- Comment on The UN demands censorship of the Internet, "we need to take global action" 1 day ago:
lol I grew up with a 2400bps modem connecting to BBS. 1mbit sounded dreamy for years and years.
- Comment on I wish there was an uninhabited, autonomous zone for folks who want "freedom" to play out their dangerous ideas away from the rest of society 1 day ago:
Danish countries.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 3 days ago:
Shhhh, they don’t need to know this.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 3 days ago:
I just see this as future job security.
Oh, AI fucked your codebase? Well, it’ll take twice as much time to undo it all and fix it, my rate is $150/hr. Thanks.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 6 days ago:
Okay so…in the rare event I need to rent a car, any suggestions on who to use that isn’t Hertz and sister companies?
- Comment on Finished Links Awakening Remake on Hero Mode. 1 week ago:
lol, wow, I can barely get through on the easiest mode. props to you.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
I don’t understand this fully, from a profiteering gluttons standpoint, why wouldn’t they want to process anything and everything and make all the money they can?
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
As stated, I’ve tried rallying in my area and nobody seems interested. I’m also at a disadvantage if I just go at it alone because I’m not white.
- Comment on Can no longer access my old instance (lemmings.world) because I'm from the UK. I made several communities there. Is there any way I can mod them again or do I move them to this instance? 1 week ago:
Wow, today I learned, that’s handy.
- Comment on There are no happy people, only happy moments 1 week ago:
Well all of us are capitalist social media content, so I guess you aren’t wrong.
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
Thank you for the information. I just hope it leads to action. Poll results to me are just someone standing around waving a sign.
These fascists didn’t rise to power by following all the rules, and they won’t exit or lose power by us following the rules. It’s a sad truth.
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
As a US citizen, prove to me that most Americans don’t want this.
Yeah, I see the protests, even in my Trump-loving town.
But that’s it. People holding signs.
I don’t see aggressive action. I don’t see the necessary violence - yeah I said it.
I’m moving out of the country because everyone I’ve tried to rally says they’re too busy, they don’t have time, they care but they don’t care that much, they think everything will work out, or they believe it isn’t as bad as the news says.
The people I’ve voted for and elected just sit on their hands and do fuck all.
I’m 110% for fighting for and defending what I used to believe in, but not when literally all evidence and signs point to nobody else giving a shit.
Someone call me when you’re ready to legitimately strategize about how to topple this fascist regime.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 1 week ago:
Absolutely the second. Once something has been destroyed, it takes years or decades to get it back. They’re purposely banking on going overboard, knowing full well it will collapse all the institutions and that repairing that can’t occur at the same pace.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 1 week ago:
Or target them.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 1 week ago:
Fuck them all, I hope they get cancer and die a slow, agonizing death.
- Comment on Can no longer access my old instance (lemmings.world) because I'm from the UK. I made several communities there. Is there any way I can mod them again or do I move them to this instance? 1 week ago:
+1 for Mullvad.

How does that work if, like, you were actually speeding?
Asking for a friend.
- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
Grok is the worst AI I have ever used across Qwen, DeepSeek, ChatGPT / Copilot, Claude, Llama, Mistral, Gemini, etc.
I can’t believe it’s top rated, that’s insane.
- Comment on The worst day to get Groundhog Day'd would be when you have an early flight in the morning 1 week ago:
This reminded me of Rome Sweet Rome, which I guess we’ll never get.
I’d watch it.
- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
So all stateside AI is fucked except Grok. Got it.
- Comment on oof 1 week ago:
What are the gains?
Everyone I know with PhDs don’t really get paid more for doing the same job(s) I do.
And some are in research so it’s just a constant stress of continuing to get funding and stuff.
- Comment on Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer? 2 weeks ago:
Oregon here, it has seemed oddly humid feeling to me personally. I’m super sensitive to humidity and heat though.
It isn’t like the south, but definitely more than I recall historically.
It rained today randomly so that doesn’t help either.
- Comment on Global hack on Microsoft product hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say 2 weeks ago:
This is not how I wanted to start my week.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 2 weeks ago:
Wow, it’s that bad?
I live in rural Pacific NW and just upgraded to 5gbit symmetric fiber.
- Comment on Amazon cuts hundreds of AWS cloud jobs after strategic review, says AI wasn’t the main factor 2 weeks ago:
That’s funny because everyone I know at AWS recently said there was this big memo or meeting or something and they straight up said demand for some of their services and/or upsells has decreased because of prolific access to AI.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 2 weeks ago:
Simply put:
If something gets fucked up and you used a debit card, you’re the one screwed until it is sorted out (if it is sorted out). Also debit disputes can take 8+ weeks I’ve heard.
If something is screwed up and you used a credit card, then the bank is on the hook until it is sorted out. And typically they’ll credit you the amount until the investigation is complete and it is usually complete within 30 days. I’ve had chargebacks remain credited simply because the other party never responded.
- Comment on Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go? 2 weeks ago:

Hmm, darn, was hoping this came first.
- Comment on Gen Z's 'overemployed' solution for a broken economy: 5 jobs and $3K per day. It's totally legal 2 weeks ago:
At peak I (barely) juggled 7. I’m down to 3 now though because the sleep deprivation and stress was too much.
I still meet all deadlines, support the team, and meet or exceed expectations in performance reviews. That might be why it’s a little harder to maintain, I know people who don’t give two shits about that stuff.
I’ve probably taken years off my life, but I’ve bumped up being able to retire a little earlier so I guess it evens out.
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 weeks ago:
Afraid of quitting not so much, but they are underpaid for their skills. At least for what they need the person was more skilled than me, but being paid ~$40k less. So…yeah…
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 weeks ago:
A recent job I had, Product kept saying this over 2ish years…
…at the end of the stint and with ~2 weeks until launch, they laid off all but one person on the team (some 12 engineers or so, myself included).
I often wonder how much shit that person is wading through leading up to launch and post-launch fighting fires.
