- Comment on FCC commissioner writes op-ed titled, “It’s time for Trump to DOGE the FCC“ 1 day ago:
Before anyone jumps on this guy’s bandwagon wagon cuz its fuck musk sentiment, look at his proposal from a net neutrality perspective. The chairman who opposed passing 2017’s title II net neutrality legislation is proposing more crack downs on everyone’s access to alternate ISP options.
THE FCC HAS AMD ALWAYS WILL BE IN THE POCKET OF THE MAJOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS TO BOTTLENECK EVERYONE INTO ONLY HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET THROUGH ONE PROVIDER FOR AN AREA SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT POLICIES LIKE BADWIDTH THROTTLING, CENSORSHIP AND ELIMINATING PIRATING CHANNELS. The only defense we have against losing net neutrality is by lowering their customer retention rates when customers jump to other companies. Which is only effective when there aren’t regulations limiting the number of competing providers.
There are plenty of reasons and justifications for saying fuck musk but this is not one that is worth the potential cost to your net neutrality.
- Comment on FCC commissioner writes op-ed titled, “It’s time for Trump to DOGE the FCC“ 1 day ago:
Or you could just read the first paragraph of an article you are guna put the effort into expressing your opinion over. The chair of the FCC is saying if DODGE guts the FCC under the guise of reducing the operating cost to save on tax revenues then all they will be doing is reducing the country’s access to affordable high speed internet. Subsequently pushing more people to use starlink.
This took more waaaay more time to write than it took to read. Maybe instead of needing information spoon fed to you, you could save others who share this platform the hassle of being your personal chatgpt.
- Comment on I used to get annoyed at all the permission requests from Snapchat over and over again. Ever since the enshittification movement tho, I've been groomed to appreciate their transparency. 1 day ago:
Snapchat gives you options to not give permissions to access your decice’s media, notifications, contacts, text and/or calls. It has no active background activity or network activity. It only stores content that I give it authorization for. That is not anywhere close to meeting the defined parameters to be considered spyware. It literally qualifies it as not being spyware.
Spyware will not request consent because its purpose is to access data without your knowing about it. When legitimate software includes spyware, they are only able to do so by burying the consent in the installation agreement. They dont give users options to opt out of it.

- Comment on San Francisco crypto founder faked his own death 2 days ago:
Fuck I thought from the title it was an answer to the identy of the creator of bitcoin who is often credited as being the creator of the whole cryptocurrency concept, Satoshi Nakamoto. Not a story about a douche who created another useless crypto coin.

What is signal? To me when I hear someone refer to signals they are referring to a gas station chain called signals. Which also have payment machines for credit cards that will prompt you to enter your card’s pin but you can just hit the enter button without putting in your pin in order to process the purchase as credit card payment and not as an atm card payment.
If you are referring to a different company, product or service that isnt the gas station signals, than I am absolutely delighted at this mix up and how much the two have crossed verbiage uses. 🤣🍻

- Comment on UK special forces veterans accuse colleagues of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan 2 days ago:
You know you fucked up when someone who was at your side fighting for your lives is the one who turns you in.
The person who turned them in clearly has a good conscience and prolly had their back in many fire fights. Its crazy to think that, that same person who prolly had their back in the most horrible wartime conditions and prolly trusted their life in their fellow brother’s hands, saw them do something so awful that it made them go against all the associated instincts that come with that level of trust and turned their brother(s) in.
I’m not saying the guy who was turned in was trustworthy. I’m just saying that there is a very high level of trust and support that is required to be in active duty combat. Its not much different than the concepts which allow corruption to spread so easily through police departments. I dont doubt there are good cops coming out of the academy who see other cops do shit they think is wrong but have been in situations together where their life depended on the cops in their department having their back when their life was perceived to be dependent on the other cop’s abilities and timing.

