- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 3 days ago:
But Roosevelt, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, and other top aides cared more about conciliating the powerful, conservative cohort of southern Democrats they considered vital to New Deal legislative majorities.
Wallace therefore fired Agriculture Department radicals in 1935, making clear that the New Deal would do little to threaten the power of planters and agribusiness interests.
… Meanwhile, the STFU collapsed; its defeat would prove a harbinger of the massive, decades-long transformation in American agriculture, a mid-twentieth-century development that pushed millions of small farmers off the land and into cities.
Well yeah the land did not go away it was all gobbeled up by the big players. One could argue it was an industry, even if it was in it’s infancy 15 years after the dust bowl. By todays standard, where just one man owns 12% of US farmland it may seem like peanuts but these southern plantations were/are impressively huge.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 1 week ago:
As long as it is cheaper to buy water, then evaporate it, big firms will continue to do so.
With a COP of around 15 and up it is difficult to argue with the economy of this.
Local regulation would be required, but that would need politicians who don’t suck.
- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 1 week ago:
Uh yeah, was referring to a possible translation problem, or maybe not. Either way I chuckled and hopefully you did, too.
- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 1 week ago:
Well, maybe it got lost in translation, but maybe not… either way I chuckled.
- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 1 week ago:
Red Candle Games said that “in the aftermath of the incident, some still possess different speculations about Devotion. As regretful as the incident was, we have to bear its full consequence.
I don’t know if this was an honest mistake, but… 😂
- Comment on A 19-year old cis lesbian woman was beaten unconscious and robbed after she tried to use the women's restroom at a McDonald's in Carpentersville, Illinois 2 weeks ago:
That sounds horrifying. Sorry this happened to you. If you have the energy and haven’t done so already, please there are trans friendly law firms in quite a few countries. Hope thing get better for you.
- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 3 weeks ago:
Same here. Once I stopped coloring my hair, people never doubted my age…
- Comment on blursed 4 weeks ago:
Well wait a second, they found out what caused the pharaohs curse? That’s awesome!
Well I guess I’m one of the lucky 10.000 then.
- Comment on Goldman Sachs wants students to stop using ChatGPT in job interviews with the bank 1 month ago:
Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 month ago:
This would be a movie that I want to watch, then turn off the second the kid is alone on the streets. Horror movies getting too realistic.
- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 2 months ago:
I somehow doubt he was a Democrat. There are articles claiming he just split campaign contributions in half.
- Comment on I want to build a Mini ITX PC for my home server, where do I start? 3 months ago:
Wouldn’t something like a T1000 (50w/8GB) be okay? I know I use a much older matrox card (30w?/ w/ even lower TDP) for this purpose. It’s not great, but it transcodes in hardware.
- Comment on Brexit led to 1,500 deaths a year as EU nurses left UK, study finds 3 months ago:
That sucks. I’m sorry for your loss.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 3 months ago:
In typical MS fashion this might be very hard to debug with the hundreds of interacting components./s
In all seriousness they reviewed their internal docs not even the code (likely because it’s extremely complex) and said fixing this would brake existing functionality. I think “some cases” is doing heavy lifting for “we know many cases, but won’t tell the bad guys out there”.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 3 months ago:
“We originally looked at a code change for this issue, but after further review of design documentation, changes to code could break compatibility with functionality used by many applications.”
Year of the Linux (Server|Desktop). Seriously. If you are in IT pls look into this (and hide your RDP server behind some VPN. No not MS RDP Gateway.)
- Comment on Big brands are officially worried about American shoppers 3 months ago:
An interesting statistic is that only 10 percent of consumers account for 50 percent of consumption. I imagine if trump manages not to upset these very important 10 percent, (which looks more unlikely every day, but who knows) a possible recession will not disrupt the whole system.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 3 months ago:
Made me think of the Meme: “Who wants to be a millionaire? - but with Billionaires, so it’s more of a threat.”
If we made empathy classes a must with our current governing systems, I cannot imagine them not beeing corrupted and used against the poor within seconds of becoming obligatory.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 3 months ago:
I used a Fairphone 4 with /e/ and it was good. Not great, but useable. I expect the hardware bugs I ran into (using the camera only worked like 20 times before the phone needed a restart, Bluetooth randomly not working) to be ironed out by now. Currently on an old Samsung and it is more solid, but I also liked the environmentalism with the fairphone. Anyone with a Fairphone 5 and something like a glucose sensor thats in constant use?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
That is a cool list you dug up. I wish our clients would make it easier for all of us to identify these duplicates more easily.
As an aside: Social media polls provide a powerful, real-time tool for gauging public sentiment and refining messaging strategies.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 months ago:
Yea thats how my spouses laptop ended up with fedora and our main/gaming PC ended up with Nobara. For some reason certain distros and certain configurations do not go well with each other.

Feel you. my 8 yr old alt (my only account left) mysteriously has had a total karma of zero.
Since shortly after election strangely enough. Wonder what happened there /s.

Yes! I took my time finishing the game, but am glad I did, too
- Comment on Mid game review: Superliminal (2019) PS5 5 months ago:
Holy shit I’m not the only one! The whole time while playing it I was super creeped out. Afterwards - no more nightmares.
I thought this was just a coincidence.
- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 7 months ago:
this CBS article provides a pretty good overview about the known facts to date. While it looks like a camping trip gone wrong, the whole timing is just weird.
- Comment on Are anyone else's texts getting delayed after the RCS switch? 8 months ago:
Doesn’t even have to be Apple, the wife and I are on different carriers and I saw the same shenanigans happening.
Signal app or Threema or really any other independent messaging app (except whatsapp, strangely) solved the issue.
- Comment on About Nintendo 64 CPU not being made by SGI 9 months ago:
Says here SGI demoed the coprocessor to both Nintendo and Sega. Sega bowed out after their engineers found / perceived problems with the SGI design. I do not remember any behind the scenes article about the realtionship between Nintendo and SGI but having heard a lot of stories, I suspect the read would be entertaining …

Identification of this virus began in 1973, here is an article about it from 1997. - I suppose a lifetime supply of immunosuppressants is far more profitable than the system you are proposing… but I like your system. It just is more elegant.
