- Comment on Rust is Eating JavaScript 4 days ago:
Originally 4 years old at this point it looks like, and the great shift to wasm has failed to manifest.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s pretty much the only real market I can see for this.
- Comment on Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 1 week ago:
Not wrong, but 30 years are probably good enough for most backup cases
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 1 week ago:
Also I feel like at that point you might as well go tape rather than fiddle around with 40 Blu-rays.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 2 weeks ago:
Mastodon and the fediverse are nerd shit with massive usability issues. Even I gave up on Mastodon and I would consider myself far more willing to put up with shit than the average user will ever be. The mass will - never - migrate to the fediverse and in many ways, especially looking at moderation issues, that is probably a good thing.
- Comment on Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community 1 month ago:
Yet more cryptotrash.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 2 months ago:
Tried mastodon, went through three instances, at the end hosted my own single user, ultimately decided the hassle was not worth it. I would rather use nothing than mastodon.
- Comment on 'Ouest-France' becomes first French newspaper to stop posting on X 2 months ago:
Bluesky most likely, I don’t see mastodon happening unless there is a major change in how the network addresses moderation and defederation.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
Yup, that’s when I lost the remaining hope I had for the project.
- Comment on Palo Alto Networks confirms mystery zero day now exploited 2 months ago:
Yeah fuck them.
- Comment on Russian TV companies demand 2 undecillion rubles from Google 3 months ago:
Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 3 months ago:
Yeah, was my first thought as well. As far as I can see it’s the same problem PeerTube is having and last I checked, were still trying to solve. (For context: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 )
- Comment on ‘Unknown 9: Awakening’ Arrives To 200 Steam Players, Poor Reviews 3 months ago:
Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 4 months ago:
Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 4 months ago:
Successful lobbying by Sony and Nintendo I imagine.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 4 months ago:
And then watch the peertube instance die. See also: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads 6 months ago:
Screw the mozilla foundation. My only hope at this point is that Ladybird or one of the other projects produces something viable one of these days.
- Comment on Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits 6 months ago:
Frankly that’s about the only plausible customer base I could see for that.
- Comment on Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag 7 months ago:
They seem to have 0 clue what they are “explaining “ though. I don’t know if those engineers are overworked or how (in)competent they are, I don’t even use telegram. But they apparently do have other non-engineering people on staff and content moderation and dealing with legal issues aren’t the job of an engineering team.
- Comment on Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly 7 months ago:
Idk I still hope a Servo-based browser somehow materializes itself someday, but if/when that happens, who knows.
