It’s an absolute joke that fans of SC say ‘when you get a clear server it runs perfect’, because it doesn’t. I’ve been in a brand new, freshly populating, rebooted server. The game runs like ass, the bugs are still everywhere. it’s just a badly made game and the design ethos is “we added more time wasting for realism!” (when they’re pretending not to just be ship salesmen)
Also, haven’t they STILL not decided on the final flight model for the game?

😂 it’s always interesting to click the “why are you showing me this” button to see just how wide a net they’re casting. (Before ruthlessly clicking it to waste the budget on their stupid untargeted ads, then blocking it)
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
Hi! I work with google ads every day, it’s my job, and I have a business running ads for other small businesses.
Guess what, I use an ad blocker!
If all ads were innocent businesses trying to sell things I’m interested in, and they all had their targeting set up correctly, it’d be great. Unfortunately, all my ads are “you are male and under 60” and that’s as sophisticated as the targeting has been set to, so they’re totally irrelevant, terrible ads.
Also, my other issue is that some advertisers have really low standards for what you’re allowed to show. Google at least has some standards and is sometimes overzealous with its automated disapprovals, which hopefully makes its platform a little better.

I have a follow-up question.
Where do recipes come from? Surely everyone’s just stealing each other’s recipes and the most arrogant people are compiling it all into cookbooks and pretending they invented it?
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal approved by UK regulators 1 year ago:
Especially if they released a really successful game and then they released a really bad one that got them sued by their shareholders and they had to issue a public apology but internet sentiment is somehow still positive. Especially if that game had a $142 MILLION marketing budget.

Is gamepass dies the Xbox on pc store will too… Then they’ll come grovelling to steam and the deals come back 😅

I’m confused. You’re angry because you want games on the PlayStation? Nobody forced you to buy it. There are plenty of good games on there, and Sony do the same. I’m not crying that Bloodborne isn’t on PC. (not publicly)

That’s not so bad now gamepass is a thing, usually they’re on pc at launch
- Comment on I accidentally removed the WHERE clause from my SQL query in a personal tool. Every row is now the same. I lost everything, have no backup, and I'm stupid. 1 year ago:
I’m up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I’m actually super proud of it haha.
But you’re totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I’ve probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn’t help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand arrow functions.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I’m fixing and tampering!

Because I’m relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I’m using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?

I did when I made the query a year ago. Dumdum sleep deprived brain thought it would look more organised this way

My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end and postgres. After that it’s just been me, the references and stack overflow.
I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.
(but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)
- Comment on Firefox will have a built-in ‘fake reviews detector’ — Amazon is in trouble 1 year ago:
I’ve had this multiple times.
Tried to leave a big detailed helpful negative review and it gets flagged for being suspicious, with no copy of the review attached so I have to write it all again. And then it gets removed again.
I just looked in my emails. The exact phrasing was “We have reviewed our decisions and concluded that the product you received is authentic. As a result, we removed your review specific to this product. This ensures other customers see reviews that reflect the current shopping experience.”
It happened with a body trimmer, where I never questioned the inauthenticity, and then a zojirushi travel mug that I genuinely believe was a fake, and attached a lot of evidence.

Wow, what a brainy quote from 200 years ago, that sure showed me.
Maistre thought that politics should derive from religion and that in Europe this religious authority must ultimately lie with the Pope. Would you also like the pope to replace the government instead?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
So you’re saying yes, Israel can forcefully remove Palestinians because they were there first?
Therefore Russia can forcefully remove Ukrainians because they were there first?

“at one time in the past”
As did the Russians on the land of Ukraine.
17th and 18th Centuries
Parts of what is now Ukraine were incorporated into the Russian Empire, especially after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century. However, other parts remained under Polish or Ottoman rule. The Russian Empire did exert considerable influence over these territories, often implementing Russification policies.
19th Century
Throughout the 19th century, the concept of a Ukrainian identity persisted, albeit under the umbrella of the Russian Empire for many regions. Some Ukrainians sought greater autonomy or even independence.
Early 20th Century and Soviet Period
After the Russian Revolution, Ukraine briefly declared independence but was soon incorporated into the Soviet Union as one of its constituent republics. While it was part of the USSR, Ukraine had its own Communist Party, constitution, and administrative structures, but Moscow held ultimate authority.
It wasn’t until 1991 that Ukraine was an independent country.
So is Russia allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 30 years ago?
Meanwhile, “Israel” hadn’t existed since around 63 BCE when it fell under Roman control. It wasn’t until after WW1 and especially 1947 that Jewish people of the Zionist movement decided to reclaim their religious roots and move back to the area en masse.
So is Israel allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 2086 years ago?

The government they deserve. Ok. Enjoy disasters being great for business while the country crumbles around you.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
IF that happened, then we could leave.
But it hasn’t happened.
But our Tory government already is super right leaning and that’s all we have now.
If you voted remain you voted to be a part of the larger EU, if you voted leave you voted to only be governed by the tories.
If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you’re on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it’s a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.
The only place you feel like it’s a win is in the fantasy you just mentioned where nazi EU becomes a thing and we escaped just in time.
But reality is that the UK is a lot more right leaning than the EU as a whole, they’re ruining our country, and you voted to give them more power.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
But that’s our realistic alternative.
Either we work with the EU, who have sane, useful laws, with oversight of our own government, or we work with the corrupt tories only, who will keep taking and leave us with nothing.
Perhaps we should have made sure our country wasn’t being run into the ground before getting rid of any oversight.
But now it’s too late, and the results are clear no matter what your fantasy brexit was. The Tories were in charge when you voted to give them more power. And now they have more power. Shocked Pikachu.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
Hold on now, the EU had given us our rules on annoying things like keeping our water clean, allowing citizens to move around, and human rights.
How are we meant to exploit people and the environment being told to live like that?
In fact, the UK has been strong armed into over 52,000 laws!
thomsonreuters.com/…/eu-laws-introduced-in-the-uk…
Look, they’re irritating things like reducing pollution, stopping our packaging from containing hazardous chemicals, keeping working hours fair, protecting temporary workers rights, banker regulation… how are the Tory government supposed to fuck everyone over with all these in place?
