- Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned? 2 weeks ago:
The Behind the Bastards episode about him is really mind blowing. Like, he sucks way more than you could ever imagine. When I was in college, Amazon was the company that you could get used textbooks from. Now they’re the default web shopping platform.
- Comment on Atlassian terminates 150 staff with pre-recorded video, AI customer contact solutions rolled out 3 weeks ago:
Coincidentally enough, the company I work for hosts an in premises instance of all the Atlassian tools, and upon the latest upgrade we had a day long outage. Can’t help but wonder if this is related.

“AI is a disaster.” Fixed it for you.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 3 weeks ago:
No. Shit.
- Comment on Why does technology create new problems for each one it solves? 4 weeks ago:
There’s a term in hardware design called Mean Time Before Failure or MTBF. Essentially it means that the more parts a system has in it, the quicker it will fail. I think the ever increasing complexity of software tends to follow the same pattern.
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 1 month ago:
You mean 5’10” tall Ben Shapiro? The guy that never talks about his height and is actually 5’6”‽ The self confident alpha male? Yeah fuck this guy.

Don’t do this.

He just can’t seem to figure out how to smile.
- Comment on The bigger story about that Norwegian tourist 1 month ago:
Did OP ever unintentionally attempt to visit a foreign country? Like get on the wrong plane by accident?

It’s a guilty pleasure that I love The Matter of Disguise.

This.
- Comment on Day 331 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 months ago:
I won’t spoil it either, but I ended up doing ng 5+ before I wanted to start over and just enjoy it from scratch.
- Comment on Day 331 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 months ago:
I’m on my third playthrough, and there’s just so much to do and see. I loved the main plot on my first playthrough because I was focused on it, but now I’m exploring so many other things.
Not to mention I got it on launch, and there have been so many QoL changes since then.
- Comment on Day 331 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 months ago:
I legitimately love starfield. I thought the main story was amazing, but I’m a huge sci Fi nut.
- Comment on Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? 2 months ago:
Fuck this guy. When I was growing up a group of skin heads infiltrated our local punk scene, even though they liked the same bands as the rest of us, we fucking ran them out of every show. Felix deserves zero praise for his recent moves.
Stop giving him your attention.
- Comment on Prototype of RTX 5090 Appears With Four 16-Pin Power Connectors, Capable of Delivering 2,400W 2 months ago:
I’m not trying to be a 1-upper, but you need to also include the power the computer and CPU use as well. Not to mention the age of the outlet and how many times a plug has been inserted/removed from it. The contact resistance can be pretty bad depending on how old the outlet is.
- Comment on Prototype of RTX 5090 Appears With Four 16-Pin Power Connectors, Capable of Delivering 2,400W 2 months ago:
Good luck plugging that into an outlet without tripping a fuse under load.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 2 months ago:
My wife has a 2016 Honda Odyssey, and having grown up working on cars because my dad was a mechanic, I was shocked to learn that there is no transmission fluid dip stick. It’s considered a closed system and never needs to have the fluid changed, allegedly.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 2 months ago:
PEBKAC.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 months ago:
Capitalism.
- Comment on Just finished Hogwarts Legacy, it was enjoyable but could've been better. 2 months ago:
Let’s not forget that a literal Nazi worked on the game in addition to JK being a giant piece of shit.
- Comment on Nearly half of streaming subscriptions are for plans with ads 2 months ago:
Exactly this. We had a once in a generation chance to change how people watch TV and movies, and we fucked it up once again. We’re right back to paying for something with ads. Cable TV was better than broadcast back in the day because you could hear swears and see nudity, but suffer through ads for it.

I’m sure it does, I was just being facetious.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 2 months ago:
So they can use Linux in the name, just not at the beginning? We’re so stupid. Can they do Windows Subsystem for Coke? Or Windows Subsystem for McDonald’s? Or Windows Subsystem for MacOs?
Good gravy.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 2 months ago:
I still will never understand why it’s not called Linux Subsystem for Windows.
