- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 3 months ago:
Yeah of course industries will collapse. 100 car factories will close, 5 superyacht factories will open, tying up the same amount of productivity. Owned by the same guy.
There will be tons of spacecraft launchpads, private jet hangars, etc.
And wars of course.

The rich will keep trading with each other. Look at housing for an example.

The rich. Companies will stop targeting products to wider and wider swathes of people, just like nobody caters to the homeless now.

Trump got shot at a rally, very minor injuries, would be assassin dead
- Comment on X’s blue checkmarks are deceptive, rules EU ‘Verified accounts’ lack authenticity and are being abused by malicious actors in violation of the EU’s DSA. 3 months ago:
The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán’s regime seems to have found a challenger.
The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

- Comment on Google's environmental report pointedly avoids AI's actual energy cost 3 months ago:
They are not saying “I’m not sure”, they are saying “I’m not telling you”. Big difference.
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram’s “pay or consent” ad model violates the DMA, says the EU 3 months ago:
The case is basically that having a non-tracking paid tier makes no difference, the free tier if it exists can’t include mandatory tracking.
So they can offer a paid tier with no tracking, but they must also offer no tracking on the free tier.

Only if you were involved in the kidnapping, like paying them to do it.
Reading this I’m not sure I’d fault him even if that were the case.
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega 3 months ago:
Why AAA? Come on Sega, you can get it to AAAA, have people pay for time like back in the arcade days! Game starts, you get “Insert coin” and a microtransaction!
Dream big!

- Comment on Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack 4 months ago:
That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.
Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.
- Comment on Julian Assange leaves UK after being freed in US plea deal - BBC News 4 months ago:
And yet if not for his actions, it would have never come to light that the US military murdered a bunch of innocent people including Reuters journalists in 2007. I know it sucks how Wikileaks curates info, and ideally this should be handled in a way that’s less exploitable by foreign governments, but to me, it seems they are vigilantes doing stuff because the US justice system wouldn’t.
I mean, look at the Trump prosecution. If you had proof of the DNC doing its antidemocratic shit to prevent anyone who is not in big corp pockets getting elected, does the Trump prosecution inspire confidence that if you just made a police report, anything would happen?
- Comment on Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack 4 months ago:
There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.
And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.
- Comment on Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack 4 months ago:
I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

You see, it’s not apartheid, that would mean they treat them as second class citizens. You don’t put citizens into concentration camps.

- Comment on Is this too soon? 5 months ago:
Funny thing is, it was apparently a US helicopter, and part of the problem was that they weren’t wble to service it because sanctions. If it really was an old Soviet machine like on the picture, they would have had less problems.

- Comment on Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm 5 months ago:
Well, the endgame of that radicalization will be hangman’s nooses being put up in the Capitol, last time the people putting it up were too stupid and led by a moron, but if they let it continue, someone half competent might try to come at them as well. They don’t live that far away from society that if they let it catch fire, they won’t get burned.

- Comment on The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO 5 months ago:
Try the Total War games, especially the older (non-Warhammer) ones. Units take time to carry out actions, there is no point and not really a way to do insane actions per minute counts, as if a unit is engaged in melee, it can’t really disengage without losses. There is also a great scale to the whole thing. I loved Shogun 2 for example.
I also like Eugen games like Wargame, Steel Division or Warno if a modern shooty type thing is more your game. Maybe try Regiments, that one is also good and maybe a bit less complex than Eugen titles.
Neither of these has base building, both are more of a “this is how many soldiers get for this battle, use them wisely” type game.
