- Comment on San Francisco tech company Forward, once worth $1B, abruptly shuts down 1 day ago:
Anyone want to place bets on how much of their “AI” medical advice was just medical students and low cost doctors overseas answering questions?
- Comment on Something I do to help integrate new mastodonians. 1 day ago:
It would be nice if instances automatically maintained a new and low connection count user feed so that people could browse it occasionally and help people find others to connect with.
- Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying) 1 day ago:
The compile times are abusive on older hardware for sure
- Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying) 2 days ago:
It’s not that hard, just read the install guides and instructions. My first Arch install was like 8y ago and I expected it to be difficult - it wasn’t.

Friends don’t let friends use Manjaro
- Comment on This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X 3 days ago:
You didn’t do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone’s feed? I dropped twatter that same day.
Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.
- Comment on Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams 2 weeks ago:
If only they had a safe place to put their money that was protected by law and insured against losses.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 3 weeks ago:
You might like Vivaldi, they’re the most innovative chromium derived browser that I’ve used
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 3 weeks ago:
That matches with our experience from the US to the EU. Long haul is about 50/50 IIRC, you have to hunt a little bit to be sure the flights you book are Airbus
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 3 weeks ago:
You have to check each flight for long haul. My SO did a round trip from the US west coast to Germany recently for work and something like 2/3 of the Lufthansa flights were Airbus, the rest were Boeing
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 3 weeks ago:
Pearson is trying really fucking hard to write that out of the public consciousness. I took an econ 101 class about 12y ago for funsies and the section of the course on copyright insisted that “the rights of publishers” were absolute with no exemptions.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 3 weeks ago:
Usually European companies prefer Airbus. Lufthansa is usually a safe bet.
US companies? Best of luck.

Until someone forgets the terminator on one end of the network and the token falls out
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 1 month ago:
It’s possible to go after both. M$ has some fucked up practices that trick the user into using edge that shouldn’t be okay
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
Get ready for corporate announcing the layoff of 67% of the workforce
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
The real benefit of super high refresh rates is the decrease in latency for input. At lower rates the lag between input and the next frame is extremely apparent, above about ~144hz it’s much less noticable.
The other side effect of running at high fps is that when heavy processing occurs and there are frame time lags they’re much less noticable because the minimum fps is still very high. I usually tell people not to pay attention to the maximum fps rather look at the average and min.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
+1, I only have a yt music sub because it’s grandfathered in with my yt premium subscription and extra drive storage. YT music recommendations are mildly terrible compared to Spotify, but I’m not throwing $15/mo at Spotify when I only use it a few times a year.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
That’s a good start, now keep going
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I mean, I could see it. Imagine you’ve been smoking meth and obsessively doing your own crackpot UFO research for about 80h then you take a shower.

With Google’s new “don’t be paying for anything someone else will do for free” MO I’m doubtful
- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
The only controller I’ve ever really enjoyed using is the steam controller. Just about everything else felt worse than playing using a mouse and keyboard. To each their own though, if you like controllers then more power to you.
- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 1 month ago:
I’m surprised they’re not pursuing govt grants and trust/foundation funding like a terrier. There has to be money out there for digital preservation work.
- Comment on Entreprise SSDs are something else – Krafting's Lab 1 month ago:
Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.
That’s exactly the point of power loss protection (aka PLP.) As a side effect of not needing to wait for a flush after a write synchronous write workloads are dramatically faster on enterprise drives with PLP.
