  • They’ve legitimately have done this same song and dance like 3 times already. Like 2012ish erra they canceled a facial recognition thing they said they didnt have due to backlash. Their whole auto facial tagging system was another one.

    Now they are contributing to ai segmentation tools that focus on seperating your face so it can be used in nonconsentual ai porn that they have no way of stopping.

    I don’t even know what one they are referencing in this article but they are always working on facial recognition for some reason. If you are on facebook or any of the meta services you are going to be used in their ai to generate porn, or stupid memes you don’t want to be associated with.


  • Your hearts in the right place, but you give them a inch and they’ll take a mile.

    You have to have an absolute stance on things when you make statements online just to match our discontent so the message is clear.

    They’re going to be trying to weasle in regardless, so it’s not productive to assist them in any form. You just have to say a hard no regardless.

    Also any messaging thats longer than a sentence and provides context goes straight in one ear and out the other. Make it simple stupid and make it repeatable.



  • In a place like this sure. Ironically though you don’t want to appeal to people who will have a discussion. Something like memes holds a thousands different meanings in the right context, and your brain picks up on that instantly.

    The people who would never engage can get a distilled version of a 10 paragraph response from a meme, so when they do finally read a long opinionated article or comment, the memes they absorbed have already influenced them to a specific bias.

    I believe we need more memes (NIMBY) on reddit, and to relentlessly make fun of our opposition to the point of it becoming a culture. The gamergate era Republicans are literally using the same exact arguments that they where trained to get triggered at 15 years ago. We need to be creating the equivalent of that.



  • The progress that the steam frame will bring is more important than the steam frame itself.

    The work they put into aarch64 will be really helpful for laptops, and potentially mobile devices. I am really hoping that for mobile phones, becauase the community that came from the steam decks popularity really made more community gaming focused fixes, and programs show up on github. There was life and hope that kind of encourages more people to give a shit or contribute to a community because they believe there is a community.

    Fex is going to be the most important. Right now fex can be utilized to play red dead 2 at 720p 60fps on a midrange pocco phone. And that was from months ago when I last checked on progress. Even if we aren’t directly using arch on arm phones, fex itself can be used on Android which is still helpful.






  • Madthumbs I’m pretty sure just uses ai to summarize things for him. He slips a lot, he had me going for a while but he straight up lied about having used proton to some user, the user told him madthumbs his experience with proton which is what more accurate to what I remembered when steam deck was released. madthumbs then said something like “huh I remember the experience being subjective, but my ai agreed with what you said!” And then just fucked off completely disregarding what he said before.

    He heavily uses ai for his posts too. I mean maybe he is legit and knows what hes talking about but every once and a while it feels like he slips up and I’m unsure. Because a lot of what he says is just basic arguments gemeni will bring up if you ask it “how do I shit on Linux fans” and a lot of stuff he mentions is out dated too. I don’t know.

    Sometimes its also just fun to pretend hes Tim Sweeny getting angry drunk alone in his compound in the shittiest part of the prison belt in the united States. And this is what he does in his free time when not furiously masterbaiting to the thought of gabens penis.



  • I was surprised to know he existed here too not just on reddit.

    He comes off as one of those guys who are against “male genital mutilation”

    Like sure man some times you bring up a solid point, but you’re also being a weirdo by making it your life mission. Also no one asked to you put fake blood on your crotch and march around in public to be made fun of, but there you are doing it. You brought it up a notch for no real reason. Yet no ones reading them, no one cares yet he marches down the street proud in his weird world.

    What I don’t understand is when you get to the point of making your own subreddit where you only talk to yourself, how do you stay motivated? Like I cant imagine what their goals are, or what they think is going to happen. The only coclusion I can come to is linus fucked his mom when he was a kid, and walked in on it.


  • Well I am failing to understand where I am not breaking through with you and feel like you keep getting caught up on small symantics that act more as gatch’yas more than anything. I typed up a different response but after re-reading our messages I kind of just repeat myself, and I don’t think either of us are going to really move forward.

    Any other questions, concerns or points you would like to make?


  • They have the same fears of our tech too, Tesla isnt allowed to have their vehicles in many parts of China due to all its cameras and pings back to the US. All of our software surpremacy is just one super backdoor to the worlds information. Every other country desperately wants to stop that, besides our 5 eyes allies and Israel.

    And sure I did classify what was worse but maybe my wording was a little bad and I’m failing to get my message across. All are bad, we are both pretty much evil countries that abuse human rights. One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.

    What changes is one is directly effecting me and ruling over me. That aspect of it is worse.


  • Ahh so im talking to a Vulcan and I’m not allowed to go on my creative writting tangents. Also you talk like a debate bro I’m going to take your arguments you are trying to make at face value.

    Both are malware, dont care in classifying which one is “worse” when primarilly I only care about the ones who have direct reach and control over my life and how I have to make decisions.

    Our spyware is worse because I have to live directly with it and those are the people forcing computers into cars that we can no longer afford. Tech bros, and data companies are ruining cars. In my mind that’s much worse than a invisible threat that isn’t even allowed to operate here yet just due to the import fees alone. Fuck GM, fuck ford, fuck all them they should of never got bailed out.


  • Its just the way you keep pushing this issue implies that because the forgien one is bad, we should justify the local one being bad.

    If anything I support the forgien one more because you know I expect them to be bad guys. If these entities where people how would you feel with them sleeping with your wife? The “foreigner Chinese bloke” would probably sting when you found out, but it would be nothing in comparison when your good Christian church leader Mr ford does it. Even worse the church leader will gas light you about it not happening, while continuing to double down and bring other guys over to fuck your wife. And he can only do this because hes local.


  • I classify anything thing that’s not foss as malware/spyware, and even then I cant even fully trust that.

    If you really want to go down the rabbit hole the only thing that will end up making sense is temple OS. But no one really cares that much about privacy to be that inconvienced.

    It was more to point out that its kind of hypocritical because its not like we aren’t doing the same thing. If anything I see the US goverment as a more of a threat because everything they do is directly effecting me. With China I cant be certain and can only blindly speculate what bad stuff is happening. I don’t directly see how I’m getting fucked so theres some willful ignorance I enjoy having occasionally. Its not like here how they use the cars meta data to make your insurance rates go up, or deny you coverage in a crash because they can point at a metric. Theres no face to the evil.
