  Raiden and Midna at PLAYERINSIDE did it (again) this week and are going to do it again in their video today.

  I bet that if they point out that we are losing to the French, we may achieve incredible results in record time.

  Except in Pisa.

  Here comes the killjoy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:

  “Honda Wins!”

  For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn’t permit them to have long-range missiles.

  Up until now I thought moddb was all that existed.

  Now that’s the real win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely curious: how many explosions before the successful test?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about the GI Rights Hotline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For completeness, Glicemic Index. In this case General Infantry though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both of the services have the option to delete all forwarded messages. This is simply the best first step in order to be able to review what accounts still work with the old addresses (via inbox rules) and slowly change them. I use addy.io for mail aliasing already, but that is not really related to gaining independence from those companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s why I set up forwarding from Gmail and Outlook to my new Tuta account.

  In a few months I should be free, happily paying for EU alternative were the default swipe gesture stands for delete instead of archive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pushing users into paranoia about tracking and privacy is a brilliant way to reduce server load from users that are not producing value on a platform⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is correct and there is a Black Mirror episode that explains it well, the second one of the first season, Fifteen Million Merits.

  The final condition of the protagonist in that episode is the one of the Privacy-informing Youtubers and other creators, if they cannot make enough money with Patreon or other independent revenue streams.

  And even in that case, the original platform is making the most value out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Missing Half-life (the first one). That game was the first one to feature scripted scenes during player interaction and it was mind-blowing. Plus, it had the most sophisticated story ever seen in an FPS before.

  Good one, although still sounding benign. Hormones and in general stuff related to flesh is when this shit hits MeatCanyon territory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other “gym biochem” reeks of body horror.

  Thanks for that link! I was almost gonna start one myself. Gonna try that one instead, at least for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The world will be better when people will stop following the medieval trend of having a lawn. Water consumption, leaf blowers, habitat invasion would be finally gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet they will still make it default.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know to what extent they’ll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is information in itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My position is that there is no way to assert it really did.

  The ban of his account were present in Italian news since March: lapresse.it/…/turchia-x-di-elon-musk-sospende-acc…

  This is old news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I left a precedent in another top-level comment (a screenshot). Also, broke the laws is not my standard in these cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meditation is like drugs but better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If there was any proof of that, the laws would be moving to prohibit in certain professions or situations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that Bluesky didn’t post about it doesn’t mean they did not challenge.

  Also, a file on Google Drive is not a petition submitted. There is nowhere a letter signed or stamped as received.

  You know you can pay a law firm for drafting a letter and then not send it, right?

  There are too many conclusions you are coming to without knowing the actual facts.

  I judge what happened for sure.

  And for sure both of them complied, officially asked to or not, to obscuring a political prisoner’s account (and dozens of other activists as well, by the way).

  Also, regarding X, this is old news, from the end of March.

  Also, are you X? Like, the platform, its personification? Because if you are not, then I didn’t call you a nazi. You can go clean your snot from your neckbeard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have discovered the Gemini protocol yesterday.

  Hosting what they call a capsule would be easy and extremely lightweight and I could surf from an index using an app called Lagrange, available on F-Droid.

  Can you explain how your system differs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know they would comply just as well, as I stated in another comment, because they are a private platform, but actually in this case the presence on Bluesky of the Imamoglu account in perfect condition with 129K followers proves that something else must be the case here.

  Also, X didn’t give a shit about complying in Brazil.

  Nah, Nazi platform does nazi stuff, it’s that simple.

  You can come down the mirror now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Italian here, Roman actually.

  The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

  It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

  So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Expecting Bluesky to do the same in a short while.

  Why?

  Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.

  I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.

  This way I could pass to Linux and don’t have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.
