Not all disabilities are visible.
- Comment on The Saudi Arabia fund behind the wildly leveraged EA buyout is dealing with "financial distress", claims report 3 days ago:
Who needs money when you can just have the company you’re buying take on debt to pay for its own buyout, then let that debt slowly rot it from the inside out.
- Comment on Hytale gets a cheap price point, all because its devs don't think the game is good yet 5 days ago:
Which you’d think would be incredibly easy to do
Minecraft has a gigantic base of players and modders, a “better” Minecraft would need to draw a similar crowd or convince them all to give up years of customization and optimization to switch en masse.
Hard to imagine any game pulling it off without going F2P, which, bleh.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
And, as with any standardized hardware, it’s a lot easier to ensure games and services (like Proton) perform reliably.
Time will tell if this sells enough, but it could become the new standard for industry benchmarking/testing.

- Comment on ‘Healthy’ snack choices loaded with hidden sugar, new study reveals 1 week ago:
Wait, so you’re telling me that “health” bar with 30g of sugar actually was secretly concealing 30g of sugar? Who could have seen this coming??

- Comment on Major Bitcoin mining firm pivoting to AI, plans to fully abandon crypto mining by 2027 as miners convert to AI en masse — Bitfarm to leverage 341 megawatt capacity for AI following $46 million Q3 loss 1 week ago:
In theory you could lease your server capacity to the big AI players, but then they would have to trust you -a noted crypto grifter - with their data.
- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 1 week ago:
https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html
When you enable Privacy Pass, instead of logging in with your Kagi account for each search, you use special cryptographic tokens. These tokens prove you have the right to use Kagi’s services without revealing who you are. This means your searches can’t be linked back to your account or to each other, providing an additional layer of privacy.
Obviously you lose some of the customization, but otherwise still a great service.
- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 1 week ago:
I enjoy it. They have a 100-search free trial so you can test it out for yourself. Between them down ranking sites full of trackers and allowing you to put your own preferential ratings on sites, I find myself getting the results I’m after so much quicker.
- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 1 week ago:
Then I have great news for you! Kagi accept bitcoin, does not validate email addresses (so you can register as
fhhdsbgwg@hrjesbgwgw.comif that appeals to you), and they implemented privacy pass tokens that fully anonymize your searches. They also allows searching through tor! - Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 1 week ago:
You are paying for search, just differently.

- Comment on YSK: Your library card is probably a golden ticket to free streaming, e-books, and audiobooks. 2 weeks ago:
Also YSK:
Generally speaking you aren’t limited to just what’s at your nearest library. Other nearby libraries (or even those you pass by on travel) may have better/different offerings and will generally welcome folks with open arms.
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 2 weeks ago:
What can you even do on an un-networked fridge screen? Play bejeweled while contemplating suicide?
- Comment on Google brings Gemini to the Google TV Streamer 2 weeks ago:
If they do start adding AI slop it’ll all be cloud hosted, of that I’m certain.
- Comment on Google brings Gemini to the Google TV Streamer 2 weeks ago:
Not sure I have much hope for Nvidia holding back on “AI” features in the long run

Don’t you have phones?
- Comment on Microsoft Offers Chrome Users ‘Real Cash’ Rewards To Change Browser 2 weeks ago:
Maybe? Hopefully? This makes people ask why its so important to Microsoft for Edge, a “free” service, to be your default browser…
Probably not, but still…
- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 2 weeks ago:
“Quantum emulation” all the hype, 1/1000th the efficiency, 1000X the excuses to sell hardware
- Comment on The Steam Deck now lets you do low-power, screen-off downloads, finally 2 weeks ago:
You download the thing but then no screen.
- Comment on Claimed Rockstar Games Employee States That Firings Were Indeed Over Unionizing 2 weeks ago:
More specifically, many of the 30+ people at the UK branch were brought to the HR office under the “friendly guise” of just needing to talk, only to be told they were fired and then “frogmarched” out of the building.
Wrong authoritarian corporate-controlled government.
- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 3 weeks ago:
Bought a tire attachment for my air compressor the other day. You’d think I must live in a house with millions of tires to fill based on my product suggestions.
“Like, you really fucking love tires right? Have you heard of these 6 other tire-filling compressor attachments??”
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning TP-Link WiFi routers, citing national security risk and ties to China. They have between 30 and 50% market share in the US. 3 weeks ago:
Evidence? From the “most transparent administration”? You must be new here…
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 3 weeks ago:
There’s no scenario where I would bring this to a manager. If you aren’t capable of (politely!) setting your own boundaries with your coworkers, you’re going to struggle no matter what team you land on.
I suspect, given this is a medical setting, the hiring manager has more important things to worry about than “are people taking near the new person again?”
If you came to me with that demand before hiring I would thank you for your time and wish you luck finding a position that meets your needs. I have my own shit to deal with, training new team members is already an additional load to take on, and having to manage personalities full-time is not in my bandwidth

It’s a lemmy.world problem, otherwise each instance has to block the user.
- Comment on Battlefield's new battle royale is free-to-play and out now with 100-player matches 4 weeks ago:
It’s FTP from EA, so I’m going to guess “shallow, redundant, buggy, and crammed to the brim with microtransactions”
- Comment on Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December 4 weeks ago:
Fun fact, you can use most of teams through
teams.microsoft.comDo yourself and your coworkers a favor and minimize how often Teams is running. If anyone asks just say the desktop version was buggy - no one who has used teams will deny it.

And they didn’t even try to solar power their ISP?!? The nerve of some people.
