  I’d like to see you try to build a PC right now for less than $1,500. The cornered the market on all of the parts necessary to make a computer that can run games well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how nobody here is getting me actual picture. They’re not going to sell Xbox to people anymore. What’s going to happen is they’re going to turn to a subscriber model where you have to log into a data center that they control and use your browser to play video games. Paying a monthly subscription for the privilege of playing their exclusive games. In fact I will bet money that the first product that will be introduced with this feature is going to be the highly anticipated upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.

  Mark my words. Either at the time of release or shortly thereafter they’re going to introduce the ability to subscribe to play GTA 6 in your browser on a remote gaming system. And then they’re going to phase out physical Xbox systems over the next couple of years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hive mind would imply that people are simply following along and not making decisions on their own. I read the article and was thinking that the way they went about it was a fairly good use of AI to actually implement code.

  Then I read the article posted by someone in this comment section about how the author and creator of ladybird is not only a homophobic asshole but an out and out racist. If you support him and use this then you are, by association, a homophobe and a racist.

  So fuck you 🖕 as well.

  Because it makes for a good distraction from actual problems that they don’t care to solve because those problems would require them to heavily tax millionaires and billionaires.

  Not to mention destroying the home GPU market at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s because they have a state sanctioned version of TikTok that is controlled by an algorithm that police’s peoples speech and what they do and reports anything untoward to the proper authorities.

  And now that Fox News has bought TikTok, the US has their own version of an algorithm that will police people’s speech and what they do, and most likely report anything untoward to the proper authorities.

  It’s Ok now though cause TikTok was bought by Fox News.

  Good thing I don’t use Discord.

  Time for a return to Inter-Relay Chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Union leaders have a message for Newsom: Regulate AI if you want to be president⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don’t give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox's AI Kill Switch Lands in Firefox Nightly, Slated for Firefox 148⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My question is whether or not disabling the AI feature also disabled the feature that have had AI integrated into them. The article is unclear on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone explain why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fellow GenX here. A bottle of Jameson’s was $20 just 2 years ago. Now it’s $30. I only ever buy it on mega sale. Can’t really afford to drink it that often, so I save it for special occasions. $10 more may not sound like a lot to done but to me it’s the cost of dinner for 2 nights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LoL, if you think this is them scaling back something. Think again. This is the next evolution of their business. They’re trying to phase out people using grocery stores and in person stores in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you can do like I did and simply put an extra hard drive in, load Linux on it. Then use your old Windows hard drive as a storage drive. For the first couple of weeks it was a nice safety blanket to have.

  Oh, and if your PC doesn’t have the room inside for an extra hard drive. Make it an external.

  On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”

  Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂

  How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how the author keeps bringing up how expensive it would be to implement a system of cloud computing rental because no one would pay the amount it would require to make such a thing profitable. But we’re talking about Jeff bezos here who took billions of dollars worth of loss for over 10 years before making Amazon the profit machine that it is now. Simply by making things cheaper for a long period of time until the customer base eas so used to the model that they could picture doing it any other way and their competition went out of business. I can totally foresee them doing this exact thing with cloud computing. Make it really cheap get people hooked where they have gotten rid of all of their in person computers and then, once access to home computing is either prohibitively expensive or impossible to do because parts are no longer available or otherwise impossible for people to switch away, jack up the price and make it profitable by squeezing every dime out of the average consumer.

  This was also, by the way, Netflix’s strategy as well as Spotify and all the other cloud-based services that people are “addicted to”. Take billions and loss to get people used to your service and not consider any alternative. Then once you have a captive audience shoot that price to the Moon.

  I’ve lost track of how many subs I’ve been banned from cause I pissed off a friend of a mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump: The U.S. will 'now' start hitting Mexican land targets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More like a week…after he’s blatantly attacked a sovereign ally. The GOP congress is too busy sucking Trump’s rotting cock to actually do anything. And American people in their districts aren’t hurting enough to be bothered removing them from office.

  Since I’m one of the people who is on the fence about whether or not to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 or to get myself an ROG Ally (I have $250 of gift cards for Target which don’t sell the Steam Deck) so that I can play steam games on a handheld. I heartily disagree.

  And it’s Nintendo’s anti-consumer policies that is making me hesitate on the Switch 2.
