  I didn’t down vote you, but Discord is a huge offender regarding enshittification of the internet. Reddit might even be worse.

  I’m not afraid of that at all. But if you draw shit tons of power from a crappy socket, things start to heat up real quick. Like getting really fucking hot, as in burn your house down hot.

  But social media is 95% turbocancer…

  Yes I do, speak for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. NV was pretty boring to me while FO3 was actually fun.

  Harold Faltermeyer made some nice music for the game. Opala is still stuck in my head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just saying, that it is a problem and unless you’re fascist yourself, it is also your problem. Banning phones is ridiculous and will never go through anyway.

  By the way, the internet is a billion times more efficient in spreading propaganda than anything we’ve ever seen before. Something needs to be done. Banning phones is not the solution though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pocket PCs were a thing. I loved them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The rise of fascists isn’t your problem? Believe it or not, they’d never be this strong if it weren’t for brainwashing the masses via smartphones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s back to just SmartTube. SmartTubeNext was a temporary thing to get SmartTube back on track iirc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not. Alphabet is already making billions off our data. Just use uBlock or ReVanced or whatever and don’t shovel more money into their greedy pockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We had those, they were called Pocket PCs. I too want them back. I loved the Dell Axim x51v. A tablet does the job, but it’s the same shitty OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely going to be selective censorship, i.e. Nazi cunts stay, criticism of said Nazi cunts will go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android 16 is here⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No revanced on iOS either. That alone disqualifies iPhones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, how about they fuck off and leave me alone with my private data? I don’t want to have to lag for something that should be an irrevocable right.

  Even if you completely degoogle and whatnot, these cunts will still get hold of your data one way or the other. Its sickening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it had always been there. But social media has made it so much more efficient. It’s hard to compare it with traditional media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It definitely is the enabler though. Without social media, propaganda could never have spread as fast. And it also brought together every village idiot. I know of simpleminded people who never uttered a racist word in their lives before. Now all they talk about is how the AfD will save Germany from the brown people. This is literally brainwashing. So I stand by my comment that social media is the cause of all this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media lead to things like maga and the ruse of Nazis in Europe. It’s not necessarily tech itself that is making us dumb, it’s reeling people in through simplicity, then making them addicted to it and ultimately exploiting this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anki is free. If you need gamification, then perhaps memrize is for you. I’d just go with anki though. Ankidroid is a good app to work with the anki decks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The World's First Mass-Produced Flying Car Is Here and It Costs $1 Million⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t get how these companies keep getting funded. There’s literally no way these things will ever become a thing. It’s simply ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur’s Gate 3. I’d never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avoiding AI is hard – but our freedom to opt out must be protected⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, here we are. The majority of humanity addicted to social media, being brainwashed by far-right assholes into voting for Nazis. That worked out really well, didn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burned Loss⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it was because CAD was already under fire by 4chan for being a subpar gaming comic. This just delivered meme material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also a billion times more annoying. Just use a rake, dude. And while were at it, install a lawnbot. Fucking lawnmowers are just as loud and annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid’s profile function? That’s the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just installed Pop!OS :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hasbro is a requirement for the D&D license, no?

  Larian at least went against the grain of the AAAAA Industry and delivered something truly wonderful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Smouldering Durtles is great for learning kanji, if that’s part of your goal. In all likelihood you won’t want to do that though.

  Human Japanese is great for learning grammar!

  Any communities you can recommend? In the past I had many unfortunate encounters with toxic users that had no patience for newbies. If they’re anything like you, I’d be very happy!
