- Comment on Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC 1 week ago:
Can I chime in without sounding anti-Plex?
There’s nothing wrong with being opposed to enshitified proprietary apps.
- Comment on Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC 1 week ago:
Kodi is far better than either.
- Comment on Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC 1 week ago:
Kodi. So much better than Plex or Jellyfin. Not even in the same category.

I hope people are downvoting the Ring and not the joy of Halloween.
- Comment on Old laptop with non-funtional display... What do I turn it into 5 weeks ago:
Good point.
Full disclosure: While I am very happy with my Kodi setup (see my other comment), I somewhat regret that I didn’t just fix the screen. I fixed the screen of my current laptop and I was surprised by how cheap and easy it was (even though I paid someone else to do it).
- Comment on Old laptop with non-funtional display... What do I turn it into 5 weeks ago:
KODI.
I have a laptop with a broken screen attached to the wall behind my TV. I love my Kodi media station. It might take a while to setup and customize but it’s worth it. I could use the default android TV, but it’s completely commercial and miserable. I use Kodi for: weather, video games (retroarch and steam), music (radio, youtube, mp3s), podcasts, tv shows and movies, youtube… I never leave my Kodi to use the android TV (barf).
Also it doesn’t need to be just a media station. It can probably run a variety of network apps or whatever you please.
- Comment on YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate 2 months ago:
Since “AI” doesn’t exist, it’s absolutely no surprise when an “AI” “AI Detecter” fails to detect “AI”.

- Comment on British mathematician hands OpenClaw agent a credit card 5 months ago:
According to Ali, this data included: “all of her API keys, all of her usernames and passwords, and pretty much everything we’d been talking about so far. Not only did she leak it on the WhatsApp group, but she put it on a publicly available website.”
Her? Don’t drink the kool-aid at work, y’all. Especially if you’re supposed to be doing impartial research. Griftin aint ez.

- Comment on Wikipedia hit by self-propagating JavaScript worm that vandalized pages 8 months ago:
If they don’t tell us the message, how can we tell if it was actually “vandalism”? Why are they hiding the actual message? It’s probably counter to the hegemonic narrative. Instantly removed, covered up, and censored for all time.

- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 8 months ago:
They do it for free for a variety of reasons. All capitalist news is based on serving capital.
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 8 months ago:
They’re a “tech reporter” in the sense that they write puff pieces about Spotify, etc.
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 8 months ago:
It doesn’t sound like they left though. It sounds like they left a totally dysfunctional, useless airport, then decided to complain about the new airport which has a few glitches (for him).
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 8 months ago:
For all the crying… It doesn’t sound like dude puts Windows back on any of these machines… Why is that? Hmmmm lol.

Oh yeah 100%. They’re pushing this attack on kids so that they’re free to push gambling addiction on everybody else.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 8 months ago:
I work in youth crisis support, and I can say that social media addiction is on par with methamphetamine.
No, it’s not. This is absurd.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 8 months ago:
The state’s only means of “helping” kids is attacking kids.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 9 months ago:
Clickbait. It talks about fear of imaginary quantum computing in the headline, while talking about how crypto is resistant to quantum in the actual article.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 9 months ago:
It was only 13,000x faster, and in one specific task
Useless, contrived task.

Are people really too smug to even look at the price charts?
Bitcoin was at $40k two years ago and like $95k today.
