  I could swear I saw some company doing this in a tech publication like 5-10 years ago

  Ehh. I’m not seeing evidence that was in any way pointed at people. In the aftermath of the Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s strategic bombers it became quite apparent that leaving your air force out unprotected in your own country is a shortcut to losing a lot of it at once. The US Air Force has the same problem the Russian VKS had: lots of expensive planes out in the open scattered over a massive country that anyone can get drones or explosives into.

  I did as well which is a polite way of saying I blew all my RAM savings on the how overpriced GPUs were at the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I also mentioned archivable. Public forums can be archived. If I hit one of those issues I look for archived pages. Deleted discord comments are just silently gone and deleted servers are lost forever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because not everything is a bug. People frequently want help and having a searchable place for past discussions it is helpful. Also this was in response to people complaining about forums and implying what came after is better so misuse is very much relevant here. Every modding community and a lot of other dev groups use discord for everything and it is from experience a trainwreck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most decent forums were publicly readable online and thus got indexed by actually decent search engines unlike discord. Hence “search indexable”

  I’m not sure why people think that discord search is some kind of gotcha. Its shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally the 5th thing in the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord is just objectively terrible for knowledge. It’s not search indexable or archivable. It’s more or less a memory hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Control 2 should hopefully be fine as the CEO is new and it is scheduled for the first half of the year (They told investors 2026H2 and no one would lie to investors /s). Not so sure about anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wonder if their CEO finally stopped responding to hacker news threads or if he’s still in there getting dunked on.

  Jitsi is owned by a Campbell, California based firm called 8x8. Source: I worked for them during the acquisition.

  Though admittedly avoiding US origin open source is unlikely to be possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One compressed to the point where I couldn’t see hand sized objects. The great glories of social media cost savings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the videos are to grainy for me to tell what happened to his gun. What is clear is he had a phone in one hand and the other was empty when he was first attacked. That and that they proceeded to shoot him six times when he was aready slumped unmoving bleeding out on the ground.

  Though given the New York Times is saying he was shot after the gun was taken without any particular weasle words I’m inclined to think they shot him without provocation.

  Kristy Noem could descalate things a lot if she stopped trasparently lying.

  The four types of groceries: common groceries, rare groceries, epic groceries, legendary groceries.

  Because the HDMI forum is ass?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the problem. Open source software doesn’t work with the NDA. Nvidia does it with an embedded processor and closed firmware, Intel does it with an embedded Displayport to HDMI converter, AMD does it in the driver. Steam uses AMD chips and open source drivers so they can’t get it to work.

  Fabs take like 5 years to spin up. No one is going to set up another without some kind of guarantee

  I spent $160 on 64gb its now $625

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games anticheat supports Linux. VAC, EAC, GameGuard, and BattlEye either run under Linux by default or can be configured to do so, by the game dev, with a toggle. A number: Destiny 2, Fortnight, etc. break it intentionally even though the client could run without modification. Battlefield 6 breaks because it checks the Windows measured boot API.

  We regulated the safety of the driver with little regard for pedestrians. The solution is regulating what your car does to others in a crash

  What is your favorite brand of air fryer? It has come to my attention that air fryer’s brought to school may be liable for confiscation. Regardless, how are you doing on this fine October morning?

  I have an entire note taking program calibrated around the ink colors of 5. I kinda dug myself that grave though. They are at least decent pens.

  Nintendo got one guy’s paychecks garnished for the rest of his life. So even if you have no money there is a lot to lose.
