• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably want to stop using Booklore...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like the criteria for making it on there is fairly lax. Nextcloud makes a list by simply having an AI assistant as an optional (user-facing) feature, while none of the actual code appears to be AI-generated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest 14x4tb NAS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the budget was planned out before RAM prices spiked. 128 gigs of used server RAM was not that expensive before that happened.

  Hasn’t Apple been soldering everything to the motherboard for ages now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My argument: When I can get a decent used EV for $5k, I’ll do it. Until then, I’ll just get a decent used ICE car for $5K.

  Negative energy can never be removed, only transferred. He obviously didn’t like you, the skeptic, so he transferred all the negative energy into you from your other co-workers. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, I’m not surprised in the least.

  During his first term, he wasn’t nearly as unhinged as he was during this term, because he was still building his cult, which he continued doing after he lost the 2020 election. With the 2024 election, virtually everything lined up in his favor. The Democratic candidate was somebody who had not even been in the primaries, the size of his cult was at an all-time high, and the political division was even further increased from 2016. Even with all that in his favor, he still didn’t show his most unhinged ideas until after the election.

  Anybody with a reasonable amount of intelligence would obviously have voted against him, but forward thinking doesn’t seem to be a common trait these days.

  What would the legality be of listening to people’s phone calls if they are connecting to your personal home network to make them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You never know. The car wash may be out of order and you might need to wash your car by hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’d be interesting to see the cost efficiency of that versus traditional wind turbines over the expected lifespan of both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3210: Eliminating the Impossible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if they realize that not everybody has the exact same proportion of leg to torso…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2026-01-14: The Day the telnet Died⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, Telnet was already mostly dead in 2015.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You can buy a @linux.com domain for email flex⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s actually several things preventing you from doing this now. DKIM, SPF, and a couple others that I can’t remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vehicle manufacturers: when I drove to school, it was 150 km and downhill both ways!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, all you have to do is buy a hot swap bay for your computer, and sometimes enable the feature on your motherboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s at least partially the American emission standards, which loosen the emissions requirements as the size of the vehicle grows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🎶 picture this we we're both butt naked banging on the bathroom door 🎶⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the diagram!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3128: Thread Meeting⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, scuba diving is completely different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to 2FA your kidneys.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A sufficient amount of violence can solve all problems. It’s not necessarily the best solution for any given problem, or even a good one, but it’s definitely a solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MD = oMega Dumbass⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s definitely false. Only a small percentage of people globally die while in water, while nearly everybody dies in a gas.

  Plus, you are ignoring the addictive properties of gasses. While withdrawal symptoms of moderately addictive water take days to get serious, the withdrawal symptoms of much more addictive gases occur within only a couple minutes.

  There’s almost always another website that has the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, portal 2 was also built when valve valued quality over profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants’ Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456’⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you were quite grasping the scope the McDonald’s operates at. That’s only a couple hundred per location, and fast food restaurants tend to have extremely high turnover, so that’s definitely not an unrealistic number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Usually the word "alternative" should be replaced with the word "bullshit". Ex: alternative facts, alternative medicine⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Has anybody ever actually unironically said “alternative facts”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Usually the word "alternative" should be replaced with the word "bullshit". Ex: alternative facts, alternative medicine⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that the name of a political party?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because drones are expensive, and it would be a waste of money to use them on poor people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if I was a key part of the nuclear program of the US, and there was another country specifically targeting the US’s nuclear program, I would assume myself to be at Target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop banning mods except the ones I disagree with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like heat would start to become a serious issue at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realize that there is probably a fair chunk of people on here who can say that unironically?
