• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I already have some issues with my public tone sounding… Too official. Using the em-dash just makes it seem like I might be a bot. I’m not going to bother with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the em dash and am very upset that AI has stolen it.

  I don’t think it’s just parents falling for this or older people.

  I doubt that.

  Ah. That no upvote rule. I’ve heard tell the corporate overlords don’t like Luigi.

  What “don’t upvote” rule?

  Rofl… Oh. They’re serious. Well. I’m that case. Rotflmfao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't believe we have to say this but, don't use your work email for adult content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At one point the IT department where I work were asking questions about why I tether my phone to my work laptop when I’m out of the office (working from home). I told them very specifically that I would not connect any device I didn’t have administrator control over to my home network. They didn’t ask anymore questions after that. I have a work phone and work laptop for work things. I use both only for work things. I have two personal computers, and two personal phones (one for messing with roms). I don’t need their hardware for anything in my personal life. Nope. Not even a Google search.

  They also asked me if I wanted my personal phone logged into the wifi and I gave them serious side eye before saying no thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google used AI to suspend over 39M ad accounts suspected of fraud⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh the third hand, Google fomented the scam ads that then took over that they are now using their AI tool to solve, and it’s come very late to the table to do so. They shouldn’t have to rely on AI to clean up their mess. They should have been facilitating protocols to vet ads long before now. At best the AI might be faster, but those results will still more than likely need to be checked by people (at the very least, appeals will be, but perhaps most of these scam ad companies won’t try to appeal).

  With the use of AI to deny or approve healthcare insurance claims etc, this is exactly why we should be pushing for legislation that regulates AI. There’s too many people who are all “cats out of the bag” and not enough people going, we should be regulating this.

  The sarcasm lost on you, or?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech tariff exemptions are only temporary, according to Trump’s commerce secretary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, did the market tumble again after he said this nonsense?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Waiting to see if the prices still go up, because between this and the fact that windows 10 support is ending in October, I’m sure these companies are still going to try to gouge people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk's xAI buys social media platform X for $45 billion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know. This sounds like some shit Terry Pratchett wrote about in “Making Money”. Product is making money hand over fist, but never turns a profit so they sell it to themselves with its own money or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok ban loses momentum as fewer Americans view it as a security threat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so tired of people who literally won’t look at their threat model and admit that this app could even potentially be a threat to them in any way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much will the uncomfortable truth of a former employee cost Meta?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The book has some pretty damning first person accounts of several times Meta broke national and international law. The main problem is that currently the US justice system has been castrated and the most egregious of the international law breaking happens in places that don’t have strong government to oppose them (Myanmar etc). This is just from what few excerpts I’ve found online surrounding the controversy of meta trying to silence the author.

  The fact is, meta’s money over everything modus operandi is what got us the current administration in the first place and they’re unlikely to face consequences from that administration as a result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aestik it’s been on my wishlist for awhile and I don’t see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit hints at expanded AI-powered search⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I read your comment and thought I missed something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit hints at expanded AI-powered search⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Google and Reddit had a deal to allow Google to use Reddit’s data for training Gemini. Why would they stop Google from scraping new posts, and when did that happen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing. I did this with two different handhelds. The main problem that I’ve run into is that the built in controls don’t work as well as if they had been natively supported and I would be more than willing to have a fix for that with an official steam OS distro if one was available. The point is, a closed mouth don’t get fed. If they don’t think people want this they aren’t going to dedicate time and resources to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I don’t see how this could be a bad thing for steam OS and the naysayers are out in force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok's Future: New Owners, Even More Censorship.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that all these people seem to think that Tik Tok’s stay of execution isn’t going to lead to any changes. It’s even more humorous to me that they seem to think Trump is doing anything to save it. He has an ulterior motive and it’s not going to be good for the platform. Suppressing information about Tik Tok censorship and or Trump’s involvement in its sale to a different company is silly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emergency Braking Will Save Lives. Automakers Want to Charge Extra for It⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate it. But I can understand why people would want it. It often brakes when it feels I’m not braking enough etc but I’m keeping track of what’s in front and behind me and I would prefer that it didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What handheld PCs should do to fight the Nintendo Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux. They should do Steam OS. Their main downfall right now is windows and the price point. But for the price they often offer better hardware. Steam OS is a much better experience than Nintendo’s ecosystem and the dockability of these handhelds is already on par with the switch. They can do a lot more than the switch and switch two will be able to do with more game availability and game streaming as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goldman Sachs Starts Process of Replacing Bankers With AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they’re upgrading the whole computer system to do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No offense but there are far too many users who are assuming this is because of the “ban”, who haven’t read the law or the bill and don’t function all understand what’s going on. And Tik Tok themselves are taking advantage of that. Spreading misinformation (however unintentional) doesn’t help here and is actively hurting users of the platform and people who want privacy law reform.

  So can we amend the title of this post to factually reflect the situation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Make a new account. And use a VPN because the American accounts have been flagged in Tik Tok and they already know who they are. This is literally Tik Tok disallowing US users to access it, rather than the H. R. 7521 “ban” forcing app stores to remove it from the app store. The law doesn’t remove the app from people’s devices and it doesn’t and can’t force manufacturers to do so. Tik Tok made a statement that they would remove access to US accounts if SCOTUS upheld the new law, and they have followed through on that threat. It’s not even just Tik Tok. Other apps and services owned by Tik Tok or distributed by Tik Tok are also doing this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “How to get around Tik Tom actively banning US Users despite H. R. 7521 not being enforced” FTFY.

  TikTok themselves are blocking these users from the platform on purpose.

  Be warned that it’s big. The screen is beautiful and I really like that aspect of it, but I’m more comfortable with the ROG Ally x because of the size. That being said, I have small hands and I know others didn’t have this problem with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might as well get a laptop???⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Legion Go has a touchpad. I think even the newer one that’s been announced has an (albeit much smaller) touchpad.
