- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 1 day ago:
Yeah I use foobar and it works fine, but it still sucks and still affects us that the culture is streaming based. It’s better when your habits aren’t niche and you’re not always fighting against the norm.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 1 day ago:
Before you comment I’m begging you to take the parent comment in the general spirit of digital “ownership” having taken over the culture and not point out that Winamp technically still exists.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 1 day ago:
We gave up Winamp for this.
- Comment on California Assembly speaker and other Democratic state lawmakers ditch X, citing hate speech, disinformation 6 days ago:
It takes principle and courage to enrich the Nazi site for only two and a half years and not a day longer.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 1 week ago:
June 2025 is when manifest v2 is supposed to die for good. I think the issue is that it’s not really possible for Vivaldi or Microsoft or whoever to keep the code in there long term even if they wanted to.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 1 week ago:
Isn’t every chromium browser going to lose manifest v2 eventually, causing the real ublock origin to stop working?

I’m saying when I saved this image, I saw the context surrounding these. This was meant at face value.

If she can’t figure out how to find and watch something straight up there’s no way she’s figuring out usenet.
- Comment on What the bluechecks lack in basic life skills they make up for with patience and persistence 1 week ago:
Sadly no, just another right wing bluecheck dick-riding grok.
- Comment on What the bluechecks lack in basic life skills they make up for with patience and persistence 1 week ago:
I have, yeah. From the context around these tweets she hadn’t seen it and was curious about watching it.
- Comment on What the bluechecks lack in basic life skills they make up for with patience and persistence 1 week ago:

- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 2 weeks ago:
Why would they check for piracy when it’s not them you’re pirating from and stopping piracy would remove the most popular use case of their product?

No you don’t. I’ve shared with people and I’ve never had a pass.
- Comment on Which game is it? 2 weeks ago:
No shade or anything but how does that work in a single player pretty linear game, what’s the draw after you finish it a few times?
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 2 weeks ago:
This was shitty, but the giants are worse than the smaller companies. Roku works fine and ad-free if you block the ad/tracking domains. Try separating the ads/tracking from the stuff you need on a Google device.
- Comment on How can we stop bots from dominating lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
The bots that flood the site every link they see with no quality control are annoying as shit. And if you block them then you won’t see the minority of decent links that are in there.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared” 1 month ago:
Yes, I demonstrated that technological progress allows us to live our lives memorizing fewer words since they can be looked up so easily. But I wrote a substantive and original argument. Did you? Will it be even harder for you after ten years of letting machines do your writing and thinking for you?
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared” 1 month ago:
People don’t do everyday fucking math at the grocery store like they should because they don’t have the wherewithal to pull out the calculator for all the everyday things. People fucking can use a calculator to do math, but they choose not to unless they’re forced to. So the math just doesn’t get done. Now imagine what will happen a generation down the road when it’s not math that people have given up practicing, but general fucking thinking.
