VCFundedGenYer··on F-Zero X on Nintendo 3DS
AI slop port. The gaming world doesn't need any more of these.
VCFundedGenYer··on R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs
Good. Glad some folks in the community still have backbones to stand up to this, unlike the likes of Linus Torvalds, Debian, etc.

AI needs to be shamed in FOSS. It's not good. This fad will die eventually.

VCFundedGenYer··on AI-Assisted Paper on Z-Library Cites a TorrentFreak Article That Doesn't Exist
> most of the citations in articles in the humanities are really not needed.

Um, no, that is entirely wrong.

Citations are always mandatory.

Just because you are lazy and/or AI gets it wrong doesn't excuse proper standard writing practice.

VCFundedGenYer··on The Missed Opportunities of Sonic 06 (2025)
The only version of SA1 I played as a kid was the Gamecube DX version. I was shocked to find out that the original version looks and plays a lot better (and has far fewer bugs)
VCFundedGenYer··on I turned my TV into a Game Boy Color with a Pokemon town as my home screen
Has a long way to go. Many errors here, and any true fan or historian of Nintendo would see them immediately.

The startup screen is the Game Boy Advance, not Color.

The Pokemon center building is completely messed up.

The sprites are a bizarre and somewhat inaccurate mishmash of the RBY and GSC games. Only GSC were coded with GBC colors (Yellow was a bit of a middle ground, Red and Blue were only GB coded)

At least he's saying Game Boy and not the incorrect "Gameboy" that most people type wrong.

VCFundedGenYer··on Shitter – A Nitter Fork
You're just objectively wrong. There is no reason to entertain a Nazi website. You sound hurt as if you work for X.
VCFundedGenYer··on When the Term "Heatwave" Is No Longer Enough
Words are words. The term does what it says on the tin. No change is needed. Article is whiney.
VCFundedGenYer··on Pentagon grants DHS permission to test heat ray weapon for use at border
You don't seem to be grasping the severity of the situation if all you care about is "what do you want as a replacement?"
VCFundedGenYer··on A farewell to Arc browser
Yet another browser built out of the hype cycle with functionality that firmly and only belongs as a Firefox/Chrome extension.

Won't be missed.

VCFundedGenYer··on Is this the new cyber normal?
That's not true. The vuln was exploited and utilized within minutes of the disclosure.
VCFundedGenYer··on Is this the new cyber normal?
I hope not. A lot of LLM assisted vulnerability stuff has been noise, slop, fluff, or fake/false data. Drowns out the real issues.
VCFundedGenYer··on Docker is weird
Docker does not need root.

Side note almost nothing about Docker is weird. This article chooses rather boring design decisions and picks on them.

VCFundedGenYer··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
FYI, Nintendo probably already saw this and is going to instaban anyone who attempts this.

They are the worst of the worst when it comes to nuking systems from orbit.

VCFundedGenYer··on What’s getting pwned right now
AI slop site. At least change the fonts and don't use the stereotypical smelly AI aesthetic.
VCFundedGenYer··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
Is this a parody article?

This is like saying "Linux source code leaked"

VCFundedGenYer··on Plex laid off the whole player team
I don't understand why anyone continues to give Plex the time of day. Jellyfin has far and away eclipsed them.
VCFundedGenYer··on The No Kings Takedown Is Why You Shouldn't Rent Your Megaphone from Zuck
No it isn't. Cite your sources.

Also a reminder that Mastodon isn't one place. It's a network of instances. Bluesky is one and only one.

VCFundedGenYer··on Patch the Planet: global response coordination as agents uncover vulnerabilities
This is an insult to actual security researchers and engineers. What a bunch of nonsense words.

OpenAI consistently doesn't know what they're talking about.

VCFundedGenYer··on Pillowfort Is Closing
Tumblr died when they banned NSFW content.
VCFundedGenYer··on SaaS Is Dead
> Not everyone sees things the same!

False. People just see things wrongly. Self-hosting is the best option here.

VCFundedGenYer··on SaaS Is Dead
> I won't be hosting my own notes solution.

Why not? Notes are incredibly private data. One of the top priority items to NOT host in a cloud.

Trilium is incredible.

Consider it.

Also AGI does not exist and never will.

VCFundedGenYer··on Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
Honestly you get what you deserve if you try to use an ipad as your main computer. There's no faith in Apple ever fixing iPadOS - it's why they are releasing a touch screen Mac (Which is what they should have done in 2010).
VCFundedGenYer··on Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
Fully disagree. iPadOS is too unstable, janky, immature, and prone to awkward half-baked changes to be used as a regular computer. I've tried for years. OP is correct - stay far away from iPadOS for computing. Use macOS.
VCFundedGenYer··on Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
Ehhh, Even the .0 release of Snow Leopard was incredibly polished. I was there. It was still great.

It's not like now where they rush a yearly release and more than half the OS is nonfunctional until the .1 update several months later.

The point is to slow TF down on the OS updates. We never needed yearly releases. Going back to the pre-Lion model of OS upgrades is the way.

VCFundedGenYer··on Facebook Pages require paid subscription to post more than two links per month
This will kill most of Facebook.

So many pages link out to other things, including major news sites.

This will either get reverted or Facebook will die. Mark's choice.

VCFundedGenYer··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
no time is actually saved with LLMs. You spend more time testing or stepping on rakes finding out what it screwed up.

This is why LLM coding fails.

VCFundedGenYer··on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer
Why in the world was your Plex exposed to the open internet?
VCFundedGenYer··on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer
Plex has been enshittified since at least 2021. Most moved to Jellyfin.
VCFundedGenYer··on Cairn: Open windows into AI-driven cyber operations
Shame on SharkNinja in particular - they have no MFA for accounts.
VCFundedGenYer··on Android apps running native on macOS
You're absolutely right!
