- Comment on Why is homebrewing so middle-class, straight, white, male? 3 months ago:
I hope that one day we can judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their brew.

We’re trying to solve with medicine what we should be solving with therapy.
- Comment on is this copium or hopium or schizophrenia? 8 months ago:
I think he believes what he’s saying. From his perspective AGI will be great, and a lot of people think that AI and quantum computing will have a feedback loop where AI will help us create a better quantum computer which will make a better AI and so on…
Down here in the filth though, we’re going to go through mass unemployment, rapid shifts in markets, loss of privacy due to increasingly sophisticated AI powered surveillance, and complete loss of our freedom of speech.
So, all that stuff probably will happen to people like him. Just not us.
- Comment on Why do some languages use gendered nouns? 8 months ago:
I think this is it. In Russian everything is gendered. A table is male and a plate is female. But the rule is simple. Any noun anding in a constant is a male, vowels are female except for nounds ending in “o” and “eh” (Э), those are “it”. But there doesn’t appear to be meaning behind which item is assigned which gender.

It was very useful, so they turned it off.

The single use case I can think of are isometric games.

Alright you crazy bastards. Go and make this a thing.

Less. They’re rolling back their recent, more open, policy.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Has Been Completed by 1.3 Million Players, Shadowheart is Most Popular Love Interest 11 months ago:
She’s the only human woman, so it makes sense that she’d be the most popular.

Tinnitus?

I know. It’s just rude.

It doesn’t look like it’s labeled as AI written, but who knows.

Yeah I call bullshit on that.
- Comment on 'This is only the beginning': Metal Gear Solid fans lose their minds as David Hayter returns to voice Solid Snake in a new teaser 1 year ago:
I feel like a lot of these problems could be fixed with proper management. Just because Kohima creates interesting worlds in video games, doesn’t mean that you should let him do everything he wants. It seems like Konami themselves creates that environment. But also, maybe they are actually going to try hard to recapture what MGS meant for a lot of people. I personally like the mixture of very serious plot with completely insane elements, like zombies, vampires, ninjas, and a white haired black guy with a monkey addicted to coca cola that sells you guns.

I don’t think it will be the same without Kojima. Did everyone forget how Konami completely gave up on gaming a few years back?
- Comment on It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time 1 year ago:
I think you need to find a happy medium. I’ve accepted that I can’t control ALL the data I generate, so I instead aggressively block ads and any other marketing attempts towards me.

Little column A, little column B
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
An even more depressing number of people believes that the protest didn’t happen.
- Comment on What's the difference between asking someone title or someone's pronouns ? 1 year ago:
I don’t bother with either. If I mislabel, then it’s by accident and not meant as an offense, and if you get mad anyway, then there isn’t much for us to talk about anyways.

Paywall.
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
That’s true. Although, having that limit probably got more of them to participate. So while the impact was short, it was more noticeable.

I bet it’ll last less time then the reddit standoff. But I do wish them all of the luck. Fuck Unity and their bullshit fees.

Can’t believe this was 7 years ago, and he’s gone now.
- Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video) 1 year ago:
Sure, but everything is flawed. So we need to find the best solution that is least flawed. Signal is the best alternative to messaging apps that has the features most people want and most importantly people actually use it. It’s at a good intersection of useful and secure. If the article headline was “Evaluating security of Signal” it would be fine. But it’s basically “SIGNAL IS FLAWED! USE SOMETHING ELSE!”. That’s like when someone switches from Chrome to Firefox, which is objectively a better choice, and then they get told “Don’t use Firefox is BAD” and point them to Brave, and when Brave has a flaw they tell people to migrate again. So you get a minority of people using the bleeding edge apps that no sane person would want to spend the time to set up, and the majority just goes back to whatever is the easiest option, which would be Chrome, or in our example probably WhatsApp. It’s important to address concerns, but also to do it in a manner that is careful to not start a panic where one doesn’t need to exist.
