- Comment on An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me 22 hours ago:
That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

Haha! You’re just like my buddy!
My superior M&KB did not prepare me to be owned so much in Halo!
Those controller folks are gifted.

A lot of games have aim assist with controllers. I’m currently playing Read Dead Redemption 2 and when you aim with a controller, it auto locks to their body.
I noticed that with a bunch of games when I’m playing on the Steam Deck.

KB&M with Arkham games was my jam! Now that I’m better with a controller, I can see why people like it.

Haha that was me!
I grew up on it. I even played 2D platformers (emulated) and fighting games on it.
Only in the past few years have I gotten used to a controller. Mostly because Sekiro was kicking my ass and when I whined about it, the internet made fun of me and I finally bought a USB controller.
I’m still trash though I got mods to make me near invincible.

I tried to replay PS1 Tomb Raider and nearly threw the controller away.
I don’t know how I did it as a kid.

Quake 3 on the dreamcast with M&KB! Spent like 50 bucks to gain a edge! I was even online with it!
Unfortunately I’m trash and people are just really good at Quake.

I remember hating Metroid Prime’s controller scheme on the Gamecube. The controls felt so stiff. But I was so in love with the universe and gameplay that I just accepted it, kind of like every Rockstar game.
Now I wish I played it on the Wii.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 4 days ago:
Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!
So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).
I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.
Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 4 days ago:
For e2ee, neither does Discord, nor Stoat, which is what most of these comments are pushing people towards.

What was the problem with Zulip on mobile did you have?
I only use it for text chat, so I’m curious.

It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.
Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?
Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

The website would be better if there was also links or resources to alternate.
But also that’s hard depending on where you are.

America creates the blueprint. As they say, we are #1 (at speedrunning towards a cyberpunk dystopia)
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 1 week ago:
For things before 2023, there was sexual harassment (multiple) bullying and hostile workplace and their excitement over NFT. They had a boys club and made it a really toxic atmosphere, where the CCO literally said “Women don’t sell”.
- Comment on 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI 1 week ago:
The best way from my perspective is to show them.
At tech events and meetups, I’m showing them Linux.
When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.
At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 1 week ago:
Always has been.
Remember when Elon had to buy Twitter?
Prior to that, he was manipulating the market through Twitter causing a lot of uncertainty.

People who abuse GenAI no longer can tell when the shit they post look like GenAI. They only talk to AI so it looks normal to them.

Nah. More like giving your private citizens data to HS government.

Jokes aside, a Double VPN exists, which masks your VPN with a VPN.

What does age verification mean for VPNs?
Because if I’m using a VPN using a UK server and I get any issues, I can switch to Spain, or Italy, or Zimbabwe or whatever. Is that not the case?

- Comment on Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users 2 weeks ago:
$68 million is chump change to Google.
This is like me getting a speeding fine for $1.
This is the cost of doing business for them.

I like to make extra rice to turn into fried rice.
And then I realize I don’t really like fried rice and I freeze that.

Microsoft should replace “content sharing” with their original idea from the Zune… Squirting.

- Comment on Judge orders Anna’s Archive to delete scraped data; no one thinks it will comply 4 weeks ago:
The court order, which was previously reported by TorrentFreak, was issued by Judge Michael Watson in US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. “Plaintiff has established that Defendant crashed its website, slowed it, and damaged the servers, and Defendant admitted to the same by way of default,” the ruling said.
US court. Where is Anna’s Archive located?
Because with the state of America right now, every country should be giving the US Courts the finger. We’re pretty much a rogue nation now.
