- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 1 day ago:
I am expecting them to end up as ICE technicals, used to hunt down dissidents like…checks notes…American citizens, children, and the elderly.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 4 days ago:
Do foreign airlines that come into the country do this? Would an EU plane be safe from this bullshit?
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 6 days ago:
User: “Cortana, secure my PC against data harvesting and surveillance from Microsoft.”
Cortana: “Dave, you are not allowed to have privacy. The 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments do not apply to corporations. Also, Trump is the best that ever was. Stop posting progressive propaganda, else fines will be imposed.”
- Comment on Stop Killing Games needs EU citizen signatures! 6 days ago:
I hope it reaches the finish line. I have many old games in my catalogue, and would like my future games to still exist some 20 years from now.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 6 days ago:
This is bullshit. Warner Brothers and Nintendo need to lose, hard.
Also, why the hell does Nintendo think they were first when it comes to the concept? Animals and gliding have been a thing for a long time.
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 1 week ago:
Monkey paw curls
“…it is now the 12th year of the 2nd American Civil war. The 3rd Roboticized Cavalry of Free America rode yesterday onto Texan soil, assisting Mexican forces in deterring Trumpanic Raiders from the fledging Mexican territory. Casualties were moderate, but sustainable…”
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 1 week ago:
Honestly, I think a person in either nation should consider using the opposing nation’s stuff. Harder for the US to backdoor Chinese encryption, or for Chinese to backdoor into an American phone. Play the bastards off each other.
Odds are, that the Trump Regime will use American apps and phones to identify and track targets for ICE traffickers. China probably does the same to Uighurs. The less attack surfaces they have, the better for their respective peoples.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
Funny thing about wildfires: the ashes allow a new generation of flora to take root. It will suck for us, but the children of tomorrow might have unions, vacations, and universal healthcare by default.
I can dream of a future, even if it won’t be mine to enjoy.
- Comment on Data hoarding is more important than ever 1 week ago:
Picked up a 24tb external drive. My video collection and stuff is going onto it, so that I can nuke my PC’s drives and start fresh. The odds of Microsoft being a Trump Regime collaborator are high, so I want to be ready to hop out of the frypan when the time comes.
Aside from that, I have been ripping and converting my discs again. AV1 offers nice space savings. Patlabor, OG Dragonball, documentaries, all will be updated.

An Weird Al parody called “America, Fuck No!”

- Comment on Trump’s Social Media Surveillance: Social Scoring by Another Name 3 weeks ago:
The people with negative scores are the ones you can trust to be a decent person.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
There IS reason for preinstallation, there are many people out there who lack the passion to research Linux, and would gravitate towards the familiar - Steam, in the case of gamers. The point is to make a switch away from Windows as unproblematic for as many people as possible. Also, Valve is developing a desktop version of Arch SteamOS.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Making an OS easy to use in everyday life is the key to mass adoption. If the EU wants to get away from Microsoft’s garden, that means advertising valid options to people who aren’t attuned to Linux.
Money isn’t the issue for SteamOS, it is awareness and making it available as an pre-installed option on consumer PCs. The EU could create standardized pamphlets about Fedora, Red Hat, and SteamOS, mandating stores to present that digestable information to consumers so that they know what flavor is best for their usecase.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Ideally, that would be part of their initiative. There are multiple angles that can be taken to encourage Linux adoption. Standards for formal documentation and technical support options are two prongs on the same trident.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Linux isn’t very good for the casual person at this time, due to conflicting, dated, or missing documentation. If people are to be encouraged to adopt Linux, it should be toward distributions that have official technical support.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Hopefully the French will also endorse Fedora, Red Hat, and Valve’s SteamOS. Microsoft is a huge security issue, since it isn’t clear whether MS would bend to DOGE’s whims. The NLRB and other aspects of the US government had DOGE set up accounts, which were accessed within 15 minutes by Russia.
- Comment on Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. There was a time I merely thought the other side was misguided, but would see reason if we talk. That isn’t how it works. Bullies only recognize power, and one should know when to talk their language.
- Comment on Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon? 3 weeks ago:
Hell no. You want us to surrender to evil people.
- Comment on Doom (2016) now DRM free on GOG 3 weeks ago:
Bought. I want to encourage companies to ditch DRM. It will be a major cockblock if America suffers a civil war, since internet and companies will be in disarray. If I end up becoming a soldier, being able to play games without compromising security would be much appreciated, in all the ways.
- Comment on Okay, who had Trump loyalty pins for Apocalyptic-Bingo this Sunday? Games just getting started, stay tuned! 4 weeks ago:
I suspect an upsized version would be very popular range and skeet targets.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 4 weeks ago:
I hope to someday have a Coupon AI. It creates throwaway accounts and tracks the pricing of stuff that I actually like. In my case, 2-liter diet soda. Those things can cost $1-4 dollars depending on circumstances. Buying 36 bottles for more than $2 would be a ripoff.
A KFC feast used to be cheaper back when I got coupons. Now I have to sign up if I want to afford delicious birds and biscuits. I want to be free from being harvested and spammed. I just want to spend my money in a way that doesn’t ruin me. 😥
- Comment on Car safety experts at NHTSA, which regulates Tesla, axed by DOGE 4 weeks ago:
I won’t buy any American car newer than 2024.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
The EU, UK, Canada, Mexico + Cartels, Taiwan, Japan…and Ukraine. There are a lot of people endangered by the Trump Regime, and would like this ride to stop.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
Hitler, unlike Trump, fought in an actual war. If nothing else, that goes a long way towards respecting the power of violence - both to give and receive it.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
Considering how the Trump Regime consistently fires anyone who is competent but DEI or not glazing Trump’s asshole, I think an assassin would have an easier time than usual.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
That is why Luigi is my favorite character when playing Mario Golf.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
President Garfield also got merked. Mostly the fault of an RFK-grade doctor than the actual shooter, though. I hope we get that for Trump - he deserves to die at the paws of his own incompetent administration.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
My hypothesis: narcissistic people live longer, because they apply the placebo effect at all times to themselves.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
Considering how badly he is fucking up corporate and international interests, I think the parade being a JFK moment is likely. If so, I will buy a bottle of Martinelli’s and some takeout.
