- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 2 weeks ago:
You’re right, enjoy your $700 PS5 Pro 🤡
The truth is that literally everything costs too much. $399.99 (switch 1 launch price in 2017 USD) is $524.57 in USD today (source so $499.99 bundle with Mario Kart World is actually cheaper than Switch 1 with no game.
Blame the system that fucked your currency, and refuses to raise your pay appropriately.

- Comment on Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved 2 weeks ago:
It’s annoying that every middle manager is trying to become the hero of their company by pushing it inappropriately into every single field at the expense of productivity and jobs, while simultaneously the largest most powerful companies are slinging their SaaS solutions built on stolen data which are destroying communities of both the physical and hobby varieties and consuming more natural resources than all the fucking crypto scams of the last like 10 years
But yeah it’s neat I guess
- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 2 weeks ago:
In addition to what everyone else has said, they’re doing all this not-useful work replacing humans with unrealistic hype, but to do it they’re using up SO MUCH natural resources it’s astonishing.
They have caused chip shortages. They are extracting all the natural water from aquifers in an area for cooling and then dumping it because it’s no longer potable. Microsoft and Google are talking about building nuclear power plants dedicated JUST to the LLMs.
They are doing this all for snake oil as others have pointed out. It’s destroying the world socially, economically, and physically. And not in a “oh cars disrupted buggy whips” kind of way; in a “the atmosphere is no longer breathable” kind of way.
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 2 weeks ago:
No, and to make that work using the current structures we use for creating AI models we’d probably need all the collective computing power on earth at once.

- Comment on TrueNAS Scale, hard disks, and pools 2 weeks ago:
Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.

- Comment on TrueNAS Scale, hard disks, and pools 5 weeks ago:
If you shut down the computer gracefully first before you power the disks off of should be ok more often than not, but you really should try to have everything on the same system so this can all be coordinated by the OS and the hardware.
As others have said, avoid powering the disks off before the OS has had a chance to shut down or your disks will NOT be in a recoverable state when everything comes back online.
I’m not even sure the setup you are describing would benefit at all from a different storage method, even “regular” writes could be in memory or controller buffers. External drives are not meant to have their power cut.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 5 weeks ago:
That pattern is 100% bots getting the posts from an RSS feed and it’s set to only refresh every x hours.
When it does and it has 15 new stories, it rapidly posts 15 times.
When those clog up my all feed, instant block. So it’s really having the opposite effect that the bot owner intends.
The shitty thing is that half the time they’re not even marked as bot accounts.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 5 weeks ago:
The point is that most people won’t participate in a community that’s the same bot, posting headlines over and over, with 1 upvote and 0 comments, day in and day out. I’ve blocked so many of those (especially the ones who’s RSS feed only refreshes like once a day and they vomit like 30 stories at once into some community that shows up in my All feed blocking out everything else for miles of scrolling.)
You need users expressing their interest via posting. It’s community editorializing that makes platforms like this interesting, from Slashdot and Fark all the way to Lemmy today.
- Comment on YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick 5 weeks ago:
PFOA is one of the most prominent forever-chemicals and has polluted every single living creature on earth (including you). PFTE is another one.
PFOA causes tumors and has been found in 100% of the places (including living creatures) that is has been tested for. Every human, every animal, every river, every forest, every senior, every newborn.
The real “tinfoil hat” is how we let them get away with it. Oh? They had money and were in America? You don’t say.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 5 weeks ago:
Enshittification is not when Spotify doesn’t immediately notice and purge new uploads with scam content.
Enshittification is when Spotify takes away the free-tier, or makes the ad-free tier have limited ads while raising the price.

“Your honor, BitTorrent is an AI neural network now. Therefore these movies and games I’ve downloaded over it are recreations by an AI and therefore are no longer subject to copyright in any jurisdiction.”
- Comment on Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back 1 month ago:
Generalized LLMs like ChatGPT are. If you train a model on your own documentation then all it “knows” is what is in the docs and it can perform very well at finding relevant results. It’s just kind of a context-aware search engine at that point.
The problem again is that companies mostly aren’t doing that, they’re trying to replace humans with ChatGPT.
