Fizz43··on OneDrive data now has an expiry date
In an enterprise environment onedrive is perfectly fine. Yet so many developers think they're to good for it. They save their things outside of onedrive and low and behold they lose data. Its so dumb and im yet to hear a good reason why they couldnt have used onedrive.
Fizz43··on The circus freaks of open source
Its not up to any of us to be able to stop or police this behavior. It doesnt come from our community even if a subset of those users overlap. I can run the most strict community where this behavior is stomped out but users can still create a KF account and partake in this behavior elsewhere. Ultimately people should not open themselves up to the internet if they are sensitive to these results. There are very cruel people who will dedicate their lives to destroying you but the target need to keep feeding them.

Most people already understand and empathize with people going through a mental health crisis and dont provoke them.

Fizz43··on You can just say it
But they both openly support it and fund it. It just turns out they are not a monolithic group and are split in what they want.
Fizz43··on You can just say it
How do you figure that "the billionaire class" doesnt want those policies? Plenty of examples of them supporting those policies. Seems like the opposition is more to the tax hike they know is coming along side it but even then we still see billionaires supporting those policies.
Fizz43··on Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: analyzing their SSD activity
I dont believe it.
Fizz43··on You Can't Stop This Data Center, a Mom Was Told. She Won't Quit
Its no wonder nothing gets down when you have these kinds of people stepping up and making it their lifes goal to block any change.
Fizz43··on TikTok disproportionately served anti-Democratic videos during the 2024 election
He is openly a marxist leninist communist on his stream. He only lies about his ideology when on other media platforms.
Fizz43··on TikTok disproportionately served anti-Democratic videos during the 2024 election
A lot of "left" creators were attacking the democrats coming up to 2024.
Fizz43··on We've made the world too complicated
I don't see what is wrong with what the author is describing or why it would be causing us stress under the surface. We understand the things around us to the depth that we need. They arent ugly metallic monsters driving down the road, they're cars.

With the internet we are free to learn what we want. We can enjoy the complexities of life and go where our interests take us. Thats a good thing. I learn what I find interesting, others do the same and all of us together can help to build a well rounded resilient society. Its pretty cool actually.

Fizz43··on Forking the Web
>No scripting

Dead on arrival.

Fizz43··on Hosting a site on a Raspberry Pi
whats the risk with a static site genuine question? All I can think of is a CVE in html or nginx that seems pretty rare to me. If you're extra paranoid you can isolate the pi on your network.
Fizz43··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
Radicle is such a cool concept and seems to be working great. The only thing it needs is a better way to search through the projects hosted on each node.
Fizz43··on How to make buffet breakfasts less wasteful
Toast, eggs, sausages, tomato, mushrooms and most of the other things are dirt cheap. Bacons a bit more expensive but I doubt that ever has any left over.
Fizz43··on People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop mandatory Microsoft Account
Dealing drugs like this in broad daylight. People have become so brazen
Fizz43··on Red Teaming Would Fix Liberalism's Crisis
The liberal institutions are filled with people that are illiberal. Liberals need to be more active about disincentivizing this behavior. Its easy to retrospectively make these claims but hard to predict.

A status quo candicate is a meaningless term that would get you laughed at. Hillary was not status quo her policies were advancing democractic agenda aggressively. But if you dont understand politics and you get all your news from bad actors you might think she was a nothing candidate doing nothing. This goes back to my 1st paragraph about illiberal behaviors. Media lying with impunity has got to stop. We need a media that actually tries to inform the public so they can make a decision on actual information.

I dont see how red teaming is anything new in the world of political campaigns. They already poll different strategists and try different things.

Fizz43··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
I assume people are pissed off because its building something that people already hate and its a fully AI generated post that is jarring to read.

Nothing pisses people off faster than calling up and getting put on the line with a robot. Like if we're thinking about this problem and how to solve it we can look at other examples like a website with a booking form,call the mechanics cell directly, hire a receptionist or worst case outsource the receptionist to a booking agency.

Fizz43··on Mozilla to launch free built-in VPN in upcoming Firefox 149
Wouldnt be suprised if they were working on it already
Fizz43··on How kernel anti-cheats work
3060 can run everything
Fizz43··on Have a fucking website
Most people dont have anything interesting to share.
Fizz43··on Nvidia's DLSS 5 uses generative AI to boost photorealism in video games
They dont look real the lighting is terrible. There is lighting that would suggest two light sources on one part and lighting that would suggest one light source on other parts. Its jarring.
Fizz43··on John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists
If you look at it through a lens of a specific theory that may be true. But that theory does not apply nor translate to reality. Everyone already owns captial its called a 401k or investment fund. There is still class. If that was taken 1 step further and everyone owned a part of their workplace there would still be class. Being forced to own your workplace reduces mobility and traps people. Shutting down a coal plant would just cause 1000 layoffs it would financially destroy 1000 people. Its a stupid idea that only children still believe in.
Fizz43··on John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists
How does that prevent anything? You'll still have the exact same issue. Unless you think a google employee would be the same class as a small mom and pop employee just because they both own a share of their workplace.
Fizz43··on Changes to OpenTTD Distribution on Steam
No one should pay for this. The players own the game now not some IP rights vulture.
Fizz43··on How kernel anti-cheats work
Yeah thats a really unpopular opinion. Cheaters dont want to play the game. There is no matchmaking for them that makes sense.

They have inhuman skills usually paired with terrible game IQ and generally awful toxicity. They get boosted up to play with intelligent players purely because they can hold a button to outplay. It gets to the point where you have a player on your team who has no idea how to play but is mechanically good and it breaks the entire competitiveness of the game.

Fizz43··on How kernel anti-cheats work
Mid range hardware can run majority of games at high fps. You can easily leave performance on the table.
Fizz43··on Claude Composer
Because the outcome of that is revolting. Its an insult to humanity. Take a look at the clip of Joe rogan crying over some terrible AI 50cent remix. Its delusional, why would you want people to be like that? I'd never listen to music again if that was all I could listen to.

Think about a world where AI creative works are on equal playing field to human works. The AI can tailor an entire library of work for an individual spitting out hundreds of albums per day. Humans would end up listening to majority AI works just out of sheer volume of production. Any human still creating music would just be making data for AI's to steal and repurpose.

Fizz43··on 2025 was a disaster for Windows 11
I search all the time. If I trusted the AI response i'd be coming away with the wrong answer more often than not. Why would that be a better outcome than spending an extra 30s to get reliable information? Perplexity IS a simple search engine. Its far simpler than google's engine.
Fizz43··on Tech Startups Are Handing Out Free Nicotine Pouches to Boost Productivity
Why is the American tech culture so comically evil. Even if this does boost productivity surely we would think that offering workers addictive substances like nicotine pouches is unacceptable behavior. I cant imagine any of the places I've worked at thinking this was an acceptable idea let alone a good idea.

Maybe im just out of touch.

Fizz43··on 2025 was a disaster for Windows 11
I highly doubt this. As someone who is pretty active in a lot of beginner linux communities its becoming the case that a lot issues are caused by users following LLM instructions and creating issues where there were none.

Example someone will want to configure something and the LLM will give them advice from the wrong distro thats 5 years out of date. If they asked a person or looked on the fourms they'd have got what they wanted in a few mins. Instead they go down a rabbit hole where an LLM feeds them worse and worse advice trying to fix the mountain of issues its building up.

This is for children though. Where is the adult version?
