simianparrot··on Discord Alternatives, Ranked
That's a feature
simianparrot··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Nitro cancelled, all boosts for my servers cancelled, have recommended my communities all do the same. It'll be a lot less smooth but we can go back to IRC + Mumble.

Enshittification and profit-maxing strikes down yet another decent piece of software. Rest in piss.

simianparrot··on TSMC to make advanced AI semiconductors in Japan
Only if you ignore supply chains, manufacturing, procurement of raw materials, grid balancing, and so much more.

If you think net zero’s failures are a right wing talking point it might be you failing the Rorschach test
simianparrot··on Bye Bye Humanity: The Potential AMOC Collapse
Yeah but they didn’t have social media algorithms turning their brains into slush
simianparrot··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
I'm not right-wing. I'm also not left wing. I don't care what said politicians did. I'm talking about how no EU member country's populace gets a vote in who rules over them from Brussels.
simianparrot··on My AI Adoption Journey
> If an agent isn't running, I ask myself "is there something an agent could be doing for me right now?"

Solution-looking-for-a-problem mentality is a curse.

simianparrot··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Ok so where's the European alternatives? Where are they? Because in my experience as a Norwegian citizen who has started and run tech companies, we simply can't compete on this kind of tech because energy is more expensive, all the added costs of employment are so incredibly expensive (despite massive amounts of immigration, which only drains our welfare state anyway) and all the EU-based rules and regulations we must follow even when we're not direct members; all of these things and more related to them are absolutely stifling.

In this environment there is zero chance of an "AWS-like" competitor or anything remotely like it in the tech sector. And if you say "Hezner" I've got a bridge to sell you.

simianparrot··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
It’s tongue-in-cheek given how AI-bros seem to think human intelligence is no different from the function of an LLM.

At least I’m not hiding behind throwaway accounts.

simianparrot··on Moltbook is the most interesting place on the internet right now
That tells me everything I need to know about this guy.

simianparrot··on Code is cheap. Show me the talk
And it’s making that up as well.
simianparrot··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
Seems like Amazon is doing the right thing cutting down its corporate workforce then.
simianparrot··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
People that broke the law entering the country whom have no right to be there yes, with reduced rights as they are non-citizens. This is internationally universal. What is your point?
simianparrot··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Criminals have less rights than non-criminals. Especially illegal aliens. Let’s not pretend countries don’t have reasons to protect their borders.
simianparrot··on Show HN: AutoShorts – Local, GPU-accelerated AI video pipeline for creators
Automating editing is by definition making it slop.
simianparrot··on What it's like to be banned from the US for fighting online hate
Nobody wants absolute free speech. The US government isn’t advocating for that either. They’re defending free speech as defined in their constitution.
simianparrot··on The Agentic AI Handbook: Production-Ready Patterns
But it’s also true in this case. I’ve had my own comments claimed to be AI by someone because I used a phrase like “delve into”, but a few false positives from the over-eager are to be expected even if it’s not optimal.
simianparrot··on The Agentic AI Handbook: Production-Ready Patterns
No. Public shaming for sharing AI written slop is what we need more of.
simianparrot··on What it's like to be banned from the US for fighting online hate
These people (HateAid) deplatform and cancel others for their speech, via lawsuits, pressure, and other means. That's not speech.
simianparrot··on 2025 was the third hottest year on record
Sure, but local is a radius. There's my local, then there's my region's local, then there's my country's local. As wonderful as globalism sounds on paper, if saving the global average leads to a drought or a flood for another country, or another region, then you are trying to convince others of giving up a lot for no tangible relevant gain.
simianparrot··on 2025 was the third hottest year on record
That will lead to world war.
simianparrot··on 2025 was the third hottest year on record
Local weather is what matters to individuals. So is access to affordable energy.

You cannot coerce someone to ignore their local weather and sabotage access to affordable energy because of some global average. It’s a losing battle that’s fundamentally misled.

simianparrot··on The Palantir app helping ICE raids in Minneapolis
It’s insane. I watch the actual source videos from as many angles as I can find, and I’ve not once seen this false narrative of unreasonable retribution by LEO’s. Not once when I find the full context.
simianparrot··on The U.S. Government Just Followed Through on Its Ban of DJI Drones
First of all it's easy to sit and armchair a situation like that and in hindsight to boot. We weren't there. We shouldn't assume what the federal officer was feeling. Second, same officer _had_ been injured and had his foot in stitches from another "protestor" who had driven into him not long ago.

Driving into someone is what's considered lethal force in law enforcement. The woman got shot after consistently ignoring police commands and then enacted lethal force on a federal officer. There's no ambiguity here.

simianparrot··on BYD's cheapest electric cars to have Lidar self-driving tech
That's such a dishonest argument.

Legal immigration is not the same as illegal immigration. Stop being disingenuous.
simianparrot··on The UK is shaping a future of precrime and dissent management (2025)
People don't like to admit it, but JD Vance was right about Europe. And the UK is up there with the worst of us. I am European.
simianparrot··on The U.S. Government Just Followed Through on Its Ban of DJI Drones
It's not extra judicial when they're literally criminals in captivity or fleeing from it.
simianparrot··on The U.S. Government Just Followed Through on Its Ban of DJI Drones
Entering a country illegally is a crime. We have borders. You are letting yourself be emotionally manipulated into suicidal empathy.
simianparrot··on The U.S. Government Just Followed Through on Its Ban of DJI Drones
I wouldn't want illegal aliens in my country. They're criminals. Norway doesn't allow it, we control our borders. We could do a better job, but at least we don't have a backlog the size of the US'
