- Comment on Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn 1 day ago:
I’m not advocating for this, but I could see it effectively ending phone scams that often prey on the elderly.
- Comment on Zelda 64: Recompiled for PC - Majora's Mask Release Trailer 1 week ago:
That’s where I left that thing!
- Comment on 24 years later, Warren Spector offers more details about Deus Ex's cut 'Denver airport conspiracy' mission that was 'so crazy no one would believe it' 1 week ago:
Any time I’ve been there it hasn’t felt any different than other airports. What about it is spooky?
- Comment on Sink your teeth into capitalism after a 500-year slumber in Brocula out now 1 week ago:
It’s interesting, but I find the sound effects grating.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 2 weeks ago:
I got an N100 with the same specs for $160. It’s so good.
- Comment on This farming sim sits at the bottom of your screen while you kid yourself you're doing other things 2 weeks ago:
The idea of this bothers me. It makes me think of the dual videos on Tiktok that people watch because their attention spans have been so blown out by overstimulation that regular videos bore them.
And that’s probably hypocritical of me because I often play a game on one monitor and a video on the other.
I dunno.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode Beta Trailer 4 weeks ago:
It’s very different. I’ve only just created a party and watched some tutorials, but I have a general idea of what it’s going for, and it’s nearly the polar opposite of fortress mode.
- Comment on Quadriplegic Quebec man chooses assisted dying after 4-day ER stay leaves horrific bedsore 4 weeks ago:
Conservatives hate bodily autonomy.

what is wrong with the people left on lemmy
You’re the one causing problems here. The others are conversing normally. Lemmy is fine, chill.

Theranos: Genetic Boogaloo.
- Comment on This Woman Will Decide Which Babies Are Born 5 weeks ago:
I’m by no means pro-forced birth. But birth rate decline is a serious issue.
Yeah, it matters to capitalists who need an inexhaustible supply of exploitable workers.
For regular folk, it’s not a problem.
- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 1 month ago:
It for sure could, they’re talking completely out of their ass.
- Comment on What are the best indie games you've ever played? 1 month ago:
If DF never existed, we would’ve missed out on so many amazing games it directly and indirectly inspired.
- Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving 2 months ago:
The world must be very simple for you.
Funny. You didn’t read past the first sentence of my comment.
- Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving 2 months ago:
Would an army hell-bent on committing genocide roof-knock, drop leaflets, send warnings by telephone, messenger, social media and hacked TV stations?
This is all IDF propaganda. Even if they are doing all of these things consistently and precisely, what evidence is there that these efforts have any effect I’m reducing civilian casualties?
We’d need an honest and open accounting of casualties to check that. And the IDF will not do that.
- Comment on Palworld's community manager reminds people impatient for updates that playing other games is fine 2 months ago:
Those is the main reason I try to avoid EA games, even if they’re good.
The flip side is, a really good game that gets consistent improvements and content can be fun to keep up with and come back to from time to time.
- Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job 2 months ago:
This is a textbook example of cherry picking.
- Comment on Why Software Engineers like Woodworking 2 months ago:
I get some of the same feelings working on home automation and creating my own IOT devices.
- Comment on Google workers complain bosses are 'inept' and 'glassy-eyed' 3 months ago:
Android started as trash
It started off by beating the pants off of iOS in terms of features, but was not nearly as polished.
Definitely not trash. But also not polished for the masses.
- Comment on Apple's 2014 Game of the Year puzzler Threes! now on Steam with Steam Deck support 3 months ago:
Threes is a legitimately hard puzzle game that got copied by 2048 and had its thunder stolen. 2048 got popular because it was much easier.
So if you like 2048, and you thought it was too easy, give this a shot.
- Comment on The revenge of the video game manual 3 months ago:
The game is so unique, and its puzzles so novel, I don’t it could be replicated successfully.
- Comment on Gen Z is choosing not to drive 3 months ago:
I’ve heard this called “the death of the third place”. The first place is home, the second place is work, the third place is everything else. It used to be that people could hang out at bars, malls, bowling alleys, etc. for not astronomical prices. It’s good too expensive to be out.
- Comment on Coinbase tells judge that buying crypto is just like collecting Beanie Babies 3 months ago:
They’d give you an answer that’s incoherent to they’re supposed beliefs. The answer would be the one that reinforced their current position. Because that’s what they truly believe in. They want more wealth and power for themselves.
- Comment on What are your favorite third party controllers? 3 months ago:
I loved this thing as a kid oldschoolgamermagazine.com/crazy-controllers-the-…
Instead of three grips like a normal n64 controller, it had two. It combined the left and middle grips into one. So the d pad, analog stick, L, and Z buttons were all on one grip. I don’t know how the economics would hold up today, but they were great for me back then.
It also had turbo buttons, which is always nice.

Holy shit that’s good, as is the earlier article about hiring like a sports team.
- Comment on First Nas Build 4 months ago:
To your point, I clicked on this post hoping to see what OP was going to use and why because I would like to build my own NAS some day. But like you said, this post is a waste of everyone’s time.
- Comment on Research: The Growing Inequality of Who Gets to Work from Home 4 months ago:
In my experience as a programmer, entry roles don’t do well as remote. At the start of their career, it’s important to learn enough to become independent enough to work from home.

It would help if you defined those values.
- Comment on pretty basic but I made myself a less mess espresso basket prep ring thing. 4 months ago:
In general, yes. But the contact here is minimal. I wouldn’t be worried.

Hahahahahahaha!
I’m being serious when I say this: you don’t understand what you’re talking about. I know that’s dismissive, and I’m sorry.
