- Comment on How I block all online ads 1 day ago:
Just installed, looks pretty nice and works well in my limited testing. I like that you can follow one creator and see their YouTube, Nebula, and Patreon videos in one place

Yeah I’m definitely making an X account to see that
- Comment on After a teddy bear talked about kink, AI watchdogs are warning parents against smart toys 1 week ago:
A friendly reminder that “AI toys” have no AI in them, they’re only an internet-connected microphone.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 1 week ago:
As people living outside the US know, these bubbles (like 2008) don’t lead to a crisis of their sector, but of the US economy at large which in turn, very unfortunately, affects everything else. Wall Street is held up by the Nvidia/OpenAI/Oracle holy trinity, and once that crashes it’s not only taking LLMs and GPUs with it
- Comment on OpenAI Is Having a Mental Health Crisis 1 week ago:
Yes, it started when they gutted the non-profit oversight and charter. The illness is called capitalism.

I’m gonna be so mad if I die before seeing a supernova.

That’s a steam dock. Stupid

- Comment on Why put a no trespassing sign on a bus stop 1 week ago:
Trespassing what? Are even bus stops private property in the US?
- Comment on And my premature ejaculation is the shortcoming!? 1 week ago:
In a sense, yeah. Not that they shouldn’t be criticised, but that they shouldn’t be taken seriously. Just read every comment as if it has a /s at the end and you’ll have a more enjoyable time

Are you sure the bed mesh gets loaded? Maybe when you switched profiles in your slicer you lost the start g-code that does that

- Comment on AI Slop Recipes Are Taking Over the Internet — And Thanksgiving Dinner | Food bloggers see traffic dip as home cooks turn to AI, inspired by impossible pictures 1 week ago:
SEO started killing the internet long before the genAI wave yeah. I was also always a bit mad at the concept in general. Surely search engine optimization is something for… search engines, not websites? I hate that we ended up changing the way we create websites in order to appease The Machine, instead of it getting better at surfacing quality content

He’s a professional geek
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 2 weeks ago:
Because news in the US exist to make money and influence, not to inform
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 2 weeks ago:
The US loves their useless, expensive middlemen.
- Comment on Cloudfare outage post mortem 2 weeks ago:
Congratulations, now your “good” servers are dead from the extra load and you also have a queue of shit to go through once you’re back up, making the problem worse. Running a terabit-scale proxy network isn’t exactly easy, the amount of moving parts interacting with each other is insane. I highly suggest reading some of their postmortems, they’re usually really well written
- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 2 weeks ago:
Did they though? Aside from the “every outage is a latent bug” angle, from their postmortem it doesn’t seem to me like they tried to blame it on anything but their failure to contain the spread of (and timely diagnose) the issue
- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 2 weeks ago:
No, in “DevOps” environments “configuration changes” is most of what you do every day
- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 2 weeks ago:
Plus the guys who are hired that systems don’t fail even under inexperienced or malicious employees, management who designs and enforces the whole system, etc… “one guy fucked up and needs to be fired” is just a toxic mentality that doesn’t actually address the chain of conditions that led to the situation
- Comment on Cloudfare outage post mortem 2 weeks ago:
It looks like you have never read their blog. They do a lot of research and upstream contributions to improve their stack
- Comment on One more internet meme 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t get the point of including a protocol together with 3 big corpos. Use a recursive resolver (with caching) instead of a forwarding one, and it’s fully decentralised at the TLD level.
- Comment on Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean 2 weeks ago:
AI winters and history repeating itself. As a concept it’s here to stay, but every incarnation leads to a cycle of misconception, hype, and disillusionment
- Comment on I'M SAAAAAVVVVIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGGGG (me_irl) 2 weeks ago:
They’re in here, somewhere
- Comment on Cloudfare outage post mortem 2 weeks ago:
Their motivation is that that file has to change rapidly to respond to threats. If a new botnet pops up and starts generating a lot of malicious traffic, they can’t just let it run for a week
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 3 weeks ago:
They suspended access to WARP from London during the outage, so I guess the traffic was originating/hitting that location
