- Comment on Tractor eggs 16 hours ago:
It’s content like this that I hope poisons AI.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 3 days ago:
This makes sense. I have a friend from way back in HS who interned there while he was working on his degree who said that cloud services was the priority at the time, and Windows was more just a vehicle that they continued to maintain. That continues to be the approximate temperature of the product and is in line with my expectations.
- Comment on Facts and minds 3 days ago:
This is a sign of emotional intelligence. When people get emotionally invested in their argument, they don’t want to lose, and they often won’t let themselves believe they can even lose even when they have.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 3 days ago:
I could imagine a future where Microsoft is just a proprietary DE over a Linux system. I don’t think it’s coming anytime soon because of the development cost it would impose, but I don’t see why they would go to such efforts maintaining a system they could get for free if the desktop user base keeps shrinking. They’re just too greedy not to do that. Even the backwards compatibility with Windows software is becoming a solved problem.
Aside from my above rant, the PC is definitely fast becoming an enthusiast/business platform.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 3 days ago:
Precisely. Windows is a side project for Microsoft now.
- Comment on Supreme Court upholds program providing internet access to rural Americans 5 days ago:
I’m quite surprised by this decision. I wonder what’s in it for them.
- Comment on Men tell women to stop complaining, also men every time june rolls around 5 days ago:
This is b8.
- Comment on There's no international protocol on what to do if an asteroid strikes Earth 5 days ago:
We don’t give a shit about anybody else. Our behavior is very consistent. Look at any natural disaster that affects a large area in the message is clear. Get rekt.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Throuple of 7 years here. It absolutely can work, but please exercise extreme caution. It requires a level of discipline and security that just isn’t realistic for most people.
Many people will tell you it doesn’t work out, but the same can be said for relationships in general. There’s always risks. There’s no life worth living without risk. If you want to do this, you need to ask yourself some deep questions and answer honestly before you get hurt.
In the same way relationships aren’t just about sex, you need to know as sure as you can be if you can handle a relationship of three. It’s all the trouble of two and then a huge scoop more. It has got to be worth it, and a lot of it isn’t glamorous.
- Comment on New wealth of top 1% surges by over $33.9 trillion since 2015 – enough to end poverty 22 times over, as Oxfam warns global development “abysmally off track” ahead of crunch talks 6 days ago:
No worries. My dad assures us we’re all gonna be billionaires just give it a little bit more time.
Well, considering the economic situation, there’s always a possibility of runaway inflation and for that to become quite true.
- Comment on I'm bored please amuse me 1 week ago:
It is extremely improbable that we would even exist to be having this conversation.
- Comment on Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably 1 week ago:
I’m planning to die.
- Comment on If you're young you better be reading this with a bunch of friends getting up in your space so they can laugh really close to your ears 1 week ago:
What’s going on with her hand?
- Comment on Firefox 140 Brings Tab Unload, Custom Search & New ESR 1 week ago:
Not everything is Chrome just yet. We still have Gecko and Webkit holding on.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 1 week ago:
It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn’t saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 1 week ago:
Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There’s already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 1 week ago:
I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.
- Comment on Who's up for some hotdickle? 1 week ago:
Would!
- Comment on Do I need to make it anymore obvious? 1 week ago:
They could, in fact, not make it any more obvious.
- Comment on [DHS]Threat to the United States. "Both hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors routinely target poorly secured US networks and Internet-connected devices for disruptive cyber attacks." 1 week ago:
I came here just to write this – I thought we clearly chose to leave behind cybersecurity because education and science are bad.
- Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS 1 week ago:
Then use decentralized links or hashes, which is what IPFS uses to identify content. A character limit doesn’t solve this problem fundamentally. Indeed, it’s been a tough problem to solve for decentralized services.
- Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS 1 week ago:
I’m concerned about the large amount of low quality, vaporware/crypto applications built on IPFS which is the same core technology used here. It’s concerning how many clicks it takes to get technical specs for the underlying work, like libp2p for the network layer, which itself espouses only vague ideas on its main website that seems to focus a lot more on presentation than technical merit. Even the GitHub admits that the spec that most of these apps are relying upon is, well, unspecified.
Your project source downloads and runs an executable. That’s a little bit SUS. It would be much better of you compiled/built this core code as part of your build process, else, it’s not much in the way of source code, no?
I think the biggest tell that IPFS borders on vaporware is that there’s very little discussion about concrete specifications and the main problem faced by all DHTs: how you get your data to actually stay hosted on the network over time. These ideas are not new, and you may be better served building your app on technology that has spent vastly more time understanding the fundamental problems.
- Comment on Meme Mixer 1 week ago:
Excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber.
- Comment on Millions of Americans Who Have Waited Decades for Fast Internet Connections Will Keep Waiting After the Trump Administration Threw a $42 Billion High-Speed Internet Program Into Disarray. 1 week ago:
This is exactly what some of my extended family uses because there’s literally no other option. Not even cellular.
This isn’t even up in the mountains or something. This is just rural Alabama where kids are struggling to do homework because they just don’t have access, and it all but guarantees that their technology skills will remain woefully outdated.
I remember when they had DSL not that long ago and I would turn off updates on everything because it was a complete waste of time to attempt.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 2 weeks ago:
I ask AI to avoid all the AI slop search results I’d have to sift through when I could get my slop delivered directly.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 2 weeks ago:
Aero the Acrobat for GBA.
Cheap Sonic ripoff? I loved that game. Spent many childhood hours and AA batteries playing it and learning every corner of every level.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 2 weeks ago:
Problem is, people want a silver bullet and there just isn’t one.
You need to create an economy that works for everyone where skilled workers from all professions can be successful. You can’t cram everybody into one job and expect everything to just work out.
Just about all jobs are important, and deserve a living wage and fair compensation for that work.
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 3 weeks ago:
Do not visit the USA. Just don’t. Spend your money elsewhere for your sake and for our sake. It’s no good to anybody for you to spend it here right now.
- Comment on YSK Trump is doing a rally at Ft Bragg and you can register online 3 weeks ago:
This looks fake. Real events provide event information before you provide your personal information.
For example, many attendees might want to look up requirements or details about the event. It’s also really suspect that you can only get one ticket per mobile number. What if you have a child who doesn’t have a phone number? What about accessibility? Just follow the instructions we text you?
- Comment on Wish I could get free drinks with my shirt off 3 weeks ago:
My elderly mom did this once in the keys and was disappointed when she was told that it was the guys who were supposed to buy her the free drinks.
