- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 6 days ago:
Apple TV is honestly fantastic. The only issue is, so many streaming devices don’t support 120 Hz so you can’t have 120 Hz Steam Link for example, you usually need to use the built-in OS Steam Link to stream games at 120 Hz.
I hope this is something that will change in the future.

- Comment on HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue 1 week ago:
The thing is, if they collapse the economy, and nobody can afford to buy their overpriced products, they’re going to suffer too - which is good, it shouldn’t be only us suffering.

I think that seems obvious.
They want to make their services cheaper for them to run, and they want to sell them for more money, while buying up hardware so nobody else can compete with them or not depend on them.

- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
I built a MAL clone using AI, nearly 700 commits of AI. Obviously I was responsible for the quality of the output and reviewing and testing that it all works as expected, and leading it in the right direction when going down the wrong path, but it wrote all of the code for me.
There are other MAL clones out there, but none of them do everything I wanted, so that’s why I built my own project. It started off as an inside joke with a friend, and eventually materialized as an actual production-ready project.

And if the maintainer doesn’t agree to merge your changes, what to you do then?
You have to build your own project, where you get to decide what gets added and what doesn’t.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really agree, I think that’s kind of a problem with approaching it. I’ve built some pretty large projects with AI, but the thing is, you have to approach it the same way you should be approaching larger projects to begin with - you need to break it down into smaller steps/parts.

That’s something new, that hasn’t happened before.

Why do you bother saying this? You really think 10, 15 years ago sites required you to upload photo ID? Did you even use the Internet back then?

There’s other options like wine-staging and wine-devel for newer programs, and also there’s paid options like CrossOver which can even be simpler to use than Wine.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 4 weeks ago:
My understanding of vibe coding is that it’s using AI to write code without reviewing the code, because the person doing the “vibe coding” isn’t actually a programmer and thus aren’t capable of actually reviewing code. That’s why a senior developer using an LLM wouldn’t be considered “vibe coding”, for example.

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
Sure, I should have clarified not surprised by the power or the price.
It makes sense that as more and more power becomes available, the price doesn’t necessarily have to increase.
Computers (especially CPUs/GPUs/SOCs etc) are becoming more and more powerful all the time, and more and more efficient all the time. It doesn’t mean that the price of them has to rise.
The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful doesn’t mean it should be more expensive than the most expensive version of the Steam Deck. The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful should be entirely expected.
Hopefully this is a detailed enough comment to clearly explain my thoughts on this.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
It’s newer hardware in a bigger form factor.
It should be 6x as powerful, that shouldn’t be a surprise.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
True, but it’s also nowhere near $1000.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
Sure yeah, my comment originally mentioned designers and developers, but I was too tired to remember that in my follow-up comment.
It’s hard to be extremely detailed and also remember every single detail of what I was mentioning as well.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
Oh, sorry, I wasn’t referencing the FOSS world with my comment.
My code was specifically about designers working for companies, with management forcing them to design things in a way that they would rather not.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
While this is true, designers are constatnly beholden to management (much like programmers are), so while designers would love to create a nice looking usable application, they end up having to go with the mockups that management requested which are of course a worse experience for the end-user.
It’s really sad.

- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 2 months ago:
I assumed you knew I was talking about the DXVK dev given that he’s literally an employee of Valve, as you mentioned. Either way, I’ll now be more detailed with my comment.
Of course all the contributors to Wine deserve credit too, and I do have an active Crossover license, but Valve are the ones who explicitly made a push for gaming on Linux and focused specifically on the gaming aspect. Wine covers everything, not just gaming, Proton is specifically for gaming. Not that you don’t know that, but it’s worth pointing out regardless.
I’ve been daily driving Linux since before Proton was even a thing, and the difference between gaming then versus now is not even comparable, it is infinitely better now and keeps improving. I no longer have to hope that a new game will work or that I can somehow manage to get the right set of libraries and flags to get it to run, if a new game comes out and it doesn’t have a kernel-level anti-cheat, I can expect that it will work out of the box just fine without any tweaking. I’ve even started getting into Mac gaming to get some of that tweaking and configuring thrill back that I used to get from Linux gaming.

Depending on the games you play, thanks to Valve with Proton and Steam Deck, most games are actually already playable on Linux. The only exception is newer multi-player online games with kernel-level anticheat.

I think you’d be surprised. The average person has trouble remembering to check a device is plugged in when they’re wondering why it won’t turn on. People generally don’t know what “hosting” means, let alone “self-hosting”, it’s far nerdier than you give us all credit for.

How many people in your city know what self-hosting is, though? Is it anywhere near hundreds or even tens of thousands? I’d be shocked if it was even 1000 in my city.
