The best game based on a movie is Alien 3 for MegaDrive.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Probably. But maybe it is my habit of unshitifying every OS I install. I always decline telemetry, ads and suspecious features since Win10 rolled out. Same on my android phones. Use adblock since I cannot stand seeing ad banners without freaking out.
My point is: Microsoft and Google always offer opting-out. Users are responsible for accepting or declining services like telemetry. If you still cry about this crap: FIX YOUR CONFIG.

I cannot relate to most of your points. I’ve never seen the ads you describe. UI made a huge leap forward after they neglected it for decades, so it almost caught up to the usual Linux DEs (as they were some years ago). System performance is not worse than on my several Linux systems.
I just don’t see the point in switching to Linux now, if you haven’t already done years ago.

Yes, but users with basic knowledge don’t even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google looks like a perfect “simple” explanation for a general digital lockdown.

They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.

- Comment on Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes 4 weeks ago:
My automated emergency breaking is worse than if it was disabled. It only works on false-positives. I had a minor collision and the system reached after the crash. Another time I could break early on, but the breaks didn’t disengage until restarting the ignition.

- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
Soundcloud + Bandcamp and a 3rd party client like Newpipe is the only valid option for me.
Downloading music and playing it offline is better than streaming low quality audio on a subscription.

Great idea! If you cannot do any productive at work, play D&D with your colleagues! 👍
- Comment on The humble Anet A8 isn't actually that bad if you just take some insipiration from the Ship of Theseus 1 month ago:
The A8 is quite decent after getting rid of all the original parts and rebuilding it from scratch. I see.
Good job! 👍 You learned a lot from the original design and from your improvements. That’s what the hobby of 3d printing is all about, if you ask me. I went through similar efforts with my Ender 2.
- Comment on YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% 1 month ago:
Only up to 50%? I would much appreciate 100%. That would make users rethink their subscription.

Sorry, but I didn’t feel like opening the link on my phone. 😅🤦
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 1 month ago:
Sponsor Block Addon does it fine.
However I have bigger complains for my Firefox cannot handle most videos anymore. Affected are those with much ads. It starts with a still image and if I don’t quit the video within 10 seconds, my desktop environment crashes, bouncing me back to the login screen. 💩

Does that mean, all of us are wearing a bomb with Lithium battery, most of the time? On the other hand: does such battery really be this hazardous? I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.

My old Car is capable of this fully self driving, too. Just put a brick on the accelerator, release the clutch and run!
- Comment on Mushroom learns to crawl after being given robot body 2 months ago:
I would more think of the fungus from The Last Of Us. This fungus really exists (maybe not to this scale pictured) and it controls ants after infecting them. It directly controls their muscles, while growing a fruit body out of the ant’s head.
The fungus senses light and humidity. Therefor it climbs plants up and down. The ant is just a vehicle, like a robot body.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
It’s my personal experience. I would have to share my affected projects for a source, but I didn’t release them yet.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
.Net sucks, compared to mono. The compiler is slower, filesize after optimization is still higher and the character set in cli is far more limited when I compile an app with .Net.
