- Comment on What does it mean to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ all cookies, and which should I choose? 3 days ago:
I was using the cookie lists but I stopped using them due to the aforementioned problems.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 3 days ago:
Poorly. WSL is awesome but it’s I/O performance is not at a level which will make developers on bigger projects happy.

Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.
- Comment on What does it mean to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ all cookies, and which should I choose? 3 days ago:
You’re not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can’t scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.

github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic This can do it for you on most sites in most browsers.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 4 days ago:
This isn’t public data unfortunately, devs with a game on both platforms are the only ones who can tell us where they earn more. However, I did once read an article that claimed the effective cut from Steam is about half what it says on the tin IF the devs (or their publisher) put in enough effort themselves. Because that’s who decides this, Steam doesn’t have and doesn’t want any control over this.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 4 days ago:
Except that’s also a lie. Steam does keep a higher percentage of the sales price for itself than Epic does, but it also allows people to activate game keys without taking any money. Steam only makes money from games sold on Steam itself. So developers can sell games through other stores and even through their own website, and keep up to 100% of the sales price. Effectively, this means that Steam takes roughly the same amount of money that Epic does, or in some cases even less probably.
- Comment on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Delivers Best Performance On Linux Over Windows 11 - Even With Gaming 6 days ago:
It’s not released yet. And yeah, it’s standard ITX, Framework adheres to standards as much as possible.
- Comment on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Delivers Best Performance On Linux Over Windows 11 - Even With Gaming 6 days ago:
Framework Desktop contains an ITX board with a Strix Halo. It’s not cheap though, unless you compare it to an equivalent Mac Mini.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 1 week ago:
Twist and tuck inside the breadbox obviously.
- Comment on Cookie Clicker coming to Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S 1 week ago:
Also how are you going to mod it on those platforms.

Sounds like storm mitigation to me! 😄
- Comment on Fishing games? 3 weeks ago:
It is if you really want to git gud.
But what it also is is the nicest open sea sailing simulator, with awesome ambience and a fantastic world to just sail around in and do some relaxing things like fishing and just exploring all the islands. Especially in Safer Seas mode.
- Comment on Fishing games? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, yes, that’s what I meant with single player (or really single ship, since you can play with your friends) mode, couldn’t remember the name
- Comment on Fishing games? 3 weeks ago:
Sea of Thieves is amazing and has some decent fishing. Might want to stay in the single player world if you just want cozy, although a sense of (PvP) danger can definitely liven things up too.
- Comment on Forever Skies 1.0 out now 5 weeks ago:
Haven’t heard of it before, but it does look interesting
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 5 weeks ago:
Ah, that sounds better. My tumor was found when I was 30 and initially caused me lots of IBD problems, and then proceeded to blood in my stool. Butt probe then confirmed it even though my doctor was expecting something else because I was so young. A test like that might not have helped much in my case but I wasn’t the most average case anyway.
- Comment on AI slop farms are churning out fake heartwarming videos about Trump figures. 5 weeks ago:
Well the trade war isn’t going great for them…
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 5 weeks ago:
Is that a blood test? Those aren’t always effective. I kept testing negative even when I had a massive tumor in my bowels. The only thing that really works is going in there and taking a look, i.e. a colonoscopy.
- Comment on How to use GPUs over multiple computers for local AI? 1 month ago:
A 10 Gbps network is MUCH slower than even the smallest oldest PCIe slot you have. So cramming the GPUs in any old slot that’ll fit is a much better option than distributing it over multiple PCs.
- Comment on Without GPS: EU researchers develop satellite-independent navigation system 1 month ago:
Regarding the second point, militaries have a long history of using civilian products (see GPS in the gulf war for example) if they don’t have enough of the expensive stuff, which will lead to incentive to jam the civilian stuff as well. The article suggests that this system should be more resilient against simple jamming though.

4 looks like a wild ride
- Comment on One-handed games? 1 month ago:
If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.eu It’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.
- Comment on Day 232 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
Dunno when you played it but they’ve added tons of shit in the past years, so it might be worth it to give it another chance.
- Comment on Is this massive difference to be expected? 2 months ago:
The difference might be HTTP vs HTTPS. On a Pi the extra CPU load to properly encrypt the HTTPS stream is probably significant.

You realize that the plane pictured, an SR-71, possibly the coolest plane ever made, has been phased out many years ago? Another sign the USA isn’t what it used to be! /s
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 3 months ago:
4 is the best “old” civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 3 months ago:
Good to hear how it compares, I was curious about that but reviewers aren’t talking about it.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 3 months ago:
They stole that and some other mechanics from Humankind, a game by the same studio as Endless Legend. It wasn’t received that well in Humankind either, so I’m kinda surprised that they stole it anyway, but I guess line must go up and they didn’t have a lot of inspiration themselves?
- Comment on WhatsApp is adding the ability to save contacts within the app independently from your smartphone’s address book. 6 months ago:
If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I’m all for it.
