- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 12 hours ago:
This is not a battle between Linux and Windows. It is a battle between the Steam Deck versus the Desktop PC platform (windows users). Stop with the claiming Linux marketshare over it.
I’m off to celebrate how widely BSD is used because technically the Playstation and Switch(es) use it. BSD derivitives are the most popular game console OS. It’s the year of BSD!

No, Windows anti-cheats will check specifically for Microsoft’s keys in use.

Good lord stop comparing LLMs to airplanes in your replies. This is why you think “AI bad” is an unserious statement.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 week ago:
Absolutely brain dead to compare the probability engine “AI” with no fundamental use beyond marketed value with a wide variety of truly useful innovations that did not involve marketing in their design.

You can also avoid using the internet entirely. I personally reference my 30 volume encyclopedia collection rather than risk seeing an ad or an internet service being anything less than perfect.
- Comment on Reality Winner documentary concealed how she got caught (yellow tracker dots) 1 month ago:
You can not buy a fucking color printer without writing somewhere around 5 paragraphs and declaring this is an extremely principled issue in your life.
Printer makers have no legal obligation to surreptitiously fingerprint every page printed.
Frankly, you are simply stupid if you believe this. As with the rest of the anti counterfieting approaches this is done pretty obscurely.
This is why I will not buy a color printer. No, it’s not paranoia (neither sensible paranoia nor crazy). It’s ethics. I have enough dignity and self-respect to refuse to feed my oppressors and buy something that is designed to deceptively work against me.
Yeah okay but most people have a life that requires printing stuff once in a while. In fact, everything that has ever come out of my printer has been easy to trace back to me based on the content alone. Wow! I’ve even looked at my own printer’s tracking dots under a microscope. Should I shit my pants and cry on lemmy about it like you?

Its okay to stop running the servers. All gamers want is to have the stuff it takes to continue to enjoy the game after the companies are done.

God, shut up. There’s the “communist” dumbass instances which is just far right levels of stupid, and then literally the entire rest of this platform is just normal centrist europe views. “Leftist” is a term Americans use to describe giving immigrants healthcare and thinking homeless people should be given homes.

Same fucking way americans correct issues with SSA, DHS, and the IRS: paperwork. Come the fuck on with this slippery slope bullshit. Ever had a job? The I-9 employment authorization paperwork… just shut up
- Comment on Probably would be better off with alien or lizard overlords 1 month ago:
Nobody is better off with any overlord, that’s why we’ve spent so much effort trying to invent satisfying and effective governance.
While this isn’t so serious and is genuinely a shower thought, this is the lazy “I am deluded that different = maybe better” thought process that actively ruins the world, so please put more effort into wanting the world to be something else or focus on something you can.

- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 2 months ago:
Your brain is weirdly unhappy with the concept of other brains doing math. Nice!
The brainpower involved in mental math is just real-time factorization and otherwise general application of the rules of arithmatic. It’s no waste, it’s just a well practiced set of pathways that take annoying math and make it friendly. It takes at most 2 seconds to know if it’s time to use a calculator.

You can just say youre not comfortable lending a charger and instead take custody of their device to charge or own a really cool long cable which shows your intent to compromise even in the presence of boundaries others aren’t prepared to understand.

The fuck kind of question even is this? Customs installing a keylogger on your device? You are not only dumb as hell, but clearly far too stupid for a nation to ever care about you for even one single moment. Congrats on the immunity.

As if, the console’s a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they’re both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.

I’ve realized how easy it is to just actually run a network rather than half ass it with tailscale. I recommend this, it’s fun.
