- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 2 weeks ago:
To me, this just reads as “we can’t let the chuds get mad we elected a black president again”
…but maybe you mean neolibs. Its Lemmy, you mean neolibs…right?
- Comment on You can just do stuff. 2 weeks ago:
Now all he cares about is…this city
- Comment on CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company 2 weeks ago:
“96GB of DDR3” will never really be “low power”, take it from a guy who built a homelab with a DDR3 machines a while ago…but you should still pick up whatever hardware you can as soon as you can. Like, seriously, they’re taking personal computing away from us.
- Comment on Might a well bring it full circle 2 weeks ago:
And we’ve already had “rest in peace my granny she got hit by a bazookal
- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 2 weeks ago:
Nothing is being transported via constellation satellites that wasn’t already paid for by the American people (and then not delivered on).
Why would we want our infrastructure to be the most polluting expensive version (with shit latency BTW so you can’t selfhost), in control of basically one asshole billionaire who will gleefully censor whatever he feels like, after a critical mass of dependency has been reached?
Are you glad we put our communication into such a restrictive model under a monopoly that’s cozy with a fascist government?
Stop lying to yourself and others that this was “the most efficient outcome”.
- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 2 weeks ago:
If you have the capability to build a laser that can focus enough energy, from the ground through the atmosphere, with enough precision to lock on to an LEO constellation member long enough to disable it, you’d probably already either be captured, or working for DoD.
Also: great, you exploded it before reentry. Now we have a hundred thousand smaller, lighter fragments skipping off the atmosphere, disbursing randomly, and spinning around like hypersonic chaff bullets for actual worthwhile spacecraft and satellites to fly through, twinkling in infrared like a billion new streaky sparkles on those telescopes. It takes a lot longer for all that bullshit to rain down, and it pollutes just the same. Tell me, who were you fighting for again and why?
This is like when the humans blacken the sky in the Matrix to defeat the machines. Yeah it wrecked the earth, but is also didn’t defeat them and they just found something else to exploit.
- Comment on Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features 2 weeks ago:
DDR3 is also pretty power hungry. Source: me, who built a homelab out of old DDR3 rackmount servers and can now no longer afford to run them.
- Comment on A Ukrainian corps is battle-testing exoskeletons that can fold into a briefcase 2 weeks ago:
Charlie comes out with some poor takes sometimes, but I think he’s just misinformed and not malicious, which I can’t say about Assmold or the rest of the influencers that have wandered into politics in recent years
- Comment on Microslop stuffs AI photo restyling powers into OneDrive 2 weeks ago:
It’s not useless, It’s so they can analyze all the photos you ever take and see who you associate with and what products you own so they can determine your needs and likely income so they can put more ads in front of you that are likely to work
Just like how they already scan all your private documents that they just decided were theirs to upload one day in order to see what you write about and how much you budget and h̶̘͖͐̂ȏ̵̖̀w̴̰̲̅ ̶̩͕͠ẙ̵̝͗o̶͙̓̍u̶͈͈͆̃ ̷̨̜̽f̸̫͌ͅu̸͎͒̓c̴̳̗͌͛k̶̰̏i̸͖̥̽ņ̶͇͋͝g̵̘̓ ̷͈̏t̶͓̋h̷̬͗͌͜ī̶̼͙̇ǹ̷̗̾ḱ̷͚̝̾ ̵̙̎̋a̵͇͐ǹ̵̩̼ḋ̸̩̗̐ ̵͚̘̈́o̶̥͑̍p̴̖̫̏̂ē̴̟̱̈r̸̖̜͂å̷̲̣t̶̥̍̓è̵͉̖
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 2 weeks ago:
It’s so much worse than the rent they will charge us, brother.
If you thought Flock cameras were a bad situation, imagine not being able to query, read, write, or probably even speak about topics that they decide are “unpatriotic” or “satanic”.
LGBTQIA+, anti-Christianity, anti-capitalist, all that shit they declared were “terror group activity” that sounded like McCarthy red scare bullshit? Imagine being gay and not being able to talk about it IN YOUR OWN HOME.
Imagine not owning any electronics and being held under suspicion of plotting against the government.
These motherfuckers think they are gonna make automated kill bots which eliminate and worker drones from their hive that do not bend to their queen bee.
Our only hope, our ONLY hope, is that they are as incompetent as they appear to be.
