They should charge them for making Teams in the first place.

Dude looks deranged in any photo I’ve seen of him. I find him scary tbh. Maybe he is a robot running on OpenAI.

Found John Connor.
Robot dogs with AI controlled guns mounted on the back are also a thing already 🤷♂️
- Comment on If Start menu ads in Windows 11 aren't bad enough, something worse might be on the horizon 6 months ago:
Welcome!
I’ve been a linux user for maaaaany years but always dual booted to windows for gaming. Got a new pc recently and this time I ditched the windows partition. Gaming on linux has come a long way the last few years and will only get better. Feels good man.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 6 months ago:
Yeah it’s not just Microsoft. Fucking ads in my doorbell app, Google TV, etc.
Putting ads in a product you paid for should be illegal.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 6 months ago:
Invidious and piped had issues with youtube blocking them, but the instances I use work fine again now. They even blocked my self hosted invidious instance which I use maybe once a day lol.

Luckily Piped, Invidious and others are still doing its thing.

My dad ran IBM OS/2 Warp for a while on our PC. Rock stable. Shame it never really took off.
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 7 months ago:
I’m in my second Audi but it will be my last. This subscription shit should be boycotted.

Good bot.
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 8 months ago:
I check this game out once or maybe twice a year which is more than enough imo. There are plenty of people playing this daily though who apparently can cope with all the bugs and crashes.
- Comment on Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox? 8 months ago:
Yeah I know. Sometimes tabs just stop working and I have to kill the app.
- Comment on Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox? 8 months ago:
Agree it is kind of buggy on iOS.
Flawless on desktop though.

- Comment on 30 Years After Doom’s Release, These Are the 30 Best-Worst Ways to Play the Game That Started It All 10 months ago:
I remember downloading Doom (the shareware edition) from a BBS, launching it and being absolutely mind blown. The graphics and 3d engine were something else entirely. Good times.
- Comment on Belching in a gopher 11 months ago:
I laughed way too hard at this 😂
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 11 months ago:
Isn’t there some consumer protection law against this, I mean this is really invasive and not doing what you expected it to do when you bought it.
- Comment on Why is anti-cheat always client-side? 11 months ago:
Server determines hit received. Client only sends shot fired and direction and such. Server could also calculate if shot and direction make sense based on location, last shot fired, etc.
I’m a dev but not a game dev so I have no idea if this is doable or too much for the server to handle. There probably is a reason anti cheat on the client is still needed.

Username checks out?
- Comment on Nvidia Shield is getting Auro 3D audio support, full-screen ads 11 months ago:
Install ProjectIvy from the app store on your Shield or Chromecast with Android TV as an alternative launcher.
Also not buying a Shield anymore in the future. Putting ads in a product you paid for should be fucking illegal at this point.
- Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024 11 months ago:
I must admit I ditched Firefox for a while when it was considerably slower than Chrome.

Okay but I see him in a lot of tech related posts lately, also not about right to repair.

Why does this dude’s face show up in my feed so often is the real question here.

Finally some Musk news worth upvoting.

See if you can find the chinese backdoor on it.
- Comment on Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11 1 year ago:
I only use windows for gaming, linux for everything else and have been for many years. I upgraded from windows 10 to windows 11 and had zero issues. It actually is starting to look better as well.
That said, more and more games run just fine on Linux now so I probably won’t need a dualboot system anymore at some point.
