8 wars that he stopped? I can’t watch this guy talk.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 6 days ago:
Letting gallowboob “moderate” the basically the whole front page was an insane decision. Some of those guys were selling product placement.
The centralization of power to few mods was always a problem, but smaller communities got by.
The huge quality drop came when Spez felt he missed the IPO wave around 2018 and decided to growth hack the site. Then they finally killed most of them too with the API drama.
Popular and moving away from hot to best was also bad. They horribly failed to discipline abuse from the_donald for years…
New reddit is still not even usable from a phone. It crashes frequently and i swaer to God it only shows like 8 posts and just fucking loops through them (how have thry not noticed this, I only check 4 subreddits and its unbearable).

That’s like cigarette companies arguing smokers were more likely to get cancer even if they haven’t smoked

Hurray, diarrhea!

Now I want to try this
- Comment on Bread mold 1 week ago:
Actually… if you put moldy bread into soup, does it become safe?
My grandma used to throw all for moldy food into soup and she loved into her 80s completely healthy.
- Comment on Bread mold 1 week ago:
Even if penicillin, it tastes awful, and if you don’t need penicillin does it actually help you at all?
I bit bread like this once and I can still vividly taste it.
- Comment on Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode 1 week ago:
Is it possible to create a shim to make keyboard shortcuts act like macOS? I don’t think I can live with ctrl+shift+c when command/super is right there.
- Comment on Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode 1 week ago:
That’s some software gore.
How does that even get shipped?
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 week ago:
This command actually solves more problems than it causes.
- Comment on Google is experimentally replacing news headlines with AI clickbait nonsense 1 week ago:
So what’s happening here is Google is feeding headlines into a model with the insurrection to generate a title of exactly 4 words.
Every example is 4 words.
Why they think 4 words is enough to communicate meaningfully, I do not know. The other thing is whether novel they’re shoving into their products for free is awful, hence the making things up and not knowing in the context of a video game exploit is not the same as the general use of the word.

She can only speak in lies, so this image can’t be real.

I recently watched this and holy fuck I’m Tom Green’s character sometimes.

Which is still my favorite for some reason
- Comment on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service 1 week ago:
Thanks.
I always avoided c++ for its complexity and bad error messages.
If rust is better at that then I’ll give it an honest shot.
- Comment on Deloitte allegedly cited AI-generated research in a million-dollar report for a Canadian provincial government 1 week ago:
I hope we demand a refund and fire them.
What a waste of money, I hate these companies and I hate that our government keeps using them.
I get they’re all scared of fixed costs but at this point how much have we wasted on these companies? They could have hired 7-10 full time employees at $80-$100k for a year for the cost of this one report. They could have hired 4-6 highly qualified professionals for that cost. They could have hired some really good term employees.
How many reports like this are we wasting resources on?
- Comment on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service 1 week ago:
I think the next language I’ll learn will be rust, but Odin has been recommended to me a couple times now.
I do want to try that one out
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 1 week ago:
That would finally be a convention to replace slacking the phone down in rage.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 1 week ago:
I’m waiting for one that unrolls like a bamboo placemat.
- Comment on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service 1 week ago:
I’ve been enjoying zig.
It feels like when I go to write C, but without a bunch of code churn/copy paste on getting just the right memory management interface.
It’s not perfect, and the API churn makes it really annoying to find decent documentation. But it’s fun.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
Tautologically we are though. Staying on reddit is stupid.
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 1 week ago:
I migrated from Apple Music to Qobuz as part of my dropping of US services.
It’s very much playlist and release based which is great for both curation and discovery. At least I’ve found myself discovering more music from their playlists, which are often curated by musicians.
They do have a “for you” list but for whatever reason only show it on mobile, and it’s not my favourite algorithm.

People like when the phone cleans up their face
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 1 week ago:
Disclosure is good, but it would be useful to be granular and clear.
Games could use ai for interactive dialogue or content generation and it would be really cool.
Games could run models like olmo 3 which are completely open source, and that wouldn’t be bad in my opinion.
Ai textures probably make sense too depending on context.
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 2 weeks ago:
Gave this a shot… something is horribly wrong with my system, for whatever reason steam could read my controller but never responded to any buttons in big picture mode.
Also, apparently my controller works as a mouse though, which is pretty neat.
I’m on atomic fedora, so I’ll try out bazzite (had no idea it was that easy to switch distros on atomic)
- Comment on Aluminium OS will be Google’s take on Android for PC 2 weeks ago:
Gotta stick AI in there for the stock price huh?
I wouldn’t mind if you could plug application intents into an MCP converter and then let models work with that.
I don’t really trust the idea of ai at the core.
- Comment on Oh no! 2 weeks ago:
The very great text on that page:
Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.
That’s not quite the same as a browser trying to support web standards.
Though I do want to see servo succeed too.
And why is ladybird fascist?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I honestly think that’s what’s happening with Trump.
They could put anything in front of him and he signs it like Ron burgundy reading the teleprompter.
- Comment on Oh no! 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. I looked into this and it seems like an honest effort to try and prevent a total Chrome monopoly.
A fresh browser is a massive project. Web standards are massive, and complex, and growing.
It would be nice to see Firefox killing it, but they aren’t.
