- Comment on Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in' 18 hours ago:
Chips that are really only competitive for a year are sitting on shelves. Good thing they reduced consumer GPU capacity to make these. The rest of us might be paying reasonable prices otherwise.
 - Comment on Governor Newsom signs bills to further strengthen California’s leadership in protecting children online 18 hours ago:
He’s definitely campaigning to the Pearl clutchers.
 - Comment on Bluesky experiments with dislikes and 'social proximity' to improve conversations 18 hours ago:
Did you read it? They’re building an algorithm to control what you see.
 - Comment on Bluesky experiments with dislikes and 'social proximity' to improve conversations 1 day ago:
It always starts that way. But the tighter reliance on their control only leads one place.
 - Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 days ago:
Yeah, but you literally cannot see where the doorbell is at my place. It’s a physical impossibility. I live on the second floor of a two flat with an enclosed entryway. No window anywhere in the building can see the doorbells.

Good luck doing that in my place.
 - Comment on Should I replace NPM? 2 days ago:
I’m a nginx user. It looks like more and more tutorials are leaning towards Traefik or Caddy with some using NPM. If you rely on those to deploy new services I would consider that.
 - Comment on how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life? 2 days ago:
I have my own server, at home.
 - Comment on Democratic contender for Congress indicted over Chicago ICE protests - Progressive Palestinian American candidate Kat Abughazaleh, 26, decries ‘gross attempt at silencing dissent’ 4 days ago:
I’ll settle for just Trump. We can put her on trial after his first day in prison starts.

Late 90s movie reference buys early 90s rotting corpse.

Only if people can find the videos.

Now THAT’S aboringdystopia.
 - Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem. 1 week ago:
This is kind of a hilarious post from a US perspective. Legitimate question from the perspective of some European countries, hilariously naive trying to apply it to the US.
 - Comment on Immich Frame crashes chromium after extended period of time? 1 week ago:
Running a chromium based browser with only 2GB of RAM is ill advised.
 - Comment on AI behavioral analysis on factory workers, every step is monitored including attention detection from facial expressions 1 week ago:
Humans are disposable, robots are expensive and require more expensive humans to maintain.
 - Comment on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous | Immich Blog 1 week ago:
The question that needs to be asked, “why are you still using Chrome?”
 - Comment on Has anyone sold or otherwise handed off their 3d printing business? 1 week ago:
3D printing is extremely more accessible than it was 5 years ago. Most people who go to these craft fairs probably know someone who has, or has access to, a 3D printer. They are available at local libraries in many places. And most importantly, even $200-300 models are very reliable and easier to use now. These businesses are a dime a dozen on Etsy. YouTube has been flooded with videos of people saying “I made X in just one year 3D printing.” Since OP knows how to design they probably should have focused on 3D design and printing services for businesses using engineering materials instead of craft fairs.
 - Comment on Has anyone sold or otherwise handed off their 3d printing business? 1 week ago:
Glass houses.
 - Comment on Has anyone sold or otherwise handed off their 3d printing business? 1 week ago:
So you’re saying you have a worthless business you want to sell?
 - Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 1 week ago:
More likely their hamfisted return to work layoff scheme has caused them to bleed experienced staff. The only people left are less experienced and give less of a shit. It took them over an hour to release the database of their DNS system was the issue.
 - Comment on Performative vegetables: veggies you pack in your kids lunch even though you know they won't eat them 1 week ago:
Who’s got money to throw away? You pack what they’ll eat for school, force them to eat better when you share meals at home. At least you can usually get a kid to eat some kind of fruit at lunch.
 - Comment on Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless 1 week ago:
This is not kaleido, this is Spectra 6 which is unusable for e-readers as it’s meant for digital signage. It takes as much as 30 seconds to refresh a spectra 6 screen.
 - Comment on Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless 1 week ago:
Be warned, this market is currently exploding with options so if you are considering one SHOP AROUND THOROUGHLY. There are only going to be a handful of different screens all made by the same two companies, so the other features and app functionality will be how these are truly differentiated.
 - Comment on Leaked Amazon Plans Say Robots Will Help It Avoid Hiring 600,000 Workers 1 week ago:
They’ve been working on it for decades. They got so excited for robots they started treating their human workers like robots.

Modern cell phones.
Both cell phones and language models have changed a lot in the last decade.
 - Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums. 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure there’s a self hosted option but no way in hell it’s as popular as it is without being a turnkey solution. Most smaller districts wouldn’t touch anything self hosted with a 10 foot pole. They don’t have the resources.

Sure does explain a lot.

Bypass paywalls clean still works great. You just have to install an older version of Firefox first to install it and then upgrade because newer versions block the install process.
