I don’t even care if this is fake or not, this gave me a good laugh.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 6 days ago:
No, but don’t you understand? Tesla is not a car company, it’s an AI company. They were just making cars while developing AI systems. So it’s fine if they stop selling cars. So just keep buying TSLA stock and everything will work out great!

- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 1 week ago:
That’s ok. Neither can they.
- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 1 week ago:
No, they walked that back almost immediately. The tariffs are still on everything.
- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 1 week ago:
I don’t think Chinese politicians actually laugh. They might outwardly chuckle but I doubt they find anything truly funny. My bet is their next move will be to take Thailand. They can’t directly invade but they can block exports. Trump is initiating World War 3.
- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 1 week ago:
Your point is fairly good but you need to recheck your math. At 145% a $10 product will be $24.50. At 245% it’s gonna be $34.50. And that doesn’t even take into account additional federal, state, and local taxes.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
The flip side of that is that instances large and small outside of the influence of the government can do as they please and people can use other means, like VPNs, to access them.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 1 week ago:
They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
IIRC the original US copyright law as written by the founders was 25 years or so. The extensions on that have all been in the last 70 years or so due to mega corps like Disney.
The problem with Musk and Dorsey is that they want the copyright laws to apply to them but no one else. “Rules for thee but not for me” mentality of the wealthy.

Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.

I can honestly see a use case for this. But without backing it up with some form of technical understanding, I think you’re just asking for trouble.
- Comment on Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides” 2 weeks ago:
If you are believing what those things are popping out wholesale without double-checking to see if they’re feeding you fever dreams you are an absolute fool.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single statement come out of an LLM that hasn’t had some element of daydreamy nonsense in it. Even small amounts of false information can cause a lot of damage.
- Comment on Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides” 2 weeks ago:
What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?
- Comment on Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows 2 weeks ago:
You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.
- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 2 weeks ago:
The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.
- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 weeks ago:
The console is manufactured in Vietnam
Which begs the question of why the console is going to be $100 cheaper for Japanese than anyone else even before you factor in the tariff situation.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 weeks ago:
Keep telling yourself that. It’s not like you’re dealing with a greedy corporation that has spent the last several years wiping out every alternative platform for playing their older games so that you have no other way to play their titles that they keep jacking the price up on simply because they can.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks ago:
I have a small laptop that I’m testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

I had read that Steam on WINE is pretty stable. Is it not?
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 weeks ago:
That’s the thing. It’s 2025. The Switch came out in 2017 and the Switch 2 is barely a step up from the Switch OLED. Which, BTW, isn’t even and option on the Switch 2. And 256 memory? Is that a joke? Plus their new scheme is to not have the games on the physical cartridge but to only have a key code on the cartridge that transfers to the console. And that’s not even looking and the drastically inflated price of the games. Not just new games but all the old ones are priced out at $80 to $90 a piece as well.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 weeks ago:
Cartridge games for the Switch 2 aren’t even cartridge games anymore, haven’t you heard? There’s no game on the cartridges just a passkey.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 weeks ago:
The Switch 2 looks like absolute garbage so they can keep it.
My next console purchase with be a Steam Deck.

- Comment on How to love 3 weeks ago:
This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.

I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
There really isn’t one. That’s why they feel that they can do whatever they feel like. They have no real competition for the type of service they offer.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 3 weeks ago:
You have always been able to use your own domain email with Thunderbird. The big news here is the fact that they are launching not only a web based mail service a la Thunderbird but also providing an email server for addresses of [yourchosenname]@thundermail.com. which is gonna be pretty great.

It fell into the wrong hands 3 years ago. If those people failed to recognize the danger they put themselves in by continuing to use the platform they are shit out of luck cause Musk will never take responsibility.
