- Comment on Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more 1 day ago:
LibreWolf doesn’t open tabs in containers, but it is kind of hard coded to never save cookies, passwords, trackers. Every time you close and open browser, it is like to open a freshly installed browser on a freshly installed OS.

Cant they be sued due to failing to fulfill GPL3 license requirements?
- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 day ago:
I wonder if they ask everyone for ID. My account is old enough to drink.
- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 day ago:
While I certainly agree with the “competition fails at being a competitor and sues instead”, it is also false to say that because of Valve having lootboxes for over a decade, we should let it be.
Well, if Valve loses the case and this would force EA, Epic and all other bunch of shitty companies that utilize FOMO and gambling mechanics to stop doing so - I see it as a enormous W.
- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 1 day ago:
Not only used. Parents buy new phones to children and these are not cheap Xiaomis or OPPOs. Most of the time it is actually a Samsung or an iPhone, be it an older version or a new one.

Guess that is an epic time for android phones. Sike! Unfortunately, majority will do ID verification.

Sounds like something that should be banned. Fuck this company.
- Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 1 day ago:
Because OOBE is better than tinkering. Normies will stay on OOBE. We either tinker or move to another project.
- Comment on Emergency warning text and siren to be sent to every phone in Australia [July 27 at 2pm AEST] 2 days ago:
Germany reporting. My phone stays always on no sound no vibration. It would still ring loudly on alert. But there also are silent alerts (like in Korea) that wont ring the alarm.

Cmon guys. make a statement with your wallet.

Instead they have “Other cases” where France and Pyrenees are mentioned one too many times.
- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 days ago:
Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?
I am sure it is the other way. Hard body is fucking terrible at everything. Many report it struggling to hold in the ear canal. They do not have any good noise blocking abilities besides ANC. They hurt some people.
I have not heard from anyone that rubber/foam tips hurt, or have poor noise isolation, or barely hold in ear canal.
- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 2 days ago:
Having played literally 0 TES games in my entire life, I do own some sort of Skyrim enhanced edition in my Steam library. I share your promise. Haven’t got close to play it yet.
- Comment on Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto 3 days ago:
Delays
not cancels, rolls back, stops or retracts. Delay is just doing something later than expected. This will not bring people back or change their minds.

Last time I checked, WoW WotLK channel had some racist remarks by creator. I cant find channel now so most likely it is gone by now.

- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 4 days ago:
Article mentions that Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite, Gemini 3 Flash and Gemini 3 Pro have passed the test. All these 3 also did it 10 out of 10 times without being wrong. Even Gemini 2.5 shares highest score in the category of “below 6 right answers”. Guess, Gemini is the closest to “intelligence” out of a bunch.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 4 days ago:
Went to test to google AI first and it says “You cant wash your car at a carwash if it is parked at home, dummy”
Chatgpt and Deepseek says it is dumb to drive cause it is fuel inefficient.
I am honestly surprised that google AI got it right.
- Comment on Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't. 4 days ago:
Seems to be some sort of a tool that scans your media library and fetches missing media (the one that failed to download or something)
I am getting very annoyed reading “What is Huntarr?”, “The Real Problem: Why You Need Huntarr” and “Understanding the Gap Problem”. Am I too non-native english speaker to understand it or is it really same 3 paraphrased paragraphs?
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 5 days ago:
So. In the other post they promised not to go AI, but in this one we see black on white proof that she is totally gonna dive deep into ai gaming? Makes me think how much longer gamers (your typical cod/fifa gamer) will stay silent?
P.S. Players do not have to become loud. Best way to actually tell gaming industry to fuck off with their anti-consumer narrative is to vote with your wallet. Yes, it is that easy.
- Comment on Samsung knows exactly how you'll use Galaxy S26 Ultra's 'Privacy Display' in teaser 1 week ago:
One by one looking at peoples phones like that is annoying. But when all 3 of them watch with their binoculars, spotting scopes and looking glasses, it is hilarious AF.
- Comment on shut uppp 1 week ago:
It is a marvel, and is pretty great really. Main issues with AI today are that they are hardware-intensive and require cooling, tons of storage and computing capacity, replace workforce with subpar performance, etc.
You see, modern LLMs are generative AI and not really a sentient AI. They have tons of texts and content in their database from which AI will generate answer to your prompt. But more often than never it would generate things that are wrong. AIs task is to generate, not actually think.
It should’ve make us work less hours and have more free time by enhancing our productivity. Yet we lose jobs and have to work more hours while earning less.
- Comment on Reddit, Meta, and Google Voluntarily Gave DHS Info of Anti-ICE Users, Report Says 1 week ago:
I sure do hope that once anti-ICE users catch a wind of this, they’d move to lemmy, Signal and selfhosted platforms ASAP.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 1 week ago:
800 is a fair price. Similarly specced minipc HX99G was sold at $700-900 until it went out of stock. I am beginning to doubt that Steam Machine is goint to be sold at this price. Must be higher due to ram and ssd prices of today. In other case, 800 for Steam Machine would be a steal, really.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 1 week ago:
Selling our data implies that we get to have profits.
Life is better without companies selling our data.
Might be tad more on point.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 1 week ago:
What did Snapchat and TikTok settle for? Did they just pay money to not to expose themselves in court? Or did they actually settled to FUCKING FINALLY crack down on addiction and other issues on their platform? (x) Doubt
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
Cant. My nas is weak and cant run unraid. Raid5 and Raid6 is what I can achieve.
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
Most of my storage is media - movies and series. Immich, Nextcloud and personal files take little less than 300GB. I do backups weekly to NAS storage, monthly to storage SSD in my PC and to an external HDD. I am looking into way to somehow be able to backup to a rpi3 that I have installed at my father’s place. This might cover my 3-2-1 needs, just need to figure out that 1.
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
I had purchased first 12TB drive for 4 bay NAS last summer. These are fuckton expensive so couldnt get all 4. I finally saved up and bought 2nd 12TB drive to get to RAID 1 for redundancy. Not even month passed, WD reports no more drives. Shop where I got one reports out of stock. FUCK!
Fuck AI and fuck big tech. I got my 12tb cloud and will give you 0 money in near future.
