- Comment on Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer 4 months ago:
Honestly if we could get space elevators figured out, the best place to put solar panels would be in the upper atmosphere. Tethered to the ground by massive columns that feed the energy they collect to massive capacitors on the ground?

I want everything SiegedSec found. I intend to copy it and store it for safekeeping.

There were also icemen at one point. Then we invented refrigerators. Nobody seems to miss having a giant block of ice delivered to their house to keep the food we buy at the stores cold.

- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 4 months ago:
Maybe I’m just seeing potential where there isn’t any, but I really think if the people of the Archive could find a way to get their stuff stored in TUL, or perhaps build a Library of their own, the publishers couldn’t go after them then, because to the outside observer, all they see is a buncha dudes playing Minecraft.
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 4 months ago:
There’s a Minecraft server that has books and articles stored. it’s called The Uncensored Library, (visit.uncensoredlibrary.com), and they have various articles and books that are free to view. The Uncensored Library was created by Reporters Without Borders. If I were the people of the Internet Archive, I’d be talking to the folks in the RSF about porting some of their content to this virtual library.
- Comment on Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon 6 months ago:
Can a solar sail propel an object to relativistic speeds? The whole point of space travel is to go to other planets at a speed fast enough that the people going there will not be dead or elderly by the time they reach their destination. The only way to do that is by achieving light speed or damn near it. I do not want to board a solar sail vessel bound for Proxima Centauri b (4.22ly) and be dust by the time I get there.

They think that the entire reason the Internet exists is to sell things. To make you want to buy things. And if you tell them it’s not, they laugh.

I’m still waiting for this shit to come full circle back to how it was with Cable, where someone links the various streaming services together in one convenient app and they tell you you can switch and save!
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 6 months ago:
Most of SCOTUS is not in favor of “broad immunity”, for exactly this scenario. They want to make sure that Trump is never held responsible for his actions while in office, and that every President after Trump(if he doesn’t declare himself President for life) is criminally liable for everything. Trump has even said that he’ll have Biden prosecuted if he wins.
- Comment on Tesla Lays Off Employee Who Slept In Car To Work Longer Hours 6 months ago:
Yeah. Because someone who merely “meets expectations”, you don’t know what they’re thinking. They could be plotting something and you wouldn’t know. Many employers pride themselves on thinking they know what their employees are thinking while on the clock. Meanwhile, the “quiet quitters” are the hardest to read.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
Here’s the thing about YouTube. From the very beginning, it was a video-hosting platform. Users create content. They upload the content to YouTube’s servers. Other users view the content, and upload their own. A simple formula, no? That’s why their pre-Google slogan was “Broadcast Yourself”. The thing is, storing video data long-term is expensive. This is where Google comes into play, because, unless you’ve got Google’s money, you cannot afford to store literally 100s of Yottabytes of video data, not for very long, anyway. Even if YouTube becomes a “mostly-worthless relic”, there’s nobody who can readily replace it.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
This, basically. Google took YouTube and made its algorithm push more long form content for the purpose of generating revenue from ads. Not saying TikTok doesn’t have ads in my feed but at least I can skip literally all of them.

So they started by making polls and surveys not obvious? That makes sense. If people know that a survey is a survey, especially on a site like Reddit, the users will tell each other and attempt to fuck with the results
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 6 months ago:
What research is telling them that? Where was the survey? These people are making shit up.

Khorne cares not from whence the Blood flows, only that it flows forever and without cease!
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 7 months ago:
That was the purpose. You see, Big Tobacco actually sponsors the anti-smoking campaigns, which does give them some creative input. They tell the writers to make them as annoying as possible.

Or they use the addictive qualities to make workers behave. “Work a 30-hour shift, then the pain stops.”

- Comment on AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt 9 months ago:
Exactly. Capitalism spits in the face of the concept of a social contract, especially if companies themselves didn’t write it.
- Comment on Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts 9 months ago:
Yes, but even if the base model hardware is incapable of doing something, someone savvy enough could modify it. It’s the same logic they use to ban AR-15s in some states in the US. By default, all civilian ARs are built to fire in semi-auto only, BUT, a knowledgeable individual can make it fire in full auto if they drill a hole in the lower receiver in just the right spot.

- Comment on It was in self-defence 🙃 9 months ago:
I used to have faith that bad people will eventually pay for their crimes. That the weight of their sins will crush them eventually. But these past decades have taught me that the new response to crushing weight of sin is to simply get a stronger spine.
- Comment on Average website visit in 2024 9 months ago:
This is the right answer. Most webpage servers, if they’re set up to detect adblock, only detect at the client level on the browser. They don’t check to see if their traffic is being routed through a pihole.
