- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 3 days ago:
Or having prebaked fallback ads.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 weeks ago:
Or at least they can’t reason the way we do about our physical world.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I straight up misread the question, so I would have gotten it wrong.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like the second piece ought to shove the first one faster. All good.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but you can have it scan without implementing.
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 4 weeks ago:
?? You don’t get to walk back my fears. You can walk back the source, but you don’t get to say “nevermind, you’re not worried about this”.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 5 weeks ago:
He probably used AI to generate a mission statement for the merged company.
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 1 month ago:
First time I tried to use WINE I got extremely confused by it, and ended up with a program that still didn’t function. Literally no idea if it was me or a program that fundamentally didn’t work with Wine.
- Comment on One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals 1 month ago:
Being able to get in contact easily (with the laid off) would be rough, and creating a new studio with no passive income and only promises is a hard sell. But that’s honestly not a terrible idea. Get devs to coalesce into indie studios ready to make whatever passion game they’ve had rattling around.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 1 month ago:
Don’t forget it’s actually 3Y, if you want to make sure whatever trolling actually sticks.
- Comment on Meta's latest subscription move is an attempt to offset its AI bets 1 month ago:
How long until the premium version also has ads? It’s the clear trend at this point.
- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 1 month ago:
Up 150% sounds crazy… but like, what’s the rate of installs vs uninstalls here? How has the rate of installs changed?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Did they ever support that for free?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Man that game is tempting me to try to find a switch 2. I really want to play it but that’s such s hefty price.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 2 months ago:
Or even, like, 0 to 50.
- Comment on Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily 4 months ago:
Wouldn’t that wipe my current data? Like, sure I can install Bazzite, but there’s more setup to be done once again, and if I dislike it then I’m going through the setup once more. I understand it’s not that hard all things considered, but it’s not necessarily easy to just go mucking around with it with limited free time.
- Comment on Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily 4 months ago:
I started with mint, but the more I see about Bazzite the more I wish I had started there. It just seems slightly more aligned to my needs.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 5 months ago:
Gonna have to do it forever until businesses figure out that half of what makes a game good is that it needs to be a literal passion/art project, and not just a checklist of shit that needs to get done.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 5 months ago:
I honestly feel like the “you’re trying to hard to pronounce the country/city/food name” vibe is silly anyways. If they pronounce it “Bærthélōnã” in Barcelona, then why shouldn’t I try to pronounce it that way? Especially these days in our hyper-connected world, I don’t really have an excuse of “well I never knew they said it that way”.

Or it’s brewing up excuses for declining sales.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
I’m so confused. Couldn’t you always pick what track you wanted to play?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 5 months ago:
Which ones are you running?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 5 months ago:
I mean, it’s not in the news anymore, but it’s definitely talked about. Businesses need to decide if they’re hosting on-prem or in the cloud, and if it’s cloud they’ll want to decide which provider, etc etc. It’s just become part of the system.
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 5 months ago:
I can think of a few ways to do that too
- Comment on GN's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to try to make up for the lost traction! 5 months ago:
Hell yeah! Make sure to download it for preservation reasons as well.
- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 5 months ago:
What does JetBrains do that makes it miles ahead?
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 5 months ago:
I love the idea, but until stuff simplifies significantly that’s simply not happening. I’m a moderately technical person and all the self hosting options are such a chore. Even simply looking up info about them can sometimes be harder than installing and starting the centralized option.
- Comment on Tesla FSD turns off more U.S. consumers than it attracts, survey finds 6 months ago:
it’s like every Tesla accident I hear about is FSD related.
I mean, that just kinda makes sense. Regular accidents aren’t really newsworthy. Even if they are, it tends not to be worth mentioning what manufacturer the car is.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 6 months ago:
Creating something that damages nearby electronics? Yeah, that’s probably not going to fly. It really doesn’t matter if it only damages things that actively film/photograph you. Like, it’d be illegal if I walked up and hammered every camera that photographed me too.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 6 months ago:
Thank you for being rational here. It drives me bonkers how many people try to act like Linux is “just as easy” as windows. Like, yeah, to some degree it’s getting used to the differences, but there are definitely considerations and complexities that you simply don’t have to worry about with a windows machine.
As a relatively recent convert, I can say it was easier than I was expecting, but it was not “just as easy” as installing windows. It took more time to set up all the extra bits I needed/wanted, and I’m still not fully set up the way I’d like to be.
