My profile is private anyway so it doesn’t matter lol
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 6 days ago:
Seems like it has a 778G SoC too which would be pretty solid for emulation as well. That’s an interesting option!
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 6 days ago:
A battery exchange program is not quite the same thing as an actual product recall.
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 6 days ago:
Exactly. We need thousands of people calling them non stop disturbing them for hours on end, not just signing petitions.
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 6 days ago:
Maybe they should do a recall.
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 6 days ago:
People outside of USA don’t even have Amex or Discover as options.
It’s either Visa, MC, or Bitcoin.

- Comment on "Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION] 1 week ago:
What about people who don’t use this app, do they not deserve to be protected, do they deserve to suffer because they didn’t use this app?
Let’s be real, this app is about gossip, it’s not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it’s literally in the name it’s about “spilling the tea” aka gossip.

I mean it’s even in the app name that it’s not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it’s literally about “spilling the tea” aka gossip. It’s pretty gross and can be used for nonconsenual sharing of images and even slander too since there’s no way to know if what someone is writing on there about someone is true or not.
- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 1 week ago:
But, you can’t disable Recall, that’s the point…
You can just not use Windows and use Linux instead.
- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 1 week ago:
Yep, and you also have to be in a specific state of mind to be okay with “features” like something that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC.

It’s like 90% full, scrubbing my pool is always super fast.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 2 weeks ago:
What drives do you have exactly? I have 7x6TB WD Red Pro drives and I can do a scrub less than 24 hours.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 2 weeks ago:
Great, can’t wait to afford it in 60 years.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but it still built out a full-featured webapp, not just a bit of greenfielding here or there.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 3 weeks ago:
Who says I made my webapp with ChatGPT in an afternoon?
I built it iteratively using ChatGPT, much like any other application. I slowly added more and more features over time, just like I would have done had I not used any AI at all.
Like everybody knows, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 3 weeks ago:
So you’re saying there’s no such thing as complex webapps and that there’s no such thing as senior web developers, and webapps can basically be made by a monkey because they are all so simple and there’s never any competent developers that work on them and there’s no use for them at all?
Where do you think we are?
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 3 weeks ago:
They aren’t detail oriented enough to write full applications or complicated scripts.
I’m not sure I agree with that. I wrote a full Laravel webapp using nothing but ChatGPT, very rarely did I have to step in and do things myself.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 3 weeks ago:
I feel so bad for recent grads. First COVID then AI/LLMs, it’s such a bad time to be starting out. I feel so fortunate that I’m well into my career and can use AI responsibly without having to worry too much about it.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 3 weeks ago:
This is the best description of AI I’ve seen so far.

I definitely agree that this is interesting, this was a great read!
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 4 weeks ago:
I got laid off a few years ago, it also took me 5 months to land a new job. I’m better a couple years later but the first year was a bit scary.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 4 weeks ago:
I’m just worried some of them are botted, especially now that we’re less than 100k away from 1m.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 4 weeks ago:
5 minutes later and it’s 843k, almost 1k signatures per minute, not bad at all!
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 4 weeks ago:
Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN’s network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that’s no good.

How so? They work fine on me between laptop and desktop, phone and desktop, etc.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 4 weeks ago:
It really isn’t. You don’t even need to port forward, you can use AnyDesk or TeamViewer or any other option entirely for free.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 4 weeks ago:
Where are they going? There’s no way it’s Linux, right? So I guess it’s Mac?

Well yeah, they have to hoard your advertising data somehow.
