Now’s not the time to hope and pray the fascism away.
- Comment on White House alters arrest photo of ICE protester, says "the memes will continue" 21 hours ago:
It’s a vocal minority and an apathetic majority, with another less-than-vocal minority trying to fight it.
It’s still not right to lump every American with these assholes.
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 4 days ago:
I mean, 96.5% of email was spam a decade or two ago, so this is nothing new, AI or not. Hackers and other blackhats are just shifting targets.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 5 days ago:
it’s a government agency enforcing immigration law, not goose-stepping brownshirts.
“Enforcing immigration law” = Deporting anybody they think looks too brown
And yes, they are goose-stepping brownshirts, or at least they wish they were.
- Comment on UK government starting to think about leaving X 2 weeks ago:
Brexit was a Russian op.

The Prototype series.

Even Metroid Dread was trend-chasing.

You obviously haven’t seen certain sections of CivitAI.

- Comment on How AI broke the smart home in 2025 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, Home Assistant is the way to go, but it’s been a slow progression because every company is more interested in proprietary lock-in than trying to push for standards like Z-Wave. It’s cloud-based bullshit everywhere, which is exactly the wrong kind of thing for in-home privacy. There needs to be a better push for standard APIs and internal wireless protocols.
This shit should be fucking easy. HVAC systems are still wired like it’s the 1930s, and all it takes is one company to just swoop in and create an all-in-one solution that uses standards and monitors inside/outdoor/room temps, humidity, occupancy, etc. It could control smart vents to close off rooms that aren’t in use, turn on humidity systems when it’s too low and isn’t too cold outside, hook into other rules from HA.
Doing the right thing could earn them millions, but nobody wants to bother actually doing it.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 4 weeks ago:
This is a much cheaper and faster way to get nuclear power.
Is this “journalist” an industry plant?
- Comment on Graduate instructor who gave failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky no longer teaching at OU 4 weeks ago:
Texas has pockets of large cities that balance some of it out. Oklahoma has Oklahoma City, which is still GOP, despite its status as a populous urban city.
- Comment on Graduate instructor who gave failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky no longer teaching at OU 4 weeks ago:
Oklahoma… can’t imagine a redder state. That place is a lost cause. I don’t envy anybody who lives there, and has to put up with the politics and corruption.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 4 weeks ago:
That PI batch is particularly damning. I’m surprised I haven’t even heard of these bits among even YouTube circles. Maybe Upper Echelon is working on something.
- Comment on ‘No, I’m not a Human’ Clears 850K Sold, Receives Holiday Update 4 weeks ago:
The gameplay mechanic can be a bit trolly at times, purposely trying to trick you very often, but I had a lot of fun with this game. It just has a vibe that works a lot better than the jump scare bullshit horror games you find elsewhere.
- Comment on The Lessons of SOMA Are Timeless 4 weeks ago:
A while back, I told myself that I wasn’t going to watch any YouTube video over an hour. But sometimes, really good YouTubers that I respected ended up putting out great two-hour material, like Folding Ideas or RLM or Grimbeard, and I just ended up watching these things, anyway. I might watch it for an hour, switch over to something else, and then watch the rest later. I just did that with the RLM Christmas video they just put out a few hours ago. It’s a hell of a lot better than the fleeting TikTok garbage that is geared towards maximum overstimulation and minimum education.
But, I also watch a lot of YouTube. And I still have my limits. I don’t understand these videos that go up to 5-6 hours. That’s just a lack of restraint in the editing department in my opinion.
- Comment on Alejandra Guilmant - a community for fans of the eponymous model 5 weeks ago:
Nope, direct access doesn’t work, either. You got some cookie that isn’t getting saved properly.
- Comment on A story-rich open-world FPS with Max Payne and Cyberpunk 2077 vibes? All right, you have my attention, No Law 1 month ago:
If it’s an indie game, there’s a 95% chance you’ve never heard of the developer.
- Comment on McDonald's pulls AI-generated Christmas advert following backlash 1 month ago:
Meanwhile, in non-corporate, non-shitville, actual talent can do great things with AI.
- Comment on builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers 1 month ago:
It’s a London-based company. How would they know any better?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Postal was a 90s edgelord game. It doesn’t really fit in this era. Even if they managed to make it, I doubt it would have sold well.
- Comment on Judge hints Vizio TV buyers may have rights to source code licensed under GPL— Tentative ruling signals a potential win for SFC’s copyleft enforcement push 1 month ago:
Hints? No, that’s absolutely guaranteed by GPL, backed by decades of precedent. This is an open-and-shut case.

Not sucking?
- Comment on Ron Gilbert cancels RPG project due to lack of support and funding 1 month ago:
It’s a shame, but also, there’s billions of games and RPGs out already. The game industry is so oversaturated, it’s not even funny.
- Comment on Tattoo ink induces inflammation in the draining lymph node and alters the immune response to vaccination 1 month ago:
This is just the same garbage rat study that has far too much attention with the press.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 1 month ago:
What the hell? Was this even peer reviewed?
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 1 month ago:
In a Petri dish!
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 1 month ago:
It’s the size of the animal that’s important here. I’m aware that mice can sometimes have useful biomechanical similarities to humans, but this is the wrong animal to use in this case. Pigs would have been much much better.
Tattooing is a delicate operation that requires precision, even using different pressures between male and female human skin, and that does not scale well at all for an animal that is 100x smaller than a human.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 1 month ago:
And yet, this single study has already pushed through the news cycle in multiple directions, thanks to its dangerously deceptive headline.
It doesn’t matter if it’s gets disproven in later studies, the damage has been done.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 1 month ago:
Because if fucking Apple of all companies starts taking gaming seriously, maybe Microsoft will again, too.
You can’t expect large megacorps to “do the right thing”, no matter how you define that. Linux is the only path towards open-source software and promotion.