- Comment on Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue 2 days ago:
It could just be karma whores expanding to other platforms than reddit. Idk if it’s still a thing but there was a time on reddit where people would steal posts, repost old top posts and aquire as much karma as they can on new accounts. Then sell the username to shills so they can push their agenda without looking like an obviously belligerent shill. They might try the same approach on lemmy before realizing karma doesn’t mean shit here which is where you see them deleting their accounts.
While possible I do think it’s a stretch, I also think it would be completely inefficient to try and train any LLM by feeding it data from lemmy. I wanna say the average number of active users on lemmy at any point is around 40,000. Compared to what google says reddit’s avg daily active users which is 52,200,000 users per day, it would seem like a complete waste of resources.
- Comment on Zelensky agrees to Putin-proposed meeting in Turkey after Trump demands they talk 2 days ago:
Wild that it’s safe to assume this meeting between two presidents who are actively at war with each other will be more productive than the meeting between the US president and vice meeting with the president of the country we have been supporting, arming, and financing for years in the same war.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 3 days ago:
I mean the statement was heavily implied to be anecdotal to my experience but I’ll add to it by also saying I haven’t met a single person who runs an emulator console using anything but raspberry pi hardware.
What are the 98 out 100 people that you know using? Mini desktops?
- Comment on Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years 3 days ago:
Not saying you are wrong or anything. I just remembered seeing Bill Gates’ name being brought up as a supporter of raising the estate tax for the richest rich people. Its not the article I remembered but didn’t feel like spending time sorting thru the search results for the most reliable source but here is a Forbes article that mentions Gates as supporting raising the estate tax:
forbes.com/…/billionaires-more-taxes-gates-buffet…
There is prolly more/better articles out there but all the top search results today are referencing Trump’s estate tax hike that was announced in the past day or so.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 3 days ago:
How is retropie still able to operate? Seems like 9 out of 10 people who buy a raspberry pi are using it with retropie to play retro games. Seems like something that holds that much of the emulator industry share would be targeted by Nintendo.
Subsequently, if I know someone who knows someone who has a retropie for gaming, what’s the worst case scenario that could come from Nintendo shutting down retropie’s ability to provide the means to emulate? Will it be fine as long as the OS isn’t updated any further? Just run the emulators and roms already installed on it as long as no new emulators or roms are added after the possible crack down?

- Comment on Will all these multiplayer games being released without support for LAN or hosting our own servers no longer be multiplayer when the company shuts down the servers? 5 days ago:
Thought that was just stat quo since call of duty or madden started pumping out annual games. I never checked but I assume I can’t boot up Madden 2011 and still find servers to play on.

- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
It’s 5 one way trips. The article says the trucks run from Dallas to Houston which is about 250 miles according to google. It does mention that over 4 years it’s made 10,000 deliveries but I wasn’t sure if that meant as a company or with the self driving trucks but had a driver in the truck for the 10,000 deliveries. It only specifies that the 1,200 miles has been done without a person in the truck.

Stories like this is all informal thought about watching one of the new episodes of Black Mirror. To bend your elbow past 90 degrees or raise it above your head, please upgrade your subscription plan. Not saying anything based off the article its just a gut feeling some of these soon to be real medical advances are going to allow our already scum bag ran Healthcare system to exploit impaired patients and their dependency of a tech device.

I mean you get caught fucking a bunch of children and see what happens to your bank account lol. I’m amazed it’s that much with how much fewer people attend church each new generation over the last. I’m 37 and don’t know a single person +/- 10years from my age who even acknowledges religion in any sense muchless enough to give money to any religous organization. As far as I can see it’s all boomer money and it has to be dwindling fuckin fast.

- Comment on New electronic “skin” could enable lightweight night-vision glasses 2 weeks ago:
Glasses? How about on scopes? That would be fuckin revolutionary. The price of any decent night vision or thermal scope has come down but is still thousands of dollars. Olus in my experience every type of night vision scope has their own drawbacks. Infrared needs the mounted flashlight and so any obstruction that blocks the light is still dark. Thermal is great for scanning but disorientating enough if you are attempting to shoot a running or moving animal it tough to have the time to take quality shot. The other drawback of both is usually the weight of the scope or for infrared, the weight of the scope and light. A scope with night vision film or even a normal scope with night vision filmed glasses would be game changer.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 3 weeks ago:
How the fuck would this be more cost effective than them making their own chrome based browser and not be a demonstration of their over inflated operating costs and company valuation?
If you are paying for a service that is charging you enough to allow them to buy the most widly used browser from a company whose business model is to monopolize data, then maybe you’re paying them a titbit more than what the service they’re providing is worth.
