- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 3 days ago:
You are wrong daikiki. AI is a tech that is going to change everything, it’s the “computers” of this era, they are investing in a technology that will boom. Even if you don’t think it will they will push it, see what google is doing, they rigged up the search results and now you necessarily have to use AI to get good answers, it’s also there by default so you can’t really avoid it.

Many people have no interest in replacing PC parts
Many people have no interest in replacing their car tires and they just want to drive but i’m sure they would be really pissed if once a tire bursts they would have to replace the car.

It is also very hard for them to do marketing selling third parties modular parts, it’s much better for them to come up with a product.
If you want to swap your GPU, build your own SFF.
If you want to replace parts in your computer so that it doesn’t became useless in 5 years or end up in a landfill when a piece break, build your own SFF

They need their products to be as clean as possible to hook people into microtransactions and their proprietary platform. Valve is a for profit company and the ceo owns a fleet of mega yachts
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 1 week ago:
I will never understand the hypocritical surveillance state apologism when it comes to China or Russia on this site.
People get brainwashed to conform, when they don’t like a side they urge to pick another

Chinese government is not trying to oppress their citizens
yes they are
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 1 week ago:
In this case we should indeed report on them because it is not much clear to the public what palantir does and they have ties and contracts with the government

“A surveillance state is needed to beat china who is evil because it’s a surveillance state”

You should try to strengthen your relationship so that they don’t spin around a specific videogame. What happens if you get banned or the requirements for playing the game becomes even more stupid?

- Comment on 1 month ago:
it is that represents people’s major obstacle to joining Mastodon
There’s always room for improvement but i believe there’s not much drastically wrong with mastodon, the obstacle is people themself conforming to whatever is popular you could pay them to join mastodon and they would still not do it, see how they would rather pay for windows than switch to linux.

The problem is something else. Energy in winter canada shouldn’t be used to power factories, the industry should be moved south but you have invisible lines on a map preventing that from ever happening.

You are, intentionally or otherwise, distorting what I said. Who cares about “me” - yes I stopped recommending Fediverse tools bc it’s useless to do so especially when the developers themselves don’t even seem to care about making it a good platform to use for others besides themselves, meh it’s their code and their right to do whatever they wish - but anyway I’m just one person.
Distorting what you are saying? You keep saying the feediverse is bad, It’s not. Go back to reddit.

Governments spend billions on propaganda, world politicians use twitter because there are agreements and the platform is trusted.
Stop saying that mastodon suck, it doesn’t and it’s much better than twitter or bluesky.
Ask yourself why people all flock to the same platform.
Because someone they know or they are following use that platform.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
The only reason mastodon isn’t as popular as bluesky is because famous people got told to go there and not on mastodon.
Does that instance make people in the Western world feel comfortable when they visit it - especially mainstream normies… or even scientists
The ceo of twitter is a pedophile who advertise for political parties on a daily basis. The average normie use whatever platform is popular and it’s not mastodon because nobody is being paid or told to use it.

- Comment on 'Our Genocide': How do Israelis feel about the war in Gaza? | On the Ground 1 month ago:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts i can understand why you feel they way you do. Personally i don’t like much pools, they can be deceptive and shouldn’t be trusted as what the majority of people actually believe; they also tunnel opinions that may be more elaborated into binary options. What really strikes me in the video is the dystopian scenario where many people seem to just be chilling and living their first world life a few kilometers away from a war and misery. The divergence is so strong that it makes you question if we are more or less all doing the same thing

- Comment on Pope Leo XIV dislikes AI, won’t authorise creation of AI Pope—"If we automate the whole world and only a few people have the means with which to more than just survive"~ there’s a big problem 1 month ago:
friendly reminder from an athiest; this pope is a good dude and a mathematician, he knows what’s up.
friendly reminder from someone that doesn’t label himself according to his beliefs in fairy tales: the pope is the ceo of a bigot cult that use fear to manipulate and control people. He’s not a good dude and has a history already of defending fellow cult pedophiles.

- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 2 months ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore
“You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information. … You can tag individuals … Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.”
- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 2 months ago:
The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to combine access to the sensitive and personal information of Americans into a single searchable system with the help of shady companies should terrify us – and should inspire us to fight back.
We should indeed fight back against the governments and corporations that for decades have been doing this shit.
