It does actually help to read the article. That will answer your question.

- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 day ago:
Let’s not blame AI for everything: Reddit had a lot of problems before AI became big. Repost bots are so common that you’ll see the same posts over and over again. Some of those twitter screenshots must have been posted hundreds or thousands of times. OnlyFans spam also works without AI. And we have had those bots spamming the same stupid comments before people were even thinking about GPTs.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 days ago:
It’s totally a problem: If I take a look at my Mastodon account from Pixelfed, there are a lot of screenshots shown and some other random images. Which totally does make sense as I do post stuff like that on Mastodon and screenshots totally make sense there. But if you take them to the center of the stage into a photocentric app, that really does look like shit

- Comment on Google is experimentally replacing news headlines with AI clickbait nonsense 3 days ago:
I kind of like the idea of a system allowing me to automatically remove clickbait and sensationalism from headlines and replace it with a good summary. But I really hate how Google is pushing that without customization, without consent and in such a crappy state.
- Comment on Monotype font licencing shake-down — Insanity Works 6 days ago:
That behaviour really, really is shady. And I will never touch anything they have published further on.
- Comment on Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z 6 days ago:
I haven’t used an Amiga in several decades and memory is kind of murky. So how does the Amiga approaches drives?
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 week ago:
Yeah - there is no way that you are able to raise children or even go to the dentist checkup with such a work schedule. And if such a schedule was implemented, that would be the collapse of everything else. Cinemas, theatres, bars, events, sport clubs and so on.

- Comment on A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team 1 week ago:
There are people who need money to pay their rent or buy food. He isn’t saying that he is not trying to leave, but there are good reasons to stick to a bad job while searching for a better one.
- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 1 week ago:
Thank you, government. That is really an improvement of my life!
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
I mean, I can see that it is kind of hard to program your own accessibility tools esp. when you’re disabled. But in this case it literally is “Pay money to be spied upon by a ruthless company in bed with the Trump administration” vs. “use this free software that is not spying on you”
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
I really do not like such comments. Do free alternatives always have to be better than everything else? Even if people would find out that Facebook was always watching them via their cameras and were selling their nude pictures to the Hezbollah, someone will jump into the comments and say that they can’t use Mastodon, because some bogus reason. Yeah, accessibility could be better, but have you even taken a look at whatever nightmare UIs Microsoft has been pushing for years?
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 2 weeks ago:
When we are in the middle of a tech bubble and one of the richest and most connected men on earth decides to cash out, then that is not “stonks crap”, but relevant tech news. Some companies stock price rising by 2% is not news, but this? Yes.
- Comment on As the GamerCard preps to ship, a slew of Shorts are now available showcasing how the handheld plays 3 weeks ago:
I really wonder what niche they are aiming for. It looks like a device that is optimized for impulse purchases, that maybe is hanging on a rack in a gas station that you’re buying to quiet down your kids on a long car ride. Or that you pick up in an airport because your phone battery is low. But $164?
- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 4 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest: This is military technology camouflaging itself as civilian tech. It totally doesn’t make any sense for the proposed uses, but it totally is worthwhile for military purposes. Jihadist sneaking up onto your base in Bagdadh in the night? Light up the sky! Russian drone attack when it’s dark? Light up the sky! That border to north korea? Eternal sunshine! Your B2 and B52 bombers are on the way? Confuse your enemy by switching the sun on and off! Protect your convois by always have them drive in the night!

I disagree with you - great post about an interesting tool.

- Comment on Wikipedia co-founder joins editing conflict over the Gaza genocide page 4 weeks ago:
The wiki principe of multiple people editing articles and articles integrating multiple viewpoints based on good sources totally fails if there is no common ground left for people to agree. You can’t write an article if some editors are accusing the subject of the article of commiting genocide while others think that they are waging a justified war of defense. Or if some people think that Donald Trump is the saviour of the United States that will make it great again and other people have more sensible views on him.
