- Comment on The Way Ubuntu Boots on Raspberry Pi is Changing 18 hours ago:
These kind of changes will go a long way towards making it more accessible for the less technically inclined. Glad to see some actual progress in that direction, instead of the standard ‘got good’ style of Linux gatekeeping.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 day ago:
Maybe “easy” for an individual to switch. Quite another thing to shift an entire culture and society to vegetarianism. And completely unrealistic for the short term.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 day ago:
While ‘convert everyone to vegetarians’ may be a desirable resolution for you, it’s not realistic. And certainly not achievable in the timeframe needed to reduce climate change impacts.
Not saying those efforts can’t be done in parallel, but subsidizing vat grown meat is necessary as well.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 day ago:
Yeah, those options are available. And people largely don’t want them.
- Comment on Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Guarantee Military Right to Repair Its Equipment 2 days ago:
Liberals will fight for the rights of the military, while the military is being used on domestic soil to actively oppress our rights. Predictable as ever.

Oh well. Shouldn’t have made home ownership impossible for the next generation.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 days ago:
We need significant subsidies invested into vat grown meat. But now Big Ag is getting it banned in every state it can. Texas and Florida have already banned it.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
Haha. Sure. Humans never make up bullshit to sell a fake answer.
Fucking ridiculous.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
No one’s claiming these are AGI. Again, you keep having to deflect to irrelevant arguments.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
Again, you only say it’s a moving target to dispel anything favorable towards AI. Then you do a complete 180 when it’s negative reporting on AI. Makes your argument meaningless, if you can’t even stick to your own point.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
Except you yourself just stated that it was impossible to measure performance of these things. When it’s favorable to AI, you claim it can’t be measured. When it’s unfavorable for AI, you claim of course it’s measurable. Your argument is so flimsy and your understanding so limited that you can’t even stick to a single idea. You’re all over the place.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
Agreed. 70% is astoundingly high for today’s models. Something stinks.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
So you’re saying the article’s measurements about AI agents being 70% of the time is made up?
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
I’m not sure the anti-AI marketing stance is any more solid of a position. Though it’s probably easier to defend, since it’s so vague and not based on anything measurable.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 days ago:
This is the same kind of short-sighted dismissal I see a lot in the religion vs science argument. When they hinge their pro-religion stance on the things science can’t explain, they’re defending an ever diminishing territory as science grows to explain more things.
All of the anti-AI positions, that hinge on the low quality or reliability of the output, are defending an increasingly diminished stance as the AI’s are further refined. And I simply don’t believe that the majority of the people making this argument actually care about the quality of the output. Even when it gets to the point of producing better output than humans across the board, these folks are still going to oppose it regardless. Why not just openly oppose it in general, instead of pinning your position to an argument that grows increasingly irrelevant by the day?
DeepSeek exposed the same issue with the anti-AI people dedicated to the environmental argument. We were shown proof that there’s significant progress in the development of efficient models, and it still didn’t change any of their minds.
The more baseless these anti-AI stances get, the more it seems to me that it’s a lot of people afraid of change and afraid of the fundamental economic shifts this will require, but they’re embarrassed or unable to articulate that stance.

This could go a long way towards fighting online censorship. Pretty awesome.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 week ago:
They work well enough to get by, but definitely lack the responsiveness and modern feel of Windows rdp. Which makes sense, given the Linux solutions are essentially sending screen caps vs rdp’s protocols.
It feels like using a raspberry pi as your workstation. Technically it can do it, but it’s not a great experience.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 week ago:
The end goal of all of that is to sell software. If they can do that without supporting a massive pipeline for selling custom hardware, that makes sense.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 week ago:
I’ve used them all. They all suck.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 week ago:
I used NoMachine for the better part of a year, and I’d agree it’s the best of the options. It still sucks.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 week ago:
Why should they be focused on it? Xbox is now just a slimmed down Windows pc. You can play the exact same games on a pc, with access to the same storefront.
What’s the problem exactly?

I just wish Linux remote desktop support wasn’t absolute dogshit.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games! 2 weeks ago:
Damn dude. The AAA games are still expensive, but I don’t think I’ve seen these kinds sales for indy/niche games in years.
Probably not a great economic indicator though.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 2 weeks ago:
You’re repeating Israeli lies. So you’re either surreptitiously supporting Israel, or you’re serving as a useful idiot.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 2 weeks ago:
While there are religious extremists in Iran, their level of influence on Iranian culture is not anywhere near what you’re saying. You’re just repeating western propaganda.
They did have a controversial new dress code law that was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year, but it was blocked for being to extreme and vague.
However, my state just forced a brain dead woman to incubate a baby against the family’s will. So I’m inclined to agree with those saying the religious extremists exercise greater control in the US than Iran, and by your standards that means they should bomb us. Because I guess you think killing people is equal to freeing them.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 2 weeks ago:
What did Iran do? Seems like all the shitty is on one side.
- Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository 2 weeks ago:
I get exactly the point you’re trying to make. You see the cruelty as excusable, as long as they do the proper paperwork. It’s the lack of respect for process that offends you. Not the thousands of lives ruined.
You just have such a fucked moral compass that you see this position as logical and in line with your worldview.
- Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository 2 weeks ago:
Ahh. So Biden only attacked the right class of subhumans. There’s the classic neoliberalism.
- Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository 3 weeks ago:
The point is you’re not considering the actual, literal scale. You’re judging by how it feels.
Biden deported 250% more people than Trump’s first term. Stephen Miller recently went out a shouting rant at ICE heads for barely keeping pace with Biden’s numbers.
So no, you don’t care about the actual scale. You care about the scale of how intensely the media reporting makes you feel about it. Which is why you don’t care when it’s a Democrat.
