- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 9 hours ago:
You have (cyberpunk 2077), you just failed to comprehend it.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 day ago:
Platforms keep getting shittier and more exploitative, while government thirst for control with things like Chat Control, OSA and whatever the US is doing.
The more we see of that the easier it becomes to market a “your internet services in a box” to a layman.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 day ago:
Yup. I really wish we had an open source alternative to proxmox that used containers under the hood. Would make customizing and mounting external volumes much easier too.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 2 days ago:
We need a startup to just make and try to sorta standardize a mini pc product pre-installed with a proxmox-like setup with an easy web interface and self-hosted solutions pre installed. 5-10 apps for main internet service needs like email, social media, content hosting/publishing and personal media libraries.
Give it a cute name like “Web-Pal”, keep it open and Customizable for powerusers, watch the internet become a better place while you’re the household name for devices that are as essential as a router.

I see, that’s fair.

I mean this respectfully, but that wasn’t an actual answer.
- Comment on Warehouse automation hasn’t made workers safer — it’s just reshuffled the risk 1 week ago:
The idea is that we automate everything and the more we do the more we pass that productivity/efficiency down to people via UBI/wellfare/less working hours and when we hit star trek levels people are free run in fields, paint or just goon all day if they want to.
But we’re doing the opposite, creating bullshit jobs to keep busy and pretend capitalism is working while starving and driving to extinction everyone who is not significantly wealthy while elite brag about driving innovation and the future of mankind.

Out of legit curiosity, how many models do you know trained exclusively on public domain data, which are actually useful?
- Comment on Is 4chan the Perfect 'Pirate Bay' Poster Child to Justify Wider UK Site-Blocking? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s not about the kids.
The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via “parent accounts” would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.
But it’s not about the kids. It’s about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.

really puts me off the idea of incest
… wha-?

I will be starting MCC Halo 3 soon, BUT I’m getting impression I will have to put a stop at some point.
- Comment on Andrew Tate sues Meta, TikTok for over $50 million for ‘deplatforming’ him 3 weeks ago:
Private platforms have every right to ban you, even if they just don’t like you or your political beliefs. Censorship is mostly happening by the government and systematic media.
And that is why federated platforms are so important. If most people don’t wanna see someone’s bullshit they can ban him. And he has the right to run his own instance.
Note that I’m not defending Tate here. Many of his words and actions are actually harmful or hateful and he deserves to be arrested.
But there’s a line between “illegal/harmful” and “unlikeable” which we need to remember.
- Comment on Three people charged with supporting Palestine Action 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t that what’s called Astroturfing? Been happening for years sadly, I’m sure of it.
- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 5 weeks ago:
Spamming, scams, and many forms of white collar crime are a result of people either getting desperate for a decent living or being greedy and wanting infinitely more than others have.
If you take out these two possibilities guess what gets almost entirely extinct.
- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 5 weeks ago:
That’s basically saying that “big tech” (as we know it today) and competition-friendly capitalism just cannot coexist. Which I’m inclined to agree with.

- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 1 month ago:
What I’m saying is that a more reasonable stance is to say “package as-is or fork it if you want I will put 0 effort to accomodate”.
Others have clarified that they are not as extreme as I thought though so maybe that’s fine.
I just think that from a perspective this seems like a “people in X country keep writing gay fanfic about my book and asking if A and B characters are gay. so I’m gonna stop selling there and also destroy All copies left in their language. Because I’m a petty man-child”.
But, once again, I hope this is not what’s actually happening here and my reading was off.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 1 month ago:
While users can be demanding, this reads like a very immature response. Going out of your way to block support and prohibit packaging, which you can let others do with 0 seconds of your time, is kinda rude.
Author may have been harassed for all I know, but this is still an emotional response. They could have just said “yeah I’m not supporting this at all, figure it out yourselves if you want to” rather than actively blocking Linux functionality/packaging, which is what this sounds like.
