ta9000··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
Right. I guess we’ll have to take his word for it.
ta9000··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
> The NUCLEAR threat regarding the 2026 Winter Olympics (Milano-Cortina) is the real leverage here. He’s bypassing the regulator and putting a gun to the government’s head regarding national prestige and infrastructure security.

Kind of wild that a private company has that kind of power, both in terms of being one of the few that can offer this service and they can make threats at this level.

ta9000··on "Microslop" trends on social media
I’ve only ever had this happen with dual booting as Windows is a noisy neighbor. Try doing a fresh install of just Ubuntu or PopOS.
ta9000··on "Microslop" trends on social media
Just install Linux. You’re only doing this to yourself at this point.
ta9000··on "Microslop" trends on social media
The only way AI is going to kill me is by reading all the constant negative bullshit about “slop”. Seriously, it seems like a quarter of the posts on HN now are bitching about AI. If you don’t like it in Microsoft products, install Linux. I’m now running a fully Microsoft free house for the first time ever. It’s not that hard.

Please point out something you have built and open sourced that’s better. We’ll wait.
ta9000··on Rich Hickey: Thanks AI
They can justify _their_ decisions all they want. It’d still their decision, not AI’s. This is pure cost cutting nonsense that’s par for the course for poorly run corporations.
ta9000··on Rich Hickey: Thanks AI
It wasn’t AI that decided not to hire entry level employees. Rich should be smart enough to realize that, and probably has employees of his own. So go hire some people Rich.
ta9000··on As AI gobbles up chips, prices for devices may rise
This is it. Buy used Dell and HP hardware with 32 GB of RAM and swap the pcie ssd for 4 TB.
ta9000··on The AI bubble is all over now, baby blue
“Have you met Gary Marcus?”
ta9000··on I'm returning my Framework 16
Or just buy a MBP and use MacOS and not worry about any of these problems. I use Linux for everything but my laptop, but I’m not about to deal with a subpar experience when decent laptops are already so expensive.
ta9000··on Vince Zampella, developer of Call of Duty and Battlefield has died
Did you see the speed he was going on a public road? LA drivers are tired of these assholes driving recklessly. It’s gotten incredibly dangerous to drive especially at night after COVID.

It’s this attitude that’s led to us being in this mess. Don’t want to listen to the doctor about basic medical advice? Don’t go to that doctor.

There really is always going to be something. shrug
ta9000··on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns
No one should be buying a SATA SSD in 2025 if they have the option to use a PCIE SSD, which every new motherboard has at least one spot for. This isn’t AI, this is the ending of a standard.
ta9000··on Pope criticizes US bid to 'break apart' US-Europe alliance
This isn’t the US vs EU, it’s Trump vs EU. I don’t know anyone that thinks Russia is more of an ally than the EU.
