I really didn’t appreciate how bad it was, until I witnessed my wife being subjected to this shit.
One time I was playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew with a couple randos. We’d been playing for at least half an hour, and they seemed like nice guys. My wife had just finished watching all of TNG, and she excitedly asked if she could try playing for a round.
The moment my wife’s voice hit the mic, these two neckbeards turned into complete pieces of shit, and started right in on harassing her and talking down. I watched her face sink. She took off the vr headset, and hasn’t touched it since. I don’t think she’s even watched Star Trek since, it was such a sour experience.
And these were the stereotypical ‘I struggle with women’ type of neckbeards. No shit. Maybe if you didn’t treat them as subhuman, one of them might speak to you.

Sounds like you guys have some serious trust issues. If sharing your location with each other devolves that quickly, it ain’t the tech making problems.

There’s a link in the post. Can this bot not follow links?
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone calls the guardian propaganda, outside of those advocating for very narrow pro-imperialist neoliberalism. So yeah, those opposing neoliberalism from both the left and right will obviously point out their agenda and inaccurate reporting.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
You say without a speck of irony, as you post a well-known propaganda rag.

- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
No one does anything, because it’s not actually that bad. Most of the quality of life issues are due to western imposed sanctions, and not the authoritarian leadership.
You’re sensing the cognitive dissonance between western propaganda vs western actions. Keep going in that direction. You’re close to getting it. Most of what you’ve been told about North Korea is made up bullshit.

Only problem is the residue buildup. I think the smoke is a type of glycerine. It builds up on surfaces.
- Comment on The Way Ubuntu Boots on Raspberry Pi is Changing 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, those options are available. And people largely don’t want them.

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.

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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago:
Agreed. 70% is astoundingly high for today’s models. Something stinks.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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.

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.

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.
