• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been saying this for years, but the general mood still hasn’t shifted against Discord. People were actually amazed back when it added… forums. But now if the company is going public the enshittification is imminent.

  Yeah, the irony and lack of self awareness here is astounding.

  Is there any actual evidence that they are getting closer to AGI? It seems ridiculous to think that this LLM parrot bullshit is getting there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. I’ve curated my Mastodon feed way more than Bsky, and still, it’s incredibly boring. Great if you want to use socials less.

  It also tends to overvalue new stuff, so whoever screams the most occupies the most space in the feed.

  Bro, put those man tits under a Tshirt cause that looks like a serious burn

  I’ve only been playing games on Linux for the past year and it’s been a pretty smooth experience. Go for it!

  The screenshot shows 1password, which to my knowledge is not affiliated to Microsoft, so I think yes, they are sponsored

  Win11: less functionality, more ads

  And what’s with the weasel words like “recommended”? Just call them “sponsored” or “ads”, like they really are.

  While gendered nouns are stupid, I at least appreciate Italian because you can just learn the word and get its gender from the end part of the word. In German, however, it’s completely random and you have to learn the gender with the word.

  I did one better. I installed Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, Microsoft are always so innovative! I never thought that the Win11 taskbar could get any shittier, but somehow they managed it. It’s great to see those thousands of engineers being put to good use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Proof of work is not even scalable to the level of current bank transactions. Ethereum network didn’t have enough compute to clear the backlog created by some niche cat NFT “game” a few years ago when people still gave a shit about NFTs.

  Limited purchasing power of the poor and middle class is a political problem, not a problem solved by tech, no matter what crypto gurus and tech messiahs will tell you. The most prolific crypto miners are the ones that already have more “traditional” capital to invest. So crypto is not solving the wealth divide, it is just making it worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WSJ lead editor annoyed that they don't control the narrative anymore: "We owned the news"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I gave her the benefit of the doubt as well, but framing it as “we were the gatekeepers” and seeming annoyed that they have to be more transparent about their process is an… interesting way of presenting the argument.

  I didn’t find the full context for the video, but I don’t think she was talking about the problem of misinformation. Even if they have credible sources that 99% of experts agree on and a transparent process misinformation will still be spread (see climate change denial). So I think that’s a different problem entirely.
