⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
They aren’t building things for our benefit, they’re building things for their benefit. All the idiots who gleefully bought devices with surveillance and tracking and data collection, normalized it. The masses showed them they can take from our private lives whatever they want and the masses of fucking morons will happily pay them to do it. Why the hell would they stop taking when the consumer market has lost any sense of caution?

Just part of the lifecycle of every digital service.

A rising tide drowns those who can’t swim.

Or the PC market existing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
How about you ship with it off by default and users can choose to turn it on? No? That won’t serve your corporate goals, will it?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If they already made all the games we ever need, would they start taking them away just so we have to buy new ones, instead? This is the future of steam when Gabe dies.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The cultural equivalent of:

“So what do you like to do?”

“I like to have fun.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
We’re not looking to, but if it happens, it happens.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Part of me is glad the liabilities of trusting these companies with the history of your life are validated. If you don’t control access, you don’t own it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
We stop kids from doing all kinds of things. Just because some prove difficult doesn’t make this impossible. We can code software to make the bottles not open but we can for any app on a digital device, especially smart phones.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What do the realists, believe?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Impressive how quickly, and for no clear reason, enacting a mass access barrier to the Internet can be implemented by multiple nations all at the same time with little to ne debate or forewarning. What the fuck do they know that they aren’t telling us?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You don’t even need to set any specifics, just flip the ‘not an adult’ option on and that’s it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Better for what? So they can indoctrinate kids into normalizing absolute government overreach and a further slide into a technofascist state?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So ban social media. Why is age proof the barrier rather than better parental controls? Age verification comes with identification tracking liabilities across the internet. Fuck this dystopian hellscape that is forming.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It will trickle down any second now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Eat the rich.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Why is every country suddenly putting age verification for the internet? Europe, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, I think. Why? Why now? Wtf are they expecting that this is suddenly a damned priority?

Mmmhmmm…mhhmmm yes, okay, uh huh, i see…so the conclusion I’ve reached is i’m stupid.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With Obamacare premium hikes, more people opting for no coverage or cheaper plans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They have no fucking choice. People are priced out of staying alive. But still work even call their representatives to yell at.

Me stupid. Pls dumbsplain.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is an accepted part of the economy. Our leaders have decided us dying for private profit is acceptable. Now add up all the accepted deaths per year from every product and service and see how many of us are sacrificed for profit.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my Mind⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Charlie Kirk did plenty of debate content tbh, as do a lot of podcasters. But advertiser’s don’t have 2 hours at a time to convince you to give them your money. So perhaps it the timeframe that they are working with. For their purposes, more encounters may be more effective than longer single encounters. Debates still work to change minds, just not in the context of a 10 second advertising. window.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
While I think wetwear is inevitable, it would nice if it wasn’t spearheaded by entertainment and propaganda companies.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my Mind⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, a few either a things are different as well…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my Mind⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It isn’t more effective or cost effective. It may still be effective.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Morals are restrictions on behavior that impede efficacy and getting rich requires successfully getting away with breaking the rules, leaving the moral people poor and paperless.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Business. It’s business. Business has inescapable behaviors that manifest anytime it touches anything. It trades user experience for profit seeking. It’s not even complex. Profit always comes at the cost of product value and the purpose of business if profit. It always is, it always will be.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It looks like a rigid design philosophy that must completely rebuild for any change. If the speed of production becomes fast enough, and the cost low enough, iterating the entire program for every change would become feasible and cost effective.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
‘We’ are an exploited labour force whose labour value is stolen by greedy, arrogant psychopaths. ‘We’ have only so much that can be taken before something snaps and I’m guessing ‘You’ are the closest company representative within our reach.
