I thought their CEO was a 15 year old boy.
- Comment on Orion Browser 4 days ago:
I use it in iOS too and it’s great. I haven’t tried it on Mac, but I would. Id prefer open source solutions but for an iOS browser it’s solid.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 5 days ago:
I’m not saying the 30% fee is fair, but every single company charges 30% except Epic and the Microsoft PC store which north charge 12%.
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 1 week ago:
Because they keep cramming it in all my apps at work and every time I load my email, it tries to open Copilot?
- Comment on Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship 1 week ago:
The amount of waifu and furry porn games in the Switch store is higher than you’d think. Why censor Dispatch?

Harvard also has free courses online!

3 post, no comments. Less than a day old. You a bot?
But I’m American and I’m not taking his advice. He’s a moron.
- Comment on Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News 2 weeks ago:
Because they’ve title their home page as such. Here’s what I see when I search.
- Comment on Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News 2 weeks ago:
Looks like they’ve been leaning hard into AI. Ugh.
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
On top of this, some restaurants are pretty upfront about it. If I remember correctly, Sonic burger patties are part beef, part mushroom.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I think it’s an especially good idea to verify them right now. I don’t want some imposter escalating a war.
Do I want them in my spaces? Fuck no. But, that’s the reality of the world.
- Comment on After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business 3 weeks ago:
Yeah more or less. The Verge did a whole podcast episode on RAM over the holidays. It was a good explainer.
Basically, RAM that goes into AI data centers isn’t necessarily the same as RAM in your computer. There are only 3 companies making RAM. They are altering their fabrication lines to accommodate for the commercial/AI ram so they can make more money. That means they can’t produce consumer RAM.
It’s hard and expensive to build RAM and chip factories because there is one company that makes the machine that does it. So anyone who wants to stay a RAM factory is at their mercy.
The Verge reporter said he expects ram prices might go up significantly more in the next 6months to a year.
- Comment on An Instagram data breach reportedly exposed the personal info of 17.5 million users 3 weeks ago:
I’m not worried about password resets. They have my email but not my password. I use a password manager, and keep my email account locked up tight. As long as they can’t get in my email, they can’t change my password.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I prefer not to be Nintendo because of Nintendo’s behavior, but the price is why they still struggle to sell these.
They sold a ton right out of the gate. Everyone that really wanted one already got one. After that, they need parents and grandparents to get them for the kids and that isn’t going to happen as much.
Nintendo was basically a “toy”. You could, for the most part, safely buy a Nintendo console for your kids at a somewhat reasonable price. (I know the OG consoles were a bit pricey).
You could buy your kid a handheld console for ~$200 or less. The Switch 1 was $300, but you could still get your kid a Lite for $200.
Now, the only option is a $450 Switch 2.
- Comment on An Instagram data breach reportedly exposed the personal info of 17.5 million users 3 weeks ago:
I receive password resets from nearly every app and service at this point. 🙃
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I have a bad habit of never finishing games despite playing the first 1/4 of the game several times.
I need a refresher like TV shows do when they come back for a new season.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I just looked it up. That video was dumb and bad. Shouldn’t have made it up, but the article is still on their site. They did issue a retraction and update the story to correct the inaccuracies.
I don’t know if it warrants the Lemmy hate but I also know that Lemmy hates anything corporate so it is what it is. I’ll still read The Verge as long as they follow their own ethics policy.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 4 weeks ago:
Found it. Yeah that video was bad.
To their credit, they did issue a retraction and repost the story with correct steps.
The copyright strikes were definitely a dumb way to handle it.
Idk if true or not but in an Arstechnica story, The Verge’s editor in chief apparently asked the Vox lawyers to rescind the copyright strikes.
I don’t mean to sound like I’m defending them. The video should never have made it up in the first place, but people make mistakes. If you own it and apologize, I’ll give you a second chance.
I don’t always agree with their take on a topic, but for the most part I have found them to be factual.
I do also agree with many Ed Zitron takes about them tho. They could be doing a better job on AI, but over the last few weeks I’ve seen an improvement there.
TLDR: that PC build from 8 years ago was dumb and extra embarrassing, they should feel bad for it, but I still think some if the hate they get is unjustified.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update January 2026 4 weeks ago:
Disregard my comments. I just noticed that the Voyager app added a share button to save images instead of using the long press. That fixed my sharing issue.
I deleted my previous comments on this.
Thanks for all your hard work!

I see a lot of people hate The Verge and I don’t understand why. Is it perfect? No. But, I think they have a pretty solid ethics policy and they call out bullshit.
I like 404 better but Verge is by no means bad.
Maybe there was an issue with them that I don’t know about? Idk!
- Comment on Trump: The U.S. will 'now' start hitting Mexican land targets 4 weeks ago:
Good thing the senate stopped him from bombing a country he already bombed and not other countries.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 4 weeks ago:
My guess is the get the phone info from protests and then use the data from location data brokers to track further.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 4 weeks ago:
While you are right, sounds like they are mostly getting the data through location data brokers that use advertisement industry to track you.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 4 weeks ago:
Everyone should be using an ad blocker for this reason exactly.
Ads are often the culprit of data for the location data brokers. Fuck the ads.
- Comment on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team 4 weeks ago:
A CSS framework that moves writing CSS into the html to make it stupidly long with annoyingly confusing class names.
I might be biased though. I hate it.
