- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 2 hours ago:
Its the same model as microsoft claiming that all Office users are “copilot” users.
- Comment on Wing's drone deliveries are coming to 150 more Walmarts 16 hours ago:
These guys can’t even figure out how to do curbside and how they think they are going to fly heavy commercial drones?

We really need to stop listening to idiots.
- Comment on The Console That Wasn’t: How the Commodore 64 Outsold Game Consoles 2 days ago:
We literally had hundreds of games and had bought maybe ten of them.
- Comment on The Console That Wasn’t: How the Commodore 64 Outsold Game Consoles 2 days ago:
Petite who want something better probably shouldn’t be shopping for a commodore 64.
- Comment on For the people who say the Americans will never learn... 3 days ago:
The government of Venezuela is still in place. The very same government that was in place before the US kidnapped ONE member of that government.

Congratulations, you just caught up to where the rest of us started this discussion.
- Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns 4 days ago:
They ARE NOT being subjected to the same age verification process as regular porn sites. That is the entire thing that we are talking about here.
- Comment on Microsoft Windows Media Player stops serving up CD album info 4 days ago:
Good thing they told us because otherwise no one would notice.
- Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns 4 days ago:
Twitter has always hosted a considerable amount of porn GROK being deliberately developed into a CSAM machine is just the most recent thing.
To be clear, Twitter (and now X) explicitly permit pornographic content by policy:
https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/adult-content
It is a porn site. Not a site that sometimes people break the rules and post porn to. It is a site that deliberately and intentional hosts pornography.
- Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns 4 days ago:
It is a website that hosts a shit ton of porn and even features a tool for creating porn. How is that not a porn site?
- Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns 4 days ago:
Its seems kind of evident that building a machine that makes CSAM would be a crime if any individual did it, so why not a corporation?
- Comment on Are Crows just the reincarnation of cranky goths? 4 days ago:
I suspect that crows are higher on the karmic ladder than goths so if anything goths are the reincarnations of cranky crows.

Holy shit no
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 5 days ago:
Dell actually needs to sell computers to stay in business, unlike these big tech companies which make money just from existing.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 6 days ago:
What about the last 20 years of Microsoft make you think that adding value to their products has anything to do with their business model?
Tech companies don’t make new shit anymore, and they haven’t done it for a long time. All they do now is steal our shit and sell it back to us.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 6 days ago:
I think they are testing the waters of just open warfare against indie developers. Microsoft has no interest in platforming their competitors. They start with the adult games because no one is going to defend them. Once the precedent is set, they go after everyone else. They do the same thing with porn as a vehicle to attack free speech.
- Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer 6 days ago:
Oh look, a government that seems to be at least a little interested in things that benefit their people.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 week ago:
Good point, it’ll just be XP, which is already happening in lots of places.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 week ago:
This makes me think about the hospital I used to work at that had an old 386 parked in the shop running the HVAC system. They had it completely off the network and had to keep it because it was the only way to run the proprietary HVAC control software and would cost an absurd amount of money to upgrade to be compatible with modern systems and it still did its job.
I imagine a future where there is a computer like that running windows 11 in some basement and new employees are trained “don’t even think about touching this thing, its doing its job.”
- Comment on Can other countries impose sanctions on the US? 1 week ago:
They sure can, but its unlikely to achieve very much. Now, if a whole bunch of countries got together to do it AND they were willing to endure the enormous financial cost that comes with it, that might actually do something.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
Literally everyone I know that runs a Linux desktop and also has a job.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
Its is almost universally the main reason that even a lot of Linux daily-drivers still have a windows install available to them. They fuck up Office enough and there isn’t a reason to even have Windows for most users.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
People who stayed home with fascism on the ballot are as good as fascists themselves.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 1 week ago:
Turning an unplayable ripoff game into something that is maybe worth the steam sale price ten years later isn’t a “labor of love” it’s mitigating legal risk from it’s investors.
BG3 added a ton of content since release, to the point where they even brought in the entire voice cast to record additional dialogue.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Half of America actively support this shit. They are a LONG way from doing anything about this themselves.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Morons line this guy after why people hate Americans.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You forgot: normalize Russians Indian of Ukraine and place Europe in a difficult diplomatic position that threatens to isolate them from the US.
- Comment on I'm there! 1 week ago:
That’s just called “going camping” and it probably costs more than 4 grand to get all that shit to Mongolia.
- Comment on See George Takei And Rebecca Romijn Lead Star Trek Float For Rainy Rose Parade 1 week ago:
For a long second I was like “I love George Takei, but what does he has to do with Star Trek?”
