- Comment on The Biden-Harris Administration Wasted Nearly One Billion on Misinformation ⋆ Brownstone Institute 2 weeks ago:
This is the culprit responsible for Brownstone, AFAICT.
- Comment on The Amazon Echo graveyard 3 weeks ago:
The little ring form factor would be neat if it wasn’t $200 and wasn’t sending data to Amazon.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 3 weeks ago:
I would also like this.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
Why am I buying a machine that small if I need to make space for two separate keyboards? I can just buy a different thing instead.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 3 weeks ago:
Looks like that power button wasn’t placed by a circus clown and it has an option for USB PD, yeah this is more like it.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
Apparently there is a button on the keyboard, so you get to buy an Apple keyboard (I guess that is bundled?) and don’t get to use your own keyboard with it.
- Comment on Google plans AI browser assistant "Jarvis" to automate web tasks. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been meaning to try SearXNG, actually, thank you for the reminder. Is there a good instance you’d recommend to check it out? Otherwise I’ll just test it on one of the ones linked from their repo.
- Comment on Google plans AI browser assistant "Jarvis" to automate web tasks. 3 weeks ago:
You do need an advanced tool to navigate the web now. It takes a lot of effort to filter trash from searches thanks to Google making every result into slop listicle. And even worse now they are AI slop listicles.

Should be felony illegal to use an email without verification.

I am hoping for normal quantities of RAM at realistic prices.
- Comment on AI-powered weapons scanners used in NYC subway found zero guns in one month test 4 weeks ago:
False positives are fine because they only happen to poors.
- Comment on Kroger’s plans to roll out facial recognition at its grocery stores is attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could lead to surge pricing and put customers’ personal data at risk 4 weeks ago:
“No, no, it’s totally different to lower prices when fixed income people are shopping and at all other times leave them the same, our lawyers were very certain of that.”
- Comment on Proud globohomo 4 weeks ago:
God couldn’t possibly be mad at them. Despite doing the opposite of many things Jesus taught, they must be right. The man on the big stage at the hundred-million dollar church told them so.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 4 weeks ago:
If something is bad, then all its adversaries are good and can do no wrong.

Meanwhile the Hexbear users saying that “crackers” should be murdered are welcome to continue their discussions on .ml.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Sure. But unfortunately the country is so diseased with far-right radicals that even for people absolutely opposed to Gaza as a primary motivation, such as Uncommitted (you going to call them genocidal as well?), she is still the least bad option.
But that’s kinda my point, though. Anybody with radical ideas like “Donald will make this worse,” will fail .ml purity testing, regardless of their stance on economics. And so much so that you’ll call them a goose-stepper.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Right? The system is awful that lite is the best of the options that will actually happen. And yet here you are, every day campaigning for fascism deluxe by telling everyone who chooses lite that they are genocidal goose-steppers.
- Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people 4 weeks ago:
Yes, and Prime-only discounts, so they cannot easily be scraped.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Most of their comments are perfect examples. Everyone except them is a fascist liberal who loves genocide.
Even Uncommitted, who have basically the same opinion as everyone that Harris is in the wrong but Donald would be worse. Fascist genocide lovers.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t fully understand but it turns out if you don’t think both Donald and Harris are equally fascist you are a classic liberal and pretty far to the right.

That user didn’t make the post they’re linking to.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
If we have reached the day prior to birth the person carrying doesn’t want an abortion. It’s therefore fine to leave the decision to them and their medical team.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
That’s a huge relief that perhaps my grandparents haven’t seen my embarrassing moments after all.

But the Skyfather himself has given us directions to induce a miscarriage with a tabernacle dust smoothie.

Well, one difference is that the prisoner is not housed inside an unwilling woman’s womb. That’s not where steaks and pork chops come from either. Hope that helps.

It is, but they will persist because their motivation has nothing to do with rational thinking.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
Yes.
Kia is still a good choice to boycott because they’ll let car thieves start your vehicle with any random USB thumbdrive.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
Most people would agree without reading like they do at home.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
Why on earth buy a “smart” monitor. It is a computer. There is a smart device attached by definition.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
LG is on my total boycott list. Samsung, HP, LG.
