- Comment on Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech 2 months ago:
Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?
- Comment on How Telegram's Founder Pavel Durov Became a Culture War Martyr [404] 2 months ago:
Telegram is not an encrypted messenger with a focus on privacy. Ergo it’s not an attack on chat encryption and privacy. Why do people not seem to get that?!
- Comment on IBM is latest U.S. tech giant to pull back from China 2 months ago:
They all learn? IBM basically got pushed out by China. This is good for China and bad for IBM.
- Comment on When A.I.’s Output Is a Threat to A.I. Itself | As A.I.-generated data becomes harder to detect, it’s increasingly likely to be ingested by future A.I., leading to worse results. 2 months ago:
This is completely unrelated.
Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

Good. Competition is good.

Do you feel attacked?
- Comment on Inflation? 2 months ago:
This is a phenomenon that’s literally thousands of years old. It’s just basic economics. If there was good competition, there wouldn’t be any price gauging. And that’s the regulator’s fault not the company’s.
- Comment on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn 2 months ago:
This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

Surely you will
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 2 months ago:
Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.
- Comment on Chinese entities turn to Amazon cloud, rivals to access US chips, AI 2 months ago:
You have to go well outside the US to find reliable and neutral news. They don’t know about it or are in denial.
- Comment on Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed. 2 months ago:
Valve doing their Valve thing.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
It’s beyond me how they can affors all of these free games and exclusive but not a single capable developer to make this platform beyond just the bare minimum.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
I gave Epic’s store a chance but even after all this time it’s still shit and very far from feature parity with Epic. There’s not even proper reviews. No big-picture equivalent. No good out-of-the-box Linux support. No Steam-Deck. The list is very very long. Until Epic starts delivering, the 30% cut Valve takes is more than justified.
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
What I mean is that the company and the worker have the same interests in some way. Everyone wants to make money to pay the bills. Companies are no charities and your work isn’t either. If you dislike your relationship with the company, you can just resign that relationship any time. But one thing will never change: the worker will only do the work required from him and the company will only pay the wage required from them. There is nothing evil about that. It’s human nature for the past 20.000 years.
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
The workers also just care about profits. Nobody is working for free. Everyone needs to pay their bills. Saying they don’t is pretentious.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Not if they improve it. But I doubt they will.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
It looks like it was written in plain html.
- Comment on Six people missing, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, after tornado sinks luxury yacht off Sicily 2 months ago:
Yes.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Recall AI feature won’t be available for Windows testers until October 2 months ago:
Is there any reason except spying of for baking this software into the OS? Why are they pushing so hard with this?!
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
I’d be willing to pay for their service if it didn’t entail creating an account and letting me get tracked even further.
I don’t know what the solution is, but ads isn’t, a Google account isn’t, but piracy isn’t either.
- Comment on Six people missing, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, after tornado sinks luxury yacht off Sicily 2 months ago:
People died. What is wrong with you?

Let’s revolt. Let’s burn down every store in town.
- Comment on The Epic Games Store Officially Launches on Mobile Devices 2 months ago:
Better to have competition than relying on the same launcher for every app. Monopolies are convinient but actually really bad for you.
- Comment on If buying it isn't owning it... 2 months ago:
Up to 100MBit/s video. Audio bitrate is usually lossless and has a higher bitrate than the entire video + audio stream of most streaming services.
- Comment on If buying it isn't owning it... 2 months ago:
You’re talking about writable discs. Normal blue-ray discs have a much longer life expectancy than most other mediums including HDDs. Standards and manufacturing have improved too. Modern discs have a life expectancy for at least 50-150 years. I have a collection of over 300 discs. 100 of them are 10 years or older. None of them have failed on me. And I don’t have a temperature controlled room or anything like that.
- Comment on If buying it isn't owning it... 2 months ago:
You can always skip the movie trailers if you have the right player. I have 300+ blue-rays and not a single one has unskippable trailers. Besides, you can just rip the disc and remove the ads.
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
How is this related?
- Comment on If buying it isn't owning it... 2 months ago:
Buy Blu-rays. Highly underrated.
- The sound and video quality is the best you’ll get anywhere.
- It selectively supports the movies and artists you like.
- You get amazing extras and documentaries about the movie.
- Nobody can take the movie away from you.
- You can rip the disc with MakeMKV to view digitally with Jellyfin.
