- Comment on Trump’s Social Media Surveillance: Social Scoring by Another Name 1 day ago:
No joke I got raided by police who must have realised they fd up big time, they spent about 3 weeks questioning me where they repeatedly tried to get me to name a non existent Facebook account despite the fact the Internet was nothing at all to do with their retarded raid.
Nomatter how often I told them I don’t have a Facebook account the question they asked next is what’s your Facebook account.
- Comment on U.S. Chipmakers Fear They Are Ceding China’s A.I. Market to Huawei 2 days ago:
Not gonna lie my best smartphone by a mile was a Huawei I’ve considered giving Honor a shot a few times since.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 5 days ago:
Whatever that link is it doesn’t load for me, UK censorship I guess.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 5 days ago:
Human rights they have they do execute billionaires who try to screw the rest of the population which in my opinions puts them ahead even more
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 5 days ago:
I don’t know what they are but I know they look after their citizens more than we do, and they’ve really started taking over the entire spec space in the last few years mainly due to that.
I’m UK but if someone held a gun to me and demanded where would I live USA or China I’d honestly pick China.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 5 days ago:
I think Android went pretty horribly since Huwai stopped making contributions, They contributed more than any other company up until the ban including Google who own it.
I kinda expect in about 5 years Harmony is going to take Androids dinner.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 5 days ago:
I don’t think it’s communism anymore but the Chinese gov are actually looking after their own citizens in my opinion. I kind wish Xi was in charge of the UK honestly.
They tend to think of everything long term and all of those projects are paying off, also Healthcare free education etc they are investing more in their own population than anyone else. US is in my opinion as UK guy pretty much done they’ve picked a fight that they won’t win.
- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 1 week ago:
I think so but it would take root or some kinda of workaround I think.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s a big no from me my last handheld console was the Vita and I felt even that was overpriced for games that were actually on the cartridge.
If everything is actually digital I’m simply not buying Sony killed my account with them because I didn’t login within 6 months and I’d actually bought games there so screw digital
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I get that it’s obvious they are going to introduce an oled later. Very predictable imo and yeah if I ever buy one it’s going to be oled as well.
But yeah I’m at least waiting to see if the battery life is decent and what other titles it gets beforehand, right now I feel it has potential But at this moment in time I’d rather have a pc based handheld.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 weeks ago:
Looks like it has some promising titles but I don’t think price wise is can compete with the ryzen based handheld pcs like the steam deck etc. It doesn’t make much sense so far as I can tell but I’m still curious what titles it gets and how the battery life compares
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 4 weeks ago:
To be hkoId welcome that response in an AI I have chat gpt set to be as deranged as possible giving it examples if the Dungeon Crawler AI among others like the novels of expeditionary force like skippy.
I want an AI with attitude honestly.
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 4 weeks ago:
I think the first llm that introduces a good personality will be the winner. I don’t care if the AI seems deranged and seems to hate all humans to me that’s approachable than a boring AI that constantly insists it’s right and ends the conversation.
I want an AI that argues with me and calls me a uselles bag of meat when I disagree with it. Basically I want a personality.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 4 weeks ago:
As long as their not Plex’s files I see no Issue that they should be compensated for.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 4 weeks ago:
So they think it’s acceptable to charge people to access their own files. Good Luck with that morons.
- Comment on DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous 1 month ago:
I tried that recently on the Gemini 2.0 flash and it got it wildly wrong as well. Seems strange AI seems to struggle with it.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
Honestly if you aren’t prepared to take advantage of modern tech I pity you, I do think Chat Gpt is a total waste of resources as far as energy etc but I’m going to take advantage of it while it exists.
Honestly it’s kinda fun to play with you can ask it for cross over plots between shows, to make raps etc or ask it to show certain images in realistic HD. It’s fun to toy with though I do think it probablytshouldnt exist, that said I’m taking advantage while these companies are wasting massive resources on it.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
I don’t recall asking for your opinion.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
I replied because nobody was helping him and there’s an easy solution. Didn’t know r/books was now back in the dark ages to be fair.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not.
I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that’s why I’ve posted here as well.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
I had an old account banned site wide for asking why there was an obvious gay guy on love island. Wasn’t even a malicious post I was genuinely curious how he faked his way on there.
Recently I got a temp ban for mentioning chatgpt on the books sub, someone was asking about a large selection of books and which were worth reading. I told him to get chatgpt to sort the list out by most popular. Apparantly even mentioning an llm exists there is a ban.
Kinda get the second one as authors all think chatgpt stealing from them or something but yeah I was talking about sorting a large list
- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 2 months ago:
I don’t really get it why would people want to post to a sub that hardly anyone can see and likely you won’t get any good amount of karma.
likely I’m missing something but yeah I wouldn’t pay to see a sub I’d just look for a free one which likely already exists.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 2 months ago:
I’m actually suprised Google never went and made an reader they already have the store and software. Kobo does the job for me anyway though.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 2 months ago:
I use connect it works as well as any reddit 3rd party client does. Tried a few other but I like connect best.
- Comment on AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds 2 months ago:
I just tried it on deepseek it did it fine and gave the source for everything it mentioned as well.
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 2 months ago:
I think they can pretty much post whatever they want but I’ve never used it myself as it’s all pay walled. But yeah I think reactors are all jumping over to it as it gets harder to post anything on YouTube without someone else trying to claim the ad money.
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 2 months ago:
You have a point it’s a monopoly but most YouTube videos I watch now the creators are always suggesting viewing on patreon because of all the YouTube copyright stuff.
I’ve noticed quite a few have vanished from YouTube so maybe there’s some signs YouTube is starting to get to annoying for creators.
- Comment on This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone. 2 months ago:
Google absolutely did gimp Micro SD cards even the phones that have them still you can’t hot swap them because it gets merged with the primary storage instead.
Pretty obvious Google did this tos sell their cloud storage when before you could switch cards at will easily.
- Comment on This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone. 2 months ago:
Because these features where all there and worked perfectly before Google decided to kill them.
- Comment on This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone. 2 months ago:
Have to be honest first Android lost my support when they did their best kill Micro SD cards then they decided to make connecting mtp only which absolutely ruined using a cable to transfer anything then came the head phone jack being removes.
The final nail on the coffin was scoped storage which made things so much slower it seemed absolutely ridiculous and also stopped you from being able too N files with the app you might have wanted.
At this point I’m kind of hoping something like Tizen or even Harmony Os takes over.
