Give me a mandatory field and I will give you a latrine.
- Comment on Ntfy.sh Protonmail notifications 3 hours ago:
Notifications are overrated. I turn them off for the bulk of apps.
Devote one or two small time windows each day for life admin. Outside those windows it shouldn’t be seen or heard.
- Comment on Neo-Nazis Are All-In on AI 6 days ago:
The purpose of the piece is to smear public access and control of AI tools. It’s known as ‘running propaganda’.
- Comment on Neo-Nazis Are All-In on AI 6 days ago:
I’m happy with outgroup x being able to develop their own AIs, because that means I’m able to develop AIs too.
- Comment on US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement 6 days ago:
Staggeringly naive, tbh. Your profession will be made obsolete as a self-sustaining for-profit enterprise either way. The difference is that the tooling can either be owned exclusively by megacorp, or it can be owned by people.
It’s better to be a bard relying on the charity and small custom of others than a literal sharecopper wagecuck fueling Universal;s proprietary model for next to nothing. At least in the former case you’re free.
- Comment on The Delusion of Advanced Plastics Recycling 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if the average consumer does more for the environment by reducing consumption by 10% and not recycling anything, than maintaining normal consumption and regularly recycling.
- Comment on [Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? 1 week ago:
Started playing Rain World (oh god)
- Comment on Australian Border Force searched phones of 10,000 travellers in past two years, data shows 1 week ago:
What is the total airport traffic over the same time? I’m interested in getting a sense of the likelihood of a search request.
In any event I’d buy a post office POS for the purpose and use an inflammatory password. Cuck those funts. Call it part of the cost of travel.
- Comment on What file format do you store your media in? 1 month ago:
As an experiment, take any remux from your collection and encode it by dividing the raw video bitrate by 2.5
What you’ll invariably find:
- Perceptible quality degradation at 100 per cent scale: 0%
- " @ 200 percent scale: <1%
- Space saving: >50%
- Comment on Zelda. The minish cap 1 month ago:
Is the BOTW emulation experience at a point where I can get 30-40fops consistently on a 2015 Hawaii series AMD card?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 month ago:
Remember that the next time a service you like removes a function you use due to maintainer bias or pressure from a particular audience.
- Comment on Our friend is going to jail. 1 month ago:
The galling thing from an onlooker’s perspective is that the Australian government can have the case evidence disappeared for trial purposes but will probably go on to make legislation and policy reforms on the basis of that same evidence being brought to light.
The state ain’t nothin but a thug.
- Comment on ‘The cheap option’?: why the Gold Coast may be on track to build the most expensive light rail in the world 1 month ago:
Putting aside Big 4 concerns and fiscal irresponsibility, what annoys me is the continued prejudice involved in the mode of transport chosen.
Bus beats the pants off light rail in just about every respect you can think of. It’s quickly scalable up and down, it can be rerouted on a whim, it doesn’t require additional road or electrical infrastructure to operate, spare parts are plentiful and the parts economy is competitive, maintenance overheads are lower, the fleet is amenable to reuse in non-PT contexts, etc.
But none of this counts for much when you realize you’ll sometimes sit near poor people on the bus! The bus does not boost real estate values.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 month ago:
I’m aware of that, but it’s worth highlighting the double standard anyway.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 month ago:
I don’t understand the mindset in this thread. Functionality is neutral. Withdrawal of it is not a good thing - people should be able to comprehend that even if their vision is partially blocked by their hate boner for X/Musk.
- Comment on How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? 1 month ago:
If you agreed to host her collection carte blanche, that’s your failure to manage expectations.
The better approach would have been to make an X GB partition (whatever you’re comfortable allocating) say there’s a specific amount of space available for family use. When it fills up it fills up.
- Comment on Discussion on Concerns over Auto tl;dr bot 1 month ago:
I’m more concered the community doesn’t have a YT Piped redirect bot.
- Comment on The federal government has given an online age verification pilot the green light. Here's what we know about it 1 month ago:
The optimist in me says they’re doing the feasibility study while knowing nothing workable will result, so it can be shelved with little fuss.
