You sure did provide a convincing counter-argument

I don't know why pro AI people are so upset all the time

It's not like we're insulting your work

I wonder how long it'll take people like you breathlessly chanting "this is the future!" before the slop bots hoover that up into their training data like narcissistic poison

Tell the slop bot it's wrong about something and it just starts berating you "get used to it!" "I'm the future!"

Remember. Over 20% of America still supports this fascism.

Your bewildering obsession with "populism" sure does define your entire worldview
Fortnite's shop is is psychological abuse against children and to compare it to Valve's "gambling" is laughably carrying water
They literally just shipped a massive update for a game they've been developing for several years (Deadlock) and are releasing more content for it this Friday
Richard Stallman was a noted centrist for decades after all
DD-WRT? Absolutely fucking not.

Brainslayer is (and has been) a complete nutjob for decades. To say DD-WRT is an "open source" project is stretching things to breaking point.

To get a device "supported" by DD-WRT you have to send Brainslayer a router. Nobody else can build the project because he intentionally obfuscates and breaks the build process as much as possible to "prevent people from selling DD-WRT" (as you're proposing doing here)

Once he receives it. He simply takes the vendor GPL firmware tarball and glues DD-WRT's UI onto it. There's no improved security for a DD-WRT device. Particularly the Broadcom ones back in the late 2000's/early 2010's when DD-WRT was more popular, Brainslayer never bothered to update from the 2.6.18 kernels the devices came with which left the Wi-Fi performance absolutely lacking.

OpenWRT is a completely different bet. But then you're fighting with GL.iNet who are literally a Taiwanese OEM selling OpenWRT-out-of-the-box devices

UK? Quite possibly. Given their recent admission (finally) around the Russian propaganda for Brexit

You're mixing it up with NT's "personalities" of which OS/2 was the primary target at the time. UNIX was purely for FIPS contracts

"That's why we had "mod chips" for decades"

See when you only take half of something someone said, then run off with it and draw incorrect conclusions. You sound foolish

Re:New PlayStation 5 Console Jailbreak Released on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @02:15AM (#49905080)
Yes. And that's why I said "decades". Unfortunately the person replying did not realize I was speaking in a historical context
Re:New PlayStation 5 Console Jailbreak Released on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @02:15AM (#49905070)
The PS5 has had modchips for decades?

I'm pretty sure my original comment both specifying a timeframe longer than the PS5 has existed and hardware that never was produced for the PS5 would suggest I was talking about other devices

Re:New PlayStation 5 Console Jailbreak Released on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @09:09PM (#49903118)
So why did they drill holes into the Xbox 360's DVD drive when they could've just hacked the hypervisor all along? :)

Pirates don't usually bother hacking consoles. It's easier for them to just bypass the security on the disc drive. That's why we had "mod chips" for decades
Are you seriously suggesting America's influence is increasing?!

>Tesla's product design and market fit was right on the whole

The company he invested in, then sued to be declared "Founder" and now parades as his own, personal invention?

>SpaceX was almost all right and not wrong

Except about the things Elon opines on. Because he doesn't know shit about rocketry

>PayPal was a lot more right than wrong

He was kicked out of Paypal for all his stupid ideas