- Comment on GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information 2 weeks ago:
He left MS in January
- Comment on RIP Robert Mueller 2 weeks ago:
Middle name: swan
Literally sung America’s swan song
- Comment on Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows 3 weeks ago:
Now tell me when they stop trying to force OneDrive for everyone’s private data
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 3 weeks ago:
Rave was the same way until it also got pulled mainstream around 2007/2008
Before that we had assholes like Joe Biden trying to outlaw it by saying proving water to patrons was “encouraging drug use” and classifying any clubs that did it as “crackhouses”
That shit was my church and they burned it. I stand in solidarity with Juggalos.
- Comment on Is it impolite to crosspost someone else's post to another community on Lemmy without saying anything? 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t there a crosspost function that will link the original and show the OP’s attribution?
- Comment on Now maybe I'm delusional. But I got myself one of these in hopes of performing to standing room only audiences 3 weeks ago:
Seems to me that the act itself will also have to be standing
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 3 weeks ago:
The whole point of “cloud” was to eliminate data centers.
If there was a low latency need for a private cloud, of course you put it as close as possible.
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 3 weeks ago:
Tell that to literally every hospital, medical provider, and insurer in the United States.
They’re all using AWS, and OneDrive.
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 3 weeks ago:
Same here. I feel like I’m taking fucking crazy pills.
Why? Why are all our financials on OneDrive? Why is our system setup being done with a Entra-federated third party tool? Why does CoPilot have access to my email with possible HIPAA-privileged data in it? Why do we have to shut off our servers on the weekend if it saves so much money and doesn’t cost anything when idle?
I can’t believe these morons gave away personal computing because they just didn’t want to deal with having on-site hardware, and it doesn’t even save any money.
- Comment on Wise horse 3 weeks ago:
How it feels to chew 5 Gum
- Comment on Memory Makers Expect Shortages to End in Late 2028, Could Pause Expansion Plans 3 weeks ago:
The whole plan is to make personal computing unaffordable so we have to rent cloud services to do anything.
They’ll find a way to keep that consumer demand at zero.
They want a chunk of your income to gatekeep the products they made unaffordable to you.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
- Comment on SSL certificates for things inside the lab 3 weeks ago:
Wildcard is actually good these days because you don’t have to set up DNS entries for your hostnames.
It’s not security, just obscurity - but in the age of crawlers, it’s helpful.
Also, you can use it internally for services on LAN and because LetsEncrypt is a CA everyone trusts, you don’t need to register a local CA (like a FreeIPA instance) with all your devices- which sometimes isn’t possible.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
They no longer care about making the best product to get the consumer to buy because they know if they make hot girls you can control they’ll sell millions
Why make art when live like king from sex machine
- Comment on Hacked data shines light on homeland security’s AI surveillance ambitions 3 weeks ago:
There am no way they’d ever actually delete it unless there were actual consequences, and there aren’t , even when the law is followed.
- Comment on 20 Years of Amazon S3: The Golden Cage of the Cloud Era 3 weeks ago:
And every fuckstick middle manager fell for it!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Brave is spyware. Stop recommending brave.
- Comment on The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer 3 weeks ago:
They don’t. Schools teach that “Karl Marx didn’t want anyone to have any money, and to be owned by the state. They quickly ran out of food because no one was motivated to work.”
Why do you think guys who purchased “Truck Nuts” all screech on Twitter about “socialism is when you do all the work and they take all the profits” when that’s exactly what capitalism is and they are too dumb to notice? Why do you think the Tetris movie wasn’t really about Tetris but instead about “Soviets bad”?
- Comment on Meet the AI rapper funded by a far-right party— Advance UK has hired the mystery ‘collective’ behind Danny Bones, a white-nationalist musician and activist – who isn’t real 3 weeks ago:
Since you cannot copyright an AI creation, someone should just make him do like a woke anarchist rap or something.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 4 weeks ago:
This guy gets it.
Be open about it. Many people will not like it. Many people will not trust your product any longer. You need to be willing to let those people go with grace, or else you’re already taking on a project you can’t handle.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 4 weeks ago:
They want to put clanker code that they freely admit they don’t validate into a product that goes on the computers of people who’s experience with Linux is “I heard it’s faster for games”
It’s irresponsible to hide it from review. It doesn’t matter if AI tools got better, AI tools still aren’t perfect and so you still have to do the legwork. Or at least let your community.
Also, you should let your community make ethics decisions about whether to support you.
Overall it was a rash reaction to being pressured rudely in a GitHub thread; but you know AI is a contentious topic and you went in anyway. It’s weak AF to then have a tantrum and spit in the community’s face about it.
