- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 week ago:
Or to stick with the vegan/meat analogy - making the perfect vegan sausage patty by making several meat patties, each one with iteratively less meat until a vegan patty is left, as well as several dead pigs.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 week ago:
I wonder if that’s why so many sequences use “4 on the floor” arranged roughly around a 12 bar pattern, or a specific piece of classical music that the studio could have gotten from public domain
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 1 week ago:
zip tiesare single use though, better to get a pack of velcro cable ties
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 1 week ago:
it’s faster typed out as well. When I worked call centres, we’d shorthand all of our notes because we had 15-30 seconds to wrap up the final notes after the call ended, not to mention no agent wants to read a novel to get up to speed.
- Comment on Fuck. My. Life. 🙃 1 week ago:
Ender 3 as well and had issues with adhesion until I did that. My first layer is practically injected into the plate it’s so smooshed down.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 week ago:
Is that before or after copilot attempts to talk them into offing themselves?
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 1 week ago:
Fat is also less dense than water, so this particular ICE probably would float.
- Comment on Asking any AI on how to build a guillotine 2 weeks ago:
Tell the AI it’s to commit suicide
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 4 weeks ago:
Could be accurate if (lol) they’re doing something that a properly empowered FTC/SEC/DOJ would be very interested in looking into.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 4 weeks ago:
I remember having to memorize some amount in like grade 10 science, I think the first 10 were required - but only the name, symbol, and in order. We didn’t have to memorize any of the other details and on tests we either had a full table to work from or the test would provide the relevant information for the elements needed.
I think the memorization part was more a brain development excercise for kids, every class had some sort of “memorize these few things” up until grade 12 or so.
- Comment on THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short 4 weeks ago:
AOL disks were great when they were sending out floppies… free disks!
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 4 weeks ago:
That still fulfils the offsite requirement of 3-2-1, so you’re still good there. If you both have a NAS, then you can be each other’s “cloud provider” as well.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 4 weeks ago:
Which is the reason for the local backup on my NAS - which is also in a RAID 5 configuration and can survive one drive failure with no loss of data, as well as the copies stored on the original devices. There would need to be a series of unfortunate events for me to lose everything.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 4 weeks ago:
Cloud storage allows normal people to better realize a proper 3-2-1 backup strategy though, since it facilitates offsite storage.
That being said, my very important stuff is backed up to more than one cloud provider, just in case.
- Comment on No it won’t 5 weeks ago:
three digital condoms
Funnily enough, three real condoms are less effective than one.
- Comment on What can you tell from this photo alone? 5 weeks ago:
That made me think of Jethro Tull - Aqualung
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 5 weeks ago:
I built a new PC early October, literally 2 weeks later RAM prices went nuts… so glad I pulled the trigger when I did
- Comment on New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it 1 month ago:
How else would you recharge after a long day?
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
You might get some use from Jira or a similar tool…
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
I have ADHD. Open tabs lose context, I forget why they’re open, so they are useless. Bookmarks are categorized and that organization keeps the context apparent. I currently have 5 tabs open, and after submitting this reply, it will be four.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 1 month ago:
TOR is easy enough to set up that if you know how to install a program on your computer and run it, you’re good to go. It’s not the ideal way to run TOR, and is still somewhat insecure, but can be done in a few clicks.
Back in the early 00’s, the amount of people learning how to download pirated music safely, arrange and burn a CD with it skyrocketed. Fast forward a few years and people with no real computer skills were learning how to rip and burn DVDs.
I wouldn’t underestimate the potential of people with motivation to circumvent an oppressive system.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…
right?

Three times the price? Where you get train tickets that cheap? cries in VIA Rail
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 month ago:
having that for years now
since abaout the late 90’s to early 00’s. KDE 1 released with virtual desktops, and from what I can tell, Klipper either released with it, or a few years later
- Comment on Zero Chull 1 month ago:
My previous router (ASUS) crapped out at about 30 clients on 2.4GHz. New one (TP-Link Archer) is doing fine with somewhere between 30 and 40 depending on whether some clients connect to 2.4/5/6GHz, and about 50 clients total once I count wired and docker containers.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 month ago:
I’m using KRdp for the first time in several years today and am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the connection. It is in virtually every regard as good as Windows’ RDP.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 month ago:
For ~97% of the computer using population it is a hot new tech.
Compared to the state of consumer-grade Linux 5 years ago to today, it’s absolutely a hot new tech.
One cannot understate the impact that the Steam Deck and Proton had on driving consumer-friendly features to Linux simply from the demand of an exploding user base.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 1 month ago:
There was an experiment a couple years ago I remember reading about concluding that of all the jobs that ““AI”” could replace, C-suites were the one category where the computer outperformed humans in a statistically-significant amount
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 1 month ago:
Banking/financial apps are the biggest sticking point that I keep hearing about. They won’t run on a non-Google Android, let alone an AOSP container in Linux.
