- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 19 hours ago:
Yes, something like that would work. The stock OS would still be on the TV but as long as you don’t connect the TV to WiFi it should be fine.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 19 hours ago:
Congrats! That sounds like actually meaningful work.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 19 hours ago:
That’s awesome news, congrats!
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 1 day ago:
Wow, 2 interviews in 11 months is rough. Last year it took me 5 months, I’d say around 20-30 interviews, and 6 years of experience as a dev.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 2 weeks ago:
I think they call it “female-presenting”, so if it looks like female to them, then they ban it.
Instagram is stupid anyway.
- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure they laid off a lot of their QA team before and didn’t replace them since then.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
YouTube/Google and hiding data from the end-user, name a better duo.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 2 weeks ago:
UX is very difficult, unfortunately, especially for open-source projects where the contributors are usually programmers and not so much UX/product managers.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 weeks ago:
I think I’ve probably only ever been blacklisted once in my entire career, and it’s because I looked up the reviews of a company and they had some very concerning stuff so I just ghosted them completely and never answered their calls.
In my defense, they took a while to reply to my application lol
Agreed though, eventually they will forget, it just needs enough time, and maybe you’d not even want to work there.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 weeks ago:
Blacklists are heavily overrated and exaggerated, I’d say there’s no chance you’re on a blacklist. Hell, if you interview with them 3 years later, it’s entirely possible they have no clue who you are and end up hiring you - I’ve had literally that exact scenario happen.
The only way you’d end up on a blacklist is if you accidentally step on the owners dog or something like that.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 weeks ago:
I mean, interviews have always been hell for me (often with multiple rounds of leetcode) so there’s nothing new there for me lol
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 weeks ago:
That’s about right. I’ve been using LLMs to automate a lot of cruft work from my dev job daily, it’s like having a knowledgeable intern who sometimes impresses you with their knowledge but need a lot of guidance.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t other than for testing, in fact I had to research and figure out ways to bypass ad blockers, to prevent social icons from being blocked etc. I even wrote that company a brand new admin website to replace their old one, they liked it so much that they laid me off a few weeks later even though they were already underpaying me because they wanted someone cheaper to maintain it. I found a 30% higher paying job a few months later and been there since. lol
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 weeks ago:
Well yeah, that’s why some people stick in toxic jobs unfortunately.
- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 3 weeks ago:
Nah there were definitely games that had disappointing graphics relative to what I was expecting lol
Although it’s true, we generally were more forgiving about graphics back then than we are these days.
- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
They just did, they are gonna work more with advertisers.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Looks like I was mistaken, then. Looks like .ml isn’t the largest, it’s just the one run by the two Lemmy maintainers, which for me (combined with .one keeping going down) made it my home instance.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
That one isn’t the largest, no. The largest is .ml and it’s run by the two Lemmy maintainers.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Not all of us are tankies fwiw, I just wanted to be on the largest and most well-supported instance with generally the least amount of downtime.
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 1 month ago:
That’s true!!! Ugly people are talented.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
That’s both disturbing and completely expected. I’ve generally always preferred monitors over TVs tbh, this is just another reason for it lol
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies.
I mean it was already not open-source, right?
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model

Honestly, I do kind of agree with what you said tbh, you’re not wrong lol
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
You are now resorting to personal attacks (which is against the rules) yet you are blaming Linux users for… using Linux? Suggesting it as a free alternative that people can try out at any time?
I don’t get it.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
Did you ever think that you hate Linux because that’s what you have decided you are going to do, and not because you should and not because people are making you?
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
As it should be. Rockstar Games deserves nothing less.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
I won’t be buying other Rockstar games if they do this with other Rockstar games, since it means I won’t be able to play them.

What an incredible sentence.
