’t magically forget how to proofread or use Photoshop (or similar tools) when AI generation became popular - the good fakes are just better now. Small “tells” can be fixed in post by anyone that has previously done “photoshopping” work… the kind of people who have already been doing such things before AI generation. AI generation just makes it easier and faster if you know how to use inpainting or img to img.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
NAPS2. PDF scanning. Supports every platform. Dead simple for scanning and aggregsting multiple pages into a single pdf with ocr. Also can save as images.
- Comment on Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification 2 months ago:
facial recognition scans require a realtime video feed of you turning your head each way… a fake photo is not going to suffice

- Comment on Self-Hosting A Cluster On Old Phones 2 months ago:
Every single install I’ve tried of it feels “half finished”. There’s bugs and missing features everywhere… but that’s on just two of the interfaces. I have yet to try them all.
- Comment on Self-Hosting A Cluster On Old Phones 2 months ago:
Getting pmOS to work on an op6t has been an exercise in … patience and not using colorful language.
I have already tried Plasma Mobile and the Purism UIs… which one is really the most feature complete for devices?
- Comment on Gunkroad: The creator-economy service Gumroad decided to open-source its platform at a suspiciously convenient time. (And even “open source” might be stretching it.) 2 months ago:
Alternative to gumroad?
- Comment on Marine Le Pen banned from running for French president after embezzling EU funds 2 months ago:
Well, that’s a given, but leading with why is more genuine than making what appears to be a propaganda piece by only mentioning the political part (far-right leader), which makes it appear that she was banned for being far-right.
- Comment on Marine Le Pen banned from running for French president after embezzling EU funds 2 months ago:
This is the context that’s missing from the headlines of the other thread of this event. She’s not being banned for being far right, but being banned for embezzlement.
