- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 2 days 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 3 days 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.
- 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 3 days ago:
both Intel and AMD have historically been pretty bad about being stingy about PCIe lane availability
Hold up, I thought some of the nicer AM3+ boards using the 990FX chipset had a fair bit of lanes available.
- 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 3 days ago:
I’m just speculating on what could happen if this stuff gets worse.
- 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 3 days ago:
Eventual discontinuation of more PC parts to appease the AI grifters until all that’s left for consumers is mini PCs or ARM black boxes.
- 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 3 days ago:
The supply shock is going to be as bad as COVID.
- No, it’ll be worse, it’ll be straight-up apocalyptic. GenAI grifters are trying to cause an apocalypse.
- 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 3 days ago:
Next step, modular desktops as a concept will die, probably.
I hope people like locked-down black boxes they can’t upgrade and can’t run their own OS on in the future, so byebye Linux and BSD in that scenario outside of niche devices.
- 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 4 days ago:
Even then, NVMe riser cards are a thing to just stick an NVMe drive in a spare PCIe slot.
- 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 4 days ago:
So hardware that may still be perfectly usable but predates NVMe should be tossed out then?
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 4 days ago:
Dude, I would flee the US in a heartbeat to somewhere that isn’t a fascist state if I feasibly could, as I kinda don’t feel safe here as a citizen, let alone what anyone visiting the country may feel like.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 4 days ago:
Not connecting it isn’t going to necessarily matter in the future if TVs start using meshnets to spy and install adware/bloatware/etc. regardless of if you’re connected or not like has been looked into for a while.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 4 days ago:
It might if they’re censored off the clearnet.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 5 days ago:
I2P is like Tor but peer-to-peer and as a result more decentralized, IIRC.

- Comment on Creative workers on the affects of AI on their jobs 1 week ago:
I’m only a hobbyist, but I hate GenAI with a passion; I hate everything it stands for and now I genuinely think it’s a scam and that needs to be treated and prosecuted as the scam it is.
- Comment on Criminal court ditches American software giant– Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft? 2 weeks ago:
This would be a perfect sysadmin career pipeline if Dutch universities could move to FOSS tools and Linux; think about it - universities run on Linux, said universities could offer a sysadmin course and basically grow more sysadmins and open up a new line of work for people that may actually have some staying power.
- Comment on Bye, Copilot: Microsoft is making Copilot a hands-free experience on Windows 3 weeks ago:
If Copilot is permanently built into Windows with no way to remove it regardless of SKU, then bye Windows.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 3 weeks ago:
RPis have been pulling off Linux on ARM pretty well in terms of software support for a while now, but they’re also tinkering boards and not necessarily good for a daily driver.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 3 weeks ago:
Can’t say I’m surprised given how much Qualcomm has prioritized Windows over Linux support for years now.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 3 weeks ago:
PeerTube and Odysee have been a thing for a while. Also, Floatplane and Nebula for premium content.
- Comment on Would you date someone that uses a hammer? 4 weeks ago:
Well, that leaves anyone in a trade out of the dating pool then because most of them, eg. in the carpentry field, use hammers of some kind and in some way.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 weeks ago:
Assuming most of Hollywood isn’t already Windows based given that OS still takes up 66% of the desktop market while Mac only takes up 14%.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 weeks ago:
Apple is killing the Mac Pro.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 weeks ago:
The Mac Classic was the first Mac to sell for under $1k, and the ‘LC’ acronym stood for ‘Low-cost Color,’ that said IIRC even back then there were PC clones that were cheaper than the at-the-time cheapest Macs.
Also, IIRC the Apple IIc was sold as a cheaper variant of the Apple II line.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 weeks ago:
Maya still has a Windows port so it’ll be fine, also, Blender proved itself viable on the professional stage with Flow.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 weeks ago:
I thought there were already some M-series iPads that gave some actual workstation laptops a run for their money though.

- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 4 weeks ago:
Similarly, the type of things currently going on with AI, most notably Grok being in bed with the Military, are what Terminator warns about.
-sigh- Dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction is not supposed to be an instruction manual, guys…
- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 4 weeks ago:
Oh hell no, don’t bring Jurassic Park to the real world, please.
(JP did this with dinos, but this is the exact thing that franchise warned about)
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 4 weeks ago:
Sebo stuff is also built really well too, or it better be given it’s commonly abused in a commercial setting.
