One more reason for the rest of the Fediverse to block Threads itself then.
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 1 day ago:
Can’t you just run your existing retro consoles if you still have them, through an upscaler such as an OSSC, RetroTink or derivatives, or a FrameMeister, though?
Also, the XB360 and PS3 are new enough that they can just interface through HDMI like any other modern AV component.

And Bezos even threatened to physically take your PC away from you.
Give up your PC and rent from our cloud.
- Comment on a fediverse pinterest like app? 1 day ago:
Misskey seems like it might be a viable alternative if only their server list wasn’t under maintenance.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 2 days ago:
Another device of the type that Thunderf00t used to ‘bust.’
- Comment on Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment. 4 days ago:
Although it’s not like one can’t just move to an alternative assuming they can take their audience with them or their audience isn’t too big to lose, before Google snuffs them out in favor of AI slop.

Next step: YT starts phasing out human creators in favor of Google’s homegrown AI slop.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 6 days ago:
A Civil War II will probably end up at best leading to a Mad Max scenario or at worst, a Fallout scenario.
- Comment on YSK the four rules of firearm safety 1 week ago:
Also, couldn’t most of this also apply to things like industrial paint guns given the very real possibility for a horrible death by high-pressure injection with those?
- Comment on YSK the four rules of firearm safety 1 week ago:
Those actually exist in the form of the Chiapppa Triple Crown and Triple Threat.
- Comment on YSK the four rules of firearm safety 1 week ago:
That would unironically be a major point in break-action’s favor; unless you’re dealing with multi-barrel, you can only load one round at a time, ditto for most bolt-action weapons.
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 1 week ago:
I’m not bragging, I hate the fact that what was once a free country is turning into Nazi Germany.

Welcome back to Nazi Germany, because that’s what the country that used to be the Land of the Free is turning into.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I also included ARM desktop boxes like what Google is trying to push Android on in a partnership with Qualcomm lately in that too, basically, any ARM device regardless of whether it’s a phone or tablet, or a cheap desktop box, will work for your ‘local PC’ (aka. a thin client) in a cloud rental scheme.
- Comment on Lemmy now (partially) federates with Bluesky via Bridgyfed 1 week ago:
It does in Nooki, but it’s not really active at all.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Seems like a fatal risk to have online only services.
Maybe that’s the whole idea.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Phones? Tablets? There’s your local PC right there.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Good thing at least for now you can uninstall Windows.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Good luck killing off older games, though.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
There are other VPS providers you can use, though, most of the Fediverse uses Hetzner, for instance.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m not giving up my PC, I’m running it until it dies, Big Tech can fuck off.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 2 weeks ago:
No, Jensen, you got that backwards, GenAI itself is hurting society and has done a lot of damage, the active and well-deserved pushback against it ain’t hurting anyone.
Your grift is what’s killing the world, asshole.
- Comment on Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI 2 weeks ago:
Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS.

I’m calling bullshit on Adolf open-sourcing anything.
- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 2 weeks ago:
This is probably going to encourage Sony to go the Apple route and start making their own silicon so they have full control.
- Comment on Discord's IPO could happen in March 2 weeks ago:
One can hope this’ll bolster Matrix and XMPP, but it probably won’t.
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 3 weeks ago:
Some instances already implement this, but a hard anti-AI stance or at least requiring labeling of AI-generated content?

Great if it works, but I seriously doubt it’s going to work.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 month ago:
Just like I said in another post related to this, I hope this doesn’t kill LibreWolf, IceCat, and Waterfox.
- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 1 month ago:
You could still stick an NVMe drive on an older system as a secondary drive, eg. as a /home drive if you’re running Linux on it, by sticking it on a riser card, although you’d still need to boot off a SATA drive, and you’d take up one of your expansion slots doing that.
