- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 3 weeks ago:
The isn’t snark. The answer is simply greed. The rich want to be richer. They want it all. It’s a human flaw. The mentality is, “I don’t care about anyone else, I want it all.”

- Comment on YouTube will shove ads in your face even when you pause videos 1 month ago:
I so look forward to seeing an ad when I pause a video to inspect whatever is on the screen at that moment.
- Comment on I want an AI TV that blocks all forms of advertising. 2 months ago:
You’ll never be able to buy that at like a Walmart of Best Buy type retailer. TVs these days are already just spy machines to serve ads. It’s a lovely idea, but it’ll never happen.
- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 2 months ago:
Capitalism/the profit motive is how physicians get caught in these systems of apathy. My comment isn’t an over simplification, it is the root cause.
Is the entirety of the healthcare system incredibly complex? Absolutely, and within that complex system there are all sorts of problems that could be teased out to study and address. None of that will dramatically change the outcome of a system that is designed solely to extract as much profit as it can.
When profit is the primary goal of a healthcare company (and the legally mandated responsibility of that company if it is publicly traded) the end result is the system we have.
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 2 months ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t there have to be a code layer somewhere in there?
It’s like all those “no code” platforms that just obscure away the actual coding via a gui and blocks/elements/whataver.
- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 2 months ago:
Capitalism.
Healthcare and insurance are for profit industries and the corporations running the healthcare and insurance business don’t give a fuck about the health of the patients. They want all the monies and want to move patients through as quickly and cheaply as possible to maximize their profits.
- Comment on YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel 2 months ago:
I went into the article thinking I’d need to replace my keys, and after reading decided I’m a very unlikely target for this attack. My threat model doesn’t include nation states, so I’m gonna keep using my yubikeys for the foreseeable future.
I have been thinking about new hardware key(s) that can handle more than 20 passkeys, but that’s not a high priority for me right now.
- Comment on YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel 2 months ago:
It’s due to a cryptographic library implementation in a controller used in the yubikey. It’s a third party controller, and this isn’t exclusive to yubikeys either, a shitload of other stuff uses the same controller and is likely vulnerable to the same attack.
Also, the attack requires around $10k worth of equipment and physical access to the yubikey, so while a valid attack vector, it’s also not something to get into a panic about.
- Comment on Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement 2 months ago:
I’ve got a raspberry pi 4 (8GB) running Kodi (via osmc) hooked up to our tv. The tv itself is a Roku tv that isn’t allowed to connect to the internet.
I’ve also got a pc that used to be my streaming/video editing rig back when I used to make videos, but I repurposed it as my server, and it runs Jellyfin, along with a host of other apps/services for me and my family.
The pc is older, but as a server it works great. Biggest drawback is power consumption, it’s not nearly as efficient as a mini pc with a n100 or something similar, but for my purposes it works great.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
It definitely depends on the instance, but as a whole it’s probably a bit of carryover culture from the other place where emoji are not generally accepted.
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 2 months ago:
What they’re saying: “we promise to support your device for seven years! Isn’t that great!”
What they mean: “We promise to keep our spying/data gathering/ad serving updated to the latest spying/gathering/ad tech to extract as much data and money as we can.”
(I 100% didn’t read this article and am 100% taking the piss on these shitty companies spying on us and manipulating us)

- Comment on What are you brewing? 2 months ago:
ah, I’ve definitely had some batches go bad. Just had to dump half a gallon that I didn’t drink fast enough. Though I do drink it pretty regularly, and I pretty much always have a batch brewing.
- Comment on What are you brewing? 2 months ago:
Regularly. I’ve been brewing it for years. Do you brew kombucha?

I’ve got kombucha going. I need to process and bottle it and get a new batch going

I’m headed in that direction.

- Raspberry pi 4 running osmc connected to our TV. TV itself has no internet connection
- Want to move to graphene os, but riding this iphone 12 mini until it dies
- Linux on my server and my primary computer. Have an M1 Mac Mini that my wife primarily uses (too many papercuts for her with asahi linux. We tried and switched back), and iPadOS on the iPad Pro that I have that I’m also riding until it dies.

Translation:

Fuck capitalism. I will (and have been) doing my absolute to avoid buying any kind of physical device that requires an app to function
