As if a foldable mobile was some kind of industry super secret anyway. Apple is a joke.
- Comment on AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory 1 day ago:
Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.

You got me curious about that New Hotness, NGL. Thank you for your kind comment.

Waste of energy.

I’ve tried. I really don’t want to have another “gadget” in my carbon footprint, but can’t avoid it. I’ve read in my tablet, it’s just too heavy. So, it’s gonna be a PC, a laptop, a tablet, a cellphone, and an eBook reader -_-
The only good side is I use them way more, I think, than your average person. The PC is almost ten years old, the laptop is like six yo, my cellphone is getting to 4 years of use, but the tablet is only a couple of years old and it was supposed to serve as a reader. Also, if I use my tablet just to read, it’s a waste of energy; eink devices are typically very efficient.

Who said that?

First of all, the term “reaction paper” is quite vague to me. I understand it’s a thing now to “react” to things, but the verb, to react, implies very little critical thinking. I think this is one of those concepts brought by the content creator trend to enhance the amount of engagement and earnings by producing derivative and lazy content.
Being said that, yes. If you attend a scientific class, you can’t argument based on your personal beliefs only. Religious, biblical truths don’t have any special weight here. It’s quite shocking that this can happen at a university level, and that’s why I’m absolutely opposed to non-secular education in general. Religion and education must always be separated.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 5 days ago:
Wasn’t Mozilla Corp. supposed to be an ethical enterprise? How’s this ethical at all in any respect? How companies like these got convinced that so-called AIs are something users overwhelmingly want to use? Why, by default, users would want to fuck the atmosphere and several markets, so they can have shitty tweaked images and probably bad answers to the most simple questions?

It’s ridiculous. Fuck the Mickey Mouse Protection Act.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
Well, that’s you. I’m not having, as I said before, any issues with Gecko, I do have many with Google and monopolies.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
People keeps saying that, but I don’t think there are noticeable differences in performance between both engines. Gecko is competitive, the problem, I think, comes from the web developers not bothering to optimize or test under Gecko anymore.

Wow, that carbon footprint. You must be proud.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
It’s not needed. Nobody is looking for AI powered shit and they will feel it in their numbers. Why invest the pennies Mozilla can invest in a technology that big monsters are developing with billions and billions of dollars and natural resources? It’s not even reasonable, like a Pocket 2.0.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Better to “send keystrokes” to Google.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
There are Firefox forks to circumvent AI. But even if there weren’t, I’d be using GNOME Web before bending to Google’s Chromium. If Vivaldi Chromium promises no AI, and LibreWolf Firefox promised the same, why on Earth would I go to Google’s camp?
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
Those are blatantly not people, they aren’t even human.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
Specially, nobody needs more Chromium based browsers.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
Gaaaaaaaahhhhh, phase make it stop!

I’m ditching it for listenbrainz since those social capabilities are useless for me. My use case is actually for logging and storing info, not publishing it.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 week ago:
Of course not, but being a pragmatic can help. If people with money can sustain a legal battle against Apple, all power to them. For the rest of us, it is achievable to distribute the eggs in several baskets, or even take the eggs home (selfhost).
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s better to take Apple to the grand jury. That will fly for sure.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 week ago:
Huh, the ransomware-ish features all locked out “ecosystems” put you through are fruitful. Don’t worry, as long as it works for the 99% of their clients, business as usual. Luckily, this guy recovers access to his account and if he is smart enough, he won’t trust them ever again. It’s sad this news won’t make a dent in the army of zombie consumers of Apple.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
My checklist of features is always complete with a ~200 USD offer:
- GPS with at least compatibility with three constellations/bands, included navstar
- needs to have FM radio or something similar that doesn’t depend on an internet connection
- 3.5 jack
- SD card slot or 256 GB or more local storage
- huge battery life, so I can keep it at 80% maximum to save battery cycles for the long run
- oled screen, of +60Hz, better
- decent camera or set of cameras
- unlockable bootloader
- good odds to make it to official status in Lineage OS

I use the “very articulated parrot” analogy.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 3 weeks ago:
Just wanted to point out there insane disparity between these cost of running Wikipedia and that of ChatGPT. The question here is not if LLMs are useful for sine things, rather than if it’s worth it for most things.

Approximately.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 months ago:
Okay, buddy. I think my comment is more about privacy than ads, bit it covers both.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 months ago:
I do not have anything from these MFs that’s not jailbroken or hacked. They are partners, not competitors. But sure, as long as you get less ads for now, go with the other, I guess.
