• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]⁩ ⁨⁨27⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, I don’t watch his content, but looking at his actual viewership numbers, he doesn’t even remotely have the impact to make or break a petition by himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely kind of surprised they only met now, one would have thought that in over 30 years they would have run into each other at some point at some conference or other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XMPP vs everything else⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Conversely, I have seen this opinion expressed a few times. I can’t judge the accuracy but there seem to be more than a few people sharing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Obsidian hasn’t been an indie for at least 7 years now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh absolutely, the moneyfurnace wikimedia foundation needs to find ways to justify its own existence after all (^:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oppose STOP CSAM: Protecting Kids Shouldn’t Mean Breaking the Tools That Keep Us Safe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your custom FOSS rom won’t prevent the very much proprietary modem of your phone from communicating with the celltower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple announces iOS 26 with Liquid Glass redesign⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I presume because due to it releasing in September, it’s lifetime will mostly lie in 2026. But honestly Idk, I am godawful at naming things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, and people seem to frequently underestimate how ridiculously expensive running a fleet of humanoid robots would be (and don’t seem to realize how comparatively low the manual labor it’d replace is paid.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is now a defense contractor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By sinking ludicrous amounts of money into the „metaverse“, which turned out to be an utter flop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minio strips away almost all features from OSS interface and suggests people use their paid "AIStor" service instead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily I wasn’t even using the UI in the first place, still, not a good sign and probably something to look into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, also especially for industrial applications, requirements and needs absolutely can change, and that means having to work around the equipment. I have seen firsthand the experience of trying to get new features into ancient applications. (Made worse by the fact that we took on support for it because the original company which had created the program had gone under).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, often learning anything more than the meme itself is that way, if only because you often find out about the rather sad route many of those early viral meme people went down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet conspiracy theory has been that Elmo was hoping Trump would mandate that everything gov related has to drive Teslas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The moment a certain company is mentioned in an article, lemmy will go rabid, it doesn’t really matter what the article is about. I am a Linux nerd and if MS crashed and burned tomorrow I wouldn’t exactly shed a tear but the knee jerk reactions are pretty weird to observe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdStrike Announces Layoffs Affecting 500 Employees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My money is on Clownflare, truly a match made in hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdStrike Announces Layoffs Affecting 500 Employees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Clownstrike doesn’t know what that is, but they will be sure to ask an LLM about it some time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh he’s been called out for that for over a decade now, it just got buried under the mass of starry eyed reporting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect they don’t even believe in this themselves, this is just a last ditch attempt at squeezing a little more cash out of dumb investors before declaring bankruptcy eventually. Seeing how one of their investors was Square Enix, that might even work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been some attempts in that regard, I don’t remember the names of the projects, but there were one or two that’d basically generate a crapton of nonsense to do just that. No idea how well that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t think of many companies I would be less willing to buy home automation tech from than Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenPin is an open-source project to revive Humane's dead Ai Pin - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I vaguely wonder what the actual overlap between the sort of people who would buy something like that and people who’d be willing to do this actually is, especially since they didn’t sell a lot in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek Transferred User Data & Prompts Overseas Without Consent, Claims South Korea’s Data Protection Authority; Activities Were Carried Out When Service Was Active In January⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, people thought they didn’t? I would be shocked if any LLM company didn’t do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Napster to become a music-marketing metaverse firm after $207M acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What? The old internet absolutely had moderation, even back in the day of BBS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Originally 4 years old at this point it looks like, and the great shift to wasm has failed to manifest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
