- Comment on Nvidia hotfix targets broken GeForce driver that followed previous broken GeForce driver 1 day ago:
Heres some advice that has always served me well “update bad”.
The problem is in the past it was a joke but these days with rampant enshittification updates truly are bad.
If your system is doing what you want it to do then don’t update it, there is no need to mess with success.
- Comment on Upcoming California law to require operating systems to check your age 4 days ago:
Fortunately linux users are quite privacy focused so there is sure to be several distros that will ignore this stupid bullshit. Unfortunately the general public are morons and will just accept it without question when it shows up in the majority of OS’s.
The days of needed a VPN just to install and OS are looming and I am going to do anything I need to never fucking give any OS so much as a fake birthday because I should have to and I don’t fucking want to.

If you are unable to recognize this as the trojan horse that it is then you should seriously re-evaluate your observational skills.

- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 4 weeks ago:
Admittedly, I dont have the right answer. I feel it is undeniable that social media is a net negative for society. But I DO know what the wrong answer is, banning something never works. It seems instead to make it more popular.
If you want my opinion I can give you that. Keep in mind I am an idiot with a bleeding heart.
Societey is broken, social media is toxic because modern society is as well. People are considered stupid, pathetic, weak, or worse “woke” if they dare care for another. We need to teach empathy not censor websites.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 4 weeks ago:
So fucking stupid, it’s not going to get or keep anyone off of social media. They will just get pushed to shady sites that won’t bother to comply or they will lie about their age.

- Comment on When work has you travelling but there's ARC to be raided... 2 months ago:
In my experience the “cable box” in the rooms are almost always accessible just unplug the HDMI from it and use that. Then you don’t even have to figure out what button on the remote or tv changes inputs.

Pro tip, bring a dock or at least a usb c to hdmi cable when you travel so you can use the tv in the room.
- Comment on LTT Guesses price, 699USD, eats whole cake if hes 60USD off 2 months ago:
They have been in the top 10 for years as far as I know. While it’s commendable it does not change the fact that linus is a self aggrandizing shit.

“Unimpressed” is the wrong word for how most people see AI. Exasperated, annoyed, angry or disgusted are all more accurate.

So now you are going to put words in my mouth too, neat. Why don’t you just go ahead and tell me what my opinion is since you seem to know it so well.
I play games that I enjoy period. the article was silly good fun which was the spirit of my comment as well but for some dumbass reason you decided to get offended.
I also don’t like most AAA games either, I know what I like and I’m not going to virtue signal to get fake internet points.
