Half of them definitely just making PowerPoints and attending meetings. You’d probably end up with 5 devs actually doing something and a marketing/advertisement department, I guess
- Comment on AI Experts No Longer Saving for Retirement Because They Assume AI Will Kill Us All by Then 1 day ago:
Yea, fuck all this AI development and companies pushing it into everything… but I’m not really convinced that AI is gonna be our doom. We’re doing it to ourselves already just fine without them.
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 1 day ago:
I’d imagine inducing stress and manipulation if anything. Pormanove and the fourth guy were and are both mentally challenged and thus more easily manipulated and coerced. Also no way you don’t see the signs coming from your “friend” after streaming together for more than a year and a half
- 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 1 week ago:
I do find AI useful when I’m debugging a large SQL / Python script though and gotta say I make use of it in that case… other than that it’s useless and relying on it as ones main tool is idiotic

Just like next quarter’s finance numbers for USA will coincidentally just all the great stuff Trump has achieved!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing wrong with pressuring your loved ones a bit - especially as a parent. I read it in a loving, paternal tone rather than a demanding, controlling one. Of course, if it was literal it’d be problematic.
The guy is complaining about not being able to find girls - so I wouldn’t read too much into it either.
Well, I don’t see the flags anyway. We don’t know these two people or what their relationship is like.

I was about to ask what you meants with wizard lego… but I assume you mean that they make Harry Potter ones?
- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 2 weeks ago:
As a “European” my electricity bill has never been as low as it is this year. I think it really depends where you live

Great invention… Just uses hooorribly wrong. The classic capitalist greed, just gotta get on the wagon and roll it on out so you don’t mias out on a potential paycheck

You and me both. Good luck!
- Comment on Belgium Targets Internet Archive's 'Open Library' in Sweeping Site Blocking Order 3 weeks ago:
Many places in Europe are wonderful. Generally speaking I think you’re quite fine when it comes to LGBT rights, especially in the Western countries, and metros and public transportation in general are commonplace, but I wouldn’t expect free internet and freedom of expression to be around in a handful years.
- Comment on Belgium Targets Internet Archive's 'Open Library' in Sweeping Site Blocking Order 3 weeks ago:
I’d expect it to be cracked down entirely within the next 2-3 years. The EU has wet dreams of absolute control
- Comment on The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025 3 weeks ago:
The SVM government as a whole is huge on expanding surveillance and the police force - I don’t see that it’s just a small group of activists within the parties. I’m just glad other EU countries aren’t biting on this bs
- Comment on The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025 3 weeks ago:
It’s not “Danish activists” but rather the government. As a Dane I know how horny these people are to create a fullblown police/nanny state. SVM (the name for the government) is terrible for all of us. Can’t wait to see their voter share drastically diminish at the next election, but clearly they can do a lot of harm first…
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
LLMs are absolutely amazing for a lot of things. I use it at work all the time to check code blocks or remembering syntax. It is NOT and should NOT be your main source of general information and we collectively have to realise how problematic and energy consuming they are.

It’s only implemented in 4 countries and mine doesn’t even use Euro
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 4 weeks ago:
Don’t you tell me Russia hasn’t been waging wars. That’s an insane statement. Even looking past Ukraine, since the breakdown of the Russian Empire 2.0 (aka the Soviet Union) Russia has invaded Georgia twice, Transnistria, Chechnya twice, and Dagestan, as well as having upheld Al-Assad’s regime - don’t tell me that guy isn’t evil even if he stood up to Israel - and are now heavily involved in Burkina Faso, Mali, and the CAR. Now do you want to talk about all the shit Russia got up to between 1920 - 1991? Or the countless genocides of the Russian Empire as well as the continuous oppression of ethnic minorities in the Caucasus and Siberia, including using them as human meat shields in Ukraine?
The West deserves hate, but so does Russia. Don’t be a tankie idiot. No one is choosing Russia because Russia isn’t that important anymore. Others are choosing China and that makes sense.

You know what’s completely ridiculous? Your black or white view of the world. Reality is that there is no benevolent state or any kind of financially succesful entity that isn’t built on some form of exploitation. The Western system is evil. So is Russia for sure. China. UAE and the Saudis. You have India now rising by building strong ties with USA and Israel. There’s no geopolitical force that’s built on good. That you’re incapable of realising that and just go “West bad so everyone else good” is quite telling about you. Besides, Russian Jews - strongly overrepresented in the oligarchs statistics - traditionally have strong ties to the Israeli state and Zionism. Russia’s - like everyone else’s - current interests are only based on what they perceive to be the most gainful. If Putin could’ve benefitted from siding with Israel instead of the China-Iran-Assad axis he would’ve done so immediately. To even suggest that Russia is anti-Zionist out of benevolence is insane.
Besides you now say he has “Russian roots” but right before you were attempting to convince people that he was “Ukrainian”. So

YSK that he grew up in Yaroslavl, Russia to Russian-speaking Jewish parents. Calling him “Ukrainian” just because he was born in Odesa during the Soviet Union is misleading. He had/has close ties to the Russian state and became wealthy off of Russian oil and aluminium deposits in the 90s.
So yes, you can blame “the Russians”, but you should rather blame the system.

It’s not just a “business decision”. It’s about control and they’re connected. You’re naive if you don’t see the bigger picture
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 4 weeks ago:
It’s the slowly boiling water, mate. You think governments give a fuck whether some neckbeards play incest video games in their mum’s basement? It’s about power and expanding the reach of what they can monitor and control. One day it’s porn games the next day it’s books. It’s a tiny step towards a more and more authoritarian world.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 4 weeks ago:
What is wrong with that? It’s not like actual democracies are a thing. The elites somewhat allow us to decide on “Western bullshit” topics such as killing games, gendered bathrooms, national dishes, and other issues that don’t affect their bottom lines. They don’t allow us to influence geopolitics. Sure you can yell about freeing Congo, and it should be… but ehh, if some people care about stop killing games then whatever. Anything positive is something - and I don’t even really play video games or care about this thing.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 4 weeks ago:
And what do you recommend paying with instead?
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 4 weeks ago:
No shit… you think it’d be fair to devs and creators if you could just buy the game, play it for 15 hours and then get a refund every time?

And likewise in a time with such a strong pushback against knowledge, science, and innovation… Oh the things humanity could achieve without these destructive forces!

Very disappointing indeed. Hoping to at least see continued work on digital independence, especially in governmental entities.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 4 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, but why are matters of governmental surveillance and control inherently “right-wing” rather than a totalitarian policy not otherwise directly connected to wing politics? Extremists on both sides have a history of creating totalitarian, Big Brother states (which the UK is certainly headed towards).
- Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall. 1 month ago:
It’s insane how much music, art, theatre, television etc still comes out of the UK, and how little they’ve capitalised on it - letting the Americans take all the initiative.
