- Comment on I pressure washed, swapped out the rotten pieces and repainted a deck railing 3 days ago:
Seeing good work like this makes me hate vinyl even more.
- Comment on Doubting Your Favorite Web Search Engine 4 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t think it’s nearly as popular as this blog post makes it out to be. I kind of doubt it or any paid search engine will ever get widespread adoption.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 4 days ago:
The lower end Synology NAS (like my DS420j) don’t support btrfs. They only support ext4, I think.
- Comment on Jellyswarrm - reverse proxy all your Jellyfin servers from a single interface, presenting as a standard Jellyfin server, clients should work out of the box. 1 week ago:
Jellyswarm doesn’t create users or accounts. You give your existing Jellyfin credentials for the servers where you already have an account.
- Comment on YSK that cholesterol is only found in significant quantities in animal products. 1 week ago:
I don’t think there are any. Plants have phytosterols which are structurally similar.
Anyway, doesn’t matter much. The cholesterol you eat isn’t what ends up in your arteries. You should still limit how much you eat because high cholesterol foods are often high in saturated fat. There’s a happy medium but too much puts you in greater risk of heart disease.
- Comment on Subnautica studio Unknown Worlds files lawsuit against ousted founders for allegedly downloading over 170,000 confidential files 1 week ago:
They had one of the coolest games with a lot of faithful fans and they blew it all up by selling out to a shitty company that is focused on squeezing properties for more and more money.
The only people I have sympathy for are the fans.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 2 weeks ago:
“Blurry photos”? Those are just photos with a shallow depth of field. That never went out of style.
- Comment on looking for a fediverse website for hosting a guestbook 2 weeks ago:
Check out: Little Free Library
Build one of these (you can buy kits if you need to) to house your books.
- Comment on Quantum alternative to GPS navigation will be tested on US military spaceplane 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know how it does it but earth rotation speed will be different at different latitudes and elevations. Theoretically, a device sensitive enough might be able to determine precise location from just rotation speed and a very accurate geoid.
- Comment on Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue 2 weeks ago:
Proof that this AI fad is ass backwards.
- Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more 4 weeks ago:
Anyone remember the dot-com bubble?
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash 4 weeks ago:
I’ll just wait until it’s $20.

Transhumanism—if it happens at all—is not happening anytime soon. Like, not for thousands of years if ever.
Listening to people talk about transhumanism today is like seeing people imagine flying cars in the 1950s. “Oh we’ve got this cool technology surely it means this wild extrapolation is right around the corner.”
Give me a break.
- Comment on Stop trying to make ‘kagis’ a thing. 5 weeks ago:
No, I’m not sure. Haven’t really paid attention to the username to be honest.
- Comment on Stop trying to make ‘kagis’ a thing. 5 weeks ago:
I thought you wrote ‘felching’ at first and thought “well, that’s bold but since they get their results from other engines, quite appropriate.”

- Comment on The word literally makes me so irrationally angry 5 weeks ago:
“Literally” has been used a synonym for “figuratively” for, literally, over a century.
Let it go or I’ll start ranting about “begs the question.”
- Comment on Nvidia’s CEO says the US should ‘reduce’ dependency on other countries and onshore technology manufacturing 1 month ago:
Another CEO just talking the talk.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 month ago:
They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.
cut their losses
What losses? Were they not profitable?
and cashed their checks
Yeah, that’s the selling out part.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 month ago:
The founders are the villains of this piece as much as Krafton. They sold out for a big payday. This was all very predictable.
You’d have to really dense to think that Krafton is going to come along with half a billion dollars and just let things carry on as usual.
- Comment on ChatGPT is testing a mysterious new feature called 'study together' | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
“Mysterious”? It’s eight there in the name.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 1 month ago:
I’m happy to see the company go up in flames. Anyone still holding positions in TSLA deserves whatever happens.
- Comment on Here’s What Mark Zuckerberg Is Offering Top AI Talent 1 month ago:
… pay packages of up to $300 million over four years, with more than $100 million in total compensation for the first year…
He’s really just creating the next generation of tech bros. This is how they reproduce. Someone drops a huge sum of money in their laps for being smart in a niche computer field. That money balloons their egos to the point of making them think they are smart at all the things. And, voilà, a techbro is born. The misogyny, racism and infatuation with eugenics comes naturally after that.
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 1 month ago:
ACE is more like a franchise than other retailers. Most are locally-owned. Some are employee-owned.
- Comment on Oculus founder Palmer Luckey leads group of tech billionaires launching new crypto-bank — aims to fill the void left by Silicon Valley Bank's 2023 collapse 1 month ago:
Is that supposed to be a goatee on his chin?
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 months ago:
So, they want to take away healthcare young men don’t have so they’ll get jobs that don’t exist. Sounds like a conservative plan.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 2 months ago:
Send me your game development company and I’ll double it! See my bio for details. You must follow the instructions exactly or you won’t get anything.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 2 months ago:
On the other hand, the new blockchain game they just released had funding from Marc Andreessen. So, color me skeptical.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 2 months ago:
Yes, but this will call emergency services after, I think, ten seconds.
Make sure you cancel that call right away unless you actually need them.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s why they are protesting.
