- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 5 days ago:
If I had to guess, it’s probably because most gamers aren’t programmers.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 5 days ago:
He removed the authorship specifically because he was attacked for using AI.
People were already going after him for using AI.
I have no problem with him using AI personally, because I trust that he is a competent enough dev if he has built and maintained this program thus far. If you don’t trust him specifically because he’s using AI now, and you don’t trust him to review the code the AI produces, then that’s your choice.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 5 days ago:
I’m excusing the technology because it’s specifically not useless, I have found uses for it. I’m not going to demonize the technology when the companies that are abusing it are nearly the entire problem. It’s about the scope of resources required and the job loss produced by this tech.
Do you really think running LLMs locally on your GPU is causing irreversible societal harm?
I know, it’s not popular to say AI isn’t the problem, but honestly, the companies abusing it are the problem.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 6 days ago:
It’s similar, but it’s not the same thing.
Anyone can have an AI “write code”, but ultimately, you’re still responsible for the output of the AI and ensuring that the end result is good. If you are a competent developer, you know things like testing, storage, security and safety (especially when dealing with sensitive data like user data), backups, monitoring, etc along with understanding each line of code. AI will never be perfect because humans aren’t perfect either, AI requires code review just like humans require code review. If you aren’t a programmer, you won’t be able to review the code AI writes, and mistakes will be missed because humans make mistakes too. I don’t see that ever changing because no software is perfect, there will always be bugs no matter what (once the software is complex/sophisticated enough).

Honestly, unfortunately, I agree. It IS unfortunately helpful, and if you’re a competent developer using AI tooling, you can make sure it doesn’t generate slop.
- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 6 days ago:
Why do we gravitate toward those brands even when cheaper and more generic options exist that are perfectly on par?
To be fair, there are plenty of people who specifically avoid those brands because they are more expensive and they know they can save money with cheaper alternatives, or because they can’t afford the name brand.
With that said, there are some times where the name brand does actually provide a superior product.

If marketing majors could read, they’d be very upset.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 1 week ago:
Yeah, my manager replaced the team with his friends that he hired. It was just a case of nepotism, nothing I did wrong.
At least I have a 30% higher paying job now than I did back then, and this one actually has bonuses that they pay out too.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 1 week ago:
You know, a few months before I was laid off at my previous job, they did announce record-breaking year-over-year profits.
Then again, I’ve been at my current company for a few years now, and they have been announcing record-breaking year-over-year profits over the past 3 years and it’s been fine, so I guess it depends lol

- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 2 weeks ago:
This is true, but they’re also not wrong that fully-modular USB-C ports is an absolutely huge win. It’s one of the biggest things when it comes to laptops these days.

It was always about the money.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
I hate that Xbox is a joke now and that it’s going to die out. I hate that there is going to be less competition in the console space. I hate that Microsoft have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
I love my AI future.
Fuck.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI 3 weeks ago:
One of the best written comments I’ve seen about this. LLMs are cool for what they can do, but anyone comparing them to AGI is just shilling and trying to make a fortune off of selling pickaxes in a gold rush.

I won? Of course I did, I don’t use Windows anymore, I’ve been using Linux for years now.

That’s a surprisingly large increase, wow.

- Comment on The world is trying to log off U.S. tech 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 months 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.
