I am a huge asocial nerd that lives in a hovel surrounded by vintage computers.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 20 hours ago:
I saw a 16:9 CRT in the trash a few years ago, it had just started to rain, the time it took to arrange secure transport it was soaked, so I passed. I didn’t feel like I could deal with the size and weight of the thing if I had to repair it as well.
But they do show up now and then.

I’m as atheistic as they come but I’ll maybe ask a demiurge for that to happen.

The sheer amount of AI slop shorts on YouTube must be generating entire dollars in revenue by now. Who isn’t entertained and eagerly awaiting the next five million videos of the same scenario over and over again?

If you have a better way of generating videos of absurdly obese Olympic divers doing the bomb from a crane, I’d love to hear it.

Way ahead of you Luddites

Goodness, how am I supposed to store and stream more entertainment than I could watch in a lifetime now?

Let’s spell like one first. What a ditz (if this is real.)

Boreball?
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 week ago:
Computers are too powerful and too cheap. Bring back COBOL, painfully expensive CPU time, and some sort of basic knowledge of what’s actually going on.
Pain for everyone!

heh heh hheeeh hehe heh ho ho ho hee hee hee! That’s pretty much how I react to my own stupid jokes, I can’t believe how dumb they are too!

But the stories of Russians under my bed stealing my washing machine’s CPU are totally real.

How about “pauseball”? I’ve rarely seen a more boring “spectacle” than a bunch of roided men in tights smash into each other for 3 seconds then watching fat middle-aged men with oversize headsets chew gum for 10 minutes after.

- Comment on ‘End-to-end encrypted’ smart toilet camera is not actually end-to-end encrypted 1 week ago:
My toilet picked a fine time to update the flapper valve driver, I’ve got a surprise swirl with a peak above the water and a blood clot on top that really needs to go before company shows up.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Did you just make up “hate” from an imaginary argument you made up? I am simply baffled by the behavior and “needs” of people these days. In what universe is limiting “remote streaming” a problem? How many hours a day do you need to be entertained for?
It’s more like I’m surrounded by compulsive hoarders and chronic upgraders, for what? You can’t watch any more movies than you have conscious free hours in a day. I don’t get it anymore.
Computers used to solve problems, now they are the problem.

I thought you were going to say “by wearing a kilt”.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
Or… we could learn to code software so the average mouse driver doesn’t require a gig of free RAM, 10 gigs of swap space, and 15 CPU cores?
Just a thought.

So how am I supposed to get pictures of absurdly obese gaily dancing IT nerds in kilts now!?

Leave it to whatever your condition is to think that my reply was literally claiming that the meme was literally claiming there’s a hell.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 week ago:
Well, tomorrow morning, commuting hell will be sitting next to me. I don’t know what those samosas had in them but I sound like a WWII machine gun nest and smell like aisle 3 at the spice store.

The first elephant’s expression is like “I know it’s in there you asshole, I saw you sit on the watermelon”
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 week ago:
I don’t think anyone with an engineering degree would believe there’s a hell. Neither should you.
