- Comment on Mozilla using Claude Mythos AI Preview to help fix major security issues in Firefox 2 days ago:
Being they’ve been all-in on AI since the beginning, and it was omitted from their blog post, I’m gonna venture a guess that no one verified these supposed vulnerabilities.

Yeah I’m well aware. Both options are shit.

For a fee, no doubt

And yet the layoffs continue…

Presumably they have internet on these ships, yes.

Thanks. I’m not entirely pro-piracy but in the case of Denuvo I will make an exception.

Played the demo and it was pretty great but I’m not going anywhere near anything with Denuvo.

Its only a matter of time before they get Chat Control as well.
Nowhere is safe anymore.
- Comment on Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators 1 week ago:
The main issue isn’t even the technology itself, it’s that it’s Meta and owned by the Zuck.
There are a thousand corporations tripping over themselves to out-horrify the public.
I’m sure there are ways to engineer this so the data stays on device and use it for specific scientific purposes exclusively.
I’m sure there are but if you see one in public, how would you know? Best just to ban them all.
- Comment on Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators 1 week ago:
them because the tech wasn’t there yet 10 years ago.
That’s not true. They didn’t take off because they boiled the frog too fast. They were rejected by polite society. That society is gone.

…in pursuit of what?
- Comment on Framework tease new hardware and something big for Linux too 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I dont understand what you’re trying to say here. This is a piece of hardware manufactured by a 3rd party to fit in a Framework chassis, seemingly without their involvement.
AFAIK the only software development Framework participates in is just basically ensuring hardware compatibility with Linux distros.
- Comment on Framework tease new hardware and something big for Linux too 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s more of a software issue.

ID verification*
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t. There are lots of other ways. Gambling is a heavily regulated industry. Valve just sidesteps this by not being designated as such.
I do want parents to do their job. The problem is they don’t. And who suffers when they don’t? Not me, not you, and not the parents. Its the children.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
Ager verification is absolutely not a necessity to curtail gambling, obviously.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
It’s honestly tiring of hearing people demanding companies to “protect the children” when many parents do fuck all to protect or educate THEIR children.
That’s exactly why they need to do more… Children shouldn’t be forced to suffer because corporations exploit them and their shitty parents.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
Laying off employees is not a sign of being unsuccessful. In fact, in many cases it’s the opposite. Also Epic as a storefront is horrific, and Tim is a cunt, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that very few people actually buy from them.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
Steam is a multi-billion dollar company and Gabe owns like 4 yachts. They can easily afford to lower their commission.
- Comment on RAM Prices Are Killing Small Gaming Devices 2 weeks ago:
RAM prices are affecting all types of compute hardware. Many businesses are going to go under completely.
Unfortunately we’ve allowed these companies to ship unrepairable trash for years, so I hope you’re pinching your pennies for when you need a new computer, because you’re gonna get absolutely raked over the coals for it.

- Comment on ONLYOFFICE suspends Nextcloud partnership over unapproved 'Euro-Office' fork 3 weeks ago:
According to ONLYOFFICE, “[we have] spent years building a fully functional, production-ready online document editor”. It claims Euro-Office “uses technology derived from ONLYOFFICE editors” in violation of the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL v3) under which the code is distributed.
“The “Euro-Office” initiative represents an evident and material violation of ONLYOFFICE licensing terms and of established principles of international intellectual property law. We require full and immediate compliance with all applicable licensing conditions, including — but not limited to — the preservation of ONLYOFFICE branding, logo, and all required attribution elements as defined in our licensing terms.”
- Comment on Do you think we should have an index of how ethical gaming companies are? 3 weeks ago:
It would be personal opinion, obviously.
One thing I’ve started seeing more of is “scores” where the user is able to actually add multipliers to different characteristics to help them find something that suits their personal needs.

Probably because I didn’t say all. I clearly said most.
- Comment on A free VPN you can trust, now built into Firefox | The Mozilla Blog 4 weeks ago:
This is just not true.
Proton offers a completely free VPN that does not exploit you. I mean, it sucks, and the goal is to convince you to pay, but it is free.
Further, most of the time, even if you pay, you are still the product. As in, they exploit your data nonetheless.
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 4 weeks ago:
I mean the setup thing is important though. Things like setting up a local account are mandatory and super important. That’s why most Linux distros have something similar. I will agree that it should be skippable though, for advanced users.
