- Comment on Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users 4 hours ago:
68 million is probably a rounding error in their yearly lawyer budget alone.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 5 hours ago:
We aren’t. Most of us aren’t anyway.
- Comment on Tacos for dinner 7 hours ago:
Doritos and shredded pepper jack aren’t half bad with some good hot salsa.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 8 hours ago:
They also have to justify how keeping at least 3-5% of people unemployed is a good thing for their economy god. That one and that inflation and growth are required to keep an economy going when we all know that there could be sustainable level existence if the investor class didn’t exist.

I want to touch that fast spinning thing…
- Comment on Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News 5 days ago:
Patreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.

Break the chain of abuse, but careful, something important might be plugged into the other end.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 6 days ago:
Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 20,000km I guess.
Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?

It was supposed to say “death and” autocorrect had other ideas I guess.

Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks.
- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 1 week ago:
They think AGI will be able to make better solutions from their dumb ideas. They think it’ll be a magic bullet to what? Another notch on the billionaire list. The end goal in itself is sick to begin with for most of them, or else they’d be running non profits to help the world.
- Comment on Fake moo 1 week ago:
More its smell than its flavor. Though about half of us are pretty salty about the situation.
- Comment on ICE arrested a Navajo man and dismissed all the proof he presented of his identity, claiming he faked it and that they'd "get his family next". 1 week ago:
The us is too big and they’re afraid of resistance. If they spread out to all states at once, we could stop most of it by outnumbering them in most places.
Also they’re focusing on Blue cities to try and provoke protests for their propaganda and plans for marshal law.
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 1 week ago:
They’re arresting and detaining the actual native Americans too. Because they really want a Christo-fascist white state, not a native one.
That’s why they want to import the racists from South Africa.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 1 week ago:
Lots of empty apartments are in luxury buildings right in the best parts of big cities.
Fully furnished too, just empty tax shelters to be traded back and forth by billionaires and their kids when they need cash.
We need to convince the desk staff and security in this buildings to help people squat in them indefinitely.
- Comment on /c/fuckai in shambles rn 1 week ago:
Data was also trying to learn. And was able to admit when it was wrong.
- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 1 week ago:
They already did this to people with Real ID drivers licenses, which have the same requirements to acquire as a passport.
- Comment on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid 1 week ago:
The OMB was really behind the firings, and Russell Vought is still there and still in charge.
And he’s a Christo-fascists from childhood.
- Comment on Huh? 1 week ago:
Every minute they save by walking over to your desk for a quick question is lost 10x over by the constant distraction of an open office plan.

What, pray tell, is satanic about permanent googly eyes?
- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 2 weeks ago:
Thank you, I never had time to read up on its history when I was busy smashing out sites on stupid deadlines with constant last minute changes and morons for project managers.
- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that the point of Postgresql. It’s basically an open source version of MySQL.
I’m sure there are some proprietary nonsense that MySQL has, but I’ve never needed it in 17 years
- Comment on Lemmy: Beans 2 weeks ago:
Yup, worked in advertising. No longer work in advertising. Life much better. Just quite a bit poorer.
- Comment on 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells 2 weeks ago:
I went with the middle dish washer and it has tuned out to be a series of planned obsolescence repairs. I’m handy enough to do them all, but I know it’s just a matter of time.
We’re on year six (it had a 5 year warranty). I’m determined to make it last until 10 at least.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but the decent thing is that they show you how long before you can skip. So you know how long you have.

I have an older MacBook with standard hdmi, but there are some creators I really like on YouTube and we have an ancient Roku stick that still works. The remote is convenient and I usually go pee during the ads.
