  Dude you sound like a Republican talking about china being behind everything. It’s time to fucking reassess and touch some fucking grass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its definitely a good analogy could probably do with some workshopping though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit's human content wins amid the AI flood⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly it doesn’t suprise me. Women seem to have all the social medias while the men I’ve met only tend to have a few of them.

  Sample size is probably like 100 per gender but it’s definitely something I’ve noticed at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My computer can run heavily modded Minecraft and honestly that’s all I need.

  You’d rather use brave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Union leaders have a message for Newsom: Regulate AI if you want to be president⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh he will. Then the dems will be surprised when they loose again because they put in a guy who literally turns his back on every minority group the second he can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update February 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oooo photon sure does look nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve reached the point where FPS is far more impactful to feel than pixel count imo. The difference of looks between 4k and 8k isn’t as high as the decrease in performance is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US-led Gaza plan to force Palestinians into dystopian re-education camp leaked⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And draw the ire of the entire western world? This isn’t just isreal and the us its effectively every “western” nation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some random Indian guy on YouTube with a tutorial that somehow perfectly solves your weird issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK ‘not entirely clear’ what it means for US to ‘run’ Venezuela⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a reminder that the US has not signed most of the Geneva Convention articles because it doesn’t want to have to follow them if it doesn’t want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only 37% of Japanese people favor diplomatic support for peace on the Korean Peninsula: Poll⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Japan as a whole would rather not support korea in anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨South Korea's ex-first lady accused of taking over $200,000 in bribes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that’s the cash amount. Usually there’s a lot more than that spent wineing and dining them before and after. Those numbers make much more sense at least to me when you remember that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Removes Sci-Hub Domains from U.S. Search Results Due to Dated Court Order⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m genuinely contemplating paying for kagi at this point. Only one I haven’t heard people (fairly) talking shit about recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activist group says it has scraped 86m music files from Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same way it’s true that elon musk is a millionaire I guess lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activist group says it has scraped 86m music files from Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the other article I read Spotify has about 256 million tracks. Not sure why guardian is saying over 100 million.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacktivists scrape 86M Spotify tracks, claim their aim is to preserve culture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Over 250 million total so about 1/3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacktivists scrape 86M Spotify tracks, claim their aim is to preserve culture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pirating music is genuinely just not worth the effort so I honestly belive them. Probably didn’t scrape all of them simply because that’s a petabyte of storage or more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do people love openSUSE so much? Its noticeably slower on my systems I’ve tried it one at the very least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if people aren’t buying new games it’s def a bag thing for the developers and publishers. Feel however you want about them but modern AAA games don’t get made without crazy investments. Hell even AA games are starting to eat 10s of millions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI kids' toys give explicit and dangerous responses in tests⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you inherently can’t understand what you are creating there is no sure way to control it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[The New Republic] Arrest Mark Zuckerberg for Child Endangerment: Shocking new revelations about Instagram in a lawsuit against social media companies should pave the way for an ambitious prosecutor to file criminal charges.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold on is your veiw that video?/text can not be directly harmful or that nothing on meta platforms is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Showing off that Florida education lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi I can explain the difference. The three other things you listed are necessary for a multitude of reasons. The current boom in data centers is for a solution in search of a problem wasting shit for no gain to humanity as a whole.

  Hope that helps :3

  When we get past this historians of the future will be able to use this to figure out what happened here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How System76 & Red Hat Hope To Finally Improve The Linux Multi-GPU Experience⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are these mutually exclusive? Also far more people have a CPU with an iGPU than are worried about passing through the GPU to a VM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android will let ‘experienced users’ sideload unverified apps as Google makes case for verification⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can find an app on github you more than qualify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve reveal the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine with SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t been hyped for anything like I am for the steam frame in years. Really just the idea Linux might finally be getting proper VR support is more than exciting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubuntu LTS Releases Now Get 15 Years of Support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good thing even if you, like me, have a strong distaste for ubuntu/ canonical. The more buisness adopt linux the better.

• ⁨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."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Banking apps are something that need to be working before most people will even be able to attempt to switch to a linux phone. If the options are call and be on hold for at least an hour when I probably am working got to a physical location also open only when I’m working or using a banking app that’s available 24/7 the last one is the only viable option for many people.
