- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 2 days ago:
Since the switch 2 is an entirely different console, a lot of work will need to be done to emulate it. I would wait several years.

Oh my God it’s gonna happen. Teenagers are gonna start learning to install hacked Linux distros that lie about their age for access to porn. This might actually be the biggest boon for tech literacy ever.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 days ago:
I expect people to be able to obtain a laptop for 50 or 100 bucks, which they apparently can. Manufacturers should have to reckon with that fairly.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 days ago:
Mine has a replaceable battery, in theory I can buy whatever quality level of battery I want :3
Again, 1200% the price.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 days ago:
Do those things warrant 6x the price?
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 days ago:
No, 8gb of RAM (obviously older DDR but still) and 256gb or storage.
Of course the CPU and older components will be less powerful, but like… What do we use computers for now that we didn’t in 2017? AI? Oh nooooo, what will I ever do without local AI…
I got a bargain, but say you can only get it for double what I paid. That’s 1/6 the price. Why pay 600% more for a computer that’s not even that much better?
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 5 days ago:
I got a laptop from 2017 off eBay for $50 with those same specs. Installed Linux on it and it was good to go. 600 is absolutely outrageous in a world where used hardware exists.

Imagine if your computer was extremely high spec, but could only run any process for a maximum of about 20 minutes. That would be… Just awful.

You do have a point, after reading the article. That’s a bit embarrassing, honestly.

Amazing. Just great.
Imagine being confronted for lying and just going “hey it was an accident okay I didn’t MEAN to decieve people, I just used the machine known for deceiving people and willingly put my name on its deceptions and it deceived people!” and having people defend you.

The article says “controversy” as of this is some cancel culture crap.

Controversy… What controversy? It sounds more like blatant journalistic malpractice

No, not really. One of my greatest joys is dominated by a megacorp and everyone is just fine with it.
- Comment on How I Reversed Amazon's Kindle Web Obfuscation Because Their App Sucked 1 week ago:
Or just pirate the book. Anyone who makes their work only available by giving an evil, corrupt corporation money can go fuck themselves.
Actually, scratch that, send them an email from a burner account that can’t be linked to you telling them you pirated their book, and why, with absolutely no money. Just a massive fuck you :)
- Comment on Open source devs consider making hogs pay for every Git pull 1 week ago:
Laziness. Why designate storage for a downloaded repository when you can just use the blazing fast company network to make someone else’s storage your storage?
- Comment on Worldwide Smartphone Market to Decline 13% in 2026, Marking the Largest Drop Ever Due to the Memory Shortage Crisis, according to IDC 1 week ago:
We’ve already made so many phones that can do all of the exact same things over the last 10 or so years. I think if we just stopped making them for a while and simply worked on updating all of those old phones, we might actually be better off.

- Comment on The creator of systemd wants your entire system validated by SecureBoot 2 weeks ago:
Hey you fucking idiot, iPhones need to be jailbroken for that and Android is about to be locked down so developers will need to identify themselves to Google.
Get your condescending ass out of my face. I’m not in the damn mood for a random fucking stranger to tell me I’m an idiot for commenting on someone else’s speculation. This is a lot meaner than I normally am, but I happen to be grumpy right now and you don’t matter to me at all, so I will continue on to say: Fuck your unhelpful ass.

Only being able to install “allowed” apps is not great for freedom.
- Comment on Researchers Dropped 1,000 AIs in Minecraft and Watched a Civilization Form 2 weeks ago:
Interesting. I was working off of the assumption that any entity the size of a human brain could be modeled, at some point in the future, simply because we can make artificial computational devices that are bigger than, and thus capable of being more complex than, it. But obviously that assumption is just blind intuition, and lacks the nuance and established theory you’re bringing to the table. I’m kind of embarrassed that I believed that would be enough time throw my hat into the ring. I’ll have to check those out.

And you like to have sex with sewer rats you find at 3am, so long as we’re lobbing accusations at each other.

That’s not what I said, why the fuck would I think we can model a brain right now
