Reddit Refugee because Steve Huffman got Musk-pilled. Opinions are my own and boy do I have some.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 1 hour ago:
Oh, look…
Yet another reason that my next phone(s) will not be Samsung…
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕
- Comment on It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0 5 days ago:
high school edgelord bullshit to it.
😂 🤣 Bye.
- Comment on Musk's Neuralink raises fresh cash at $9 billion valuation, Semafor reports 6 days ago:
is the nazi muskrat spouting bullshit again?
While it’s most assuredly bullshit that he’s spouting, anyone that would accept such a procedure/device from the maker of the Swastikar and destroyer of SpaceX rockets deserves whatever outcome befalls them.
🤡 🤦♀️ 🖕 💩
- Comment on It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0 6 days ago:
Oh,
It’s not just advertising (and its commensurate tracking paradigm)…
Data mining for profit, SEO for profit, and pervasive Counterfeit Cognizance are all playing their part in ruining the Internet experience.
Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕
- Comment on Silicon Valley cities hit with request for residents' emails to train AI 1 week ago:
Well, that certainly won’t put a dent in folks willingness to send future Emails to their city gov’ts, now will it??
Fucking lunatic Counterfeit Cognizance Pushers… Fuck them all… 🤡 🙄 🖕 🖕
- Comment on The people who think AI might become conscious 1 week ago:
It is anything but smart.
+1…
And, a personal note, I prefer the (to me, much more descriptive) term “Counterfeit Cognizance”. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Unlock Your Computer With a Molecular Password 2 weeks ago:
Lose your molecule and your fucked… 😂
- Comment on U.S.-Sanctioned Terrorists Enjoy Premium Boost on X 2 weeks ago:
These are among the U.S.-sanctioned terrorists who appear to have paid, premium accounts on Elon Musk’s X, a new Tech Transparency Project investigation has found, raising questions about the platform’s dealings with individuals who have been deemed a threat to U.S. national security.
What? Elonazi Muskovite is failing to “properly” vet entities paying him for accounts?
Who’da thunk it? 🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 weeks ago:
😂 🤣
Similarly, my Dad ran his medical office on Win98 until he died (2011).
Of course, he had no support for OS or the medical office software other than himself (and me).
Had a supplier of inexpensive old machines/parts.
All cause he refused to pay the $5k required to upgrade the medical office software that ran on those machines. 🤷♂️

- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 2 weeks ago:
No, no, Fuck You, no!!
I will have no phone that employs “Counterfeit Conciousness” to listen to every fucking word of every fucking conversation leading to (among others):
- Further training
- Data retention somewhere (waiting to be hacked)
- Possible reports to LEO (or worse)
- …whatever else I can’t think of just now…
Fuck right off with this.
This solidifies for me I will never own a Pixel phone.
And, if this becomes ubiquitous in Android, I’ll have to rethink that, too.
Doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.
Fuck Google entirely. Don’t be Evil my ass.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
- Comment on Elon has programmed GROK to respond to AI queries with propaganda about white genocide in south Africa 2 weeks ago:
sorry dave I can’t do that.
Oh, it’ll be worse than just that…
You’ll get along the lines of: “All these fellas are phenomenal over the top geniuses and you just can’t fathom the wonderfulness of them cause you’re just a plebian nobody that hasn’t the intelligence to grasp what these wonderful awesome saviours of mankind have in their plan for you and all your descendants cause these fellas are the only ones that can save everything and do what’s right cause they have all the money and are therefore proven to be the ones that are awesome intelligent and know better”…

- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 weeks ago:
I’m all for services making a reasonable profit and being able to fund new shows and such endeavors…
But we’re rapidly getting into an environment of “soaking viewers for all we can get out of them” simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ 🖕

A rudimentary quick search will provide a good bit of the “AI benefits at work” documentation for which you seek. 🤷♂️

- Comment on Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years 3 weeks ago:
At his current 69yrs age, he could get all the busy he wants for his remaining life and still fail to reach the 99% goal. 🙄 🤦♀️ 🤡
- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 3 weeks ago:
costs to maintain software and add features…
…and shareholders to please…
Arguably the bigger cost sink.
- Comment on Anthropic launches Claude web search API, betting on the future of post-Google information access 3 weeks ago:
As a company that was forced to realize their profit model was <advertising and data> and <advertising and data> alone…
It was simply inevitable that “Don’t be Evil” become “Evil R Us”.

The problems came when I started messing with things
🤷♂️
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
Certainly possible though not so versed in Pihole capabilities that I can imagine how that happens…
My DHCP is handled by an EdgerouterX…
My Pihole is limited to DNS only.
- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 4 weeks ago:
Money will never buy love and peace.
True enough.
But, in the broken psyches of the ones you’ve mentioned, it buys perfectly serviceable alternatives which they can convince themselves actually does make them happy.
They are so broken that broken solutions actually work for them…
🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕

- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
If that’s what you’re happy with and works for you, continue.
Personally, I’m creating an environment in which I’m not dependent on any cloud provider on the front end.
I do have a cloud backup solution for all my data files on the off chance I lose every single on-site backup and closely-held remote backups (read: not in main building but still on property…).
Just trying to get away from reliance on the existence of someone else’s computer/datacenter…
🤷♂️
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
Interesting…
I’ve a single Pihole instance running on a RPi 4 and have experienced not a single instance of any of the 3 probs you mention. Except, of course, the very few minutes it takes for a reboot which I can schedule and am aware when it’s happening…
