- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 day ago:
Yeah I don’t understand their take at all.
“They haven’t gotten them all so THEY’RE NOT DOING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE so reactionary with your worldview JEEZ”
This is the kind of low-tier thinking that got us here in the first place.

As long as the Linux install videos stay up, I actually applaud this
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 2 days ago:
A lot of us mount a TV on the wall and watch from a couch across the room.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 2 days ago:
Highly depends on screen size and viewing distance, but nothing reasonable for a normal home probably ever needs more than 8k for a high end setup, and 4K for most cases.
Contrast ratio/HDR and per-pixel backlighting type technology is where the real magic is happening.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
They probably saw it all and said “yeah, even in the future we’ll never be rid of the libs but see it all works out because all these other things are still true”

Education has been bad for a long time in this country it seems

More republicans making lists. Noted.
- Comment on Fictional 4 days ago:
If a god existed and gave a so much of a shit about our masturbatory habits he’d be at least tangentially aware of what the fuck a meter was.
- Comment on AI behavioral analysis on factory workers, every step is monitored including attention detection from facial expressions 5 days ago:
Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.
Under capitalism

- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 week ago:
Smart devices are fine - it usually just means remote control or status. Plenty of use in that.
The problem is that no one can be arsed to buy a local hub and figure out how to connect it, so every company just builds an app and makes it cloud connected. That way they can farm your stupidity.
It’s not hard to make a device that works locally (it’s way easier than making a cloud service) but it’s far less lucrative.
That being said if I bought a $2000 mattress cover and it didn’t work offline I’d have gotten my fucking money back.

As usual 🤷♂️
- Comment on got this ad and uh 1 week ago:
No, a lot of racists are also Zionists because they want the Jews to go somewhere else like Israel
Couple that with lots of Evangelical Christians (mostly USA) who think if the Jews all return to Israel it will usher in the rapture and they’ll spend eternity in pure ecstasy.
It’s weird living on a planet with so much delusion. I wonder if alien species went through this and if they’re ok now
- Comment on Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting 1 week ago:
So it can log what is being said and he can secretly try to game the market!
“Look, my model makes the best stock picks because it’s so intelligent and does lots of thinking and reasoning just like a human, that’s why we need a huge data canter bigger than the one the NSA has in Utah that records all the world’s internet traffic”
- Comment on On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. 1 week ago:
And for fuck sake make sure it works on Firefox!
- Comment on Western Executives Shaken After Visiting China 2 weeks ago:
A lot of that is true, but I’m not sure it’s a major driver in the state of affairs in China vs USA.
Most of it is that we moved our manufacturing there, and they learned everything we knew and innovated on and about 15-20 years ago were basically like “ok, we’ve got it from here”
Meanwhile we keep acting like they’re stuck where they were in 1960. Even the press writes about them that way. Remember “China’s Ghost Cities”? “Who’s supposed to live there?” Well, now they’re mostly filled. The people who we gave the jobs to live there.
- Comment on Western Executives Shaken After Visiting China 2 weeks ago:
Yep, they all imagine China as a black & white photo of a man carrying two buckets of water on an stick up from a muddy river with one of those conical straw hats and a begrieved look on his face and think “yep, those people make all the cheap plastic crap at Walmart, suckers”
Their mental image is like 50-60 years behind reality

I would download a car
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 2 weeks ago:
I only agree if that separation means the vehicle cannot be remotely disabled by the manufacturer; on purpose or by accident.
- Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 2 weeks ago:
MS will probably use everyone’s documents to train AI and build profiles on you. I’m not sure there are any guarantees that your information is stored or transmitted entirely E2EE.

- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 2 weeks ago:
Next they’re gonna tell me they haven’t heard of about:processes either
about:config has all the fame…
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 2 weeks ago:
Why couldn’t you do that on a Mac? You can edit the shortcut path and add the flags and parameters there.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 2 weeks ago:
I made this into a shortcut on Mac OS Panther the year Firefox came out (2004). This has been possible on all operating systems for decades
- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 3 weeks ago:
Like most things, it’s an accident, a side-effect, a mutation. And, it doesn’t offer any disadvantage that kills you before you have a chance to mate.
So it continues on, because it doesn’t matter.

We played Rez with the Trance Vibrator
