- Comment on Greenlanders are mocking the USA on social media by acting like they are fentanyl addicts 1 week ago:
“Agh!!! I’m ODing but please don’t call an ambulance!”
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 1 week ago:
Any bad decision that’s made by an exec is usually just met with nods and grins by the workers while they do what’s actually necessary and try only half heartedly to follow their edicts. Execs usually have no idea what a pilot program is and every decision they make is pure gold so why not roll it out to everybody at once.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 2 weeks ago:
Are there “burner sims” you can get nowadays that don’t require online activation (i.e. they can easily trace the sim back to you)?
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 weeks ago:
If you look at broad based EU markets vs the S&P over the last year they grew about twice the rate.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 weeks ago:
Trump and other dictators are vain (uh, reviving an outdated class of naval ship and naming it after yourself sound familiar?) so they’ll prefer bombers, tanks, and rockets over some little robots with little propellers. They disdain things that look weak regardless of their usefulness.
- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 3 weeks ago:
I probably got a lemon but regardless my XPS (~3 years old) is the worst computer I’ve ever owned. Touchy WiFi, battery that goes from 30 to 3℅ in a matter of seconds, randomly doesn’t detect the keyboard, randomly freezes, randomly doesn’t acknowledge it’s plugged in. Some days I just put it in timeout and use my 10yo netbook instead.
- Comment on ISO Homelab Power Saving Methods 3 weeks ago:
For pure energy efficiency it’s hard to beat an SBC (raspi, rockpi). Mine does a good job with Jellyfin streaming so long as I avoid transcoding.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 4 weeks ago:
Also your reputation. I had a Crucial SSD and was days from getting an identical one as a backup but then they said they were stopping consumer RAM sales so they’re now on my blacklist.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Refused $400k salary to save the taxpayers money and awarding himself $1b as a pat on the back. What a guy!
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
So Ford is going to abandon the EU market?
- Comment on North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location 5 weeks ago:
This is definitely a thing.
- Comment on ‘Invasive, deceptive, and unlawful’: Texas says your TV is tracking you illegally, and is suing to stop the dreaded Automatic Content Recognition 1 month ago:
Or extortion. He makes a stink, they make some campaign donations, and he backs off or gives them a slap on the wrist.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 1 month ago:
Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!

TUIs FTW!

Pretty sure PWAs can run in the background.
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 1 month ago:
ICE recently lured someone out of their house by claiming to be a construction worker (dressed up I’m guessing) that hit a parked car. 😮💨
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 1 month ago:
Clearly an emoticon/emoji of Iron Man’s chest.
- Comment on Scientists Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Sway Elections 1 month ago:
So AI slop doesn’t get generated, just imagine the visual of the Egyptologist from The Mummy holding a GPU, saying, “What have we done?”, while covered in dickflies.
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 month ago:
Sometime that code will expire and you need to alternate to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4M. Works most of the time for me.
- Comment on After a teddy bear talked about kink, AI watchdogs are warning parents against smart toys 1 month ago:
OHHHHHH, so when kids toys are talking nasty it’s the PARENTS that need to be on alert, but not so much when THE PARENTS hand their kids unrestricted and unmonitored smartphones to seek out adult material on explicitly labeled adult websites! 🖕🤬🖕
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 month ago:
It’s called prison labor.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 month ago:
The ultimate goal of capitalism is to have an infinite pool of workers, working infinite hours, for $0.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 1 month ago:
Running i2p or Tor isn’t that challenging and demand drives innovation. I could see one-click solutions taking off in a few months if people were willing to pay a few bucks a month to download basically anything the dark web can offer.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 2 months ago:
Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don’t exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn’t have their shit together.
- Comment on Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup's robots could 'fracture a human skull' 2 months ago:
Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 2 months ago:
They fucked up by making their robots last seemingly forever, due to the fact they spy on you and get stuck every 15 mins so you never want to turn them on.
- Comment on Trump Lawyer, 87, Offers Creepy ‘Not a Pedophile’ Defense of Epstein 2 months ago:
Oh, how about “child rapists”? Yeah, much better fit.
- Comment on Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan 2 months ago:
What about multiple Pis? Seriously asking. I love having a Pi as a dedicated server (small footprint, low energy, low temp). Do I really need to switch to a more traditional ITX/ATX form factor to get real reliability?
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 months ago:
I’m just glad they have dual thumbsticks now. I bought their last model on sale but quickly shelved it. Couldn’t get used to the touchpads and didn’t want to spend the next 2 months sucking at every game I played.

Obligatory fuck Spotify!
