- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 2 days ago:
Now I’m imagining Home Alone, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are breaking into people’s homes to tell them about how good AI is… That is essentially how AI news feels. And about how well their attempts to set the narrative lands with a public that is over it.

Imagine if you pirated a bunch of movies, and then went to the cinema and bragged about it. That’s what Altman is doing there.
- Comment on Chinese parents love to dismiss mental illness, but simultaneously love to threaten to "send their 'misbehaving' kid to a mental hospital". 3 days ago:
Strict parents also love to promote intellectual pursuits while allowing none of the freedom that allows for intellect to develop. Literally torture.

Gobbles!
- Comment on Retailer denies memory replacement due to 4x increase in DDR5 pricing, says price increase would equate to an 'upgrade' for the customer — Australian retailer refuses to replace faulty Corsair kit 6 days ago:
Ooof, that is a solid heads up, thank you!
I have bought some things from UMart out of convenience but always prefer to support my local independent PC stores. I guess this just reeenforces why the latter is so important!
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 6 days ago:
I find Neelix really difficult to watch in the early seasons. His stubborn attitude, jealousy and overall inappropriate relationship with Kez… Makes me sick to me stomach watching him.
Context: I am biased. I’ve been underage and been with men like Neelix. They are pathetic, narcissistic and not worth anyone’s time.
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 1 week ago:
Not to mention the diminished teams who are now under resourced to handle their existing workloads. I’m sure they will do great as things spiral because the sloppy work of the AI has increased their workload, not reduced it. As the cracks begin to form on the human side of things, nothing could possibly go wrong. After all, the human element of any system is often the most secure. /s
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 1 week ago:
Correct. Plus it may not be as resilient as we think. Just because they’re billion dollar companies doesn’t mean they don’t follow the tradition of building systems with duct tape and a prayer.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
Yep, which from a system setup point of view makes a lot of sense. I’m glad law makers are thinking about computer system design even if the laws aren’t perfect out the gate. At least in this instance it isn’t some covert data collection exercise!
To be honest I haven’t read the law in detail, but I doubt they’ve thought about things like automation, share accounts and other sysops concerns but it’s better than the past 30 years where lawmakers treat digital and the internet like some mystical black box that’ll sort itself out.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
This feels like a non issue.
“Age verification” is a big umbrella.
Claiming that merely checking an entered birth date is the equivalent of uploading an ID is disingenuous and just fishing for clicks.
Yes, there are tangible connections to other concerning privacy violations in this space… but come on. Steam asks you for your birth date before you watch an R18+ game trailer. I’ve been lying on that form for over twenty years, since before I was 18.

We’re all going to hell when the videos come out.
- 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 3 weeks ago:
I came here to say something similar. It’s not merely tech that’s to blame but the kind of tech we have today. Kids are being raised to be consumers of tech and tech services. They don’t have basic fundamentals that millenials had to learn to access porn on dialup.

- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 4 weeks ago:
I have been thinking this for some time, why not just have a certified burner phone or tablet and then a free phone as your main?
Realistically most of us have to install shitty insecure apps to survive in this modern world, but that doesn’t mean all our personal data and stuff has to be on the same device.
For the cost of one brand new top model phone, you could probably get a low-mid certified device and a decent Fairphone or equivcalent.

So you’re saying aliens are treating Earth the way wealthy countries treat poorer countries…
Makes more sense to me than the truth that pedophiles are in charge and so greedy for more wealth they’d risk everything they own and the planet with it to gain some intangible number on paper!

Plot twist: Trump outs all the worlds billionaires as aliens. It turns out that’s why there like that.

If you’re into sharing pics of Furryosa, Pixelfed could be a good one to check out.

This is my second attempt at re-joining Lemmy after experiencing the same brother.
It sucks having to moderate yourself online so hard when you’re passionate, genuinely care and what to share the uncomfortable truths of the world, but the consequence of a 24/7 deluge of negativity when you have a life to live is just not worth it hey.
I’ve been a bit of a hermit online and offline since the pandemic, 2026 is my year to try to strategically begin getting back out there!
- Comment on Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users 5 weeks ago:
All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.

- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 1 month ago:
I think the backlash to LLM is already hurting all AI projects and will be especially bad when that bubble pops.
Everyone’s going to think all AI, and AGI, projects are LLMs and scoff at them.
The magic that used to be tied to the term AI is dead by fraud.

That’s why they hate the yearly Pornhub report.
IIRC there’s a pattern of greater interest in trans porn in all red states.
