Still playing Silksong… why did they launch now…
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 week ago:
I dislike personifying landlords just like I dislike personifying greedy corporations. It’s the system which is broken, and entities which act in greedy self-interest are merely a symptom.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 week ago:
I’d say that’s what separates a good landlord from a bad landlord, is if they are intentionally adding knives and grenades.
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 2 weeks ago:
Everyone here is either on the side of hating big AI companies or hating IP law. I proudly hate both.

What is the problem with techno-solutionism? Is it just that under capitalism techno-solutionism often results in corruption?
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
You can use LineageOS on your existing non-pixel android phone, instead of purchasing a pixel.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
this is exactly why google should have been broken up.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
I use LineageOS. Will this affect me? I’m getting unclear answers. Someone told me that the apps will be forced to verify the OS.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 5 weeks ago:
Dividing the world according to this uniform mathematical system is so stupid. Is this secretly a pro-gerrymandering psyop?
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 month ago:
yeah, I agree. But like, pointing fingers at “politicians” broadly speaking is still just pointing fingers.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 month ago:
The oligarchs want that, and the oligarchs have many politicians in their pocket I presume. However, it’s not like non-corrupt non-bought politicians have any reason to be afraid of a unified nation – they’re in politics to effect change in the first place.
- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 1 month ago:
that’s very pragmatic, but you can also flip this around – almonds are a luxury compared to other more practical foods, whereas LLMs can help a coder net an income if used properly.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 month ago:
if he’s a leftist, then of course he had “evil leftist” influences. The internet exists.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 1 month ago:
Number 1 Number 2 men up down women down down 3/4 of these are down, so it seems to me like the etiquette should be to leave it down.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 month ago:
Fair enough, but I think we shouldn’t be basing our inferences about the shooter from his family’s political leanings. My feeling is that somebody who does something so drastic is likely enough to be an outlier from their family that we can’t really know one way or the other.

But remember, one almond uses at least as much water as two requests to ChatGPT (sources: almonds, queries, data centers), so if you’re eating almonds at all then you’re being inconsistent.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 month ago:
Is this actually true? There’s too much disinformation about the shooter, his motivations, his identity, his family, his partner going around that I have no clue what to really believe about him.
- Comment on Know your place 1 month ago:
why does the existence of larger things have any bearing on our significance?
- Comment on Know your place 1 month ago:
bigger than I thought, tbh.
- Comment on What if LGBT adopts a white and grey striped flag to replace the rainbow? Then Florida would have to abolish crosswalks entirely. 1 month ago:
Cute but this wouldn’t work for this obvious reason – conservatives would be like, “sure buddy. If you say so.”
OTOH, we made the rainbow work so… I guess?
- Comment on What if LGBT adopts a white and grey striped flag to replace the rainbow? Then Florida would have to abolish crosswalks entirely. 1 month ago:
God’s rainbow has 7 colors (ROY G BIV), the LGBT rainbow has 6.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
The OP does not claim that all barycenters are outside of the sun. OP correctly claims that Jupiter & Sun orbit a certain point, and that point is known as the “barycenter,” and that point is outside the sun. I’ll admit they could have gone further to convey the additional curiosity that for other planets the sun-planet barycenter is within the sun, but then it might not be facebook-tier anymore.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
I can’t reasonably glean that, because the OP clearly says this:
It is so massive that both Jupiter & Sun orbit around a common point that lies outside the Sun known as the “barycenter”.
I agree that OP is facebook-tier but your reply is reddit-tier :P
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 month ago:
No, it is not true in general that the barycenter lies outside both objects.

- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 2 months ago:
they drove emulator developer Near/Byuu to suicide. That’s someone who created BSNES / Higan (the first fully-accurate snes emulator), and helped with the fan translations for many games including mother 3.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 2 months ago:
If we ban private jets, billionaires will just buy every seat on the commercial jet. This will be even more inefficient fuel wise, and worse for the environment overall.
Don’t ban private jets. Ban billionaires.

If the world goes to shit but Kiwi Farms is destroyed, I will have a moticum of warmth in my blood.
- Comment on Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 2 months ago:
The user content on fandom is generally pretty good, at least for the wikis I frequent. It’s everything else about the site which is awful – the pop-ups, the completely irrelevant auto-playing videos, how it’s constantly trying to shove other fandom wikis into your attention.
I’m sure the site is improved with userscripts and such, and I am already using adblock, but it’s pretty unforgivable IMO.
- Comment on Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 2 months ago:
Important context: he’s not suggesting AIs writing content for Wikipedia. He’s suggesting using AI to provide feedback for new editors. Take that how you will.
