Gravity is a very dense liquid. Generator makes it in big batches at a time and it just stays there for long even after the generator is gone. After the battle is done and everything is repaired, they just top up the pool and all is good.

- Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions 2 weeks ago:
If you can wrote a full-ass Wikipedia article you don’t need slopogen to smoother it into a paste of an average. You already wrote a full-ass Wikipedia article, good, done. Nerds from all over the world will fix your wording if it’s appropriate, that’s why it’s collaborative, that’s what made it good.
We all know it’s not how people use slopogen. People use it instead of thinking, instead of working, instead of writing. And if not banned completely, that’s what people will be doing with it, all the time, because people like to not spend any effort. - Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions 2 weeks ago:
The problem is, it doesn’t improve text, it worsens it. And if your grasp of the language isn’t good enough, you can edit a page in your own language, or ask nerds in the discussion section to help you, it will be better written, they will be happy, and you might learn something.
Asking a slop generator to generate some slop about what you wanted to write will make things worse. - Comment on hot girls hate fascism❤️🔥 2 weeks ago:
Conservatives want boobs under control. They want them out, yes, but only under their permission and not attached to a person with thoughts and personality.

It couldn’t be. Lying bias machine that gives people psychosis can’t magically stop being what it is. So it will always be terrible and unnecessary at best, harmful at regular.

I mean, depending on the word integrated. Everything is integrated in a sense. But it’s harder to be more integrated than being literally the same app.

Google seems to start cracking down on free android, I don’t really believe they want to just stop the ability to install apps on your regular android and be done with it. Once they get the taste for blood, they can’t stop

Another server that belongs to the same company as your browser, so they have an access to both ends of the direct line. If you don’t trust Mozilla to be thrustworthy vpn server (which is good, shouldn’t trust anyone), bad news, they already have an access to your whole traffic because they own your browser

When I was young, I made different compartments in my money pocket for different denominations of coins so I can always have them sorted and it’s easy to grab whatever amount I need. It was the most normal behaviour for me and I was proud of having more efficient system than everyone else.
Anyway, I’m diagnosed with Autism now. - Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think anything other than degoogled Android is mature enough to recommend. And it looks like degoogled androids might extinct soon.

- Comment on The US in one image 3 weeks ago:
No amount of smug filler will transform into an argument.
Vast, overwhelming majority of non-voters were people who decided that preventing Trump from becoming the owner of their country isn’t worth an hour or two of their time. You can be salty about this all you want, you can insult whomever you want about it, it’s not going to be less true. - Comment on Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data 3 weeks ago:
They added dangerous bullshit that nobody wanted with no good ability to turn it off, and then, year or so later, added a switch to turn it off.
Most of the Firefox users don’t want for llm to read web pages for them and group their tabs based on whatever bullshit rules it hallucinated this day. People go to Google and Microslop for this treatment. - Comment on Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data 3 weeks ago:
It absolutely, positively is on by default. Moreover, it’s actually quite hard to completely turn off. Even their new fancy switches are sus, but for the longest time you needed to go to about:config and switch like ten different weirdly named parameters to turn everything off.

People’s conception of what VPN actually does is skewed by shady ads. Now they hear VPN and assume it’s suppose to be this unbreakable anonymizer that somehow also secures you from some unspecified dangers.

This is also a choice. And in 2024 it was absolutely obvious that it’s a choice for Trump.
Majority, supermajority even, either wanted Trump to be an absolute leader, or was OK with it. - Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
Introducing the new wonderful tech! Your shoes have nails sticking out on the inside now! But don’t worry, if you don’t walk, they aren’t actually painful. Well, a little bit painful, but you’re not walking all the time so we’ve decided it’s OK.

I mean, yeah, he could also not use git and just write some random bullshit directly on prod while blindfolded and blackout drunk.
However if you want a good product and good code you need to follow best practices, and those include meaningful and small PRs that you can easily review, check, debug, and revert if necessary. - Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 4 weeks ago:
Most skilled engineers, and even mildly skilled engineers don’t use slopgenerators to write code. Some of them use it sometimes to do some menial tasks, although I’m not convinced it actually saves them time. It sure doesn’t every time we measure it.
There is however a plague of low skilled people who convinced themselves that they’ve found a shortcut to being an engineer. Those people are producing bad things at a fast pace, and the only reason we’re not in an unsolvable crisis yet is that their slop isn’t hitting prod very often on account of being bad. - Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 4 weeks ago:
This doesn’t make me uneasy. It makes me resentful, a little angry, and a lot tired. Thanks for bringing it to attention, I will make sure that nothing of that project or from that author will ever cross my ecosystem again.

- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 4 weeks ago:
That is only there if you geek out about it. For a casual gamer, all of that doesn’t exist. You’re buying as nice “gaming PC” as your budget permits, you’re pressing “auto” in the settings, and you enjoy whatever picture and/or whatever framerate you paid for. For some years, most of the games run smoothly, then most of the new ones don’t look and feel great anymore, so you either buy a new computer, or play older games. It’s basically the same with the generations of consoles, it’s just if the game isn’t for your “generation”, on console you don’t get to downgrate the picture quality and try anyway.

Nvidia is doing a lot of that. It’s slightly better than nothing. It also quite expensive unless you’re Nvidia.

- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 5 weeks ago:
If you don’t have enough technical skill level and experience to install a game via steam, gog, or (bleh) epic games, you don’t have enough technical expertise to do the same on any console, including ones that require you to just put a cartridge in. Pressing “install” button and waiting for a while to then press “play” button might be less complicated than figuring out which side disk goes. And that’s exactly what is required to play a computer game.
It is not like-for-like experience, because a general purpose computer allows you to do a bit more than playing a game, but in terms of actually doing it, let’s not pretend it’s some kind of rocket surgery.
