Be ready to get shut out of the global internet and only use Trumpernet.
Seriously though, they’ll block yalls internet access in a few years.
- Comment on Day 611 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 days ago:
I flippin love Stardew! Nice choice.
Also, have been follwing since your first post. What a journey.
- Comment on Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price. 4 days ago:
Yes, you are. The grid is in no way blocking you. You are repeating propaganda.
As the other guy/girl said, only if everyone switched from one day to the other, you’d have a temporary problem.
How many data centers do you think you need to power a car?
- Comment on Europe’s ‘tech sovereignty’ ambitions carry security risks, military warns 1 week ago:
It’s just the classic “Im too old or stuborn to imagine anything different than today”
It’s the same people throwing tantrums at their phone because they moved a setting.

- Comment on Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation 1 week ago:
Fuck sake, dont you all get it. The point in this kind of AI is massive data harvesting and tie it all together.
It wont go away, because that would mean you’ll get some privacy back. You wont.
- Comment on Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe from June. Four new categories added to tackle elements of addictive design, unmonitored online communication and loot boxes 1 week ago:
That’s the right direction I think.
Making an informed choice is important. If you do it anyway, who the hell are we to be everybodys parents.
But maybe that’s wrong of me to think that?
- Comment on Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats 1 week ago:
Shit, I’ve heard so much gear mongoring about this for so long. Also on here.
The EU’s stance have never been anything other than no chat control. All everyone else have pointed out are proposals not even reaching the votes, or got voted down.
I get that you are afraid that the EU would do it anyway and pass the proposals. But they never did, and even if it got voted for today, it’s not even final and needs to go to the council who is openly against it.
But so nice that this is FINALLY put down.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Are you arguing for Nintendo being as evil as the US government, or what is the point here.
- Comment on Musk fails to block California data disclosure law he fears will ruin xAI 2 weeks ago:
That was a proposal never voted through.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo evil for locking down emulators, using it’s market power to smash small indie etc etc.
US evil for raping children, killing them, kills civilians, destroying millions of lives, bombing other countries, deporting families, stealing tax pater money etc etc.
Yeah, good comparison you idiot…
- Comment on Google ends its 30% app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores 2 weeks ago:
That’s true for billing and fees, but not for 3rd party app stores.
The app stores inside Google Play would be 2nd party app stores.
- Comment on Google ends its 30% app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores 2 weeks ago:
Because they were forced by the EU. It’s still a US company.
- Comment on Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries. 2 weeks ago:
More like it actually, yeah.
They make kids pledge alligence to the flag ffs. It’s sick.
- Comment on Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries. 2 weeks ago:
Patriotism is just the US word for nationalism.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
Yes, like I said.
They are not obligated to give it to you at the “wrong” price, but at the same time it’s illegal to put up the sign if it’s misleading with the wrong price on purpose.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
Best shot is that EU will make it possible, as they distance themselves from US tech right now.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
It’s illegal, but not in the way you think.
It’s illegal to write to wrong price on the sign on purpose, but if it happens by accident the shop is not obligated to sell at the price on the sign.
That’s it. OP is blowing this way out of proportion.

- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 3 weeks ago:
Which proves we are not better than reddit. We are just more privacy minded, but still dumb fucks with a keyboard.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 3 weeks ago:
My guess would be these OS’s just wont do it and stop doing business in that state.
Lucky for you, you can just download them anyway.
My guess is also that these lawmakers dont care nor considered other OS’s than Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android.

- Comment on The accidental hacker: how one man gained control of 7,000 robots 3 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed some UK medias doing this. Also before AI. Some make bullet points in the top of the article also for what the whole text is about.
In one way it’s better than people only reading headlines. In the other way, probably more people wont read past the bullet points.
So I dont know if this is AI, or just a cultural thing spreading.
- Comment on Growing up in a conservative house hold where as far back as I could remember running away from these people was my strongest instinct. Its good to know I was 100% correct. 4 weeks ago:
Breaking the chain is both equally hard and important. Your own future family will be a better place.
- Comment on Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives 4 weeks ago:
Proton > US companies
It’s not perfect, but no reason to recommend Google, Microsoft or Apple above it.
- Comment on Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives 4 weeks ago:
“Very weird way of writing numbers”
You mean like in all of Europe (excluding UK and Ireland) and latin America? It’s only english speaking countries and some Asian countries that separate with ,
- Comment on A strong work ethic at the office is considered good, while a strong work ethic at your hobby is considered bad. 4 weeks ago:
Cant argue with that.
- Comment on European Parliament bars lawmakers from using AI tools 4 weeks ago:
Imagine writing things as important as laws with AI. Or maybe just look to the far left of the globe, which ironically runs the most far right politics in the west.
- Comment on A strong work ethic at the office is considered good, while a strong work ethic at your hobby is considered bad. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, maybe you are right that “pop culture people” would look down on it because it’s not mainstream.
I play DnD myself, so I guess I’m the wrong person to ask haha.
