- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 5 days ago:
Really, can you point out which section that’s in? All I find is “creating fake accounts or content, including fake reviews”, which doesn’t apply here if the person does use the service.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 6 days ago:
ou’re not allowed to review your own companies software
Says who? They can still be a user of it.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 6 days ago:
Yeah, I`m all for roasting Plex but nothing about that review is inappropriate or prima facie untruthful.

- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 1 week ago:
Your comment just sounds like a high schooler upset that people like other types of music.
Yes, that’s definitely it, rather than the multiple lawsuits and claims of plagiarism she has faced over the years.
- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 1 week ago:
Pretty funny that Dua Lipa is so opposed to this when her entire catalogue sounds like blatant ripoffs of other people’s music.
- Comment on Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration 1 week ago:
Remarkable how that happens, isn’t it? The company was fine while they received a paycheque but the very next day they are despicable.

That keyboard layout gave me a stroke.
- Comment on Meta's Reality Labs Has Now Lost Over $60 Billion Since 2020 - Slashdot 2 weeks ago:
I don’t understand how that’s even possible when they have so little to show for it. I like to imagine it’s full of maliciously-compliant people trying to bleed Meta dry from the inside.

No the (attempted) joke was using an obviously AI-written text hyping up protests, but it didn’t really work.

Political protests are incredibly important to me because they give people a way to express their dissatisfaction and push for change. When I see others out in the streets, organizing and demanding attention to issues that matter, it reminds me of the power we have as individuals to challenge the status quo. Protests help raise awareness about injustices that might otherwise go unnoticed, and they can be a catalyst for real, meaningful change. For me, they represent a critical way to hold governments and institutions accountable and ensure that our voices aren’t drowned out. They remind me that political participation is not just a right, but a responsibility to help shape the society we want to live in.

How is this a gotcha - isn’t IDF service mandatory for Israeli citizens? Employing any Israelis at all will automatically make many employees ex-IDF.

Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…
When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 2 months ago:
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)

Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.
What? No.

Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!

Funny that you emphasized this word, which has become such a tell of ChatGPT (along with “delve” and “crucial”).

Those charts are hilarious: wow, it gives the right answer 62.5% of the time and only makes up completely false answers 37.1% of the time! It’s like Russian roulette, but worse!
