Not nearly enough screens.
- Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? 1 week ago:
I’ve tried botw 4 times now. It’s the whole reason I bought a switch. It bores the living fuck out of me every time I play.
I know a lot of people love it, and you might too. But I’ve never been able to play more than 3-4 hours in without being bored off my ass and going to play something else instead.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 1 month ago:
And that just underlines my decision to quit Duolingo when it got contaminated with AI stop.
I can tell you from experience that AI was worse at teaching me a language than humans were.

Because Oracle sucks donkey balls.

Yes.

Never give EA money - they’ll just use it to destroy yet another cherished dev or franchise.

Fascists gonna fash.
- Comment on Intel introduces its newest employee, Chip the robotic inspector, just after announcing mass human layoffs 2 months ago:
Yet another reason to look at non US CPUs going forward. Either RISC-V or ARM put of Europe/Korea.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
This. Only the server owner needs a plexpass.
- Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge 2 months ago:
The AI slop is why I quit Duolingo after my 1500+ day streak.
- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Yup. Same goes for being employed - if they’re publicly traded they’ll almost certainly treat their staff like absolute garbage.
- Comment on U.S. Chipmakers Fear They Are Ceding China’s A.I. Market to Huawei 2 months ago:
The policy damage is easily repairable. The reputation damage is going to take a lot longer. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, and the US has been shedding a LOT of trust recently.
Hell, you couldn’t pay me to cross the border right now. (Literally - my employer offered me a 20% raise to go work in the NY office and I laughed at them.) I don’t want to risk getting a one way trip to El Salvodore because some psycho with a badge doesn’t like the shirt I’m wearing, or whatever fucking excuse they use.

Decades. Lifetimes, even.
The US has shown that it’s not a reliable partner. Sure, the next pres might be sane, but what about the one after that? They’ve shown they’re more than happy to elect a con man and do sfa to keep him in check - they’ve done it twice now, so it’s near 100% that they’ll do it again.The entire USA is in FO stage of FAFO, and now China and Europe will be the players to watch. I mean, other than watching the US flush itself down the toilet to own the Libs, obvs.

People still use Shitter?
- Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek 3 months ago:
Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 3 months ago:
Friends can still stream for free, as long as the server is paying for plex pass. That was my main concern, too, but they make a point of stating it directly in the release.
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 7 months ago:
Ya, I’m not talking about extremists. I’m talking about just normal everyday people.
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 7 months ago:
Eh. Fits with what I see in politics, the folks voting for right winger, and my own experiences conversing with them IRL. I see no issue with making that assumption and then being pleasantly surprised the odd time it isn’t true.
Maybe it’s a North America thing, tho. It’s quite possible that the euro flavor of right wing is a more empathetic group.
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 7 months ago:
I didn’t say they were “all bad.” I said they lacked empathy and I wasn’t interested in being friends with them.
Conservative and progressive brains are different.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust
Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351 In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 7 months ago:
I’m not sure that’s true. One side has empathy. The other does not. I don’t want to be friends with someone who doesn’t have empathy.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 7 months ago:
Yup. Idiots incapable of compromise, so they get nothing.
- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 7 months ago:
IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.
- Comment on Enshrouded's "largest update so far" is out with a new mountain region, pets and single-player pausing 8 months ago:
