- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
That’s their end goal: no choice whatsoever, you watch 30 minutes of ads, followed by the 30 second video the algorithm wants you to watch (which is also an ad), 30 more minutes of ads, and so on.
And, since they also own chrome, you can’t go to any other page without first spending at least six hours watching youtube.

If anyone deserves the Steam forums’ shit it’s these cunts.
No amount of hostility will ever reach the levels they’ve earned with their malware shit.

- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
The Doctor is only on “TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE” as long as you aren’t messing with (or have ever attempted to mess with) humans or other people they care about… otherwise they’re on “RUN, RUN VERY FAR”.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
No Doctor Nick…?

That’s why I specified naturally dried up. The mites will have moved to greener pastures, I mean lichens.

That’s tragic, LG monitors used to be great.

But it’s trivial to torrent their content at whatever resolution I want…
- Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 4 weeks ago:
Look, we’re talking people who call ninety-nine “four twenty ten nine”; you can’t expect them to name things properly.

don’t eat anything that casts a shadow
Anyone who doesn’t exclusively survive on naturally dried up lichen ain’t no real vegan in my book!
- Comment on It's the spherical chicken of legend! Somebody get the frictionless vacuum! 4 weeks ago:
Air resistance would make flight harder, though, not easier, wouldn’t it…?
As I understand it wings work by Bernoulli’s principle, which is an air pressure / conservation of energy thing, so it should still work in a frictionless atmosphere…
Then again, we’re talking chickens here (and spherical ones at that), which aren’t particularly renowned for their aerodynamics and wing efficiency, so maybe they would need to be able to push on the air to generate lift…
- Comment on It's the spherical chicken of legend! Somebody get the frictionless vacuum! 4 weeks ago:
The road being frictionless is irrelevant unless it’s also in a vacuum.
Chickens are not very good fliers, sure, but even this spherical chicken could probably manage a short flight to whichever side of the road it pleased.
- Comment on Publishers face 20% game revenue reduction if Denuvo DRM is cracked quickly, according to new study 4 weeks ago:
In my case they’re facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it’s cracked.
I’m never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn’t compatible.)

And I’m saying that I could have been that developer if I were twenty years younger.
They’re not bad developers, they just haven’t yet been hurt enough to develop protective mechanisms against scams like these.
They are not the problem. The scammers selling the LLM’s as something they’re not are.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
I was lucky enough to not have access to LLMs when I was learning to code.
Plus, over the years I’ve developed a good thick protective shell (or callus) of cynicism, spite, and absolute seething hatred towards anything involving computers, which younger developers yet lack.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
No. LLMs are very good at scamming people into believing they’re giving correct answers. It’s practically the only thing they’re any good at.
Don’t blame the victims, blame the scammers selling LLMs as anything other than fancy but useless toys.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
Having to deal with pull requests defecated by “developers” who blindly copy code from chatgpt is a particularly annoying and depressing waste of time.
At least back when they blindly copied code from stack overflow they had to read through the answers and comments and try to figure out which one fit their use case better and why, and maybe learn something… now they just assume the LLM is right (despite the fact that they asked the wrong question and even if they had asked the right one it’d’ve given the wrong answer) and call it a day; no brain activity or learning whatsoever.
