You’d rather use brave?
- Comment on Union leaders have a message for Newsom: Regulate AI if you want to be president 1 week 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.

Oooo photon sure does look nice.
- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 1 week 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.

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

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 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Over 250 million total so about 1/3.
- Comment on Hacktivists scrape 86M Spotify tracks, claim their aim is to preserve culture 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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

Showing off that Florida education lol.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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." 2 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.
- Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone 3 months ago:
After watching this review I am actually going to say yeah probably. The ghosting has gotten way better than I remember it being for real time apps. If youre interested watch the review he goes over most of your use cases.
- Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone 3 months ago:
If it’s the same as past e-ink phones it’ll be slow. But nothing you’re going to do on an e-ink phone is super likely to require that much power anyways unless you are using your phone far differently than I am.
- Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone 3 months ago:
Man I really am far too into e-ink lol. These aren’t even close to new they have mostly been for the domestic (chinese) market in the past though. Most people who have got one have been happy though because they are exactly as advertised. An e-ink phone.
