LightBug1··on US oil reserves are so low, the caverns holding them could be damaged
I'm no fan of Mr Schumer. However, perhaps he was of the opinion that US-Israel wouldn't have been as stupid as they were to go war with Iran in the way that they did.
LightBug1··on AI agents lie, cheat and steal. That is putting off users
Oh, definitely a tongue in cheek comment ... perhaps it's like trying to control mercury ...

Maximise for crusades, jihads or traumatized alter boys ... or maximise for complete moral decay via lying, cheating and stealing. Choose your poison.

And don't get me wrong. There are some wonderful relgious and spiritual characters out there ... they're just drowned out by the power sirens and corrupt leaders.

LightBug1··on AI agents lie, cheat and steal. That is putting off users
Need to introduce AI to God, LOL

Baptise the agents.

Introduce them to the dharma.

Get them to recite the Shahada.

Hold a Bar Mitzvah.

Brand some of their silicon with hot irons.

Turn them to the light, LOL

You throwing shade?

LightBug1··on Waymo in Dallas
What's the product vs an Uber? Genuine question.
LightBug1··on How Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
Exactly the same trajectory / story this side. Tragic ... but fond of those hopeful / naive days.
LightBug1··on How Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
Yeah, fuck Google for all of this.

That's my intellectually considered response.

Fuck Google.

LightBug1··on Oil companies report sky-high profits thanks to wartime crude prices
Grotesque, but unsurprising
LightBug1··on French musician Kavinsky found dead
RIP ... loved his work.

Glen Hansard gone too.

Shit day for music. But they'll always live on from their incredible contributions.

LightBug1··on Android May Soon Restrict On-Device ADB
"AI ... please create a very efficient emulator which will take an Android app, and convert it to any other operating system"

Anyone up for the challenge? Or a better solution.

Fuck this bullshit. It's only going to get worse.

LightBug1··on Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
How about: excellent technology will demand premium prices, and hence will have the capital to back it ... horseshit technology will die a death, and any horseshit capital that backed it.

Opening up will make things more efficient and at least give said horseshit capital a chance at being redeployed elsewhere a slightly higher chance of being successful.

LightBug1··on Converting Files into Minecraft Worlds
HACK THE PLANET !!!!
LightBug1··on SpaceX stock erases all its gains and slides below IPO price in intraday trading
It's ok. Let the Musk-riders enjoyed their ride ...

Elon bought them an imaginary horse ...

LightBug1··on Microsoft deleted my account and OneDrive
What a bunch of wankers ...

Timely reminder to back every fucking thing up.

Trust none of these valley assholes to do the right thing.

Just make sure YOU do the right thing.

LightBug1··on Grok CLI uploaded the whole home directory to GCS
Jesus ... I feel a Bill Hicks sketch coming on ...
LightBug1··on Grok 4.5
Bullshit argument. If people care about shit, they might not eliminate everything, they do what they reasonably can.

Do what you can, if you can, how you can, when you can.

Not, ohhhh, "If you drink water, you're still using MS servers, I'm very intelligent".

I thought that meme was well understood by now.

LightBug1··on Bring back crappy forums
True, but I genuinely think we lost something over the years. This all might be a feeling that we lost what was, and that we know we can do it again, but it's impossible to replicate what we had (format and, more importantly, the users).

It might not be a platform issue, but a "corporate X decide to scrap forum Y", and it never was the same again.

I've seen this a few times, and it basically blew up incredibly tight and excellent groups.

LightBug1··on Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers
I submit that the human brain isn't equipped to handle control of multi-hundreds of billions of dollars cap and the working lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals. Particularly if you're morally suspect to begin with.

This is just one of countless obvious examples.

LightBug1··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
Digital preppers ...

Starting to sound logical right about now ...

LightBug1··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
LOOOOOOOOOOOL

USA RIP.

LightBug1··on [dead]
Hey USA ... your administration has lost its freaking mind ... literal 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' territory ...

I hope you survive this.

RIP.

LightBug1··on Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users
Who said the UK is going to ban VPN?

Genuine question. That's news to me and I'm here.

LightBug1··on Fox to buy Roku
WTF? .. yuck

Well, it's been 5 years ... time to switch out my Roku for something better ...

One of the great things about Roku is it's minimal expense ... which means I won't think twice to swap out for anything else.

LightBug1··on Foreign business owners are scrambling to raise capital to stay in Japan
I just would like to say a respectful and courteous "thank you" to Japan.

Thank you taking this "ex-pat" off our hands.

Cheers.

LightBug1··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
You are very intelligent......

https://iea.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mister-gotcha-...

To be clear, the job of the ordinary citizen in this situation is not to opt out. I criticise China often and yet my phone has Chinese chips. Would you have me shut up about China?. And so it is with Israel.

The job of the ordinary citizen is to do what they reasonably can to protest the gen0cidal, N'azi behaviour of its current administration with the support of a significant percentage of its populous.

Given how the troubles have turned a significant number of the population into blood-thirsty land thieves, the country should be de-N'azified like they did to Germany after WW2.

You're welcome.

LightBug1··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
I didn't downvote you. You're Jewish (I stand side by side with Jewish brothers and sisters against Israel), you've expressed disagreements with the Israeli government. We're likely on a similar page then.

However:

> There are plenty of good things though - startups in the biotech/health/classic "tech" space.

Besides the point. I truly won't touch anything from that Apartheid, gen0cideal state.

c.f. the boycott of South Africa during Apartheid. Same principle.

LightBug1··on Palantir loses legal challenge against Swiss investigative magazine
.ph has been down (for me) the last few weeks ... but is up today.

.md is a good alt (for me)

LightBug1··on Palantir loses legal challenge against Swiss investigative magazine
Good point. Thank you.
LightBug1··on Palantir loses legal challenge against Swiss investigative magazine
Excellent.

Although, while I enjoy watching them lose. I don't appreciate the waste of time.
