  Aren’t the front ends for these basically chat interfaces that mostly don’t change

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of Former Israeli Spies Are Working in Big Tech, Database Shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, great, my work uses Palo Alto VPN software to manage access to internal systems that I need to do my job

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yes, that’s why people do drugs.

  Usually doing it forever runs up against other problems like paying for it, holding down a job or health problems

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨100% vegetarian⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do actually, the beyond burger era has been pretty good for upping the game but they’re not quite they’re yet IMO

  I’m completely with you that they’re improving though, I think the smash burger style is gonna get there soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨100% vegetarian⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who currently eats meat but trying to reduce consumption for environmental reasons, I 100% want a vegan burger that tastes like the real deal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is the person in the image wearing those homeopathic anti sea sickness bands in IKEA?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would have to be parabolic and yeah as you suggest you would either need a big robotic rig to aim it or you would have to be very very obvious with your intent to damage given there’s pretty much only one specific place a given parabolic mirror can be to damage something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What you describe is simply not possible with a passive material. Funnily your example of something shooting lasers is probably the only thing that could come close to actual damage

  The most you can do is one of those adversarial patterns that just confuses the white balance and autofocus. There is nothing you can do to affect someone shooting in manual mode

  If you could damage a camera by pointing it at something, the manufacturer would fix the issue before selling it, because no one is buying a camera that does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve seen software swaps for the actual presses in most situations where I’d be able to.

  I think the only time I consider doing something is when I’m playing a Nintendo game on non Nintendo hardware, so my MiSTer or on retroarch and both support swapping Nintendo to western style. If I’m holding a Nintendo controller, muscle memory makes it not really a problem for me at least

  If you mean the actual physical buttons, I’d just say blank buttons are better than labelled ones in general, most popular controllers have blank mods that are pretty easy to do if you have a screwdriver with the appropriate bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t the current models only about half as dense as lithium Ion?

  Taking up twice the space for a tenth of the cost seems like a pretty acceptable trade-off for the house scenario

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  None of those have had much success in creating social networks that suck people in quite like the others

  Not to say they don’t have their own problems, but the bulk of problems with social media come squarely from meta & twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Meta and twitter cease to exist tomorrow and 99% of the issues are solved IMO

  The fediverse is social media and it doesn’t have anything close to the same kinds of harmful patterns

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The year is 2001. You find this game in a demo disk. Your evening is going to be great.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had that demo disk

  It was the first one of the millennium

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LAPD Eyes ‘GeoSpy’, an AI Tool That Can Geolocate Photos in Seconds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely it would be better for the environment, at least, to hire one of those GeoGuessr guys

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody uses the white emojis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really see any reason to not use the default yellow, frankly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Video] Israeli TV show guest clarifies how much he wants to exterminate every last Palestinian⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What a hateful piece of shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government suggests deleting files to save water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll also wear green clothing to have the same impact

  Well, deleting stuff causes a load of processing that wouldn’t have otherwise happened… So I guess I should have some coal barbecues?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go on the hunt for or a simple pilsner in a world full of craft beer in Dude, Where Is My Beer? A New Hop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t LW Dutch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a bubble since GPT2 guys, get with the program.

  There is zero chance even half of all these AI product companies still exist in half a decade.

  Now if you don’t mind I reckon I’m gonna Alta Vista search for CDNow and then webvan something from pets.com

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose one before starting the game...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The corruption is a lovely place to holiday in though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well this is somehow much, much worse than Google

  For those who missed it, perplexity is the one happily powering truth social’s AI search with their logo front and centre

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t Microsoft about to block kernel modules like this entirely? I thought I read that somewhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High-severity WinRAR 0-day exploited for weeks by 2 groups⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe some of you finally paid for it, this wouldn’t happen!

  … Who is still using it in 2025, though, really?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iRobot’s future isn’t looking up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, so somehow I’ve entirely missed Roborock’s existence until now—cheers for the recommendation!

  That one with the robotic arm on it is crazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried naming the states from memory as a European⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot the salt cultists between LA and Vegas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iRobot’s future isn’t looking up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not in the market for one today, but I’m probably getting a robovac or two in the next couple of years.

  Anyone have any recommendations for a good one that can be regarded as relatively trustworthy. I’ve got a home assistant setup already and don’t mind some minor mods/soldering, if that’s the best option, but off the shelf with no faff is obviously ideal.
