Minority Report is the name of the movie, for anyone curious.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t. It designs part of the chips that go into their phones.
Google also designs chips that go into its phones, and Microsoft has also designed chips and security co processors that have gone into PCs.
(Of course, I’d never consider a Microsoft “security co processor” secure, nor an apple or google one).
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 4 weeks ago:
Apple gets money from both their monopoly on user data and their high prices. That’s why it’s above Microsoft and Google in market cap, even though it doesn’t have nearly as much infrastructure and reach.

There are many free and libre OCR programs, that have way more accuracy than an “AI”

Client side anti-cheat (the one installed on your PC) will never work, it’s just fundamentally impossible. They can restrict user freedom as much as they want, but the hardware still isn’t under their control.
The only reason they push for those kinds of anti-cheats is because they don’t have to pay for the extra processing of server side anti-cheat, and they also get the benefit of a backdoor into your computer that you may never fully uninstall without buying a new computer.

Promotes crypto, it’s based on chromium and the CEO is an asshat.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 3 months ago:
Minecraft, the game that sold the most copies in history, has a huge infrastructure of community-hosted servers, some with tens of thousands of players playing at the same time. The community has created different flavors of the server software, optimized it, added mod support and even reprogrammed parts of it.
At this point, it’s hard for me to believe how someone could say a community can’t run game servers with a straight face.

It really isn’t that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn’t try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card

If I get one of those, I’m definitely killing it and stealing its copper. Amazon can pay for the repairs.
- Comment on TIL my decision to drive a 22' full cab pickup truck and vehemently oppose urban zoning reform makes me a defender of social justice, a warrior for the downtrodden, and more progressive than 99% [cont 4 months ago:
I think it is, yeah. It has a metro station relatively close by, which food delivery people often use to get around the city center. The streets around it are also very walkable, and you can go by bike. I don’t think it is a problem for food delivery at all.

- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 months ago:
The reality is that if you want to have access to that privilege, you should not abuse it. The fact that communities were built in a car centric manner does not imply you can do whatever you want because nobody can take your car away. Either you drive responsibly, or you don’t drive.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 months ago:
I’m not saying you should be taken to prison. All I’m saying is if you don’t know how to drive safely, you shouldn’t drive. If people are unable to drive at safe speeds, they should not drive at all, and it’s up to them to figure out an alternative (public transport, bike) or find a job that they can walk to.
I’m not leaving anyone without the option to go to work or drive anywhere, if they want that they can just drive responsibly.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 months ago:
That’s a slippery slope. The limits are there for a reason, and it’s considered unsafe to go faster. Everyone should be doing the speed limit, and if people consistently drive over the limit, they should absolutely have their licenses removed.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 months ago:
If driving is essential for you, then you shouldn’t drive like an asshole, go over the speed limit multiple times or drive recklessly, endangering others.
If you’re putting people in danger because you can’t understand the implications of driving a multi-ton metal box at insane speeds, you shouldn’t be allowed to do it.
