As an American. Fuck my current administration. I can still say that for now. Let’s see how long it lasts.

I still say we should get one of those shit flingers from a farm and give Reddit HQ a good smothering.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 2 weeks ago:
Thank you. And to anyone out there trying to quit. You have to try out vaping and then when you get sick of getting sticky from the juice. You’ll finally want to just stop.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 2 weeks ago:
Greatest accomplishment of my life was quitting cigarettes.

Good thing they don’t even know what Lemmy is.

This dude is going to lose his nasal cavity from his coke addiction.
- Comment on 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital 4 weeks ago:
I was just saying what they used as evidence for ending the student uprising. I’m not saying it was acceptable. I’m just pointing out the acts that they used to back up their actions. All of those students weren’t even aware of this. They didn’t know what they got pulled into. It was tragic.
- Comment on 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital 4 weeks ago:
I mean. If labor unions killed people. Like they did during some of the coal mine riots. It gives the police and at times military freedoms to retaliate.
I grew up where the sheriff of my county killed 25 people in a single day before miner unions were allowed to exist.
Look up the Williamsport Mine Field Riots. They treated these people like animals. Just like the CCP treats their lower workers.
I’m not a tankie. I just know what happened on the ground that led up to the violence. I was in a masters program for counter terror.

They were manipulated by CIA plants that were murdering Chinese army soldiers. So. There’s that part of the story that caused the states response.

Wyze light bulbs for the win. I can pick 255 colors.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 4 weeks ago:
We technically have a space in a city by me. But it’s like 12 random desks and some video conferences rooms. No way we could actually go back to the office. That sucks for you guys tho. My old man lost his long time remote role and is back on the road again every day.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 4 weeks ago:
This is why I’m so happy I’m 3000 miles away from my office. No way I’m getting a call back to office. Never was and never will be.

That woman knew her dad was shitting on women. And did nothing to stop it. He was literally shitting on them.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 5 weeks ago:
I hope people knew I meant boses. Not noses. But ya. New job is for a Chinese firm. Haven’t built up my PTO to take off yet. Plus Fridays are so busy for me. I can’t miss.

My Chinese noses would fire my ass so quick. I’d have to take the day off. But I can’t even do that because of how much business I’m on.
- Comment on Huang declares Israel Nvidia’s “second home” with record-breaking campus investment 5 weeks ago:
I remember on a Meets call with my Israeli coworkers and they had to go to the bomb shelter because of rockets.
- Comment on Huang declares Israel Nvidia’s “second home” with record-breaking campus investment 5 weeks ago:
Ya. It’s disappointing. But there are so many foundries in Israel. I’m not surprised. This is also why I don’t believe in terrorists. If anyone really wanted to stop Israel. They would target their foundries. But no one would dare mess with capitalism on that level.
- Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware 1 month ago:
Just a heads up. 91 billion in data centers is held up by local politics. Won’t be built. So expect this to soften the Ai market.

This is stupid. I will never rent a computer mainframe.
- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 1 month ago:
Niceeee. I think people are starting to consistently leave Reddit to keep the stagnant user percentage down.
- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 1 month ago:
My father bought my nephews laptops for Xmas and didn’t talk to me about it before purchasing. He got them an i3 for one and a Ryzen 7 for the other with both having 8gb of ram for the memory and I just sighed. Like what sales person convinced you to go with 8gb of ram for Windows 11? So sad for their use.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
Oh no. They’ll still ignore it. They don’t care.
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 2 months ago:
The biggest impact I ever saw was an electrical filter for advanced audio systems. It’s basically an alternator. And it was the most impressive piece of any audio system I sold.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 months ago:
But you see. That’s the solution. Now you pay foreigners to clean up the generated code by offshoring the engineers. At 1/100 the cost.

Anyone with a decent honey set up has these.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 months ago:
My company received an email from Microsoft this week.
“From our data you are not selling Ai features as much as your competitors and we suggest that you start changing this or you will be left behind.”
It was a completely bullshit email. But the stupids at my company are now worried that Microsoft is tracking the features we’re selling with our computers. Like if that wasn’t the most glaring red flag “we have spent way too much money on this and we need you to prove we aren’t dumbasses” I don’t know what is.
I still will not sell Ai outside of its basic uses. And I’m backed up by the old heads in my department. Ai is not for everything.

The funny thing about Best Buy. Is that they hire. Kinda sorta good looking women. Not exactly good looking but from a far they were. It was always so funny how it worked out.
