- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 2 days ago:
I won? Of course I did, I don’t use Windows anymore, I’ve been using Linux for years now.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 3 days ago:
That’s a surprisingly large increase, wow.
- Comment on The world is trying to log off U.S. tech 3 days ago:
My question is how does someone even know the number of accounts they have lmao
- Comment on The world is trying to log off U.S. tech 3 days ago:
I’d always get paranoid that they’d revert the changing your details like reddit did when they undeleted mass-deleted comments before.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 5 days ago:
For me, the opposite was true. Ever since I injured my knees last year, putting a 75 inch TV in my bedroom has improved my quality of life.
I know people will probably say “oh just fix your knees” and think that sentiment is helping, but I tend to not take my medical advice from technology communities and instead listen to doctors. It makes me sound rude, but it’s true that medical advice should be given by medical professionals for the best outcome possible.

People will still use it all the same though lol
- Comment on Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads 2 weeks ago:
I also went from Nova Launcher to Lawnchair and it’s been great.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 2 weeks ago:
That’s exactly what they’re aiming for.
- Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think that’s the entire point of having a new version lol
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 3 weeks ago:
Well it was Black Friday when I went, it was absolutely packed with people.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 3 weeks ago:
I agree with most what you’re saying, I disagree with the last part of what you’re saying.
The self-host movement is about taking control away from companies, and running web services locally instead of having to rely on companies for them and pay for them. Most things you can run locally without needing a server, but there are absolutely good use cases for server-based services. Some great examples of this are cloud storage, code repositories, and chat servers. You could run each of those things locally, but they are each improved by running them on a dedicated server designed for 24/7 uptime and centralized access.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 3 weeks ago:
It’s not just media that doesn’t feed recommendation algorithms - I actually like recommendation algorithms (Jellyseerr does a pretty great job with this), it’s more about having control over my media and it not being taken away randomly. So many times an older show I would want to watch would no longer be “available” so I’d have to download it anyway, with no option of paying to watch for it.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 3 weeks ago:
Well yeah, it’s expensive and they didn’t put it on sale. This was obvious.
When I picked mine up (I knew I’d get one eventually and didn’t want to risk the prices going up like they did for other consoles), I saw 5 people walking out of BestBuy with a PS5 for every Switch 2 that sold, and the numbers seem to support that the PS5 outsold the Switch 2 over the holiday period.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 3 weeks ago:
Because billionaires like to stick together because they think that they’re better than all of us combined.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 4 weeks ago:
Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 4 weeks ago:
The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 month 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 Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 month ago:
Actually, I have bad news for you… prices are likely going to go up from the AI bubble plus the upcoming RAM shortage.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 month ago:
Meanwhile I bought an Xbox Series S and PS5 and a Switch 2 plus a bunch of SSDs all in November lol
- 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 month 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.
- 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 month ago:
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. 1 month 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.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
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. 1 month 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.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 months ago:
Okay, but we’re talking non-commercial and commercial websites alike both requiring photo ID.
That’s something new, that hasn’t happened before.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 months ago:
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?
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 2 months ago:
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 2 months 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.
