- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 hour ago:
Hold on a second. For it to be enshittified, it has to be good at the beginning, and I highly doubt that’s possible.
- Comment on I'm jealous 1 hour ago:
Yeah but I’ll never feel as good as those vegetables.
- Comment on Poop Drones Are Keeping Sewers Running So Humans Don't Have to 1 day ago:
Honestly I though somebody was using drones to throw shit at people below.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 1 day ago:
Notice that it hasn’t amongst mainstream consumers.
What? A niche technical hobby isn’t popular among mainstream consumers? Mainstream consumers don’t know words “Plex” and “Home Assistant” either. There are already products that target these people. And there are products targeted at technical people. We need diversity.
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 1 day ago:
It’s like the same but with background color that has rounded corners.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 3 days ago:
Not so long ago people would go weeks without washing their bodies, let alone in prehistoric times.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 5 days ago:
can they even patent that?
What “that”? They can patent a specific technical solution that is unique to their product, not the idea per se.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 1 week ago:
To be fair, by the time you graduate from college, you’ve already been raised.
- Comment on Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon? 1 week ago:
Why would I want to track his jet though?

Pear to pear communication.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Don’t some try to locate public access points nearby? Or is it just an internet myth?
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Here, take it:

How much?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Yeah, any business would have to either accept this request or leave the market. Jack Dorsey has no relation to that.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
But they can use some other instance. With centralized platforms the issue is that they want to do business everywhere. Russia threatened to arrest Google employees in Moscow, for instance. Even without such threats, they want to have access to local markets. That isn’t a concern for some instance in Ireland that is supported by donations.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
What costs money is testing phases, including a lab to hold and propogate immortal cell lines and later production lines to create enough doses for thousands of human trials.
Thank you. These arguments are always hard to read. Sure, small labs are where it usually starts, but without enormous and risky investments, we would never have the drugs we have today. Most of these investments fail miserably, so one successful drug must cover the costs of ten unsuccessful ones. Nobody would do that if their IP weren’t protected. It’s more about reputation than facts when it comes to this topic.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 weeks ago:
Sure. It’s better to develop this habit and use them automatically, without thinking. Sometimes there are no cars around, but pedestrians want to know your intentions too. And even if you don’t see anyone, it doesn’t mean there’s nobody around.
- Comment on Do it 2 weeks ago:
No surprises in my ass. I guess that’s true.
- Comment on Interesting logic 2 weeks ago:
Fucking Englishmen in New York.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
Because people choose the easiest question to answer. You can’t change people, but you can change how you communicate.
- Comment on But that is just a theory 2 weeks ago:
Eastern wisdom! Always on point.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 3 weeks ago:
How is that different from any other computer buying from steam
To begin with, Nintendo Switch isn’t “any other computer” where you can “buy from Steam”, so this question seems irrelevant to this discussion.
- Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible 3 weeks ago:
A president doesn’t need to be awesome, he or she needs to be competent.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
From the article:
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to compile information gathered through mass surveillance, which it transcribes and translates, including phone calls, texts and audio messages, according to an Israeli intelligence officer who works with the systems.
From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Krita and GIMP are tools for different use cases.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a vicious cycle. The media don’t use Satya Nadella’s name or picture much, so people don’t know who he is or how he looks like.
- Comment on Please choose one 3 weeks ago:
Now adjust our salaries to inflation please because they’re lagging behind.
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… I was thinking about getting my first Nintendo console, but these prices are ridiculous even if it’s “only” $80 for a digital game.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 4 weeks ago:
That’s great, but maybe we should stop talking about you. People pay for Steam, Netflix and many other services because they don’t want to write scripts. They want something convenient and easy to use. They also want additional functionality. You said how you back up save files, but nothing about achievements, time tracking, friends, screenshots sharing, etc.
