• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernie Sanders & Trump Against Credit Card Interest (Usury)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can downvote this for having “Trump” in the title but we should take our victories where we can. If Bernie can get Trump to support this cap then that’s a win for all of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yeah absolutely protest your bosses unethical behavior but don’t be surprised if they then kick you out. But that’s good, more media coverage for your stated goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video Game History Foundation is “not done fighting” after US Copyright Office refuses exemption to aid preservation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, we’re going to preserve these games anyway. Copyright means absolutely nothing in the digital age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A decline in arable land⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also overly intensive farming, especially cattle farming, is destroying the little bit of nature we have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Biden could station combat troops in Israel for first time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  May as well drop all facade now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horrors We've Unleashed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah agreed, all life is sacred except the ones we don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D printed 'suicide pod' used by a human for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The register is a tech magazine, so the DIY/3D printed angle is relevant here. It’s also relevant because it would, at least to some degree, someone to build it themselves in places where perhaps the legality of self determination is questionable. The Register is not a place where you’ll normally find unnecessary clickbait headlines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s not a problem with AI. It’s just a problem for some mayfly companies that try to profit from the latest trend?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shutup still works but I wouldn’t trust it to prevent all telemetry. I wouldn’t trust Microsoft not to have other telemetry that’s not part of their services that can be turned off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unlikely. It won’t run optimally but it shouldn’t be the cause of crashes or bugs. If you’re not sure you can run a ram test (memtest.org)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Ranma ½" (Remake) New Key Visual, PV⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did a surprisingly good job with Urusei Yatsura, will be fun to see this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp ...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I keep hearing folks mention this but it’s not like AI developers aren’t aware of this (apart from a bunch of shitty startups that would fail no matter what) One way to deal with it for example is Microsoft is shelling out so much for “pre-AI” datasets (Reddit) but I’m sure there’s a lot more of those kinds of initiatives.

  Google on the other hand is going to be hard pressed to deal with the ever increasing deluge of AI spam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even an issue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dangerous? Signal Blasts Google Effort to Use AI to Scan for Scam Phone Calls⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Blasting is all fine and good but they should’ve slammed them really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US warns of Russian hackers targeting operational technology in water systems across North America and Europe⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So just air gap those systems. No need to have every critical system online 24/7 right,?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Cameron says UK will not withhold arms sales to Israel⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man was I disappointed to see David freaking Cameron’s face back in the news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because we all decided that shit and free is better than good and paid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just finished MGS2 and wanted to share a peak moment (Mild Spoilers)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I need a replay of the whole series. Thanks for the reminder <3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vermont just passed a 100% renewable electricity mandate⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bernie is and will forever be the goat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, except maybe we should switch to show not tell. I understand that it’s not as easy as that but over the last let’s say 30 years, how much has the left really improved life for the rural population? And by comparison how much do we preach to them that they’re backwards and their world view is invalid?

  It’s exactly as you say, the working class should be an easy win for us on policy, but it hasn’t turned out that way.

  You can just say “well they’re stupid that’s what you get” or you can ask yourself why aren’t we getting these people on board while some greasy billionaire can?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta AI is obsessed with turbans when generating images of Indian men⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you ask a bot to generate a stereotypical image and then be surprised it generates a stereotypical image. If you give it a simplistic prompt it will come up with a simplistic response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to the racism and idiocy but to the underlying issues that fuel that anger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was under the impression that bloodletting could in some cases actually be beneficial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2,500-year-old skeletons with legs chopped off may be elites who received 'cruel' punishment in ancient China⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But she suggested an alternative reason for the missing portions of the skeletons’ legs. “Amputation due to trauma is a simpler explanation,” she said.

  It’s likely that the amputation was performed to manage an infected fracture or an injury

  Well…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fossil fuels⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I could see there might be clever optimizations, ways to handle wind power or even some kind of tidal/wave harnessing. But it definitely won’t be the way Columbus did it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fossil fuels⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah just build a wooden frigate that can handle 100 megatons of containers, simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taylor Swift fans given ‘urgent warning’ as £1m lost in ticket scams⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re willing to part with thousands just to see some billionaire prance around in a sparkly outfit… well… I guess you do you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a steal!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unbox it live on YouTube!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was very pleasantly surprised. The characters were likeable, the setting very well done and it mostly struck a good balance between the silliness of the FO universe and still staying more or less believable. Loved Matt Berry’s cameo especially.

  The ending was a bit predictable and melodramatic which felt like it went against the grain of the rest of the show, but overall really well done. Looking forward to season 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You had no say in being born, but you have the ultimate say in how you're going to live.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends what you want. Do you want your income to be stable and predictable and not too low? Then that’s your best bet. More interesting usually comes with less stability or possibly less income to start.
