- Comment on If I shut off the internet how many days do you think it would take before people lose their minds? 6 days ago:
From a business/productivity side it would be cataclysmic.
For the private life of people quite the opposite, things would get a lot more sane.
- Comment on ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web 6 days ago:
Honestly: does anyone at this point think to themselves that using an OppenAI browser is a good idea? What does it even provide in terms of benefit over literally any alternative?

- Comment on Unified Theory of American Reality 3 weeks ago:
Now that I think about it, the situation in the US really does play out like an unconscionable large version of Lord of the Flies.

Twelve year olds are more advanced, make it 8.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 4 weeks ago:
Going for plastic when paying instead of using a digital wallet, using the banks’ websites for transactions instead of the app.
- Comment on OpenAI plans to launch an AI-only TikTok clone 4 weeks ago:
Sure, throw more shit at the wall, maybe this will stick. I doubt it, though.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 4 weeks ago:
So it would seem.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 4 weeks ago:
Beats me! I’m in the process of moving banking and payment off my phone in preparation for a Linux one. These things will very likely not work on non-proprietary devices.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 4 weeks ago:
There’s never been a more urgent time to switch to Linux on pretty much every device.

- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 month ago:
All I really wanted was SQ42 back when I supported it on Kickstarter. With my 20 bucks there’s no regret, but it’s quite funny where things have gone since then.
I install the latest alpha once every year and am both amazed and disappointed.
I don’t expect SQ42 to be released before 2030 and I do expect it to be a buggy, unoptimized mess when it finally arrives.
I’ve been thoroughly entertained all those years, though.
- Comment on Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions 1 month ago:
Since I made the switch these kinds of news are hilarious! Yes, make Win 11 into hell! Your customers are your shareholders, users are too be exploited! How long can it last? Who cares, only the next quarter counts!

They built it with PHP? Oof.

This is what industry professionals call a “whoopsie”.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 Official Reveal Trailer 2 months 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 2 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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? 3 months 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 3 months 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.
