He is on the way of becoming the Trofim Lysenko of our time. The results of his work will be… interesting.
- Comment on Brave blocks Microsoft Recall by default 5 weeks ago:
You know what also blocks Recall reliably? Not using Windows.
- Comment on Don't worry it builds character 5 weeks ago:
Except the ride doesn’t stop under any circumstances, ever.
- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 5 weeks ago:
Thank God we have the GDPR in Europe.
- Comment on StarLink reportedly down world wide 5 weeks ago:
This is what industry professionals call a “whoopsie”.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 Official Reveal Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Even in the pretty generic realm of military fps trailers, this one lacked the tiniest ambition of standing out. It almost dips into the realm of satire in it’s choice of themes and presentation which are all so obviously just lame rehashes of things we’ve all seen dozens of times before.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 Official Reveal Trailer 5 weeks ago:
This looks so generic I almost fell asleep. This franchise is on its last legs.
- Comment on Campaign asking EU to stop publishers "destroying" online games hit by anonymous transparency complaint 5 weeks ago:
At least we know how serious the industry is taking this now. And they still haven’t heard about the Streisand effect.

Start a family.
- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 1 month ago:
Is this real? Because it sounds like some low effort satire about blindly trusting LLMs and the totally expected outcomes. Surely no one can be this naive.
- Comment on Why doesn't Trump destroy or modify the Epstein files? 1 month ago:
If they tried to alter or destroy the files there is a good chance it would be found out, which would escalate the situation to a whole different level.
- Comment on tchncs.de is powered by donations 1 month ago:
I am sometimes considering launching a proper commercial instance, where membership requires a monthly fee. For me, having a well maintained instance is easily worth a few euros per month and it would be an interesting experiment. But I’d much rather have enthusiasts like Milan do their thing and be able to get by.
Consider this: do you want to go back to ad-financed corporate social media? Because that’s what you’ll get when you want your services “for free”. Enthusiasm scales only so far.

I’ve already given up on FPV freestyle as a hobby, since it’s getting ever heavier regulated and the authorities have very little understanding or tolerance when it comes to bending the rules. It was fun while it lasted.

- Comment on Romero Games reportedly met with Microsoft just a day before the publisher pulled funding for the studio, and there was 'no mention' of the decision that put over 100 people out of work 1 month ago:
They took a huge bet on consolidation and it didn’t really pay off. Now they’re writing it off.
- Comment on Game Pass will "either kill everyone else, or give up", says Dishonored and Prey dev Arkane founder 1 month ago:
I tried GamePass PC until a whole bunch of my favourite games disappeared. So I had to buy them in the end l, which, given steam’s usual deals, was about the same as keeping my subscription. It’s not a great deal for discerning customers and people will notice.

Amen!

I get a feeling MS doesn’t want to be in the game production/publishing space anymore. They see bigger growth opportunities elsewhere. I personally believe that it’s a big mistake and the ai bubble will cost them dearly, but chasing very short term profitability has never hurt an executive.
- Comment on Cancer rates in Australians under 50 are rising at a pace that's alarming doctors and scientists 1 month ago:
Microplastics, Forever-Chemicals, Air-Pollution, Food-Additives, Processed Food etc. and all even before you’re born. Take your pick or better yet, have them all!

Never mind, scarier stuff is being released from day one: fuelarc.com/…/tesla-robotaxi-freaks-out-and-drive…
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 2 months ago:
Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don’t think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Drops Off Passengers in Middle of Intersection… Handpicked Riders Say the “Performance Was Great” 2 months ago:
Watching the video that’s still pretty tame. Not good, but nothing to make the news either. I expect much worse.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Drops Off Passengers in Middle of Intersection… Handpicked Riders Say the “Performance Was Great” 2 months ago:
I wonder how long the facade will hold. They can’t restrict the service to pro-Tesla influencers forever and the safety guys will have to go eventually. How long before weird or dangerous incidents start to happen? Days, weeks? It won’t take months, of that I am certain.
- Comment on OpenAI warns that its upcoming models could pose a higher risk of enabling the creation of biological weapons and says it is stepping up testing of such models 2 months ago:
Do investors still fall for this?
- Comment on Microsoft accidentally swapped Windows 11’s startup sound with Vista’s 2 months ago:
I read through these and it’s 80% AI crap that no one asked for. New features? Recall and copilot trash. Bugs? Problems with Recall and copilot. I’m so glad I switched to Linux some months ago. If Microsoft doesn’t see reason soon, they might just kill windows.

Thanks for all the hard work!
- Comment on The Case for Software Craftsmanship in the Era of Vibes — Zed's Blog 2 months ago:
Most definitely! And in a couple of years we will hear about the lack of developers again. It’s not my first rodeo.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 2 months ago:
As a software engineer who uses AI agents daily, let me tell you: now is as good a time as any to learn to code. LLMs won’t replace any developers.
