- Comment on CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court 4 days ago:
The original owners retained full creative control though. It would have been fine if Krafton didn’t try to fuck them over
- Comment on Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting 1 week ago:
Everything is political
And FOSS is explicitly political. It’s open-source free software. What do you think it is? It doesn’t exist in a vacuum
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’m sorry, but you’re being so obnoxious here. If you’re that upset why not just block a person and move on?
It’s not even targeted at me and I’m getting annoyed
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 1 week ago:
At least twitch is a bit different than YouTube in that the culture there it’s normal for people to pay and donate to streamers. Even though the owners still suck massively, of course
- Comment on A Coalition of 30 Major Publishers (including Penguin Random House, Elsevier, and HarperCollins) Sue Anna's Archive Over 'Staggering' Copyright Infringement, Seek Injunction 1 week ago:
If you’re concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it’s easier to re-launch it if it happens
- Comment on Also how do I know if it works? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not my experience in my local areas. I guess we just don’t tend to have strong winds, and you do see a ton of people with umbrellas doing just fine
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 2 weeks ago:
10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

Transgender, AuDHD, (secret third thing)
…I’m sure my 18 year old ass would process this information in a calm and reasonable manner, lol

The good place is a great introduction to philosophy
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
While I agree that AR glasses will become widespread, there’s still time to advocate for and implement privacy focused regulations. Especially early on as people are upset about the technology
While not perfect solutions, enforcing stuff such as recording LEDs and such are steps in the right direction
- Comment on 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error' 3 weeks ago:
In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail
And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You know what sucks?
In that AR glasses, in theory, are such an interesting technology with lots of potential, and certainly a piece of tech I would love to have and work with and on. Not to secretly record people, but to, well… augment my field of view with whatever digital tools or displays I would like. It would be so useful
It’s honestly kinda saddening to me that it most likely will get completely ruined by our current toxic relationship to technology. A step towards our ever increasing cyberdystopia, and not towards enchanting our limited lives
Obviously either way I don’t trust Meta, but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? It would be nice…
I still hold out hope that this somehow could be resolved, and I would love to contribute to open software for these devices. Maybe one day soon-ish I will. My expertise should be well applicable, after all

Oh nice, good job on making and updating a community on this, I’ll keep this in mind

It doesn’t seem appealing tbh

…would it??
- Comment on Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich 3 weeks ago:
That article was an insane read. I couldn’t have written more unserious people if I tried
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
I feel like that’s something a lot of people are just not thinking about for some reason
There’s a simple explanation for the weird videos, and why the government didn’t want to talk about them. And it’s just it being experimental military technology
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
The president of the US also said that tariffs are paid by the seller
So, you know, not a high credibility
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
What’s there to be excited about? There’s no reason to believe aliens ever visited earth. Exist somewhere in the universe, sure. I’m very excited for any news from observations in space or the mars rover finding signs of life, but not on earth.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and so far, all we’ve had are som shitty low resolution videos which very well might have been either video artifacts, atmospheric natural phenomena, or just experimental weapons.
- Comment on lol 4 weeks ago:
Really, it’s about laypeople using technical terms that they understand, and the industry actively encouraging it
It’s a mess and it sucks
- Comment on It is indeed 4 weeks ago:
It is beautiful!
Sex is natural and not something that’s aesthetically inferior to other things
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 5 weeks ago:
It probably would never appear green, due to the black-body radiation distribution. When the peak is at green, it just looks like white to us. Our sun is kinda a “green” star due to this
But it would go from blue to white to red. Similar colour progression that we can find in the distribution of stars
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 1 month ago:
But for the games without DRM you can just download them and run the executable. Bypassing Steam
Sure, if you stop using steam you can’t re-download or update the game, but if the game didn’t have DRM, you can just keep copying the existing executable
- Comment on 1 month ago:
At least personally I don’t really see how the threadiverse is more toxic than reddit. Though it may be because my instance is simply good at blocking the toxicity away, and the instance their chose isn’t. Which could be something to work on I suppose, but moderation is always a big discussion in these situations, with some people not liking moderation but also, in reality, wanting it
As for niche content, that, unfortunately, is just a catch 22 situation. No simple solution other than to simply get more people to join
- Comment on 1 month ago:
People who do that truly don’t actually want an alternative, huh?
They just want Reddit under new management
- Comment on Womp womp womp womp 1 month ago:
Yeah, in a lot of fields it simply would pay more to go private lmao
Still, it feels more rewarding to contribute to the scientific body than to just make someone else rich

In EU new installments using refrigerants with GWP of over 150 will be straight up banned next year, at least for home usage

Because if a company gives up profits to be nice, another company will swoop in and get inherently rewarded by doing the profitable thing instead

I question whether we are rapidly approaching the point where Linux is simply easier to use in a safe, secure, and practical way for the average user, because it doesn’t try to actively fuck you over like Microsoft does
It’s easier when you don’t need to jump through hoops to make a local account. It’s easier when you don’t need to turn off a dozen settings you might not know about regarding data collection or advertisements. It’s easier when you don’t have an antagonistic system that treats you like the product, not a user, not pushing you towards confusing things you don’t want
