If we kill them it helps.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off 3% of workforce in biggest round of cuts since 2023 - report 3 days ago:
Doesn’t Amazon layoff 3-6% every year as a minimum?
- Comment on We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then. 6 days ago:
Well, I’m not white so I may also get deported to El Salvador.
- Comment on We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then. 1 week ago:
If we survive this, I absolutely plan to shame them into non-existence.
- Comment on It would be wrong to kill Elon musk and Donald Trump, but it would absolutely make the world a better place. Killing is wrong. But the world would be better without them. 2 weeks ago:
I want Trump forced to live in a clear enclosure in a highly trafficked area so that everyone can point and laugh every fucking day, but in a way that he can hear them but they can’t hear him.
Make him suffer until he fucking dies.
- Comment on How much longer until we're just the States of America? 2 weeks ago:
Negative years ago.
- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 2 weeks ago:
I agree with you that Copilot and Gemini are the worst, but why’d you keep going, lol. Jesus dude.
- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 2 weeks ago:
Of all the LLMs I’ve used for productivity assistance, Copilot is hands down, far and above, the worst. As far as I know, it’s leveraging ChatGPT APIs (correct me if I’m wrong), and even ChatGPT is better than Copilot (not by much).
Claude has really reigned supreme for my use cases, but I know that’s anecdotal.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is Over 3 weeks ago:
Well, I deleted my account so that won’t work. But that’s crazy if that’s true (not doubting you).
- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 3 weeks ago:
Guess I’ll cancel my free trial.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is Over 3 weeks ago:
This. I have to go out of my way to even see my wife’s posts (well, before I deleted Facebook).
2/3rds of my feed are ads.
This metric is bullshit because they fucked up the waters.
- Comment on Do you understand how many people 350 million is? How did this worm ridden ball sack float to the top? 3 weeks ago:
Except his ancestor was a Democrat.

holy crap we had one of these growing up. now I kind of want one.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 3 weeks ago:
Honestly in some areas of town late at night, I would totally make use of a service like this…
…but I’d also expect the service be abused by people seeking people to harass.
- Comment on When a bee arrives on the scene 4 weeks ago:
I learned today that bees don’t have lungs.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
Based on what little I know that goes into video game development, $80 seems cheap - assuming no mtx.
But if it’s $80 + mtx? Fuck that.
- Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale 1 month ago:
Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.
- Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale 1 month ago:
The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.
One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.
Fuck Oracle.
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 1 month ago:
It’s not even viable for me. I simply cannot use Linux daily because all my jobs require software that doesn’t have a Linux version, or it does but it’s lacking necessary features, or there’s an alternative but I have to burn extra hours making it work with their systems/setup - hours I don’t have.
Or I have to use internally configured Remote Desktop profiles over a VPN (not to be confused with RDP), and you can’t do that specific use case on Linux because it requires using the company’s internal Windows Store with specific Remote Desktop installation.
Or I have to use a specific Outlook instance, locally installed, because somehow they’ve blocked web access (I still haven’t figured out exactly how they set this up).
After a 12 hour day, sure, I can switch back to my dual boot Linux instance and spend 1-2 hours for personal use. But the ratio is still Windows-leaning no matter how you slice it.
- Comment on IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts 1 month ago:
That’s fine. I’d rather pay a recovered government than the current one…if that happens.
- Comment on IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts 1 month ago:
I am one of those skipping filing to see what happens.
Delay, deny, dispose [of the IRS letters].
I’m taking that money and donating it to local charities and helping people in my community.
- Comment on "Tesla protesters are planning their “biggest day of action” yet, aiming for 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms across the world on March 29th..." 1 month ago:
I love this. I love this so much.
- Comment on Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email 1 month ago:
Must not be looking very hard because they’ve been all over my general lemmy feed every few days and span multiple states, cities, and even countries.
- Comment on Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email 1 month ago:
On the protest side, Americans are turning out in droves across the nation regularly. At capitol buildings and Tesla centers and more. Our media just doesn’t over it because they’re trying to squash the efforts.
Despite that, I’m still making plans to leave the country.
- Comment on Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email 1 month ago:
They start being hunted down.
- Comment on Battery tech really does move fast 2 months ago:
Yeah but Americans are stupid and thought a 1/3lb burger was smaller than a 1/4lb burger. I fully expect they’d think 5Ah is smaller than 1000mAh.
- Comment on Activists vandalize Trump golf resort over his comments on emptying out Gaza 2 months ago:
I support this and will gladly help fund future acts.
- Comment on Thankfully I am not forced to be in earth forever. My shift on this planet only lasts 80 years. 2 months ago:
Keep in touch. I’m not doing amazing myself right now, but there is some upward light at the end of the tunnel and I feel like helping others when I can only makes sense.
