Holyginz ,

When I was young my hair was longer and it poofed out. Add to that glasses and me being awkward and a bunch of people would call me napoleon dynamite. Definitely contributed to me not liking it that much.

Holyginz ,

You know. I'm tired of seeing images of ceos and executives who have done none of the work for technologies alongside a picture of said technology. Show me a picture of Devin and the other engineers who spent all the hours figuring it out instead.

Holyginz ,

Children obeying you because they are afraid of being beaten isn't having authority over them. Its abuse, but sure, fall back on racism to feel superior.

Holyginz ,

Sure sure, keep going. You are TOTALLY getting back at me. Go on, keep trying the tough guy act. If nothing else it's amusing.

Holyginz ,

It's a troll. I doubt they have a kid or married based on their responses. And if they do I feel bad for them. Most of the time if the comment is overly antagonistic they just want to get a rise out of someone since their life is empty and it's the only way they can feel a spark of enjoyment in their life. You have done literally nothing wrong here and you don't owe anyone an explanation.

Holyginz ,

Absolutely. I am not very good at it myself, but the best way to deal with these people is to ignore them. Without attention they get bored and do other stuff. Either that or you fight their nasty by being nasty in return. But they have no shame so you kind of have to sink to their level. I will admit I do that from time to time myself to release steam, but its not great for your mental state to do it a lot. Sorry about the ton of unsolicited advice, I just hate seeing it when trolls are tormenting people about things they have no business talking about.

Holyginz ,

But just one singular suck per slice right?

Holyginz ,

Who told you to say that? Seriously you obviously didn't think it up yourself since everyone of you sounds the exact same, so who is it who owns you?

Holyginz ,

Because some of the dumbest people in the world are the ones who told them to say it.

Holyginz ,

Your point?

Holyginz ,

I'm going to bring tape and construction paper to cover it up. Double sided sticky tape

Holyginz ,

I take small pleasure in the fact that any ads I see I have no intention of ever purchasing their shit. I would actively tell people to avoid it as well. We literally have ads shoved in our faces 24/7 and the amount I have after bills and shit is already earmarked so the ad companies can go shove a baseball bat up their ass.

Holyginz ,

Careful, your ignorance is showing

Holyginz ,

Lmao, it's cute how you think you have some moral/ethical high ground here. Wouldn't be at all surprised if you have this view because no one would want you around no matter where you happened to be. Run along little troll.

Holyginz ,

Oh bless your heart. I'm not talking about your online friends who wouldn't travel across the street to see you. Don't worry, someday I'm sure someone will be able to tolerate being around you. Run along now.

Holyginz ,

Lol, nice try kid

Holyginz ,

You have a good point. Obviously we should vote for it to happen faster rather than try to use the slow descent to fix things.

Holyginz ,

The little bit you have actually said has indicated that and you have done absolutely nothing to refute it so my advice is that sarcasm only works when the targeted recipient of it has been shown you would only say it sarcastically.

Holyginz ,

You will learn eventually

Holyginz ,

No, the standards people are applying to it are the bare minimum for a full self driving system like what musk claims.

Holyginz ,

This is a terrible fucking idea.

Holyginz ,

They are likely stealing wages so who gives a shit

Holyginz ,

Without having looked at any of the subscription changes, my guess is they increased subscription costs with minimal if any increases in offered services. Is that correct?

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

Holyginz ,

Lol, wake up man, the free market hasn't been free for years now.

Holyginz ,

It's already bad, they don't have to do anything to make it bad. The real issue will be if they try to make it so it's AI or nothing.

Holyginz ,

Time to start sailing the seven seas. Seriously though, these companies are herding people into piracy with their predatory approaches.

Holyginz ,

I haven't been a kid for a while now, but a cuppa tea does sound quite nice.

Holyginz ,

All good. No offense was taken, my comment was also meant to be playful. Like, damn a cup of tea as a break from adulting would be amazing lol.

Holyginz ,

Fine, don't use power from nuclear reactors. You can sit in the dark with your bronze age book and talk about how actual positive steps forward are an affront to an ideology from back when people thought the sun rose because it was pulled by a chariot across the sky.

Holyginz ,

And? If they were paid adequately they wouldn't have too and even if they are paid adequately its their body and their decision.

Holyginz ,

It's their server. If the instances don't like it they can leave.

Holyginz ,

Fuck that. We don't have to give them anything. They need to show they actually have put in the effort to protect their viewers. Until then, I refuse to do anything less than use everything available to me to block their ads. The days of whitelisting websites is over.

Holyginz ,

This has to be one of the stupidest takes ive seen. They aren't innovating, they are making it so things break after set amounts of time, you cant repair it without massive headaches and the expense of proprietary parts, so people end up basically having to buy a new device that is either the exact same or had only a few changes to it but costs more money than the original. That's not innovation, that's just a cash grab.

You may be offered a free premium Telegram subscription – but please don’t accept (archive.is)

Telegram is giving away FREE Premium subscriptions! All they need from you is to use your cell phone as a relay to text out their OTP codes! And the recipient of the OTP sees your phone number! What could POSSIBLY go wrong with this deal?...

Holyginz ,

...are you high?

Holyginz ,

They can't use just any old piece of quartz so this info is worthless to the discussion.

Holyginz ,

No, you are talking out your ass so people downvote you. Simple as that.

Holyginz ,

Huh. Well it certainly would make sense to blame Apple at least partially if that information is correct. Which then means that the article is real but you fail to actually understand it and it's implications.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

Holyginz ,

Boo fucking hoo, android has done it for years and is fine. Apple doesn't want to do it because if they don't they can charge as much as they want for things because you can only get it from them. If they put half as much into innovation as they do into walling everything off they might actually have new ideas instead of the exact same phone with minor hardware and software upgrades that makes it the exact same phone but with a heftier price tag each subsequent generation.

Holyginz ,

I mean, I'm using the fold 3 which I am really liking and is definitely something new. But it is true more could be being done.

Holyginz ,

I hate to say it man, but you are talking to a brick wall. That don't understand, and more importantly they don't want to understand.

Holyginz ,

Lol, try and lecture all you want little troll, you are just making yourself look like even more of a tool and a child. I couldn't care less either way what your opinion is because you have literally no idea what anyone else's circumstances are and you think you are better. Go study more and do a little more growing up next time you think you have any leg to stand on in judging what others situations are.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

Holyginz ,

I refuse to call Twitter X. It sounds like what an edgy teen would call a website and I also refuse to go along with anything an ass clown like elon wants.

Holyginz ,

Seriously. They come up with something like this and the FIRST thing they freaking think of is to use it to work while sleeping? I know they have tested their own product because they are STILL dreaming!

Holyginz ,

I love this poem. Definitely saving for later. I dont know what I will do with it other than reread it from time to time, but that is enough for me.

Holyginz ,

To be fair though, with those kinks there's a pretty big difference between always being pushed into that situation instead of in a controlled environment you prepared for, interactions you planned out with peope who you trust to a certain degree with safety put in place for a pre-specified amount of time.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

Holyginz ,

I love this comment lol

Holyginz ,

Even if it didn't, what's the point in spoiling the fun fantasy that it did? I choose to think of it happening fondly.

Holyginz ,

With them it's at least more understandable cause a lot of them it's desperation. I don't have sympathy for the ones who are desperate because they don't want to pay child support, but I atleast understand it. The nosy cultists just want to be superior
