- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago:
For all the crying… It doesn’t sound like dude puts Windows back on any of these machines… Why is that? Hmmmm lol.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
It was only 13,000x faster, and in one specific task
Useless, contrived task.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
Are people really too smug to even look at the price charts?
Bitcoin was at $40k two years ago and like $95k today.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
Let’s take our money out of BTC and invest it in
fusion power plants and jetpacks and hover boards insteadwar, prisons, genocide, etc.Just being realistic.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
It’s not even close lol why the panic
The quantum grift is very similar to the “AI” grift.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
Businesses/orgs that have smart leaders are already implementing (or have already completed implementing) post-quantum encryption algs/methods into their systems to protect them for when quantum computers and quantum programming mature,
Is it actually smart though? Or are these people simply panicking about technology that may never exist?
And there’s really no technical reason why crypto can’t switch to quantum safe encryption. The better cryptos are already transitioning.
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 5 weeks ago:
It’s just WMF selling the work of free volunteers to the worst grifters on the planet for a quick buck.
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 5 weeks ago:
Why they would do it when this hurts their own business is beyond me.
$$$. Duh. The wikipedia dude has always been a “libertarian” (aka capitalist shill).
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 5 weeks ago:
People doing free labor for this “libertarian” somehow surprised when dude sells their work to the worst grifters imaginable.

- Comment on AI Agents Break Rules Under Everyday Pressure— Shortened deadlines and other stressors caused misbehavior 2 months ago:
The anthropomorphic grift is strong here.
AI Agents
There are no “agents” just computers.
Break Rules
Computers don’t “break rules”.
Under Everyday Pressure
Computers don’t experience pressure.
caused misbehavior
Computers don’t “misbehave”. They function unexpectedly especially under abnormal conditions.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 months ago:
It’s absolutely harmful to waste resources on worthless grifting at the expense of the planet and people suffering from very real deprivation.
That’s why it’s the same people promoting both the grift and the deprivation.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 months ago:
They don’t need their bullshit grift to look good. They’re going to build it anyway.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 months ago:
TBH the billionaires might survive along with other cockroaches. They’ll at least outlast the plebs above ground…
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 months ago:
This is a thing only a person that thinks space is magic would think is a good idea.
Pretty sure this is a primary basis of scientific “education”, worship of the moon/mars, etc.
It’s always been about extracting resources from rubes while actual humans suffer.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 months ago:
Yeah, but that’s the point. It’s a boondoggle. Grifters need a bottomless hole for marks to pour money down.

- Comment on Amazon is testing an AI tool that automatically translates books into other languages 3 months ago:
And absolutely zero “AI” was used.
Apparently people will believe that any app is somehow “intelligent”.
- Comment on Amazon is testing an AI tool that automatically translates books into other languages 3 months ago:
I remember when this was called a translator app. Ofc now it’s “AI”. Same old grifter slop.

Peak lib delusions.
- Comment on The Game Theory of How Algorithms Can Drive Up Prices 3 months ago:
Laws against “price fixing” have always been a joke. The state serves capital.
