- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 hours ago:
This seems like a good way to turn a golden goose into a turducken. Elon really needed some of Aesop’s fables in his upbringing.
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 4 days ago:
Hopefully SteamOS Desktop is released some months before then, so that people have a comfy Linux to welcome them.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 6 days ago:
Even if your local shops are good, odds are their suppliers would be companies like Aramark.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 1 week ago:
Good to know. I don’t want whatever they are letting slip into their food.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 1 week ago:
Because he has money, and you don’t.
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 1 week ago:
Francio?
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
All the more reason to use Linux. I will be swapping to Cachy or SteamOS Desktop, depending on when and how things play out.

- Comment on Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMs 1 week ago:
I support the destruction of copyright. Humanity should have free access to media, be it for enhancing their commercial products or for individuals to develop their personhood.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 weeks ago:
AI will do fine without Microsoft, nor does it need Palantir and Dogey America. As someone who likes and supports AI, I don’t want crappy institutions to influence how it develops.
Anyhow, I will be switching to SteamOS Desktop when that is available. Or CachOS, when Microsoft starts using AI to spy on people.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 2 weeks ago:
I would prefer peace. But let’s be frank, that isn’t likely to happen, because the Trump Regime consists of people who don’t value a peaceful, kind, and just world.

- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 3 weeks ago:
It is never the technology at fault. When it comes down to it, evil people want to exercise the power of their crown, damned be the consequences and injustice. AI is just the latest excuse to be a remorseless dickhead.
- Comment on My tender eyes and ears 3 weeks ago:
Actually, you CAN have adblock on Apple. Kagi’s browser, Orion, has the option for extensions like Ublock Origin.
- Comment on Zootopia 3 weeks ago:
Disney Adults, an trending segment at Pornhub. I approve. 😀
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 3 weeks ago:
It is going to take at least five years before local AI is user-friendly enough and with performant hardware circulating, that ordinary folks would consider buying an AI machine.
I have a top-end DDR4 gaming rig. It takes a long time for 100b sized AI to give some roleplaying output, at least forty minutes for my settings via KoboldCPP with a GGUF. I don’t think a typical person would want to wait more than 2 minutes for a good response. So we will need at least DDR6 era devices before it is practical for everyday people.
- Comment on Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference 4 weeks ago:
That metric can said of just about anything regarding beliefs. The important thing is reducing the number of MAGA to levels where they beliefs can’t really propagate anymore. The keys to that lies in eliminating the 1% as a class, by reducing wealth gaps and maintaining them at lower levels as an institution. This would require huge reforms, along the lines of the Magna Carta and the American Constitution, but for economics.
The 1% wield immense political power, because they hoard dynastic wealth and can use it as a club against society. That is why they are the lynchpin of conservative projects, and so they must be removed as a factor, if a better society is to be fostered.
- Comment on Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference 4 weeks ago:
This is where I am at where MAGA is concerned. It would be a crimson lining to a 2nd American Civil War, where I and others can free our society of Nazi kindred for good. IMO, the 1% of America are very likely to sympathize with the Confederates, because they believe that slavery of the poors is the natural state of things.
- Comment on Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference 4 weeks ago:
Good. 🙂
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 weeks ago:
Realistically, global trade drying up. Canada, Mexico, the EU, and others just refusing to do business with the US. Or possibly, making deals on a state-by-state basis, such as exchanging with California and New York, while ignoring Texas. By doing something like that, foreign nations can help prop up anti-conservative states, while bleeding conservatives lily white.
Mutual military agreements, such as retooling NATO to exclude the US and incorporating Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan might happen as well. The US has ceded their mutual exchange with Taiwan, other powers like India would like to have those chips. Maybe the EU outright allying with Ukraine, to remove Russia from play and to secure Ukraine’s grain, oil, and expertise on warfare.
…In short, it will be a couple decades of work to stop the Turdpublican agenda through diplomatic pressure. Probably around a decade if WW3 or a 2nd American Civil War happens.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 4 weeks ago:
SteamOS Desktop can’t come fast enough. Cachy will do if I need to jump ship, but I would like to only make one distro hop and be done with that for at least a decade.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 5 weeks ago:
I hope some other state university gives a job offer to the professor.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
It is my hope to someday have AI create the assets for game concepts. I have ideas for making a Tetris clone with each piece or color having different properties, but actualizing it is far beyond my abilities.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
I dunno, the death of mega corporations would do the world a great deal of good. Healthier capitalism requires competition, and a handful of corporations of any given sector isn’t going to seriously compete nor pay good wages.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
I have the impression that anti-AI people don’t understand that they are giving up agency for the sake of temporary feels. If they truly cared about ethical usage of AI, they would be wanting to have mastery that is at least equal to that of corporations and the 1%.
Making AI into a public good is key to a better future.
- Comment on Apple, Google tell workers on visas to avoid leaving the U.S. amid Trump immigration crackdown 1 month ago:
They should leave. Who knows what senseless cruelty the regime will inflict upon the innocent? It is best to leave before the shield of civility and foreign relations has completely shattered.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
I think the Luddites weren’t just wrong, but actively harmed the masses. They should have been trying to take control of the machines, not destroying them, so that they can set more ethical working conditions and pay. The wealthy will always build and use the machines, it is a question whether there are good people running their own businesses who can compete against the feckless elite.
That is why I am opposed to anti-AI people, because they are doing the work of ensuring the 1% get sole agency over the usage of AI. Knowingly or not, Luddites are serving the worst of humanity.

- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 1 month ago:
The EU should secure a deal with Taiwan. The US has already tried to extort money of Taiwan by threatening the removal of protection. For the sake of democracy’s power and prosperity, the EU should offer to officially protect Taiwan. Having access to quality chips is key to all sorts of things.
Anyhow, the channel ‘Asianometry’, has a video covering the EUV machines. They are an incredible linchpin of our modern world.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 1 month ago:
Of course it should. An industry run by AI, still needs roads and other public goods. Furthermore, the taxes can go towards UBI, allowing people to help guide the economy with their dollars and to ensure their personal wellbeing.
The big question is when do we remove human CEOs, and use their incomes for the common good?
