- Comment on A Portal dating sim? Yep. Aperture Dating Simulator is set to release on August 28 1 hour ago:
Aperture Science… We do what we must. Because we can.
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 3 days ago:
We in Europe tend to not be afraid of words and censoring them feels pretty pointless. It’s just a word, it’s the context that gives it meaning, which in this case was educational. If you go calling people slurs then obviously the context changes, but on its own it’s just a word.
- Comment on Steam had already shown its true face, GOG and itch.io are fighting censorship alone. 3 days ago:
I mean, three people calling Mastercard will do nothing as well.
- Comment on Robocop: Rouge City 5 days ago:
So, as a born and raised Czech I shouldn’t play it?
- Comment on Hideo Kojima has "learned so many ways to kill people" 5 days ago:
I vote we let him have his wet dreams of being a human murdering machine.
- Comment on Lemmy has a problem 1 week ago:
We call it statistics around these parts. But yeah, it’s guesswork.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Nobody is above law. If UK courts are not entirely corrupted, they’ll rule according to the law. This happens all the time with law enforcement enforcing more than the law says.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
That’s guidance, not law.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Yeah, that would be a first time enforcement didn’t really bother to read the law they should be enforcing.
So they might add it later when stuff like this becomes more common, but right now it’s not illegal, according to the law and disregarding everything else that doesn’t really have any legal hold and is really just a guideline.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Well, nope.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
I don’t believe guidelines are above the actual law.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Source? Cause mine (www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50 aka the fucking law) doesn’t say anything like that.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Dude trust me. It’s not there anywhere.
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Many have tried that, IMO getting the word out about VPNs even to non-technical users is important because most people still don’t know what that is. If they ever try to ban VPNs, even non-technical people will know how to use them and how to avoid the bans.

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 week ago:
I really, really hope an alternative to MasterCard and Visa appears, at least here in EU.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 2 weeks ago:
No, the faster the speed of sound, the less delay there is.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 2 weeks ago:
Basically, when you push something, you push molecules, those in turn push the other molecules etc., that’s what it is.
The delay is there every time, it’s just usually really fast, the speed of sound in solid mediums is much bigger than the speed of sound in air.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 2 weeks ago:
You already got some answers, but I thought of something you might find interesting: if you had a multiple kilometers long pole in a vacuum and pushed on it, the push itself would propagate at the speed of sound!
Meaning the other end wouldn’t really move immediately, but it would instead take multiple seconds or even minutes if the pole is large enough. If it’s made of oak and is 9 km long, it would take around 3 seconds (the speed of sound in oak is around 3 km/s IIRC).
- Comment on Japan using generative AI less than other countries 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, their work-the-workers-literally-to-death culture is top notch.
- Comment on Former Wagner fighter seeks asylum in Finland after fleeing Russia 3 weeks ago:
Are you talking about a mercenary group in general or this particular mercenary group which is kinda famous for raping?
Why the ad hominem? What’s sensible is an opinion, not an objective truth.
I’m not saying to kill him but to send him back. Sure, the end result might be the same, but that piece of shit doesn’t deserve anything from us.
- Comment on Former Wagner fighter seeks asylum in Finland after fleeing Russia 3 weeks ago:
Or maybe not, because that’s exactly why they murder us but we keep them in nice prisons instead.
- Comment on Is there anything like a self-hosted version of medium of substack ? 3 weeks ago:
Well, that’s just a blog. WordPress comes to mind, though try not abusing it by installing too many plugins and transforming it to an abomination that takes 3 seconds to hack.
There are probably more modern alternatives, I personally wrote my own blog system that uses ActivityPub to synchronise with Lemmy and others.
- Comment on Former Wagner fighter seeks asylum in Finland after fleeing Russia 3 weeks ago:
Murdering and raping is over, time to seek some protection. They should put him back to Russia with a big sign saying “Hey, Putin, this guy tried to flee Russia! Wouldn’t it be a shame if he fell out the window?”
- Comment on Russia and Belarus plan to create AI model based on “traditional values” 3 weeks ago:
Ah, the traditional Russian values of hiding the truth from your superiors because there’s a culture of shooting the messenger of the bad news. Can’t see this going wrong when training an AI.
- Comment on Vernon Dursley, uncle of Harry Potter is just a normal bloke that loves his wife and gets roped into a paramilitary war for it. 3 weeks ago:
That skips a lot of the abuse they put Harry through.
- Comment on Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s true, everyone thinks they want a senior where usually someone who’s not a straight up junior is more than enough. And a fast learning and motivated junior is the best you can get, IMO, though those are pretty rare as well.
- Comment on Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent 3 weeks ago:
I have the opposite experience, when I was doing interviews I just skipped the very obviously underskilled people (which, IIRC were in the single digits) and interviewed pretty much everyone.
For context, I’m the main architect and dev of the company I was hiring for. Most of the candidates were horrible.
- Comment on Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent 3 weeks ago:
The main factor, IMO, is that everyone wants good engineers but good engineers don’t change jobs that often.
Meaning most of the candidates you interview will suck in one way or another.
And everyone calls themselves “senior” nowadays.
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 3 weeks ago:
Syncthing for files syncing, to replace stuff like OneDrive, Dropbox etc.
I use to sync files between my NAS, laptop, Steam Deck and phone, each with different dirs based on what I need synced there.
