  • Right, can't have records of illegal raids, theft or murder uploaded somewhere before they can destroy/confiscate them...

  • Thing is, I want really a fan of boybands back then, so I have no idea why it hit me so hard now - I didn't hate them, but I preferred other things. This song though, welp, hook, line and sinker. I even love the silly wink-wink-nodge-nudge lines like "boys are in sync" - I'm literally listening to the song as I write this, but the way :D

  • Released literally this week: On-lyne "Party of your lifetime". It's from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it's basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It's like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I've been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P

  • Next step: sue the power companies for providing electricity to the bad, nasty pirates, their landlords for allowing the egregious acts of piracy on their property, and their mothers for not raising them right... /facepalm

  • Elden Ring and most other soulslikes - I don't have the skill, time or will to "git gud" at them, but they are a beautiful spectacle and a joy to watch, especially when watching someone who plays really well.

  • Yup, most of the internet is now sadly an ad-infested monetized corporate hellhole, and as a bonus it's now rapidly being filled to the brim with AI slop, because it clearly wasn't bad enough just yet... :(

  • Warning: non-transparent walls, window blinds and door locks prevent lawful interception and surveillance - how are the authorities supposed to know you're not doing something naughty in there?

  • It's always porn, isn't it? We don't need to protect children from misinformation, fascism, violence, racism, discrimination or exploitation on the internet, it's always just porn for some reason...

  • An argument on the level of "I just wanted to rob him, but he started screaming, so I simply had to kill him. It could have been bloodless, but he had to ruin it..."

  • You mean constant invasive surveillance is actually counterproductive AND expensive? But, but, but, all those AI tech-bros told us it would make the line go more up faster! That's why we gave them billions of dollars! How could that happen!? Who could predict humans don't enjoy feeling like prisoners under constant watch?

  • Not really, because I normally don't even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I've been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don't want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.

  • "Ozymandias Clock" would perhaps be a more fitting name...

  • Yes,and then the trans drag queens will start raping children with those joints and their BLT BBQ agenda! And the sun will go dark, and the milk in cows' udders will go sour, and then banned books are going to rain from the sky, right Ron?

  • Out of curiosity, since I switched from Windows to Mint recently so I'm not married to it just yet - what would be your recommended distro for Windows users that uses a better/newer tech stack? Mint worked out of the box for me, but if love to try other distros too if they're better.

  • The anti-AI knee-jerk reactions can be extreme, I agree, but at the same time one of important features of Mastodon is that your feed is nor controlled by an algorithm in any way.

    So when a company comes, takes those posts and screws with them to create an algorithm to show them, I understand people getting angry - at least some of them joined to be free of that exact thing...

  • The wildest part is that he's surprised that Mastodon peeps would react negatively to their posts being scrapped without consent or even notification and fed into an AI model. Like, are you for real dude? Have you spent more than 4 seconds on Mastodon and noticed their (our?) general attitude towards AI? Come the hell on...

  • That's too bad, because the 1% that most politicians listen to and/or take bribes from is very strongly for it, so, ya know...

  • The Bethesda of old is long dead. After the disappointment that was Starfield, it will take multiple rave reviews and watching a few streamers playing on Twitch for me to even consider giving them any money. And I sure as hell will not be paying for goddamned mods, not now and not ever. Eff that and eff the greedy assholes that now run Bethesda.

  • Yet another childish tantrum? Wow, is it another day ending with "y" already? How time flies...

    Do it you pathetic spoiled manchild, stop flapping your gums and actually bloody do it.
