PotatoesFall , to Technology in Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw

Least insane techno-optimist

PotatoesFall , to Free and Open Source Software in How open source money fixes a corrupted banking system

I'm not talking about bitcoin I'm talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.

PotatoesFall , to Free and Open Source Software in How open source money fixes a corrupted banking system

They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don't care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I'd say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can't print money, that's basically self-imposed austerity.

if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There's no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.

PotatoesFall , to Technology in Meta is connecting Threads more deeply with the fediverse

Its a microblogging platform like mastodon and no, we don't need it in the fediverse. There's exactly one explanation for why they would want to join.

PotatoesFall , to Technology in Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)

Another user commented that you can run Unbound (the technology used by pihole) on your machine.

Even easier, configure your device to use an ad block DNS resolver. Control D has free ones: https://controld.com/free-dns

PotatoesFall , to RPGMemes in How a Draconic Bloodline is started

the authors barely disguised fetish

PotatoesFall , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party lose EU Parliament seats

Yeah this is sad. Aside from his normal MEP duties, Breyer did incredible journalistic work on the EU plans on centralizing incredible power and creating a digital hellscape in Europe. They are planning to go full CIA on us.

PotatoesFall , to RPGMemes in Four systems and yet the videos are so similiar

Alright, I'll bite. Which parts of the philosophy do you disagree on? :D

PotatoesFall , to RPGMemes in Four systems and yet the videos are so similiar

Ah I see I understand now. Yeah that is a thing, it's a rite of passage for every TTRPG content creator to make a "4e wasn't that bad" video lol

PotatoesFall , to RPGMemes in Four systems and yet the videos are so similiar

I thought OneDnD was basically just small changes based on 5e?

PF2e is better than 4e in my opinion, it has all the good parts but a better action system.

PotatoesFall , to memes in lots of weirdos and the product was suspect

Before? I'm in Germany and it's still the same even though we "legalized"

PotatoesFall , to memes in Neverminding the evidence to the contrary.

meh I've heard mostly vegans make this dumbass argument.

I definitely support vegans but I don't support pseudoscientific bullshit no matter who says it.

PotatoesFall , to memes in One way ticket to midnight

if the communities are different, sure. If its very similar communities, naw

PotatoesFall , to memes in One way ticket to midnight

Can we please stop posting memes in multiple similar communities? Just pick one. I hate having to go back and downvote a meme I originally upvoted :(

PotatoesFall , to Programming in Why is predictive text so hard to disable?

On Android you can just install another keyboard if your current one doesn't have a setting for this.

If I had to guess a business case, I'd say that predictive text as a feature gives you a "legitimate reason" to send your typing data to Google or whoever to train the prediction engine, and they want that data.
