What a dumpster fire that truck is.
- Comment on How Trump Lost His Trade War - The Atlantic 3 days ago:
His mistake was to threaten to annex Canada alongside with it. That threat immediately united and galvanized all Canadians to fight him tooth and nail.

And I’m using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.
- Comment on Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’ 4 days ago:
If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you’re not allowed to criticize.
- Comment on Why Has Trump Gone Soft on China and Hard on Canada? 1 week ago:
Musk is supposedly socially awkward and must be excused whenever he does or say something offensive because he has no filter, according to his fans.
Funny that he has never, ever said anything bad about China. Weird that the filter seems to be working pretty well for that.
- Comment on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a total disaster 2 weeks ago:
They’re desperately trying to justify the absurd amounts of money they’ve been sinking into the AI bubble.
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 weeks ago:
The wiring in a house that carries about 2000W could start a fire if it gets damaged. Imagine what would happen if whatever carries the energy to power a replicator gets damaged.

I’ve tried the captcha they linked to. Holy crap. Not being able to strafe completely changed how you ‘solve’ the ‘puzzle’.
- Comment on Microsoft is really serious about giving more products Copilot name on Windows 11 1 month ago:
They keep trying to cram unwanted features down the throats of their customers just so they can justify the insane amount of resources they’ve sunk into then.
Meanwhile people just walk away.
- Comment on Trump trolls Trudeau by promising Canucks he'll lower taxes if Canada becomes '51st state' -- and backs hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as PM 1 month ago:
The cost of private health insurance alone would erase what would have been saved by lower taxes. And we’d still have to pay bankruptcy-inducing hospital bills on top of that anyway.
- Comment on Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year 3 months ago:
Considering that when people paid $100 for that OS they were told that it would be the “last Windows to be released”, shouldn’t there be a class action lawsuit?
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 3 months ago:
They removed the star system a long time ago. They removed the down votes again a few years back.
- Comment on Google is working on an AI agent that takes over your browser 3 months ago:
I’m imagining anything filling text and clicking buttons and it strikes me as an unbelievably annoying and unsafe.
Filing you tax report? Sorry now you’ve committed fraud because the AI sent false information on your behalf. Went in your banking website? Looks like the AI sent a bunch of money to some random account. Going on Amazon? How weird, the AI has ordered a bunch of useless crap on your behalf.
- Comment on Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling 3 months ago:
I want to cancel. I don’t want to be put in line for over half an hour and then have to have a painful argument with some poor employee who gets punished somehow if I finally convince them to do their job an cancel the account
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 3 months ago:
A lot do myself included. But not enough to matter. Most ordinary Windows users don’t even know what Linux is or understand why they should care.
- Comment on T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users 3 months ago:
Is there a technical term for when a company or corporation makes a statement that is a blatant bad faith argument like that?
I nominate “Corporate auto olefation crepitu”. Where they enjoy smelling their own farts

In case you didn’t know, save yourself some headaches and avoid NVidia GPUs for your new build.
- Comment on Microsoft will end Windows 10 support in exactly one year 3 months ago:
Way ahead. I tried Linux earlier this year hoping I could learn to get used to it in time before the end of support for 10 and it turned out to be a far smoother transition that I anticipated. I haven’t booted my Windows partition since.

“Take your shit and get off. We’re tired of waiting for you.”
- Comment on And you will never catch up as Bezos make 8,000,000 per hour 4 months ago:
Because them saying they’re “worth” that is just mental gymnastics about making themselves feel better about abusing the power of the position they’re in to take as much money from as many people as possible.
- Comment on And you will never catch up as Bezos make 8,000,000 per hour 4 months ago:
“BuT hE’s WoRtH tHaT mUcH bEcAuSe Of AlL tHe HaRd WoRk He’S bEeN dOiNg!”
You tell that to his delivery drivers who can’t even scratch their nose while driving or that 1984-dystopia-esque automated surveillance system he puts in their vehicles flags it as “distracted driving” and punishes them.
- Comment on jealousy 4 months ago:
Before we cut our food in perfectly sized bites with utensils our ancestors used to do it by biting into large pieces of food with their front teeth. That would wear them down evenly to form a nice flat bite.

It was exactly the reason I was thinking
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 5 months ago:

Carefully dremel a slot and use a flat head screwdriver.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 5 months ago:
Nah, I’m just a bored guy on the internet
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 5 months ago:
Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.
Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.
Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.
Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.
Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.
Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.
Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.
Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.
- Comment on NVIDIA stable driver 560.35.03 released for Linux with Wayland fixes 5 months ago:
I’m just waiting for them to move up from 550 for the production branch. And so is anyone else running an Nvidia card with OpenSUSE. Is there any way at all to tell when that will happen?
