- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 1 hour ago:
Are they going to ban VMs?
They will keep banning things until they feel they have absolute control over the internet.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 4 days ago:
Hmmm ditch lightning fast and stable fiber for the mediocre speed and unstable micro satellite internet connection controlled by a petty asshole…
What to do, what to do?
- Comment on [Video] Cops not sure whether to arrest man with "Plasticine Action" shirt for supporting terrorism 5 days ago:
George Floyd’s execution was filmed in public. As were several other murders by police. In America, the cops don’t care. They will choke or shoot someone and no judge will ever let them be prosecuted for it.
- Comment on [Video] Cops not sure whether to arrest man with "Plasticine Action" shirt for supporting terrorism 6 days ago:
Yeah before anybody spoke I was fairly clued in that this was not America by the fact that the cops were just standing there acting chill instead of holding him on the ground and screaming at him to stop resisting arrest.
- Comment on To Catch a Predator's Chris Hansen Planning Roblox Documentary, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
A bigger problem is the predatory behavior of the company that owns Roblox. You can teach kids how to wall themselves off from the pedos on that site but you can’t really protect them from the company that runs it. Short of keeping them off it all together… Which is what I do.

I just looked that one up. I think I may need to learn some geology…

Mushroom caps have gills underneath in order to release their spores (this is literally the sole purpose of mushrooms). The caps you see in this picture have no gills.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 1 week ago:
Or simply waiting a bit before drinking the soda to let the CO2 settle and stop being a whiny little baby about minor inconveniences.

Since I’m a union worker, sounds good.

- Comment on Reddit will block the Internet Archive 1 week ago:
There are plenty of sites out there not owned by major conglomerates that have norobots and noscrape tags that AI companies can use Wayback as a way to circumvent their policies.
This isn’t about reddit, it’s about AI companies stealing everything on the internet and then selling it back to you while taking your job away.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 week ago:
the fisher price look of XP.
Thank you for my belly laugh of the day. 😂
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 week ago:
Kinda glad that wasn’t the case because those of us who’ve been using Windows 10 all this time would just end up with what Windows 11 is but masquerading as Win 10.
I’m more comfortable with being pushed back into the Linux pool and relearning how to swim those waters.
- Comment on Reddit will block the Internet Archive 1 week ago:
Not that reddit isn’t hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there’s a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.
AI companies are scraping the way back machine. This is something that should concern all of us.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 1 week ago:
If your broccoli smells like a fart and that means you have overcooked it in water.
Try roasting that shit, he will find that broccoli smells and tastes fucking fantastic.
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 1 week ago:
It is not venture capitalism. Though it is fueled by venture capitalism. I am describing the type of car and you are calling it gasoline. They’re most distinctly not the same thing.
However it should be noted there both a part of the same corrosion of our society. Just how automobiles that run on gasoline are a corrosion on our atmosphere.
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 1 week ago:
Yes, this is part of the business model. The goal is to get everyone addicted to their service, then jack the price up to profitable margins. It’s the same model Netflix and Amazon used. Bothe services lost money for over 10 years before becoming profitable.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 2 weeks ago:
That’s the point though. These CEOs don’t know that there is not going to be an “AI revolution”. They all think they are getting in on the ground floor of the next Google or Facebook. They genuinely believe that these “AI’s” are going to revolutionize the Internet.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 2 weeks ago:
Because unlike with the other tools you use the CEO of your company is investing millions of dollars into AI and they want a big return on their investment.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 2 weeks ago:
This exactly. Pirating is still preventing the artists from getting paid for their work. Choose to buy albums from companies like Bandcamp over just simply stealing their work.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 2 weeks ago:
Tor was a U.S. government supported service and guess who pulled the plug on it.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 2 weeks ago:
Under capitalism they always were. Just take a close look at exactly who the “Founding Fathers” were.
- Comment on Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button 2 weeks ago:
It has been my experience that thing go the other way around. Usually people read the text (or programming script), see that it’s nonsense and ask, “Is this fucking AI? Cause I really hope no one is actually this stupid.”
And then they get annoyed that someone is cooking the planet using AI instead of their brain.
- Comment on hygiene 3 weeks ago:
The part not seen here is that the guy hadn’t showered for over a week “because CSGO2 just came out”.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 weeks ago:
It’s been pretty widely reported that it’s PayPal and Stripe(mostly Stripe) that have been the ones that were requiring them to remove the NSFW material.
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 3 weeks ago:
At what point do we start tagging him with “racist sympathizer Peter Thiel”?
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 3 weeks ago:
Black people aren’t supposed to have inherited wealth, therefore all rich black people are nouveau riche (new rich). In a spectacular display of racist logic this chud is saying that spending with abandon is something only a newly rich black person would do.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 3 weeks ago:
If this is true, all gamers who care about this issue of censorship should collectively boycott those payment processors. PayPal should be especially easy to disconnect from since they already suck.
- Comment on Peter Thiel Just Accidentally Made a Chilling Admission. Five Decades Ago, One Man Saw It Coming. 3 weeks ago:
We need to start calling this sort of thinking what it actually is, techno nihilism. These people like Thiel and Musk aren’t trying to build a better world for humanity, they are building escape pods for themselves to exit our world and they don’t care how much of this world they trash to get there.
