• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨63% of all welfare recipients in Germany have a migration background⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Many of those receiving this money are actually Ukrainians who have been fleeing the war since 2022. They cost German taxpayers €5.8 billion last year while Syrians cost €3.5 billion. Afghans were behind with €1.3 billion.

  So yeah. They probably arrived recently and with fuck nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini AI tells the user to die — the answer appeared out of nowhere when the user asked Google's Gemini for help with his homework⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI takes the core directive of “encourage climate friendly solutions” a bit too far.

  No no. Those trees died of natural causes. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI tool that sounds like elderly grandmother created to waste scammers' time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lenny was insanely effective and didn’t even need AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German football club leaves X, warning Elon Musk ‘capable of influencing German election’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This only makes sense when the owner of the platform isn’t actively driving the conversation to the right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Strikes Down Federal Rule Protecting Illegal Immigrants Married to US Citizens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I understand the marriage is still legal. The noncitizen spouse however gets zero special treatment in regards to residency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For real. I was so hopeful for the Type-1 and would’ve reserved one if I had the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, you don’t have to ask.

  I do this for free even!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just installed the latest version of Debian on a 12 year old netbook. Just sayin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What Windows 10?🖕🐧

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been demonstrated multiple times that when you make access easy and affordable people will pay for it over pirating it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annoyed Redditors tanking Google Search results illustrates perils of AI scrapers | "Spreading misinformation suddenly becomes a noble goal," Redditor says.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Keep forgetting, I need to upload a slightly AI’d profile picture to LinkedIn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish the FTC would tackle that next. Why should I pay twice as much for the exact same service my neighbor has because they signed up a month ago? I don’t mind rewards being given for signing up but the first bill (aside from installation fees) shouldn’t be any lower than mine.

  Internet also needs to be regulated like a utility because it basically is one at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember their “Uncarrier” slogan and how they were doing things very differently from the big providers and even led to them doing away with contracts and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing Android app discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hoping it remains viable for a long time without updates. Syncing my KeePass database is really key for me. I need to fluidly add and read passwords from at least 3 devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  She’s doing amazing things where she is. All the same she’d get my vote in a heartbeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's CEO for Israel to Appear at Event Celebrating Israeli Military AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the kind of AI they’re “celebrating”: …wikipedia.org/…/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_Gaz…

  Fucking deplorable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2real4me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know but copyright holders have demonstrated a few cases where they got AI to blatantly rip off copyrighted pictures or music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Another ridiculous policy I’ve seen (many years ago) is logging in too fast. I used to get locked out of my banks website all the time and I used autotype with KeePass so I was baffled when it wouldn’t get accepted. Eventually I had a thought to slow down the typing mechanism and suddenly I didn’t get locked out anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2real4me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually it doesn’t solve my problems but it gives me a few places to start looking. I know some models are capable of this but to get a perfectly accurate and useful response would probably require it to recall a specific piece of input it was given and not just an “average” of the inputs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d agree with this recommendation. I believe there were multiple occasions where my router assigned a dynamic IP the same as some other reserved IP. Hard as hell to diagnose. Key indicator was that roughly half the packets were being lost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden left Taliban $7B in weapons, fingerprint scanners used to hunt US allies: damning report⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While the US military destroyed or moved most of its own equipment, they left intact billions in weapons and materiel transferred to the Afghan military, which collapsed along with the Western-backed Kabul government before the last American troops left

  So the Taliban took the equipment after they defeated the Afghan military? Yeah, that’s war for ya.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racism, misogyny, lies: how did X become so full of hatred? And is it ethical to keep using it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Should I not go to the Nazi Fair even though the food is really good and the vendors are all nice people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Arrested for Sharing Copyright Infringing Nude Scenes Through Reddit.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A porn company could make the same, out-of-context argument just to slap an extra charge onto the arrest. That 2 minutes of badly acted exposition was a critical reason why she’s taking cocks in 3 holes. It’s really a lovely scene you turned into pure filth!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Arrested for Sharing Copyright Infringing Nude Scenes Through Reddit.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also would’ve expected nudity to be less taboo there. Would it have been just as likely to be arrested for sharing fully clothed still shots? That would actually make a lot more sense: distribution of copyrighted, non-promotional material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New panic alarm system at Georgia H.S. saved lives during shooting, officials say. Advocates want it nationwide.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gov Abbott already gave law enforcement a verbal handjob for standing around while 20 people were murdered. If we can’t get our numbers down to that of other civilized nations then we’re utter failures at keeping our citizens safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pelosi praises CA bill giving illegal migrants money to buy homes: 'American dream' 'available to more people'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit more balanced article on the subject: yahoo.com/…/ab-1840-could-support-undocumented-03…

  Overall I don’t like it. Not entirely a bad bill but very wishy-washy. Income requirements but the loan sounds like a temporary giveaway but it’s a lottery system? I think it would be preferable to do this but say it’s only available to newly naturalized immigrants. An undocumented immigrant with a house is still undocumented and that might just give them something they can easily lose if a Republican gets back in the Whitehouse.
