Fuck off - reported for ad spam
- Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity? 12 hours ago:
Yes. You can and would stumble across the worst the Internet had to offer on /b/. Hardcore shock porn, CP, gore, extreme animal abuse and torture, etc. Was not a good place to hang out for anyone with a shred of decency. There’s a reason they call it the asshole of the Internet.
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 1 day ago:
Yeah UHC sold my data as soon as I was put under their coverage. Now I get so many phishing emails pretending to be from UHC.
- Comment on Camera Capabilities Unlocked From A Mouse 2 days ago:
But can you run DOOM on it?
- Comment on Google confirms AI search will have ads, but they may look different 1 week ago:
Stopped using Google five years ago and I do not miss it.
- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 1 week ago:
Or Krita
- Comment on Are bots on lemmy? 1 week ago:
There are still several tells that haven’t completely been ironed out. From years of reading bot comments on reddit, I’m able to discern a bot from a human pretty quickly, so long as I am able to check comment history and time stamps.
They have this weird uncanny valley pattern of speech and it sticks out like a sore thumb when I come across it.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Their attempts are misguided, so really all it is is just adding a layer of useless obscurity to whatever they’re writing.
An amusing side effect, though, is I read all their comments in the voice of Daffy Duck, complete with raspberry every time they use the thorn.
- Comment on Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot 2 weeks ago:
Looking around at my family, neighbors and coworkers getting hoodwinked by AI left and right… yeah that tracks.
- Comment on Not promotings violence. If someone or some group puts a bounty on a presidents or kings or pm's head how does a person collect and do they give you safe haven in country? 2 weeks ago:
I apologize that I don’t really have an answer for this but I can only read this in Skwisgaar’s voice now.
- Comment on Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site 3 weeks ago:
Just make the next sub out of SD cards, Nokia 3310 phones, and a Logitech controller.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 3 weeks ago:
Energy drinks, namely Red Bull. Loved the blue and yellow ones.
Then in May of last year I started getting toothaches. A root canal, eleven fillings, an extraction, and $6,000 later, I stopped drinking energy drinks and cut down drastically on sugary drinks.
- Comment on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend 4 weeks ago:
Can confirm; used to indirectly work for them. Stellantis holds nothing but contempt for their employees, suppliers, and customers. Their products are inferior and overpriced.
- Comment on Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal 4 weeks ago:
Wish my coworkers would get the memo. Constantly trying to shove AI videos in my face like “haha look at MLK Jr and Tupac as pro wrestling announcers haha”
As an artist I am deeply repulsed by AI. But other people around me? They love it for some reason.
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 4 weeks ago:
Don’t forget the vast majority of CEOs.
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 4 weeks ago:
It’s likely AI generated.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 5 weeks ago:
Imgur has been shitty for years at this point. They kept fucking with the UI when all I wanted to do was upload images and share the link. They should have stayed in their lane, not try to reinvent their platform as social media. Then their wholesale blocking of VPN traffic? Tired of that nonsense. I use imgbb now.
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 5 weeks ago:
Paywalled.

Good, hope it crashes.

Yes, sometimes even more than that.

Well now he knows he can extort more money out of them. GG Google. Masters gambit. 🙄
- Comment on What are your must-block tags on social media? 1 month ago:
This reeks of chatGPT.

This brightened my day, thank you
- Comment on YouTube will start using AI to guess your age. 1 month ago:
Yep I’ve had my account since 2006. It’s old enough to vote.
- Comment on Indeed updated terms: Forced Arbitration & bundling of consent 1 month ago:
Fuck Indeed. They sell your data to scammers.
- Comment on Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones 1 month ago:
We must, unfortunately, factor in the idiots. They’re quite pervasive.
- Comment on US will complete TikTok deal ‘in coming days’ and control its algorithm, White House says 1 month ago:
Not entirely sure, I’ve never had to decouple someone from social media. My relatives are hopelessly addicted to Facebook.
A suggestion would be to try to gently persuade them of the harms of WeChat, but not to be too pushy about it, could cause them to push back or use it on secret. If they care about their privacy, perhaps taking that route would be beneficial. Having some articles on hand that affirm your argument can help too.
- Comment on US will complete TikTok deal ‘in coming days’ and control its algorithm, White House says 1 month ago:
Uninstall TikTok. It’s spyware anyways.

Aw come on, leave Notepad alone! It’s like the last good Windows program.
