- Comment on WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran 5 days ago:
And 2 pariah states with legacies they will never outlive.
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 6 days ago:
Is no one considering that Russia has a uniquely qualified perspective when it comes to failure? Game recognize game…
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
I, too, sense a rising anti-intellectualism in today’s world in general. Just the other day some guy came by my place asking to “read the gas meter”. Whatever happened to the classics?!
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
This. I’m fine with auto complete, snippets and llm suggestions. But I still need to read and review and, critically, comphrend the code. I always review it’s work, and most often make changes that I know are better practices.
- Comment on 80s and 90s anime starter pack 1 week ago:
AND?! what’s wrong with starting out with these perfectly viable/plausible plot and visual design concepts? If anything that medium was prescient. People be asploding Neo Tokyo on the regular now in their tiktoks for the memeslingery.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 5 months ago:
The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 5 months ago:
All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 5 months ago:
A quick scan reveals I’ve never committed a vehicular homicide, and do not engage in activities that are statistically likely to improve the odds that I will commit a vehicular homicide. I’m fine with with jailing someone who’d risk everyone around them with death and dismemberment for their entertainment.
There is no such thing as an “instinct to drive dangerously”, it’s called “a choice”.
Annnnnd fuck that choice.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 5 months ago:
Bad AND selfish. In generous quantities.
- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 5 months ago:
“Yes, an electronic brain,” said Frankie, “a simple one would suffice.”
“A simple one!” wailed Arthur.
“Yeah,” said Zaphod with a sudden evil grin, “you’d just have to program it to say What? and I don’t understand and Where’s the tea? Who’d know the difference?”
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 5 months ago:
…and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 5 months ago:
Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have it I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 5 months ago:
Imagine how much more successful any given business might be by simply… ignoring Twitter.

Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then
Lol wut. Not even remotely.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 5 months ago:
For sure. It was great. I’ve played every entry in the series and those 2 are the memorable ones.
Invisible war was awful but the hellfire boltcaster was immensely fun to use on the Templars lol.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 5 months ago:
I generally abstract to docker anything I don’t want to bother with and just have it work.
If I’m working on something that requires lots of back and forth syncing between host and container, I’ll run that on bare metal and have it talk to things in docker.
Ie: working on an app or a website or something in language of choice on framework of choice, but postgres and redis are living in docker. Just the app I’m messing with and it’s direct dependencies run outside.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 6 months ago:
I’m from the 90s Internet. Geocities. Tripod. Webrings. My awesome gothy co-worker staying late after work to update her vampire fan-fiction site because hardly anyone had a computer and the boss let her use the company’s windows 95 machine.
We are categorically lazier as a culture now than then. I expect things to enshittify further until we collectively take responsibility and accountability for our own culture, engagement and entertainment online. As we used to. We need more stupid web tricks, this place used to have all sorts of public art and weird monuments to human quirkiness.
Until they take away from us the ability to purchase a 10$ domain, use DNS, and make HTML forbidden knowledge, anyone can be out there contributing. I realize, however, that most will not; I’ve recently started getting wide eyed stares of amazement because I have my own domain and use it for my email address, so we seem to be sliding further…
Not sure how we fix this.

Bye bye internet. Hello splinternet.
- Comment on Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters Demand Google Fire Security Experts or Face Data Leak 6 months ago:
Lol any hacker tossing “bro” around in conversation immediately gets a downgrade from black (or white) hat to “propeller beanie”.
Scratch that; anyone trying to sound serious about anything does.
- Comment on WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed 6 months ago:
Those 5G Conspiracy Theorists probably feel vindicated after reading this lol
I rather think they will be let down, given we’re on wifi 7, not 5G, and also no injected nanites were involved.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 6 months ago:
Step one: put this on your tinder profile:

Yeah but as a husband, we have waste heat to manage, plus just normal waste.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 7 months ago:
I see we’re putting the crypto in cryptofascist.
Or maybe it’s the other way around.
Something something Venn diagram is a circle something.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 7 months ago:
Is that because of the free surgery he’s going to give everyone who wears his obnoxious AI glasses and then subsequently gets punched in the face? Is that why we’re going to be at a disadvantage, Mark?
- Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem 7 months ago:
Lol wot. You think we wouldn’t get all caste system in this piece son?
- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 7 months ago:
Yeah, like, why learn how to split the atom if all we can do is splode stuff. It’s not like we can cure cancer or power things without emitting planet killing gasses or anything.
