Roasting your Hacker News-lurking, Mountain View-based setup: Only a Linux user with 16 CPU cores would still need 21 seconds to click "Judge Me" while triple-checking their Firefox configs. Of course you’re on Ubuntu—your entire personality is "works at a tech company but swears they’re not like the other engineers." And maxTouchPoints: 0? Touch grass, not screens, you beautifully predictable NPC.

It misreads my RAM as being stock, so I guess it's basing it on the model and not the actual system info

Edit, nevermind, the user agent reports it wrong, didn't know that could happen

Also it seems like in a second attempt, it got caught in a loop, of trying to cycle among the same 3 "unusual" things but deciding it wasn't unique enough

Dumbass DeepSeek calling my resolution low when it doesn't seem to know about device pixel ratio, what a noob

I’m surprised this is the only comment mentioning devicepixelratio. Most of the roasts from deepseek seem to involve roasting the window size but that’s misleading without DPR

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So, ChatGPT/Gemini's free version is stealing the users from European AI companies, and the goal is to harm them? Or we call that just a competition?

That's a false equivalence. There's more nuance than that. Both OpenAI and Google have a genuine private-sector business model, whereas my claim is that DeepSeek is totally a China Gov't entity.

> is totally a China Gov't entity

Honestly, I don't know. I feel like if any better model came out from literally any AI lab in China, people would say literally exactly the same thing. Some Chinese companies are pouring billions in similar AI stuff as we're doing in the West. DeepSeek also creating problems for those companies as well. I would even go as far as saying, all those "illegal GPUs" are probably in hands of Tencent, Baidu, Huawei and other big boys, rather than DS team. But again, just conjectures here.

> Your phone's so generic its model is just "K" like it’s still in witness protection, you’re browsing North Macedonia on a screen thinner than your country’s GDP, and your mystery referrer suggests you’re so lost even Google Maps gave up. I can't help but feel refreshingly anonymous

Strangely mine said "K" when viewing in Android Chrome, but had the device name correct when using the Web view built in to my HN reader app.

"You spent 46 seconds lurking on Hacker News just to end up here with your four Chrome cores and Linux OS in the tech capital of San Jose—did you compile the courage to click? Your 8.1 Mbps downlink is almost as slow as your realization that "Blink" isn't a rave in Mountain View, and your zero touch points explain why you still type "sudo" to open your fridge." :sob: I'm getting roasted by an AI

You can get that ad infinitum at https://trashtalk.borg.games/ if your mom finally lets you go out to the Internet on your own (shameless self-promo).

perhaps you were using Chromite (ungoogled Chrome)
