The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.

- Comment on The Fitbit Sense line is cooked because it was too good for Google 6 days ago:
The new Pebble watches look interesting. Relatively basic, but long battery life and open-source operating system.

Doctors cost money and the money goes to doctors. LLMs cost less and the money goes to billionaire techbros.
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 1 week ago:
Imagine lacking the curiosity to want to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn interesting new things with all the resources at your fingertips. I think the root of the problem is that capitalist society sends students the message that learning is valuable only as a means to make more money.
- Comment on The Fitbit Sense line is cooked because it was too good for Google 1 week ago:
It’s the Google way. They frequently shut down even good and popular products of their own when they don’t align with some obscure corporate plan.

Soulseek is basically the same thing too, and still works.
- Comment on The Fitbit Sense line is cooked because it was too good for Google 1 week ago:
I found Google Assistant on the Sense useful for reminders. That was about all I used it for, and it was a bit annoying that Google took it away. It’s odd that these Google-made smartwatches now only support Amazon’s voice assistant.

- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
I can’t imagine many people would find this a pleasant device to do any actual work on. Maybe writers on the go, as the author says, though with a dubious keyboard layout even that is questionable.

- Comment on Under Trump, National Science Foundation Cuts Off All Funding to Scientists 1 week ago:
The USA needs to get rid of these fascists. They are destroying all aspects of American life and will leave the country in tatters and unable to cope with disease, hunger and climate change. This is intentional because their ideology tells them that only certain superior people deserve to live. Just by chance, the superior people happen to be themselves.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 week ago:
Yes, Mint is good advice. Beginners will need something mainstream with a solid base and good community support, and something that doesn’t look too different from Windows.

Unless this is being used as a pretext to block a service they wanted to block anyway for other reasons.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
They’ve gotten used to it in different political circumstances. But as people start to see how an authoritarian and vindictive fascist government works with surveillance tech to invade and endanger people’s lives, attitudes to things like always-on cameras may start to shift.
- Comment on Microsoft's AI Secretly Copying All Your Private Messages 2 weeks ago:
Well at least there are all kinds of checks and balances to prevent big tech and the US Government from abusing this information, right? Thank goodness we have no reason to worry about it being used for political surveillance and identifying who to send to foreign concentration camps, or anything like that.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
But think of the constant, total surveillance opportunities for Apple, and how this could help them win favor from the fascist government!
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
In the current US political climate, giving everyone glasses with always-on cameras run by big tech companies seems particularly dangerous.

It’s true. I remember it fondly as a very optimistic year.

Yep, for some of us Clippy never went anywhere.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 2 weeks ago:
I keep a Windows 2000 machine with Office 97 for writing, but I might try this. WordPerfect for DOS was always a pretty relaxing way to write.
