- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 1 day ago:
Absolutely. I’ve been working from home for ~3 years and I’ll never go back. I have so much more time for myself (and also, no one is annoying me with smalltalk or stupid questions).
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 4 days ago:
I find music on YouTube and autoconvert it to MP3 with yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It embeds the metadata, cover art and tries to parse the artist and title as best as possible.
yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio --audio-quality 0 --audio-format mp3 --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata --metadata-from-title “%(artist)s - %(title)s” --playlist-start 1 --playlist-end 999 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=123abc -o “./files/%(artist)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s” --cookies-from-browserNeeds minimal adjustment sometimes if the title format is weird, but works 95% automatic. What I like most about this is the fact that music vanishes all the time from YouTube. No one deletes the files from my harddrive but me.

I imagine you must be quite skilled to be able to manage your whole-ass company (and run their systems into the ground). So it shouldn’t be a problem to get another job after being fired.
Why fuck with your own life, just because of your own ego and a drive for revenge? That guy must’ve watched too many animes.
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 1 week ago:
There isn’t a CFW for PS4. But what we have is GoldHEN (which enables us to run decrypted games, also called fPKG’s) and various methods to run GoldHEN.
Up to firmware 9.00 (I believe) there is a browser exploit to run it, up to 11.00 you can also hack the console via PPP (pppwn) and up to 12.02 GoldHEN can be loaded with a BluRay you have burned before.
So you basically start the system and put it in a state where it accepts unsigned code. It’s very similar to PS3HEN. There’s also a method of hacking the console with some obscure Japanese games and one with a PS2 game.
The channel MODDED WARFARE always reports on those methods and makes tutorials, highly recommended.
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 1 week ago:
Well…looks like my employer will have to buy me a Macbook soon.
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 1 week ago:
there’s not a lot that non-Apple users can do with them
Oh, there is.
I am a web developer and I use this to run Safari and the iOS simulator without paying Apple’s “debugging tax”. - Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 1 week ago:
And a PS4 BluRay exploit has just been released, so you can crack the whole thing by burning a BluRay (up to a certain software version).
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 1 week ago:
And depending on how OpenAI tweaked it this time it will either realize its mistake after being made aware of it or double down hard on it.

Thought this was an Alien: Earth quote, but that was actually “When is a machine not a machine?”.

This is so disturbing lol 😵💫

Thank you, I’ve thrown 10€/month into the pool. Thanks for running this instance (and keeping ApocalypticArt alive, after feddit.de failed 🥰).

Define “alright”. Fascism is on the rise here, too.

He needs to partner up with Logitech for the controller to make it extra perfect.

Thanks! 💪
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 2 months ago:
It redirects to “Rectal administration” on Wikipedia, so yeah…I’m also not clicking on that one for “further” research. :D

This guy probably starred in the same movie a lot more:

- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 5 months ago:
I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy
Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”
Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t believe how some people can have relationships with an AI.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 5 months ago:
I’d say its mostly convenience. Discord is easier to use on mobile devices and provides voice chat.

Thank you! :) It’s definitely a passion project for me, because I love the game so much.

I run a forum where the first post was started 23 years ago. Although the activity has drastically gone down during recent years, people still occasionally come by. I’m very happy I kept it up, even though a lot of people switched over to a Discord server.
Recently we had an incident where the sole admin of the Discord server was banned and the whole Discord had to be abandoned and created from scratch. People still keep using this trash! I’m not arguing with them, I’ll just keep an alternative up. One day, when Discord really enshittifies itself to a point where it becomes unuseable, people will be happy for my stubborness. I hope.
(It’s a forum for an obscure space pirate game for the PC - I-War 2.)
