- Comment on ‘Forbidden Words’: Github Reveals How Software Engineers Are Purging Federal Databases 19 hours ago:
This is why it’s essential, now more than ever, to keep these words and notions alive, let the truth be an act of rebellion in itself.
Life is meaningless without diversity, and it is up to each and every one of us to protect it.
- Comment on Focus: DeepSeek gives Europe's tech firms a chance to catch up in global AI race 2 days ago:
Or… maybe we could not do that? Just saying? And instead focus on actually studying true AI and its implications at every level instead of just developing propaganda machines with the consumers’ money?

Ok, so life’s becoming one of those Sharknado movies. Noted.
- Comment on Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water. 3 days ago:
This would imply that they’re not surrounded by other pots filled with water which is (varying degrees of) boiling. We don’t really have a Socialist Utopia meeting spot, let’s say.
Beyond that, eloping requires a not insignificant amount of money (as a Romanian, I can say that homes/apartments aren’t cheap here, either, and we’re not exactly L.A.)
And at the other end of the line, immigration’s not exactly thought of with fondness, even in Europe. Don’t forget, we’re stewing in our own pot even if the heat’s still relatively tolerable.

If it doesn’t contain a Windows Activation message with a link which leads to a kernel panic, I’m not interested…

Oh, no! The Big Corporation’s proprietary LLMs are plugging the Big Corporation’s other products as official sources?! Who could have possibly seen this coming!
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 2 months ago:
Actually serves pretty well if one’s goal were to further destabilise things. People have already been convinced that illegal immigrants are to blame for all economic problems (even though it is easier to prove the extreme opposite through a cursory search on the internet), maybe the point was to get them to the next level, get them angry at something else after everything is done with the false problem.
I just don’t see Trump actually wanting what’s his version of “best” for the country. I think he’s on a power play, and the country’s just the kindling.
Maybe I’m talking complete nonsense, but this feels like a… logical escalation. To what, I cannot fathom, although we’ve seen similar movements preclude Totalitarian/Authoritarian regime solidification periods before, where the desperate masses clung to the wrong solution.

I just love how this has become the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted on the internet =))
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
Nope, ‘that Trump.’ That Trump still exists, that he is president again, that he’s doing what he’s doing, or everything at once, so I just remember that Trump. To me, that’s enough.
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin’ scary as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

Honestly, considering how much of a clown Alex Jones was, they have their work cut out for them if they want to compete at comedic levels!
Either way, this may be the best news I’ve heard all year, thank you!

Yepyep, did the same on mine, I just zoomed the page out.
Honestly, really hope they did this on purpose, although I’ve seen plenty of cases where someone forgot to scale the text to Mobile and it went careening off-screen.

- Comment on Your politics can affect whether you click on sponsored search results, new research shows. 3 months ago:
Exactly, this seems a bit flimsy as far as links go… I mean, a better explanation would be the tendency of more inquisitive people to stay informed about pretty much everything, which will inevitably lead to a higher incidence of avoiding ad links. I’d also posit inquisitiveness is a “gateway” for Left-leaning views for the same reason - inquisitive people want to understand and make informed decisions. So, yeah, correlation without direct causation, which also applies to my example. But it just goes to show how easy it is to fall in these traps.

I stand corrected!
- Comment on Samsung Galaxy Ring is non-repairable - GSMArena.com news 5 months ago:
In this point we disagree, and this being the internet, I feel the need to specify that I’m not being combative, nor mean any disrespect toward your preferences or beliefs.
In my opinion, we’re at the point where we have other, bigger things to prioritise over creature comforts.
- Comment on Samsung Galaxy Ring is non-repairable - GSMArena.com news 5 months ago:
I honestly don’t see the fitness tech in itself as useless, it holds clear benefits for us. I’m just not one to encourage creating increasingly wasteful and predatory iterations of said tech.
- Comment on Samsung Galaxy Ring is non-repairable - GSMArena.com news 5 months ago:
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I’m not opposed to wearables, but we’re just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band at this point.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech’s application. I’d say we shouldn’t even produce something we couldn’t then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
