I object. Trash trucks and pump trucks serve an important purpose. Social media does not.
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 4 days ago:
I understand what you are saying, but it also assumes surrendering to AI. Many of us are planning to avoid, boycott, and fight that slop to our dying breath. AI needs to be unpopular and unprofitable. The technology isn’t going to disappear, but we can make sure it’s not socially acceptable to steal from or replace humans with expensive, inefficient, misanthropic, planet-killing software and hardware.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 5 days ago:
I was just looking into this and I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it before. It makes sense that businesses wouldn’t tolerate that nonsense. Thank you for the life hack, it will be very useful!

Even monitors are being equipped with spyware “smart” features. It seems a matter of time before all new monitors are spyware and adware Trojans like TVs.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 1 week ago:
It is Epic Games CEO Time Sweeney telling us he is a pedophile and a nazi.

Wow. I already thought of Sweeny as scum but I didn’t know he was nazi pedophile scum. So long Epic.

You’re so right. Financially supporting nazis is akshually totally fine sometimes. /s

I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

Framework donates to nazis. When their community brought this up, they defended giving money to nazis.
The full saga starts here.

Not merely allowing. Engaging in persecution, oppression, and soon, murder to defend it.

Government persecution of Buddhists.
That you remembered be was Buddhist is a reminder that his sacrifice mattered.

My LibreOffice is still called LibreOffice.
- Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again 2 weeks ago:
Remember, they are no longer a charity organization, but a publicly traded for-profit business that is “mostly owned” by a charity. If you wondered why they were overpriced and enshittifying, that is why.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 2 weeks ago:
I love Pi, but the price of the 5 is unreasonable. Since RPF spun hardware into publicly traded a for-profit business, I expect it will only continue to get worse.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 2 weeks ago:
Steam Deck is the answer for now. You may still be able to get one of the discontinued LCD models on the cheap, but GamePass is now as expensive as buying a game every month, so it’s better to buy than subscribe. They also make excellent PCs and homelab devices. We bought several LCD versions for the lab instead of Pi 5s, because they are such a good deal.

- 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 3 weeks ago:
The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 3 weeks ago:
Star Citizen works well on Linux via a community-maintained tool called LUG. Getting other fancy peripherals like head tracking requires some creative use of a Windows VM, because those peripheral makers don’t support Linux. If Squadron 42 ever actually materializes, then the community will have it covered.
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 3 weeks ago:
I backed it a lifetime ago and have gone back and forth between “it’s a scam” and “maybe it could happen” so many times that I just don’t care any more. As broken as it is and as slow as progress has been, there has never been anything like it. I check in a couple of times every year and usually have fun seeing the sights for a week or two. I think I’ve had enough enjoyment from it to justify my original cost.
Even though their goals are unreasonable, irrational, and completely mad, they have somehow managed to fund stable development for over a decade and have actually made meaningful progress. Will I live to see it realized? Who knows. I wish them luck for both their sakes and the people who spent big money on this ridiculous dream, but unlike many others, I have no hard feelings personally. I’d like to see it realized someday, but I have no more money to give them even if I wanted to.

- Comment on Mattermost restricted access to old messages after 10000 limit is reached 3 weeks ago:
Mostly. Official releases are licensed MIT only as compiled software. Derivatives are explicitly required to be AGPL 3.0 but they muddy that with trademark terms that give them a lot of ways to excuse crushing genuinely AGPL 3.0 forks. It’s a minefield and it’s designed that way on purpose. In reality, it’s more “source available” than “open source.”
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 3 weeks ago:
I played the game very shortly after release and I read all the newspapers. There was a lot of storytelling going on in them and they definitely weren’t this. Was some prerelease build or placeholder? Because if so, this controversy is pedantic garbage, and I say that as someone who is violently anti-AI.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 3 weeks ago:
WinBoat is amazing, but it doesn’t have GPU passthrough yet. That one feature is the holy grail for Windows virtualization on Linux. I hope the WinBoat team can solve it.

- Comment on YSK: if you dont have Kagi, the next best thing is to search DDG with date range set before 2012 (ish) 3 weeks ago:
This reminds me that I need to give Kagi a try. Even DDG is getting worse because the internet itself is getting worse.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 3 weeks ago:
Oh, hun. You didn’t even get your Bible topics correct. If you had turned this in at the most hateful, ignorant, backwards, antichrist church in Texas as a Sunday School assignment it still would have been a zero point paper. What was that quote at the end of Billy Madison?
Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
That applies to this paper.

And Epstein wrote a letter that directly accuses Trump of being a pedophile child rapist, and the DOJ then tried to delete it before remembering that the internet is forever and re-uploading it elsewhere.
