- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 1 week ago:
I remember suse and Debian where ahead of the curve back then. Package managers really changed the game when they started showing up around then. I will admit I’m probably a little too cynical. But I had to run windows through college for various software, and until recently playing most games on Linux was quite the challenge. Steam has truly cracked the code. So I’m dipping my toes back into Linux for daily use. I’ve been running my truenas server for a few years now and run several Linux VM’s so I’m not starting from scratch.

Pretty sure this guy didn’t use Linux twenty years ago. Outside of very basic computing, Linux wasn’t very useful.

- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 1 week ago:
I had an issue with some equipment from ATT, it took about 6 different try’s before I finally found a human capable enough to help resolve my issue, which involved replacing the equipment.
This future sounds so much worse to fix a complicated issue.

- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
I always think about the Time Machine and the Eloi people. I really think that is the world we are headed towards. Basically creating a class of cattle brained people, and a class of super humans.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
It’s all based off of predictions, it has no concept of the physical world or the ability to understand facts. Its goal is to please the user, not parse the entirety of human knowledge and provide an insightful complete thought.
- Comment on Windows 95 chime composer Brian Eno denounces Microsoft for its ties to Israeli government 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Fediverse.com is available for sale 4 weeks ago:
Isn’t that somewhat the point of the federated system? Prevent censorship? Enable various points of view to have a platform? It’s somewhat up to the moderators of the groups and the community as a whole to determine what information is allowed on their local platforms.
On the internet, almost without fail, a few bad apples exist. And sometimes the bad apples really yell the loudest.
But not having an algorithm amplifying the bad apples is about the best we can hope for now.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 4 weeks ago:
Humans are always looking for a god in a machine, or a bush, in a cave, in the sky, in a tree… the ability to rationalize and see through difficult to explain situations has never been a human strong point.

- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 5 weeks ago:
There are a few other PDF editors that are cheaper, but they don’t have the same features. PDF seems like something that has outlived its purpose. There has to be other document formats that provide a similar or better experience and prevents alteration.

I’m sure most corporations have agreements that prevent M$ from using this. Or M$ has to host all of its data gathering on azure government.

- Comment on ‘Profiting from misery’: how TikTok makes money from child begging livestreams 1 month ago:
I remember walking around Berlin and a Gypsy lady was in one of the tourist areas with a small child. I was stopped in the area for about 15 minutes and I was watching the lady. She would pinch or coax the small child to cry or tear up while walking around asking for money. Saying things like she needs a doctor and the like. Disgusting.
