I HAAAAAATE this so bloody much. It’s such a gross feeling when your device literally stops working the way it’s supposed to work just because a website wants to shove more of their crap at you.

- Comment on Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies 1 day ago:
They’d have to fork from early Windows 10. There’s so much garbage introduced by humans at that point, nevermindLLMs.
But on the other hand, Windows is a dead and broken product to me. So I don’t care.
- Comment on Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines 2 days ago:
That’s a form of 2 factor auth, but that’s not what all 2 factor auth is. There are many services that use 2fA time based tokens, or other methods. Any service that uses your phone number for 2FA is actively making the security on your account worse.

- Comment on Inside the fiery, deadly crashes involving the Tesla Cybertruck: Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they’ve disintegrated drivers’ bones. 2 days ago:
anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it’s a giant “fuck everybody but me” vehicle
That’s how many people see it, but I know a few people that are entirely disconnected from “celeb culture” and the news in general, and just think the cybertruck is neat technology. And to be fair, putting aside the massive safety issues with it, it does have noteworthy technology that on their own are interesting.
And I think the cross section of people who are interested in the cybertruck, people who are not particularly intelligent, and who also have money are generally going to be the customer base. It’s fine to criticize, but to say “no sympathy” when they die is gross.

Felon Muskrat went full mask off way back in 2016 when he called child rescuers a Pedo.
That wasn’t “mask off”, that was him being publicly petulant. That was him not knowing how to react to someone telling him “no”. It was the start of the cracks in his pubic veneer. Most rational people would say his reaction to that situation was ridiculous and childish, but I would bet there’s a good amount of people who still aren’t aware of what he said about the rescuers.
His “mask off” moment was during the 2024 elections when he went full Nazi (openly).
Granted, there were always indications for people who knew what to pay attention to, but that’s not most people.

Anybody that bought a cyber truck did so knowing full well Elon is a Nazi.
The cybertruck was available to buy before he went full mask off. And not everyone is “in-touch” with everything.
No compassion at all
Disgusting.

I guess you missed the part where I replied to you that nearly all my Lemmy comments are done from my phone.

Nah, I just have a life and only do quick replies to you while I’m in the washroom. Otherwise, I’m doing more useful things like everything else.
- Comment on Your Phone is an Entire Computer 1 week ago:
you most likely fall into some category of Luddite, hanging on to your PC
Ya, all the companies that design and make the smartphones and their OSes must be Luddites also, because they all use PCs to do that.
thinking your PC isn’t also a tool for spying on you
Mine isn’t. Perhaps it’s time for a modern and free operating system.
I’m sorry I interrupted you. You may continue screeching.
You must be a troll.
- Comment on Your Phone is an Entire Computer 1 week ago:
They’re getting downvoted because of the condescending tone and blind and ignorant assumptions. That comment deserves all the downvotes.
- Comment on Your Phone is an Entire Computer 1 week ago:
You have options that are infinitely more efficient and less annoying than babysitting a PC.
I get personal preferences, but saying the words “more efficient than babysitting a PC” is on a whole new level.
I guarantee I can type faster on a full keyboard than you can even talk and can simply get things done faster and more efficiently on a computer than you can on any mobile device.
At some point you must face the question: Are you using a PC because it’s how you’ve always done it?
No, I don’t have to face that question, because you have no idea how old I am. You’re blindly assuming that I only started using mobile devices well into adulthood, and you’d be wrong.
My keyboard works just fine. I’m sorry yours doesn’t.
I didn’t say my keyboard “doesn’t work”, I said “sucks”. The difference in ergonomics between a (relatively) tiny mobile touchscreen keyboard and a full sized mechanical keyboard is like comparing a 40w lightbulb to the sun.
At some point you must face the question: Are you using a phone instead of a PC because it’s how you’ve always done it?
- Comment on Your Phone is an Entire Computer 1 week ago:
I hate using a phone. It’s small, the screen is tiny, the keyboard sucks (all touchscreen keyboards suck), you can’t have more than one thing in the tiny screen at a time (yes split screen exists and Android has freeform windows, but they suck even more).
A desktop is a breeze to use. It feels liberating to use after being on a phone.

- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 2 weeks ago:
you might find a priest that tells you to stop smoking for your health no matter how you phrase the question about lighting up and prayer. What people are receptive to is going to vary.
Ya, I’ve read the thing about praying and smoking in another comment. The funny thing is that I have very specific opinions about smoking and would argue that smoking while praying is disrespectful, but God would listen in any case.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 2 weeks ago:
Are we surprised some people’s thought processes and decision making might turn extreme when exposed to this?
Yes, actually. I’m not doubting the power of language, but I cannot ever see something anyone ever says alter my sense of reality or right from wrong.
I had a “friend” say to me recently “why do you always go against the grain?” My reply was “I will go against the grain for the rest of my life if it means doing or saying what’s right”.
I guess my point is that I have a very hard time relating to this.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 2 weeks ago:
Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can’t use regular gas in them? No, I thought so
Photoshop is trash.
Minecraft works just fine (it’s Java for crying out loud)
Steam works natively. Valve’s most popular hardware device runs Linux.
Media player classic
You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?
without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?
Two things here;
-
You can get around on Linux without a terminal
-
The terminal is king in functionality
-
Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn’t a Linux only thing
If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you’re setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.

- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 3 weeks ago:
My specific issue is a buried line at some point between my house and the next ISP demark. I did say “all the time”, but that was hyperbolic. It only goes down when it rains or when snow is melting, which suggests a cable somewhere is cracked and water gets in and degrades the signal.
It happens maybe once a week in the spring, and is back as soon as I reboot the router.
But your assertion that just because a single person’s internet goes down that the entire country’s internet is not “the best” is childish and a reductionist argument.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 3 weeks ago:
I do live in a 1st world country. I enjoy socialized (free) health care. And actually my country has some of the best internet in the developed world.
Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries.
I guess that rules out the USA.
Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year
Citation needed.
If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.
Nobody should buy this.
