- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 3 hours ago:
How is showing me ads for things I will make a point not to buy because I implicitly hate the products of people showing me ads more profitable than the twenty fucking bucks a month I already give them?
Imagine if all that misallocated marketing budget got used to develop better products instead.

Haha, no you can’t.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 5 days ago:
I’ve seen project managment in industrial fields, and now that you put it this way I can totally see it.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 6 days ago:
But then, why do they keep canceling them before release? They don’t know if they’d have been hits or failures.

I have an nvidia GPU and it worked out of the box.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
“Inflation decreases” means “the prices are being raised slower”.
What you are looking for, prices going down, is “deflation”. Governments generally do their best to avoid that, because people would start holding off on purchases expecting lower prices next week, month, quarter,… and it would tank the economy.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 2 weeks ago:
Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat
What? No! If anything they should make new original FF games with decent turn based combat again! X was the last good one, it’s time.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 2 weeks ago:
Of course. You’d just never see this and go “oh, that’s so unique and has a variety of hardware and software requirements”. That’s what I was getting at.

- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 2 weeks ago:
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows
I think that’s exactly what Microsoft is aiming to do in the future.

I’m going to take a look at that.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 5 weeks ago:
If I’m devoted to winning, that means I want to win myself. If I don’t profit from the company’s success outside of being allowed to keep my job, increasing the company’s bottom line isn’t a “win” for me. That’s not a matter of perspective.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 5 weeks ago:
“The company” i.e. somebody else’s money.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 5 weeks ago:
Achieving a healthy work-life-balance IS winning. That’s what the mindless drones don’t get.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks ago:
I am hoping that the upcoming SteamOS Desktop would make Linux friendly enough for games that aren’t native to Steam, such as my GOG collection
You can just add those to steam or use a launcher like heroic.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 5 weeks ago:
The “loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don’t want it to grow” thing.

Biometrics are not more secure than a good password.

You also would not have access to your password manager when logging into your OS, would you?

- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 month ago:
Baldur’s Gate 2. There’s no game I’ve played through more often. BG3 is a very fun successor, but Larian’s writing can’t hold a candle to classic Bioware.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 2 months ago:
Not even the lemmy instance you’re on needs a license to your content, and it is stored there and displayed for the world to see. Why is that? Because storing and displaying your posts is the very thing you want it to do. That is the service it is providing for you, and you declare that you want it to do that by clicking “send”. They would need a license if they wanted to do anything else with your stuff, which doesn’t directly have to do with displaying your posts in the fediverse.
The browser is supposed to take my requests and inputs, carry them to the server that I’m talking to and bring back the answer. The mail doesn’t need a license to my letters. That only changes if they want to open them and do something I originally had not intended.
But you know who claims a license to your content? Meta. Because you’re the product there, not the costumer.
And let’s remember that the last thing Mozilla got heat for was the introduction of a method to anonymize bulk user data for sharing & selling purposes,
as opposedin addition to the granular, extremely invasive tracking that 99% of websites are doing these days.Ftfy. It’s never going to replace more invasive tracking and just constitutes yet another party collecting my data.
I see a company that needs to make a decent amount of money
Mozilla already makes Enougn money from passive Investment income. They don’t need to make any money from Firefox at all (but they do, it’s from google). They also don’t need to pay their CEO 6 Million a year.

It’s called inflation.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 2 months ago:
Then how about putting that in the language? “We don’t sell your data, except if you’re in California, because they consider x, y and z things we might actually do as selling data.”
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 2 months ago:
The browser manufacturer doesn’t need a license to my inputs to process them and give them to the server it’s supposed to give them to. If you type a text in Libre office, does it ask you for a license to the text in order to save it?
