- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 2 weeks ago:
I use it, I just tip way more than anyone else in my area tips. Mostly out of guilt, partially out of solidarity for the working person.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 weeks ago:
Game is so intense. I really like the way it does inventory though
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 weeks ago:
Why do people still play this game??
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
Well played!
- Comment on Happy New Year Lemmy! It's 9 pm and I'm going to sleep. 2 weeks ago:
Fireworks also aren’t legal in large swathes of the US. Doesn’t stop people.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime
If only the inequality gap were this small…
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
Because we are taught by society to not poop at work.
LOL I must have been home sick during that lesson…
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
Pros poop during the meal.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think his reasoning is relevant at all. I could not care less why he chose to wore jeans. The rule is stupid, period.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 3 weeks ago:
I don’t care all that much for golf, but if someone wanted to wear jeans while golfing, I would not give two shits. Anyone who does is just gatekeeping their boring-ass networking scheme.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 3 weeks ago:
Literally every professional sports has some form of equipment requirement and chess is probably one of the cheapest.
For real? You realize that those are utilitarian, right?
- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 3 months ago:
EndeavourOS was the first Linux distro I used when I switched a little over a year ago.
I have not tried any other because I have felt no need. And I’ve gotten so used to using pacman, and Arch repositories for maintaining everything, that I have no reason to try anything else
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 3 months ago:
Never raw dog the net like that…
- Comment on Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox Strangers 3 months ago:
They’ll probably just end up making (a very expensive) method of obscuring themselves from the recognition tech. That way they won’t need to pass any laws, and ad companies (or cops or anyone else who knows how to jailbreak their hardware. Probably) can still take advantage of the technology in some way.

Ads you say?
I’ll have to take your word for it…
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 3 months ago:
I imagine they’re mostly going to target videos and channels that review those devices that you buy pre-loaded with 1TB of ROMs or whatever. I would think people doing video essays and shit will be fine.
Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 3 months ago:
Good list. Also, Astral Chain
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 3 months ago:
Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best games ever made. And it’s not a “sandbox”.
Also the new Zelda game that just came out the other day is pretty great.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 3 months ago:
Civil suits? They belong in prison.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 3 months ago:
It’s definitely not extremely common.

FLOSS software
Lol
- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 5 months ago:
The unfortunate thing is that, in the long run, that strategy will probably be super effective. Unless Europe (with the only internet regulations that actually have teeth) does something different, they will probably pay a few small fines over this at most. Cost of doing business and probably baked in already.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 5 months ago:
For sure… Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 5 months ago:
Totally. I wasn’t trying to rag on Valve… More just a comment about capitalism in general and how shitty it is.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 5 months ago:
These products are experimental and usually sold at or near cost not to make money but to prove to the market there is a need and a demand.
Well, no… I think it’s more akin to the concept of “loss-leaders”. Get people in the door and while they’re there, they’ll buy a game or two. Which is where their real profits come from.
In the end, it’s still just a business strategy intended to result in profits for Valve.
However, that being said, the fact that they don’t have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits and keep that stock price up at (literally) all costs, allows them to operate the way they do.
Don’t get it twisted, they are a for-profit corporation, and their ultimate goal is making money.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 5 months ago:
FIGHT!
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 5 months ago:
They’re also one of the few (possibly only) that has not gone public.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

I’m sorry, input was not understood. Perhaps you meant:
*sexy scat and pooey role play forums"?
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza 6 months ago:
Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone’s comment history to try to find things to hurt them… Good think I’m not ashamed of either of those things.
And just to clarify the latter, criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it’s literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn’t be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.
