And none of these magazines or whatever will ever lower their price. Major savings, but only for our shareholders!
- Comment on Two major AI coding tools wiped out user data after making cascading mistakes 1 week ago:
It had such a GLaDOS vibe, so i thought it was a reference to that. I guess life really does imitate art.

Wait, does this mean the Replit case was actually real!? I was sure it was just a sketch or rage bait. I didnt think anybody could be that stupid…
- Comment on Stop Killing Games is facing a complaint in the EU that uses nonsense logic to accuse the movement's founder of failing to disclose financial contributions he never made: 'It's not paranoia if they re 1 week ago:
Does the argument work both ways? If effort is the same as being paid for. Does that mean pirating a game is the same as buying it? After all it’s basically the same effort these days.
Of course the argument doesn’t fly, as you cant actually buy a game anymore, just a temporary license for an undisclosed amount of time.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 week ago:
I’m starting to notice that a lot of people don’t even notice what are ads or not. When i installed pihole and enabled it for all devices at home. My gf was complaining why suddenly a loy of pages wouldn’t work anymore. Yeah, so she always clicked the ad/sponsored link everywhere and didn’t have the slightest clue. And let’s not start about social media and how basically 75% of it is (hidden) ads.
Personally I’m of the mentality if some company force feeds me their ads while i was not actively searching out their product type, I’ll think 3 times before ever considering their products. Thankfully, i see basically no ads (online) anymore these days.
- Comment on Reitti (v1.1.0) Update: Family mode, faster processing, colors! 2 weeks ago:
So Google maps should be shut down too? Or you could use it to find a route to someone who has been doxxed for free! This logic is really flawed…
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 weeks ago:
Is there really a plan to use this for 911 services??
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
Maybe so, but that’s a decision they make. Surely I as customer shouldn’t be taken away what i paid for because of that? And if so they should have mentioned clearly upon sale that they would take away my product after 3-4 years (though maybe that’s the case in those dense ToS?) . Everything else should be considered illegal and fraudulent if they planned/knew it from the start. Which is the case if it’s a licensing issue
Besides, I’m pretty sure after those 4 years the code is outdated and they could renegotiate the license to be more open to release a binary.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
That’s why i also said provide, not just open source. They can release a binary.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
This is just pure fabricated bullshit. They themselves started limiting options. Remember the old days where you could host your own server with basically any game? They took that away, not us. So they themselves are 100% responsible for this ‘uprising’. Besides they could just provide/open-source the backend and disable drm. Hardly any work at all.
But of course it’s not about that. They just try to hide behind this ‘limits options’ argument. But they simply don’t want you to be able to play their old games. They want you to buy their latest CoD 42.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 month ago:
I always see people advocate fir Stremio. But my experience was always very mixed. Half the time it would just buffer all the time. I guess it’s s my own fault for having little interest in the latest Marvel/Hollywood movies, but alas. I way more prefer my jellyfin/jellyseer/arr stack. Once it’s available I’m (99%) sure it works from everywhere in the world.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 2 months ago:
Jellyfin has a sign in through the app for tv. Which I tell them to use first. And URL is also nothing new. All this stuff are 30+ year old concepts by now. But to each his own!
I’m starting to think it acts as a nice filter. If they can’t grasp an URL + login, it would save me from tech support down the line.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 2 months ago:
Well yes I know, but that kind of proofs a sign in link is not that important right? :) surely not a deal breaker as they postulated above.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 2 months ago:
Let’s not act like a user and password is some revolutionary new technical concept. They can remember it for their email provider if they can access the plex link. So why jot jellyfin? I think the UX of Jellyfin is more than acceptable in this regard. Sure I wouldn’t mind they added this feature but i don’t see it as a must have.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 2 months ago:
Fair enough, i just have very limited patience for incompetence. if they cant figure out how to remember their user and password. I don’t want to have to deal with them at all.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 2 months ago:
Sounds more of an user problem than a jellyfin problem? If they can’t remember their login I’ll just not add them to jellyfin.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 months ago:
Bazzite is basically just Steam OS but support for more hardware. And easier to extend. You could drop it on your steam deck and if you don’t muck around in the terminal you probably wouldn’t know.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 months ago:
Its normal when there is a new release. But steam OS 2 was abandoned long before version 3 came around.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 months ago:
Will it though? I love what Valve has done for the linux community. But didn’t they abandon Steam OS 2 too? Why will it be better this time? I feel like they would only give official support for handhelds/systems that are officially released with it.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 months ago:
Why wait for steam os? Bazzite and others already do everything steam os does and probably better and more.
- Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. 2 months ago:
What stone did you live under? The huge power consumption of crypto was often debated. You just don’t hear too much about it because people don’t really talk about crypto much anymore. Now it’s mostly just people pro crypto who discuss it. And obviously they tend to talk leas about the downsides.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 months ago:
Just get lutris and I expect it works just fine. Worked fine for overwatch, so i expect WoW too.
But you’re right, lunchers are usually the biggest issue when its comes to compatibility. Especially that completely useless piece of shit Rockstar peddles.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 months ago:
Proton is so good that often games run better with Proton than native too. Usually because the developer puts little effort in the linux native version. Proton is such a godsend.

So besides Trump and Musk being passionate fuck buddies, how is this legal? Surely this is fraud and deceit right?

- Comment on HP agrees million-dollar settlement over "false advertising" on PCs, keyboards 3 months ago:
These fines should really be based on the infraction profits times 100. To make sure you ripped out all benefits of doing these scams. Company goes bankrupt? Too bad. Why would we want to keep illegally operating businesses around anyway.
- Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 3 months ago:
Yeah aeems a pretty useless edit for an obvious fact. Especially as in this case you would need tires twice the circumstance of the original to make sense… Gotta be some huge tires…
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 months ago:
There’s not going to be a single worthwhile game that will run natively at 4k. And i have my doubts about 1080@120 too. Maybe they can keep their polygons so low they can actually reach it, but then what’s the point?
