Horribly enough, that is how the USA collapses in the CP2077 timeline:
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 days ago:
Running water would allow for 30% reduction in bacteria, according to some sources.
Also, in that time period soap was known in Spain, France and Italy, and I personally made it in the summer using either olive oil or pork fat.

That would be a warlock I guess.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 days ago:
Given the rate at which people would become mentally or physically disabled because of diseases, you could argue it would have a network effect (probably a better term exists): I would have more chances to meet people and influence them, to learn something useful, to accumulate and use wealth for the above, so yeah…

What is an alternative to burning for long-term immobilization?
Asking for a friend.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 1 week ago:
3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.
3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.
Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!
- Comment on Every time you eat, you're trusting many strangers to not have tampered with your food 2 weeks ago:
Damn! You are a tough cookie. Do you go to the barber?
- Comment on Every time you eat, you're trusting many strangers to not have tampered with your food 2 weeks ago:
This is actually my very favorite kind of reasoning to oppose to conspiracy theorists. I don’t use food though, because people rarely think of death as a consequence of tampering with food: I use air travel.
“So you say I shouldn’t trust anyone, I see… So you don’t fly anywhere?” “What has that anything to do with it?” “Do you realize how many different people are involved in running checks just to keep you alive at any given moment of a flight and even in the airport?”
Usually these people drive everywhere and are borderline against the existence of public transport, so using trains or subway lines doesn’t work.
- Comment on Now Teams has even spam? 2 weeks ago:
Oh didn’t know they were AI generated. I thought it was just the work of underpaid UI designers, kind of a silent protest

- Comment on Anyone know of any active alternative communities? eg goth, tattoo, punk etc. 3 weeks ago:
Try talking in them anyway, maybe something general that you can crosspost to all of them at first. I had luck with talking into eternally silent Elite: Dangerous communities.
The beauty of a place without algorithmic feed is that things can surface way more easily.
Also, I wanted to use the Public API calculate a recent activity/users ratio to identify the silent communities that would be more worth interacting with.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 weeks ago:
I collect all the stars since GTA III.
I also play everything on Easy because I have a life.

Show this to Varoufakis.

Good enough. Now tell me where it is made and you can call it perfect.
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 5 weeks ago:
Oh well, Augustus was probably bisexual as well, rumored to be a bottom (which was the only thing Romans kind of picked up on) and he was well-known for his serial adultery, although I guess Markie would see this as something cool, while Augustus actually wrote laws against this behavior himself.
- Comment on What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses? 5 weeks ago:
I just passed by the settings page and requested all my data. When I receive it, I will delete the account which, according to their full privacy statement, requires them to discard my sample, delete my data AND opt me out of 23andMe Research.
- Comment on How chatbots could spark the next big mental health crisis. 5 weeks ago:
What I could easily see happening is that if that particular subset of users is demonstrated to be high spending, or if the AI wrapper products that appeal to them are going to prove to be, then this result, no matter the direction of the correlation, is going to be disregarded.
- Comment on Schedule I, a first person drug empire management game, released in early access on Steam (demo available) 5 weeks ago:
I want Steve Levitt to stream himself playing this!
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 5 weeks ago:
Gaius Julius Caesar, most probably bisexual as widely accepted in Roman society, rumored to have been having an affair with the King of Bithynia and affected by mini-strokes or epilepsy.
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 5 weeks ago:
I bet that if you tell Markie that Caesar was a probably bisexual man affected by mini-strokes and/or epilepsy, he would make those t-shirts disappear in a minute.
Ignorance is bliss.

Crossing my fingers for Ladybird to be that browser.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
I am not sure about that within US Law, but given what it usually sums up to, yes, it is a risk, which would make things even faster, possibly.
- Comment on Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives. 5 weeks ago:
I guess this is what the first iteration of the Blackwall looks like.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
That’s when we come onto the scene.
I am continuously “translating” news and opinions from here on LinkedIn. Already got banned from a professional Slack that contains most people in my industry for saying in a private conversation that I like watermelon.
Not gonna stop. People are not politically inclined because we kept our knowledge to ourselves for too long.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
Well, you could dismantle it. I also don’t know if in such a sale all product-related patents follow.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
Selling it means receiving money for it. Mozilla without Google support, which at that point would be lacking, wouldn’t have the means.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
I guess for Trump they look shiny themselves, while the Google guy looks somehow not white nor orange enough.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don’t see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself. while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.
If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.
