THERE IS ONLY WAR
- Comment on After a 15-Month Figma and Adobe Withdraw Proposed Acquisition After Regulatory Hurdles 11 months ago:
AI-butchered headlines are my favorite headlines. After a while of baker and bread baking the bread after fifteen minutes. And how!
- Comment on Modern centralized version control systems? 11 months ago:
I feel like this is a prank of some sort?
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is now available on Steam 11 months ago:
Does the spyware and ads come preinstalled this time, or are they patching those in later as well?
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Yeah, I'm not against spending money on audio equipment, but the vast majority of that money should go towards good speakers and headphones rather than things that don't make a difference. Not because it bothers me, because who am I, but because people would get more out of their money that way.
I really respect your edit, by the way. Rock on. And the DAC thing we can just disagree on and still be friends. With even a moderately decent sample rate, the DACs job is trivial, and it really makes no difference. If you can hear a difference, it's because one of the DACs is either doing something more than being a DAC or is broken and polluting the output.
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Tidal sells snake-oil hi-fi, though. MQA is pseudo-scientific bullshit, and the fact that Tidal promotes it disqualifies them from serious consideration. Spotify's maximum sound quality is more than enough for all purposes. "Audiophiles" thinking they can tell the difference between V0 and lossless continues to be the biggest fucking joke in the universe. But hey, those are the same people who'll shell out $50K for an external DAC despite the technology having been solved to the point where a Chinese $5 DAC on a motherboard does the exact same thing.
It's an absolutely fucking hilarious clown show where absolutely no one has any fucking idea about anything.

It's always good to have empirical evidence and scientific studies to back up what we already know :)
- Comment on What are some good private email service? 11 months ago:
Both Tuta and Proton have free plans that cost zero euros per year!
- Comment on Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed 11 months ago:
What makes me really sad is that this is very obviously a sort of testing of the waters, and in a short while this will become the standard in triple A games, but people will still fucking buy them, and then that'll be the world we live in. Happens every single time.
- Comment on Where have all the users gone? How Google's actions could degrade the open internet and what publishers can do to stop it. 11 months ago:
It’s also data that can be shared in a privacy-conscious way with advertisers to preserve the value of their advertising impressions.
The word privacy means the exact opposite of privacy in the venomous mouths of these vile corpo snakes.

- Comment on The Arasaka Waterfront We Never Got | Cyberpunk 2077 1 year ago:
These pathetic fucking pleas for subscribers and likes ruin everything. Either make content because you want to, or fuck off. No one owes you anything.

- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
I hear them there covid vaccines summon demons to drink your blood, too. There was some snooping around some classified government files, and someone found a reference to "blood", and that word can't possible be a reference to anything other than summoned vaccine demons drinking your blood, so there you have it.
- Comment on Google Fiber's 20Gbps Internet to Arrive by Year's End for Select Residential Users 1 year ago:
Once enough people are addicted to it, it will be monetized beyond the subscription cost with ads, throttles, upgrades and add-ons, which will mark the beginning of a brand new chapter in this ad-fueled nightmare called modern life.
- Comment on Google Chrome to soon get a new ‘IP protection’ feature: Here’s what it does 1 year ago:
If you don't understand by now that everything Google does is a way to monetize your personal data, no one can help you.

Junkie excuses. Do without.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Sales Breakdown - with PC making up a whopping 68% of units sold 1 year ago:
Yeah, that's definitely something that moves millions of units, people wanting to check out the ray tracing.
- Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media 1 year ago:
It's beyond sad. And what's even sadder is the junkie excuses people come up with to convince themselves that their use of corporate social media is justified and healthy. Just read a few of the replies to your post here. The one about asking for a woman's Instagram made me laugh out loud. It's so profoundly pathetic.
- Comment on Dubai: Flying taxis to be fully operational by 2026 1 year ago:
There are two types of people in the world: those who think Dubai is a dystopian shithole that should be broken down to its constituent atomic parts and launched into the sun, and those who do not think Dubai is a dystopian shithole that should be broken down to its constituent atomic parts and launched into the sun.
- Comment on Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night 1 year ago:
Every couple of days I get a text message from the municipality about which garbage can is being emptied next, and the rest is text messages from my wife. Being a kid in 2023 sounds very stressful.
- Comment on "Our Wire Mothers" - It's important for us to be careful that our technology does not supplant the human need for socialization. 1 year ago:
Anyone who uses the word healthful to mean healthy is so mentally derailed that anything else they might write or say drowns completely in the chasm of their psychotic disconnection from ordinary human life.
- Comment on All your favorite Cyberpunk 2077 mods are disabled in Phantom Liberty, CDPR says 1 year ago:
... leaving many split on the decision.
What the fuck does this even mean?
- Comment on Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than bluetooth competitor. The us won't benefit from it for now 1 year ago:
The lower power consumption, if true, is a huge benefit for something like hearing aids where you have very limited resources that need to last as long as possible.
- Comment on Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud 1 year ago:
There's a lesson here somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can put my finger on what it might be.
- Comment on Nearly 500 smartphone brands have left the market since 2017 1 year ago:
Apple fanboys like to dream big.
- Comment on Announcing Microsoft Copilot, your everyday AI companion - The Official Microsoft Blog 1 year ago:
Everything about this bit of news sounds like a fucking nightmare, and reading it from within Firefox on Linux makes me feel like a medieval lord peeking out over the ramparts of my fortress at an encroaching enemy army. "With your privacy and security at the forefront." Vomit.
- Comment on Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter? 1 year ago:
Whatever lame-ass excuse makes you sleep at night, junkie.
