- Comment on Motion sensors in high-performance mice can be used as a microphone to spy on users, thanks to AI — Mic-E-Mouse technique harnesses mouse sensors, converts acoustic vibrations into speech 1 day ago:
Just use a mouse pad.
- Comment on "Valve must stop making excuses": Steam under fire for "significant price disparity for PC games," causing regional pricing that's "often 20% to 30% higher than the dollar equivalent" 4 days ago:
YouTube charges ≈$1.50 USD in some countries and charges $14 USD in the United States. I just thought this was standard. Shitty, but normal.

Looks like there are at least 7 of us reading these! I like them! I think it’s interesting but I also greatly appreciate the transparency as a donor.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 5 days ago:
I used to get something like all the time, even when I already paid for Game Pass.
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 5 days ago:
The fact that the other two branches decide the third branch’s members makes no sense. Congress doesn’t decide the president and the president doesn’t pick senators. So why does the president pick the judges and congress vote on them?
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 6 days ago:
I understand, but I do want to support devs, especially indie devs, when u can. That’s why I have no qualms about canceling an expensive service and putting that money directly in their hands when it’s possible
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 week ago:
I canceled. I don’t want the features they added. I don’t even use all the features they charge me for now. I just want to be able to try out so new games every so often. I’ll take the $30 I save and buy those same games, probably with some money leftover
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 1 week ago:
Once I looked celebrity’s well-known family member just to see how bad data brokers are. It game me her info and it had a relative section that listed all of the celebrity’s info too, including addresses and phone numbers. It was bonkers that it was so easy to find. Especially, since I didn’t pay for it. That was just 100% free searches on various data sites and google. Imagine what I could have done if I had paid for info.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 1 week ago:
I don’t need to show you a badge. No one does. I can’t just go get your info from the data broker.
Perhaps you see the problem here…
- Comment on EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm 1 week ago:
So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 1 week ago:
I wonder what percentage of posts containing the words “woke” or “DEI” are from bots, and what percentage of posts with those words are from liberals getting upset about a bot post.
- Comment on oh cool 1 week ago:
Do give it a watch but don’t rush. They cancelled the show before ending it so it’s very unsatisfying.
- Comment on oh cool 1 week ago:
It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.
The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .
It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple on androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.
Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:
Tap for spoiler
androids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into trees
I don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild.
- Comment on oh cool 1 week ago:
No. The show is cancelled before they wrap up anything.
Personally, I’d still watch it anyway because the show is so goddamn weird you can’t find anything like it anywhere else.
For anyone reading who hasn’t seen it, I would describe it as the most metal (🤘) show I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on oh cool 1 week ago:
I’m still upset that this was canceled.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like my job so I went back to school for tech. Not for the salary, but because I genuinely enjoy it. After 8 months of applying, I got 1 phone interview.
The job I hate went fully remote around that time and I just gave up entirely. I’ll just keep doing a job I hate but at least I can work at home.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 2 weeks ago:
Just duct tape an iPad to the refrigerator door. It’s cheaper and it works better.
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I think it’s both interlaced and AI. We know his face isn’t looking too good lately. Worse than normal, but you can’t see any signs of that in the video. Maybe he got some Botox?
The hands are weird but that’s but that’s not what is giving me uncanny valley vibes.
it’s the movement of Trump himself. I had to go find some other videos of him of the Oval Office trading from a teleprompter. I watched some older videos but, just look at the differences in the speech given 9/9 on about the NC stabbing vs this one on 9/10.
He tends to lean back and forth while he talks and he likes to do a thing where he emphasizes points with his chin. I don’t see any of that here.
It feels like that trend where people were using AI to bring pictures to life. Like it’s him but they enhanced it with AI or edited the hell out of it. I mean it’s definitely multiple clips spliced together. You can see and hear those cuts if you pay attention.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you found a job where you can be happy!

Do you? 😘
- Comment on Amid Palworld Lawsuit, Nintendo Patents a System for Summoning a Character 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I can see it wasn’t clear and then I started trolling people who yelled at me which didn’t help my case.
I should have been more clear, that I was trying to call out the hypocrisy of Nintendo’s lawsuit with Palworld (Pokémon with guns) when their own game could be considered just as immoral by some.
I’m annoyed at companies that would rather sue than compete. Palworld is a different game with different ideas.
It’s on me for not being clear!

Bro thinks I don’t play Pokémon.
Y’all are so angry.
Weedle is my favorite of the Kanto region. I also like Dwebble and Blitzle from Unova region.

People hate the truth.
- Comment on Amid Palworld Lawsuit, Nintendo Patents a System for Summoning a Character 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I wasn’t being serious but based on the downvotes I don’t think Lemmy got that.
My intent was actually to fuck over Nintendo with a patent about making your pets fight each other the way they keep gobbling up patents for shit that already exists.
- Comment on Amid Palworld Lawsuit, Nintendo Patents a System for Summoning a Character 4 weeks ago:
I’m actually a big supporter of giving homeless people help to care for their pets. A pets love is unconditional and everyone deserves that feeling.
- Comment on Amid Palworld Lawsuit, Nintendo Patents a System for Summoning a Character 4 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong.
But something just feels more wrong about Dog Fighting Simulator 2025 to me.
- Comment on Amid Palworld Lawsuit, Nintendo Patents a System for Summoning a Character 4 weeks ago:
Does anyone have a patent on making animals fight each other?
How is Pokémon still a thing anyway? Imaginary dogfighting is still fucked up.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week 4 weeks ago:
My company did the same thing. We called the president out on it too with the same result. After a year, they went back to remote work. You and your coworkers should keep bringing it up.
