- Comment on so i have an ultimatum... 1 day ago:
I didn’t imagine I’d be fighting for internet freedom alongside TempleOS!
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 4 days ago:
Say anything that pops into your mind to keep the hype train going, huh Sam?
- Comment on TBD on that 5 days ago:
My mom would pull them out of the sand with her hands.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
It’s great for multitasking. I’ve seen phones boot and already consume 3-4GB of RAM. Alas, that’s how much some of this software uses now, depending on your needs.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
What appears to be common sense to you is hardly common sense to the consumer. I choose to be more inclusive thinking of a person who might not necessarily know what 8 GB means. That’s a ton of Apple’s customers.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
Just to play devil’s advocate: a smartphone is definitely a computer and has no trouble competing with older laptop CPUs in benchmarks. I see this as a difference without a distinction beyond form factor.
8GB is 💯 barely serviceable. I see this is a product for a casual user only, with excellent build quality.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
The only potential concern I have is in considering how much casual PC market is left in the industry. I thought these users moved on to mobile, ergo leaving enthusiasts and professionals behind years ago as the remaining users. It might also cannibalize sales of their more powerful laptops because: who are the laptop buyers now? Where are they? Surely Apple did a market study, and they look set to completely dominate whatever’s left.
If I wasn’t going to use Linux, it would be Mac. Quite compelling despite the lower memory because are in an expensive market.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 1 week ago:
They’re not alone, either. I had to downgrade my Visio just to use the features that it shipped with. I’m sure this is illegal, but no one cares unless you’re rich.
- Comment on OpenAI on Surveillance and Autonomous Killings: You’re Going to Have to Trust Us 2 weeks ago:
Trust me! Pay no attention to the huge heaps of cash money.
- Comment on Day 600 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
I love this game. It’s chill.
- Comment on Senators Launch New Effort to Ban Federal Elected Officials Profiting from Prediction Markets 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure we have laws. It depends heavily on who you are whether or not they are enforced. They are more notional generalisms of what we think the law ought to be rather than what it actually is.
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 2 weeks ago:
Definitely share your concern. Without strong review processes to ensure that every line of code follows the intent of the human developer, there’s no way of knowing what exactly is in there and the implications for the human users. And I’m not just talking about bugs. How do you know there isn’t malware?
They say it’s reviewed, but the temptation to blindly trust is there.
- Comment on Senators Launch New Effort to Ban Federal Elected Officials Profiting from Prediction Markets 2 weeks ago:
Why make it so specific? Can’t we make it illegal to benefit from material, non-public information?
This is still insider trading, which ought to be illegal.
- Comment on New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice 2 weeks ago:
Hm, good point. Perhaps the overconfidence AI might provide is even worse than knowing you don’t know.
- Comment on New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice 2 weeks ago:
Mixed feelings about this. Let me play devils advocate and say that many Americans don’t have access to these resources at all. Having potentially inaccurate resources might be better than nothing, or is that worse?
- Comment on Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. 2 weeks ago:
Can’t wait for distros to post a disclaimer that this software is strictly intended only for use on the moon.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 2 weeks ago:
Counterpoint: Phone CPUs can rival yesterday’s desktops.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
Fantastic. Excellent news! I would expect nothing less.

I can believe.

Luxury bones here probably thinks you need a separate weekend and events car.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that data. I had no idea.
- Comment on Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich 4 weeks ago:
That social rot you smell? It’s you. You’re the social rot.
- Comment on Microsoft 365 Copilot Mobile: Auto Uploads to OneDrive Raise Privacy Risks 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had my files force uploaded to OneDrive even before the slop. They don’t understand consent. Don’t use their software if you can avoid it.
- Comment on TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years 4 weeks ago:
I appreciate that it doesn’t shy away from pointing a finger at capitalism.
- Comment on Nomenclature 4 weeks ago:
I’m really digging BLORB.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 4 weeks ago:
I don’t even care if the autopilot was at fault or not in this case. I’m just here to say fuck that guy!
- Comment on What can you host with limited bandwidth but lots of storage? 4 weeks ago:
I have my seed box limit upload bandwidth to quite a low value, not because I hate leechers, but because I have to spread out my available data cap to maximize availability of over the long term. If I blow through my data in three days I’m not as much good to the network.
- Comment on What can you host with limited bandwidth but lots of storage? 4 weeks ago:
Seed. I’d rather have at least one whole copy in a swarm versus a bunch of really fast peers that don’t have the complete files.
- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 5 weeks ago:
I had to revert the firmware on a TV because it effectively bricked itself when the software was no longer supported. I don’t connect these things to the Internet. They will simply display what I tell them to.
