- Comment on Pentagon Warns Microsoft: Company’s Use of China-Based Engineers Was a “Breach of Trust” 2 weeks ago:
No, and I’m sure the various OS’s that have been made by Governments have their (sometimes severe) flaws. But it is a potential solution to government reliance on corporate technologies nevertheless.

Yeah, Oracle.

Interesting old school blog site.
Anyways, I didn’t play this game but one of my favorite Video Essayists talked at length about this game with quite a bit of praise. Perhaps you might like it, perhaps not. You can find it on YouTube, here.

I have a weird take whenever stuff like this comes up but its in my humble opinion that world governments shouldn’t rely on corporate developed software or even maybe hardware.
This is definitely hindsight is always 20/20 sort of thinking but governments should have long ago realized that trusting the likes of Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. would leave them reliant on their innovations and also subject to their whims, mistakes, and more.
Basically I’m saying World governments all need their own internal OS developed and maintained internally by an official subdivision of said governments, and maybe even a separate branch developing internally utilized hardware.
Never gonna happen, and I’m sure there are issues with this solution, but its a hypothetical I think about whenever something tech related and the government comes up in the news, which is pretty much every day now.

Hey look, it’s a miracle. A sack of shit has started to speak!
Oh…wait…it’s just Andrew Tate, my mistake.
Why has nobody cleaned that thing off the surface of the Earth yet?
- Comment on Star Trek: Lower Decks Wins Two Hugo Awards, Celebrating Series Finale and 'Warp Your Own Way' Graphic Novel 4 weeks ago:
As well as it was wrapped up all things considered, I really wish they had gotten another season or three. The show was just that good. The acting, writing, art style, all top notch. This award is more than well deserved.
I’ll be looking into this graphic novel. Thanks for the post!
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 5 weeks ago:
Just use LibRedirect extension to redirect to an invidious instance. Take the URL of the video you want to watch and download the video using yt-dlp. Watch it on your desktop using mpv.
On Android, use Newpipe or Tubular Fork of Newpipe to download video. Better yet, use Seal with Sponsorblock flags to download and watch without sponsor mentions. Watch using mpv.
On iOS, use Brave browser…

I’ve been using IronFox since it came out and I don’t think it has been out for 2 years yet… are you thinking of Mull from which it was forked when DivestOS stop being maintained?
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 month ago:
Damn, Microsoft rolling out the “Fuck You” hits lately. Allowing hate speech against Transgender people on LinkedIn, and now this shit on Github, not even mentioning the absolute bullshit their Desktop is these days.
Never been a better time to be eying alternatives. Fuck you Github CEO, fuck you LinkedIn, fuck you Microsoft, and fuck you Satya Nadella! 🖕🖕🖕🖕

- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 month ago:
The easiest thing to do is make friends with plenty of people IRL through a shared hobby or interest. Those that are interested in being FWB will make themselves apparent over time. Just be honest and when appropriate, let people know you’re DTF, but not looking for anything more than sex right now.
There aren’t many people not looking for long term monogomous committed relationships. There might even be none in your area depending on your age and other factors. But that’s the best advice I can give on the matter.

Helioboard does have emojis. You may not have the key enabled in your settings. Its a toggle under the Preferences menu.
- Comment on Im an unworthy Fraud when it comes to Tech 1 month ago:
That’s because Power Users on Windows tend to avoid the terminal like the plague. You cannot do that on Linux.

Tell you what, Mark, you finally let your daughters make Facebook accounts, and I’ll put on your glasses to chat with them on Facebook and I’ll tell them all about their precious Daddy and his many deeds.

I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don’t use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.

Unlock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Perhaps the not actually AGI we create will be able to tell us how to solve the Climate Crisis we exacerbated by attempting to create AGI.
I am not calling for the deaths of all Tech Billionaires, but I wonder what I am calling for then.
- Comment on Is your sleep schedule actually messed up, or are you just aligned with a different timezone? 4 months ago:
Not much to say here. Im a Night Owl and have been from a very young age. I also wish Night Owls were more just considered a thing in this society rather than labeled lazy or deviant. But hey, if y out don’t conform to the capitalist mold, you’re apparently whatever people want to negatively label you as. Unless you’re a Night Auditor at a hotel, or a Night Security Guard, Fireman, or Soldier, then you’re a (somewhat) acceptable part of the machine.
Anyways, here’s a BBC article on why humans might have evolved to have different sleep schedules. Its an interesting read IMHO.

Yeah, had to go look at another article on this, but indeed it works by blocking the absorption of Vitamin A. That… doesn’t sound good.
- Comment on On the up side, my imposter syndrome hasn't flared up since seeing the trump admin in action. 5 months ago:
This, a literal giant pile of shit sitting in the oval office surrounded by other piles of shit sitting in the various other seats of power would still be doing a MUCH better job than the current administration. Heck, literal feces in the White House would probably be more popular with the general public. At least everyone can relate to having to poop.

Very sweet. Thank you!!
- Comment on Summit for Lemmy is now open source 5 months ago:
Really good stuff. Obviously do what you can and it’s great you’re open sourcing the project. That’s always a good thing imho. I just made the suggestion to get it up on FDroid as a lot of people who love open source and are on Android prefer to get their apps there.
If you’re able, please do so. But even if you don’t, please know you open sourcing this, it’s appreciated. Thank you.
- Comment on Summit for Lemmy is now open source 5 months ago:
Nice. Hopefully somebody puts it up on FDroid.

- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 5 months ago:
The oligarchs running these companies have suffered a psychotic break. What the cause exactly is I don’t know, but the game theyre playing is a lot less about profits now. They care about control and power over people.
I theorize it has to do with desperation over what they see as an inevitable collapse of the United States and they are hedging their bets on holding onto the reigns of power for as long as possible until they can fuck off to their respective bunkers while the rest of humanity eats itself.
Then, when things settle they can peak their heads out of their hidie holes and start their new Utopian civilization or whatever.
Whatever’s going on, profits are not the focus right now. They are grasping at ways to control the masses…and failing pretty miserably I might add…though something tells me that scarcely matters to them.

That’s a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.
