- Comment on Right to Repair Gains Traction as John Deere Faces Trial 4 hours ago:
The fact that they purposely cripple your equipment with software is ludicrous. It’s even more ridiculous to expect farmers to know IT when they used to be able to fix their equipment with hammers and wrenches. After well over a decade, it’s good to see movement is finally being made to address this absolute b.s. It’s not just John Deere doing this, a lot of the major companies are selling you stuff you don’t truly own. Take your phone for example.
- Comment on Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads 2 days ago:
Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.
That reads like something out of their totalnotrobots subreddit. I TOO LOVE EXPRESSIVE AND AUTHENTIC HUMAN THOUGHTS.
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? 4 days ago:
This is Google’s attempt at staying relevant now that it’s search engine is far from being the best and people are getting their information from TikTok and other sources. Their AI is garbage at even finding factual data. No, this will not cause a “webpocalypse”. There’s already systems in place to send AI’s forcing their way into websites into mazes of infinite useless information to poison them.
At the end of the day, every search engine’s purpose is automating the curating of websites. People can go right back to human curated lists if the worst of the “webpocalypse” happens. People also need to start relearning that the internet existed before Google and social media, and it will exist after.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 6 days ago:
So despite all of the bitching and moaning about all of the “game breaking” features, the shitty little camera, the lack of original games and the price they still bought it. This is why companies keep putting out crap.
- Comment on An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers 1 week ago:
And yet people still keep using Twatter like it’s the only thing that has ever existed since the dawn of the internet. At this point, you deserve to get wrecked for still using this platform.
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 1 week ago:
I forgot the term for this but this is basically the AI blue screening when it keeps repeating the same answer because it can no longer predict the next word from the model it is using. I may have over simplified it. Entertaining nonetheless.
- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 1 week ago:
They will train it so well, it will even collapse like a human when overworked! youtu.be/6Kp5qrCExps . I recognized that bot from the photo.
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 1 week ago:
That’s when you pull Nick Swarsdson’s wrist watch bit. “Hey man I can’t read my watch, can you read my watch?”
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 2 weeks ago:
If you aren’t running a home server with tons of storage, this product is not for you. If the price is right, 40TB to 50TB is a great upgrade path for massive storage capacity without having to either buy a whole new backplane to support more drives or build an entirely new server. I see a lot of comments comparing 4TB SSDS to 40TB HDD’s so had to chime in. Yes, they make massive SSD storage arrays too, but a lot of us don’t have those really deep pockets.
- Comment on Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game' 2 weeks ago:
Yet they still buy shit from Activision!

They should throw in a loony tunes landscape for extra comedic value.
- Comment on Anyone Hiring? 3 weeks ago:
Probably already knows you applied to 30 other families and just making sure you feel shitty about it instead of offering a reason to stay.
- Comment on Silicon Valley cities hit with request for residents' emails to train AI 3 weeks ago:
Should send it an email that links it into an infinite maze of useless information.

- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 4 weeks ago:
I can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn’t that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.

X Æ A-Xii . I could not resist. I apologize.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 4 weeks ago:
You know there’s an Internet 2 right? That’s what I’m talking about when I stated “A new internet” . A real Internet 3 and not “Web 3.0”. Internet 2 is a separate series of tubes, cables, wires, whatever you want to call it dedicated to just research. You know what’s not on Internet 2? Ads or web business models. So I have no idea what you are refuting. Nobody said we needed Web Business to make the cables work. Nobody said the money drying up would make the internet cease to function.

I don’t know where the confusion is. Maybe a typo? I don’t know.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 5 weeks ago:
Did I not make that statement about how we don’t need the webshop business model? You just a tube to connect to the series of tubes. You can pay someone for the tube or make your own damn tube.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 5 weeks ago:
Let me know when you understand how the internet works.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 5 weeks ago:
You’re mixing ISP fees with Ad/monetized content revenue (the “web business model”). One is a shortcut to not having build your own infrastructure and the other is for people we don’t really need for the internet to function.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 5 weeks ago:
This is some good stuff. Thank you!
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 5 weeks ago:
Reminder: the Internet has its roots from ARPANET which is designed to survive an atomic blast and openly available to learn. A dead web business model won’t kill the technology that allows humans to instantly communicate. If anything a new internet may come of this once the money dries up.
