All the ones I’ve seen so far are minorities. This is fucking blackface.
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 2 days ago:
False flags aren’t covered as an excuse.
- Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? 2 days ago:
If it’s free, it doesn’t hurt to grab it.
But in general, I don’t like to play through Epic anymore. The Expanse Telltale game was the last straw for me. It was an Epic exclusive for a bit. I mostly play through Steam link on different devices, and adding the Expanse as a non-Steam game would only let you play the first chapter. Nah, I’m out.
- Comment on Samsung is the next company to try to popularize 3D displays (again) 3 days ago:
3D is great for some particular experiences. It’s cool to watch some of the imax movies at home. A handful of the theatrical 3D releases were incredible.
Really though, they need to put more push into the “multi-view” tech that lets people watch a different input depending on their angle. That would also be a feature where it’s reasonable to implement AI, to track a particular viewer’s angle, and adjust the screen to match.
Then enable multiple Bluetooth headphone pairings, and you can have multiple people watching their own thing on the same tv. It would be super useful, but they never really pushed forward with the tech.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 3 days ago:
They need to demand a code review to find out who set up some of these triggers. Especially the zipper sound. Send that creep to prison.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 3 days ago:
Not surprising. Samsung is one of the most openly spying and breaking laws. They’ve also been caught spying on their customers’ tv microphones.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 3 days ago:
They are absolutely listening. This is very easy to test. Speak around a Google or Amazon or Apple device, and start talking about things you would never buy, never need, have never looked up, and is completely irrelevant for your demographic. You’ll get ads anyway.
Listen to the comments to press and congressional testimony very carefully. They always say something like, ‘Facebook is not spying on your microphone.’ They’re always very carefully wording it as the parent company is not listening to your devices. But they absolutely know either one of their subsidiaries or their partners are listening to your microphone, and feeding the data to them.
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 1 week ago:
I’ll load up Spider-man a couple times a month just to go on patrol, and stop random crimes.
Been doing this since Spider-man 2 came out on the original Xbox. Glad the new one came out, and I don’t have to chase that kids damn balloon anymore.

You think Skyrim didn’t live up to the hype?!!
- Comment on Solving renewable energy’s sticky storage problem 2 weeks ago:
Hydrogen, heat sand batteries, gravity batteries, etc. There’s plenty of clean options.
- Comment on Give us your best infodump. 5 weeks ago:
That secret being ‘the oil/sugar/etc lobby paid me to create this fake study to mislead you.’
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 1 month ago:
As in the way you’re accusing me of “making shit up,” just because you’re not aware of decades of lobbying and astroturfing efforts by the fossil fuel industry against nuclear?
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 1 month ago:
I’m not trying to change their mind. I’m trying to expose them.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 1 month ago:
You’re either an astroturfer or useful idiot spreading oil lobby talking points.
Either you believe the climate science or you don’t. If you do, you know that we don’t have time for industry protectionism.
- Comment on YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box 1 month ago:
If you think either of the only two parties allowed to run aren’t both fascists, you’re not paying attention.
- Comment on Academic papers yanked after authors found to have used unlicensed software 1 month ago:
Sounds fair to me!
- Comment on YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box 1 month ago:
The only benefit to attempting to push progressive policies and candidates through the existing system is to illustrate to people on the fence that system cannot be reformed, and it must be destroyed before it will represent us.
- Comment on YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box 1 month ago:
That’s a nice fantasy. But the sooner you accept reality, the sooner you can begin to get to work on actual solutions, instead of playing along with the illusion.

I’ve been calling my representatives nonstop for a year to end their support for the genocide in Palestine. When is this supposed to start working?
- Comment on Academic papers yanked after authors found to have used unlicensed software 1 month ago:
Been waiting for intellectual property reforms for so long, at this point I’d be willing to abandon IP laws entirely. It’s holding the species back.
- Comment on This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X 1 month ago:
That’s nice. But you should get a gun. Much more effective fighting method than deleting an app.
