Looks like the AI has trained on enough “this looks like your homework assignment, good luck!” comments
- Comment on Upgrading router, suggestions? 1 month ago:
Old thin clients and mini PCs are great for this. Many either have a half sized PCIe slot or can take a second network interface using the WiFi m.2 slot and a 3d printed bracket to mount the nic port.
- Comment on Upgrading router, suggestions? 1 month ago:
You’re best off splitting the routing and WiFi tasks into separate hardware. Buy yourself a used ruckus unleashed r550/650 or r510/610 depending on how much you want to spend for wifi then run routing on whatever hardware is fit for purpose. I usually slap OPNsense on something like a dell/wyse 5070 j5005 mini PC, any mini PC with a PCIe slot will allow you to build a 1/2.5/10GbE router with open software. Chinese N100 router boxes are cheap now too, or you could reuse an old mini PC of some kind.
I don’t like rolling my own router using arm boards anymore, router distro support for them is unreliable and j5005 pulls <10W anyway.
- Comment on The human hand is incredibly good at seeing what's inside your pocket 1 month ago:
Here’s another: the human ear is phenomenal at determining where in 3d space a sound is coming from. Most animals can only determine direction and can’t really place a sound vertically. Watch what your cat or dog does when they’re looking for the source of a noise, it takes them a lot longer.
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 1 month ago:
Just remember, this is the worst things have been so far. The Trump admin still has shovels in hand, it can get much, much, worse.

+1, I absolutely loathe the twitter model of discussion because it’s a huge mess of out of order replies and random spam. Individual discussion posts with tree threaded comments are way, way, way more effective at keeping discussion relevant and directed. Also +1 re: moderation, social media functions best with effective, vigorous, moderation and the twitter model just sucks there.

Someone needs to turn that site into nothing but goatse stat
- Comment on Google made it easier to turn off personalized search results 4 months ago:
Most of the time Google is still the most useful. If I care about privacy I use duck duck go via TOR.
Apparently You.com and perplexity are pretty good on some topics according to friends, and I’ve used chatgpt to summarize and explain things I wanted to learn.
- Comment on Google made it easier to turn off personalized search results 4 months ago:
This change makes Google suck a tiny bit less by empowering users to disable some of the surveillance driven adtech in search results.
Is it a meaningful improvement in how Google operates at scale? No, not really. The DOJ is advocating the complete breakup of Google, the divestiture of Android and Chrome as well as reining in Google’s AI training data scraping - turning off personalization more easily doesn’t even register on that scale.

$50 says this response is due to the antitrust suit from the DOJ

I wonder which billionaire is going to snap up bluesky once they’ve fattened their crop of highly engaged users
- Comment on San Francisco tech company Forward, once worth $1B, abruptly shuts down 5 months 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. 5 months 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) 5 months 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) 5 months 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.
- Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying) 5 months ago:
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 5 months 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.

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 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago:
Usually European companies prefer Airbus. Lufthansa is usually a safe bet.
US companies? Best of luck.

- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 6 months 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 6 months 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. 6 months 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. 6 months 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.
