  That sank into a crater. So we built a third one. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into a crater. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest spacecraft on all of the Moon.

  I don’t want to be that guy, but that sounds neither healthy nor very economical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important News - Geoblocking of the UK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  or we would have to disable NSFW entirely, which means communities that use NSFW tags for spoilers or content warnings also wouldn’t be accessible.

  On this note, why is it that so few sites seem to have implemented spoilers tags and instead relies on everyone using the nsfw tag instead?

  I assume so, but I’m not sure where. I’ll have to Google it later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PayPal implements default data sharing with third parties: users must manually opt out⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also based in the EU, and mine were turned on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell warns of data breach, 49 million customers allegedly affected⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. But I guess it was already banned on government phones right? (not from the US, so I’m not all that up to date…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell warns of data breach, 49 million customers allegedly affected⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The section Methods on the Cambridge Analytica wiki page explains it pretty well. While it’s not proven to be able to directly influence voting, it’s effective at swaying people’s opinions and emotions about subjects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell warns of data breach, 49 million customers allegedly affected⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing with tik tok isn’t only with the data China can gather from US residents. It’s also how they can use that information to influence the populace and send them propaganda, for example influencing the election results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. I have filtered both grad and hexbear out of my feed though, I don’t need their shit there. And don’t forget that many instances already are defederated with them, so there’s also fewer of them through that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was planning to, but ultimately didn’t. I have handed out personal blocks to obvious trolls and a brunch of hexbear users that spammed gifs in every single thread though.

  Since Sony is publishing this everything you buy for PS is supporting that behaviour.

  For those wondering, ReVanced launcher short after that and is even better than Vanced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but it doesn’t mean we ignore guns.

  Uuuh, you sure about that? It seems like that shit keeps happening and nothing at all is being done about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tech Baron Seeking to “Ethnically Cleanse” San Francisco⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, don’t mix orcas in with sharks! They don’t attack people. (their boats, close to the mediterranean, have not been as lucly lately though…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roguelite atrategy⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent 80 hours with it in the beginning of the year and it’s really a blast!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I finished Dave the Diver this weekend, great little game!

  Now I’ve jumped board the No Man’s Sky train again, for the first time in six (!) years. And so far it’s been really fun and chill!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balatro Hits One Million Copies Sold In Less Than A Month, Mobile Port Incoming⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Kinda. Sometimes if you press slightly in the wrong place you get the cursor instead, which can easily lead to misclicks. But it’s definitely playable! A mobile port would be really dope though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attacking the big problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. For example, Strongman gives a 2 page loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Disney and Warner Bros. Are Causing Internet Piracy to Boom | Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ were supposed to do away with pirated media. Instead, they may make them stronger than ever.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have pirated a few games due to cost, since my SO is studying at the moment, and one of us has basically always been on parental leave the last 3.5 years. I bought both Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3 when I could afford it though, since both of them brought me more than 100 hours of fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve spent close to 20 hours in Jedi: Survivor. It runs surprisingly well on medium with my 1060 6GB, getting 30-40 fps except when in the desert. The game itself is really fun, an improvement on basically every aspect of the first one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah jeeez, I’ve totally missed that… Might have to dive in again after I’m done with Jedi: Survivor then… I think Update 5 was the last time I played now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there any word of Update 8 to stable yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should look into Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. I think the biggest fear is that they have so many users that they will just flood all instances with their stuff. This can, in time, lead to a situation where they can defederate from everything else and bring a lot of people with them, since most of the content will have come from Threads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But that won’t necessarily change with this ruling right? Your government doesn’t need to change how their apps function because of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see myself getting burned out in a few weeks as well. But so far the combat is really fun, and the stories are interesting enough to keep me playing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve actually started playing Genshin Impact, and it surprised me how fun it is! And it’s nice to be able to play on the phone when travelling/sitting in the sofa, and then hop on the PC when the kids and wife has gone to bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout TV Show - Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wheel of Time is not bad imo. At least not season 2. The thing with that series is that it’s not possible to adapt every single thing from 14 books to 8 seasons with 8 episodes. I went into it as a new turn of the Wheel, and while the first season didn’t do much for me, with the second one I can actually see the beginnings of something that can become really good. I’m cautiously optimistic about the coming seasons now.

  Oooh, didn’t even notice that… Nice catch!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA working on player-voiced characters in games, patent shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’d be really cool, and they could always make it so that the data never leaves your computer looks at the title and realising it’s EA we’re talking about Oh wait…

  Aaah, nice catch! I also thought of diesel first, but came to the same conclusion as you.
