This is some Avengers level bullshit.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 4 weeks ago:
Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over not wanting censorship? Mee too.
- Comment on Google will move Android AOSP development behind closed doors 4 weeks ago:
Google can only do that if they can maintain grip on the market. This requires the likes of Samsung to move with them to their then propiatary solution. Google is not going to win this just with their Pixels.
Google closing android would ruffle a lot of feathers so it definitely wouldn’t be a given they would come out of that on top.
Apple has no problem existing outside of Google’s sphere of influence. And honestly if the android market would split and you’d get legitimately google-less phones with large app stores that google doesn’t control that would be fairly beneficial if you ask me.
- Comment on Google will move Android AOSP development behind closed doors 4 weeks ago:
If google where to close android it’ll undoubtedly be forked. Pretty sure Graphene and Calyx will be fine.
- Comment on Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’ 4 weeks ago:
As much as I’d love to take this as face value, people taking a run with what an AI told them is highly problematic.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
Explain to me me how “someone told you in private” would ever apply to derrick leaking a group chat. What is private about a group chat?
Obviously I’m talking about the guy that forwarded juicy messages someone sent to him personally to his buddies in this leaked group chat.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
I think you think I’m agry with the wrong person.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
My problem was not with Derrick?
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
The abuse of trust is the problem there, not the trust itself…
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
I’ve definitely got some bleak ass humor with some friends in private but forwarding messages people sent you in private to other people and group chats? Really?
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 5 weeks ago:
For me this entirely revolves around why why’s and how’s when it comes to how that affects the ethics of it.
With a defense type scenario I’d likely have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror if I just left and essentially allowed my home to be taken.
If we are the aggressor, then no thanks bye.
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 5 weeks ago:
now i throw my trash out the window.
You don’t believe not using paper towels was a net positive so now you live in a pigsty? I’m not following.

Dare I assume you are aware we have “industry” because we consume?
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 5 weeks ago:
I’m aware of this, but it still mostly just something for people speculate on. Something people buy, sit on, and then hopefully sell with a profit.
Bitcoin was supposed to be a decentralized money alternative, but the amount of people actually buying things with crypto are highly negligible.
And honestly even if was actually used for that the power consumption would still be something to discuss.
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 5 weeks ago:
My biggest gripe with current AI is the same problem I have with anything crypto. It’s out of control power consumption relative to the problem it solves or purpose it serves.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 5 weeks ago:
People are lazy. Getting people to sign up for a forum has a much MUCH higher inertia than just clicking join in a group on a platform they already have an account for. People will subsequently evidently just “deal” with it’s inadequacies. Reddit has the same advantage, you have one account and subsequently have access to a billion and then some communities.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 5 weeks ago:
Well, yeah. That’s life as an admin under the best circumstances. I don’t disagree, but I don’t see the reason in tempting this to happen.
I think it’s interesting you’re not convinced it’s a reasonable risk. I’ve had updates break things on clients under my control on several occasions, particularly post Windows 7 with the bigger feature releases.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 5 weeks ago:
Also IT guy. Hot take indeed. I’ve done this but won’t support this. I will almost guarantee some update will break shit at the most inconvenient time humanly possible and the people you’ve done this for will need your help, all at the same time.
I’m using this opportunity to expand Linux market share.
Most people only use browser. People that ask me about Windows 10 eol get pushed towards Linux.
Only if they need stuff that won’t work on Linux or they really really want Windows to use Chrome or Firefox on for some reason I’ll recommend complying with Microsoft’s hubris.

- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
As surprise to absolutely no-one. Me buying a Samsung panel with tizen on it one of my bigger regrettable purchases in my home theater life.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
So far I’ve had no problems using jellyfin on basicly anything that exists in my house which includes a Apple TV, Xbox SX and a Xiaomi TV Box S.
But I can see there’s probably no Tizen app for things like Samsung TV’s.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
Setting jellyfin up is for the technically inclined, i’ll agree there, but once deployed I don’t really see where Plex fundamentally excels over Jellyfin? You open the app, app shows library, you click on desired media item, desired media item plays. What am i missing?
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 5 weeks ago:
I can’t choose an absolute favorite. But it’s a toss up between the Mass Effect Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher (in partiuclarly 3f th) and (most) oe Fallout games. If you were to put a gun to my head I’d probably pick either Mass Effect or Cyberpunk 2077.

- Comment on Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”. 1 month ago:
That was before Steam Deck and Proton, though, so I should probably test it all again.
The steam deck is exactly what convinced me to give Linux a whirl on my main gaming pc again. Everything that runs on a steam deck should run on any Linux PC. So far zero regrets, performance is on par with what I was seeing on Windows, proton is an absolutely bonkers development.
I do have to end this by saying I don’t do online gaming so I have not had to deal with anti-cheat bullshit that doesn’t want to work on anything that’s not Windows.

Government needs to fully migrate to open source. Instead of re-inventing the wheel contribute to existing projects.

- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
Yeah. People in a manual definately don’t ever do that.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
It doesn’t free up time no but it does make driving ever so slightly less involved.
Controls on a drill have a clear practical purpose, and to my knowledge they don’t make them that do that automatically in a reasonable price range. ;-)

You’ll never catch me doing something that can be automated away, this includes shifting gears in a car.
