  Play video games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be overly pedantic, but it drives me insane that there are many words, where you can’t take the meaning from its parts, because they would mean something completely different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like going outside barefoot but this is just disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always funny how companies who want to adopt some new flashy tech never listen to specialists who understand if something is even worth a single cent, and they always fell on their stupid face.

  Sow what is the normal pee color? Green?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never did any homework unless absolutely necessary.

  Now I understand that I should have done it, because I am not good at learning shit in classrooms where there is bunch of people who distract me and I don’t learn anything that way. Only many years later I found out that for most things it’s best for me to study alone.

  That said, you are most probably right, because I have opened some math-related Wikipedia articles at some point, and they were pretty incomprehensible to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am also from a country that English is not widely spoken, in fact most people are not able to make a simple conversation (they will tell you they know ““basic English”” though).

  I still find it easier to read Wikipedia articles in English, than than understand some relatives, because they never precisely say what the fuck they want from me. One person even say such incomprehensible shit, that I am thinking their brain is barely functional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL: Wikipedia uses complex language.

  It might just be me, but I find articles written on Wikipedia much more easier to read than shit sometimes they write or speak to me. Sometimes it is incomprehensible garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why were you trying to build it? You can find both ““stable”” and nightly releases on ReactOS website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, Windows still has POSIX subsystem or is it only listed for documentation reasons (it was there at least in old NT days)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pokemon MMO’s are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.

  And yet I don’t understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they make big news about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s seems reasonable to me. It’s 6 per one person in 2 weeks. There are times where I think I’d use more, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s hardly a bad thing unless you can’t use the most common way (e.g. paying by credit/debit card) in shops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They will eventually be all taken down. That’s the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.

  They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let’s be honest. You don’t).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is “piped out”. The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you get is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator and it’s copyrighted like any other data on the disc/cartridge. You are not writing the game yourself if you are decompiling it. And it’s logically a derivative work.

  I don’t understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The code itself is also copyrighted. Decompiled code is a derivative work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t say if that project is legal or not, but expect it (and many others) to be taken down by Nintendo soon. Make a local copy if you want to preserve it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see that Fedora uses Btrfs, so it should be able to take file system snapshots, which are sort of an alternative to the immutable thing, isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do children address a non-binary parent?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Closest Ancestor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Search GTA 6 Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons.

  Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it’s silly that it’s only Chrome is being making fun of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never used Limewire, but if they had distributed binaries that you should pay for, it is a copyright infringement, even if you could technically compile it yourself. There are applications that do this and it’s compatible with GPL license.

  I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.
