  How dare poor people get free medical advice

  Twitter user eoghan:

  AI is literally free healthcare. Being a communist must be exhausting”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nord is good for what it is; they advertise to casual users for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The 90% are caused by Fhqwhgads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  sigh

  Use LLMs as instructional models not as production/development models. It’s not hard, people. You don’t need to connect credentials to any LLMs just like you’d never write your production passwords on post-it’s and stick them on your computer monitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, here’s the thing. I don’t remember many dreams from a week ago but to this date I still remember waking up as a kid in the early 90’s and looking down the stairs and seeing two people in period clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs. We lived in a house from the 1800s so it checked out; and given that I genuinely felt a force when I tried to close the basement door, I believe they were basically standing guard between the cellar door and me protecting me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world is trying to log off U.S. tech⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally moved my personal dev/blog server to Hetzner and today was the first time in a while that the AWS bill was smaller than what it normally was (I did get rid of everything - EC2, S3 - except for domain registrations since I didn’t want to renew ones that just got renewed yet). Obviously I was still just paying for half the month so next month should be even smaller.

  We want Homerun Homer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s not going to hold up in court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what type of incident; if it’s something like noise in the hall or smoking, my apartment management handles it and lets people know (assuming it’s warning territory).

  I’d imagine for anything else, it’s a matter of not wanting to endanger people through escalation of non authority figures. I think you would have to have just cause to evict people, so having an official investigation would be imperitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple picks Google’s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza is a tomato pie.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correction; a tomato pie with pineapple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

  Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will finally allow you to change your @gmail.com address⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can finally change the deadname Gmail I’ve had for 25 years?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users See⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But not what Loop users can see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! That seems wild, I never knew that existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is a GeForce Now Subscription and why would you want a subscription to your graphic card? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But I don’t trust the CEO at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My N64 game collection. Not the most expansive but it is a lot of fun.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But one of those was WCW vs nWo: World Tour and that was all that mattered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My N64 game collection. Not the most expansive but it is a lot of fun.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to Toys R Us and being the paper slip for Goldeneye, bringing it to the checkout, and waiting for them to get the game was the best experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tiktok US deal; this is just for the US users. Tiktok global doesn’t change.

  Essentially the US just siloed all the US users together and cut them off from the rest of the world and they’re about to find out just how little of the US were on Tiktok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand why they need GenAI for placeholders; part of the fun of the creative process is coming up with fun, crude drawings that are clear placeholders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but they’re magical and revolutionary ads. You’ve never seen ads like these before.
