- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 2 days ago:
I feel like I’ve got whiplash over the general public’s perception of Snoop over the last decade or so
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 weeks ago:
Third one in a little over two years. They say it’s to keep up with inflation as if they’re a retail store operating on razor thin margins and people accept that.
- Comment on AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents 3 weeks ago:
I just drove through Wyoming and it’s a prime spot for wind turbines. Too bad it’s also prime for coal mining…

- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 4 weeks ago:
Meh, I actually know how to code without the help of AI and my knowledge in computer science is minimal. It’s like the difference between being a construction worker and having an engineering degree.

- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 month ago:
I’ve got a special trick where I can make pretty much the entire internet rage at me. Check it out:
I’m vegetarian.

This is the way
- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 1 month ago:
I stopped using Spotify long ago because of their shitty business practices. Producing a product they killed support for within just a couple years without reimbursing customers and producing huge amounts of e-waste. Jacking their subscription prices twice in one year. Apparently, they also donated to Trump despite not being an American company?? That’s to say nothing of their shitty recommendation algorithm, which just plays your most played tracks over and over. Good riddance.
For those interested, I use Tidal now. I’m satisfied with, their recommendation algo is fine and the higher quality streaming is really nice but nothing I’ve used has ever been as good as Google Play Music, I found so much good music though that service and could upload whatever I was missing. Once Tidal inevitably pisses me off, I’m going to move on to self hosting.

- Comment on Here's for 2 years since I joined Lemmy 2 months ago:
Same here! Though I took a 6-month break in between quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy. I remember hoping it would amount to a feeling of liberation but in reality I just felt out of touch with world events and started scrolling through my Google feed instead, which sucked…
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 3 months ago:
Beyond supporting local businesses, Starbucks’ coffee is just objectively poor quality in comparison to that of any local roster.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 3 months ago:
I never knew just tuck was something somebody could actually do and now I’m scared…
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 3 months ago:
I’m going to be migrating to Linux and using Mint. I’m just paranoid about doing something wrong and accidentally walking into a security vulnerability. So I want to set aside time to properly learn things and understand what I’m doing but I’m just busy AF these days…
- Comment on What is this for? (Wrong answers only) 3 months ago:
So the snakes that come up from the sewer can escape when the lid is closed.
- Comment on Encryption Is Not a Crime 4 months ago:
Encryption should be no more a crime than locking your house or storing your valuables in a safe.

- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 4 months ago:
As much as I resent religion, I do believe it’s fundamentally a human problem. People everywhere have a tendency to corrupt beliefs in order to justify being assholes to one another.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 months ago:
Jumping to Linux for sure. The hardest part is going to be finding time to learn it first…
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 5 months ago:
Or how about you just stop buying from that cancerous blight on our society altogether?
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 months ago:
They need the talking heads on Fox News to tell them how to answer that question first.

Okay but isn’t it the whole purpose of the rice, to be flooded with curry?
- Comment on Sun God 5 months ago:
on Mercury and the entire sky is blazing sun
I’ve never thought about this and holy shit
- Comment on Common Ground 5 months ago:
Yeah, no thanks. These people were fine with all the hateful and cruel shit the Republicans pedal until it affected them. Whether it’s because they themselves are cruel or just morons, that’s up for debate. But either way, I will not consider them an ally in this. They’ve got to change their shitty ways first.

Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 5 months ago:
Because the stock market isn’t a measure of how well a country is operating. On the contrary, deregulation allows companies to boost profit via harmful means. Rich people got it good under Trump/Republicans and therefore the stock market thrives.

- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 6 months ago:
I’m a senior software dev that uses AI to help me with my job daily. There are endless tools in the software world all with their own instructions on how to use them. Often they have issues and the solutions aren’t included in those instructions. It used to be that I had to go hunt down any references to the problem I was having though online forums in the hopes that somebody else figured out how to solve the issue but now I can ask AI and it generally gives me the answer I’m looking for.
If I had AI when I was still learning core engineering concepts I think shortcutting the learning process could be detrimental but now I just need to know how to get X done specifically with Y this one time and probably never again.
