- Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site 2 weeks ago:
Systemd is so much easier to use, absolutely was not a mistake.
- Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents 2 weeks ago:
I’m just not convinced that the technology isn’t part of the problem. All of these machines are designed to give a you a dopamine rush when you use them. I think they have a real and detrimental effect on attention span.
- Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents 2 weeks ago:
How does systemic defunding lead to schools buying up tablets and notebooks?
This seems more like straight up corruption to me, or dumb administrators believing the nonsense Google sells them about Chromebooks being better for learning or whatever
- Comment on Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long 2 weeks ago:
Fascists are feeling emboldened now. America’s apathy toward their authoritarian punishment of minorities and poor people is finally catching up to us. I’m not saying everyone getting hurt by it deserves it, however as a country we’ve been building toward this, often enthusiastically, for a long time.
It’s going to take generational leadership to unfuck all of this and I don’t see that happening. We need a parallel justice system that operates solely to hold our bullshit legal system accountable. No one will want to do that until it’s too late. But it’s crazy how we just let the courts, cops and politicians all work together to fuck us over and exact state violence against us with no repercussions.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 2 weeks ago:
Kinda weak sauce dude. It’s just a bunch of stuff most of us already know. It doesn’t account for how adaptable people have proven to be. It’s far from inevitable that any of this will lead to permanent civilizational collapse. Though certainly the dudebro types like Fuckerberg think it will, but I think they’re just paranoid, and not as smart as they think they are.
I find it hard to take people seriously when they start their argument off with gold too. Gold is no different from fiat currency. It’s only worth as much as people think it is. Historically it wasn’t even used for anything practical. It’s one of my smell tests for people who have bad critical thinking skills, quite frankly. If fiat currency was such a terrible idea then the whole world would be in far worse shape than it is.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 2 weeks ago:
That’s all Linux is though, arguably
- Comment on Roblox, Reddit and Discord users compelled to use biometric ID system backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel 3 weeks ago:
I never really saw it as an allegory for fascism, but that’s an interesting take.
At least the bad guy gets shanked in the end.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 3 weeks ago:
So your first two paragraphs admit that you aren’t refuting anything the other guy said. He was clearly talking about enterprise contacts, not the free tier of GitHub which is completely different.
It’s insane how aggressive you guys are being about this despite having zero evidence to back you up other than “corporations lie”, as if other lying corporations don’t have their own small army of lawyers writing these contracts. Those guys will instantly file a lawsuit the moment they suspect their company’s data is getting eaten by copilot.
It would be an incredibly stupid move by Microsoft to do that, especially because it would put all their other contracts with that company at risk (eg office 365, exchange, etc)
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy is completely unhinged on any AI topic. You can’t engage rationally with these people.
They have zero evidence that any of their accusations is really happening but they’ll insult and bully people over it anyway.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 3 weeks ago:
It’s incredible that you all are still acting like he’s talking about individuals and not giant mega corporations that have an army of lawyers working on these contracts.
There’s no way these companies would allow ms to train copilot on their proprietary code. Not a single one of you had provided ANY proof that this is actually happening yet.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 4 weeks ago:
Yes, make it hurt EU. It sucks that my dumbass country made it come to this but it needs to happen. Way too many people here pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 4 weeks ago:
I can’t imagine using a steam deck to do anything productive.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 4 weeks ago:
Framework used to make laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU, but I haven’t looked in over a year.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 4 weeks ago:
Isn’t China already building their own consumer GPUs?
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 4 weeks ago:
I thought AMD also said they were cutting production?
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 4 weeks ago:
I found out that some teams at my company are doing the same thing. They’re using it to fix simple issues like exceptions and security issues that don’t need many code changes. I’d be shocked if it were any different at your friend’s company. It’s just surprising to me that that’s all he was doing?
LLMs can be very effective but if I’m writing complex code with them, they always require multiple rounds of iteration. They just can’t retain enough context or maintain it accurately without making mistakes.
I think some clever context engineering can help with that, but at the end of the day it’s a known limitation of LLMs. They’re really good at doing text-based things faster than we can, but the human brain just has an absolutely enormous capacity for storing information.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 5 weeks ago:
There’s absolutely no way this can be effective for anything other than simple changes in each PR.
- Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
Lol. They made some “deals” based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.
By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 weeks ago:
For real? I don’t know how any of this works from the restaurant side. I thought they had to “join” GrubHub, that’s not the case?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 weeks ago:
Why would a restaurant allow delivery services if it causes them to lose money?
- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 5 weeks ago:
I instinctively downvoted after reading that vomit. It’s scary how many people are fooled by LLMs.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 5 weeks ago:
Witcher 3 is the bane of my existence at 4K. Even with DLSS it runs like ass on my 5070 ti.

Zuck helped forge the ring
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 month ago:
When you get deep into niche stuff like this, Linux is such a pain in the ass. I like it for casual use and even some gaming but I’m not going to lie, a lot of hobbyist stuff is just so much easier on Mac or Windows. Which makes sense since Linux isn’t in widespread use by normies and also isn’t a desktop-first OS.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 month ago:
Even on Ubuntu I had to use the terminal pretty frequently. Older games especially are a big PITA to get working sometimes.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 month ago:
Why do you people constantly lie so aggressively about this? That post exactly describes every single Linux migration I’ve ever done.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 months ago:
It’s crazy that the mods actually allow bad faith users like you on this site. Stop acting like a baby.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 months ago:
Lol. Literally just making stuff up about AI processes. No one other than shovelware developers is using AI to create a final product - and shovelware slop is nothing new. AI is simply another tool in the creation process.
It’s crazy how none of you anti-AI folks actually use AI yet rail against it like you’re experts on the topic.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 months ago:
You’re so full of it. AI is just another tool I can use to save time and be more efficient. It doesn’t produce a finished product, but it’s good for creating a foundation that I can then edit and change into something I want. Don’t try to tell me I’m fucking “soulless” just because you’re scared of the big new tech. I’ve been programming for decades.
You aren’t entitled to my time. Luddites like you also shat on cameras when they were first invented too. Your arguments against AI prove that you have no clue how to use it and just want to insult anyone who does.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 months ago:
Except people like you call games with premade assets “slop” too. It’s crazy how entitled people act to indie developer’s time.
I will 100% be using AI in my games and I’ll also be lying about it. It’s simply another tool and I’m not going your luddite pearl-clutching hold me back.
There’s no audience for media out there more entitled and more aggressive about their entitlement than gamers.
