- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 5 days ago:
10% market share is when I expect it to be impossible to ignore and I think we’re gonna get there fast like you alluded to.
But…mainly for games. The corporate crowd will stay on Windows because they benefit from propping up other corporations. PC/laptop manufacturers will still push Windows for the same reason

You’re not a very observant person, are you?

No way, dude. We’re talking about ICE agents here, they definitely don’t understand anything about international relations

I am irrationally angry that wind is blue instead of hydro
- Comment on Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog 2 weeks ago:
I read your posts when I see them and they’re better than the vast majority of game reviews I’ve read - even if they’re not “formal” reviews.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
I dunno, there’s a pretty big distinction. “Please use our shitty thing” vs “Please make our shitty thing better so people want to use it”
It’s placing “blame” on the industry leaders for failing to make something useful
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
Oh you don’t have to convince me it was a mistake, his comment just wasn’t what it’s being made out to be. “Find a use for it or we’re fucked” is a lot different than “please use our product or we’re fucked”
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
I was expecting something much worse but to me it deels like he’s saying “we, the people working on this stuff, need to find real use cases that actually justifies the expense” which is…pretty reasonable
Not defending him or Microsoft at all here but it sounds like normal business shit, not a CEO begging users to like their product
- Comment on Fed chair Powell says targeted by federal probe 3 weeks ago:
Yeah so this comment makes it pretty clear you don’t understand what his job is.

All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it
- Comment on Fed chair Powell says targeted by federal probe 3 weeks ago:
Powell is a reason the economy isn’t completely fucked. He’s been one of the only people consistently putting the country first and saying no to Trump’s demands.
He’s no saint but he’s not a clown. This is not a cause for celebration
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 4 weeks ago:
Good question. At the very least, steam will cloud sync it regardless of where it’s at on the drive so that’s an option
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 4 weeks ago:
That would be even more work IMO
Unless they want to separate their non-game files, too
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 4 weeks ago:
Hey have you tried Steam Family or whatever it’s called? You can make a new user and they have access to all of your game library. Only one account would be able to play at a time but it would solve your save file dilemma - games files are in the common folder but save files are in the user folder
- Comment on YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing 4 weeks ago:
Did you link these without reading them…?
-
That Pew Research article goes against that narrative in a lot of ways
-
The second link discusses how claiming 80% is misleading with statistics
-
The third is an Israeli publication. I’ll admit I didn’t bother finishing this one because I don’t believe it to be unbiased
-
- Comment on YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard this claim but I’ve also heard it ripped apart as being misleading. And I’ve never seen the actual poll it’s based on, do you have that handy?
It predates 2023 and up until that point, “Zionism” meant “Israel is the holy land” to a lot of people
- Comment on YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing 4 weeks ago:
The greatest enemy of Jews worldwide right now is the Israeli government. What the fuck, man? It’s like they’re trying to get American Jews killed
- Comment on China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal 4 weeks ago:
According to the article, the actual performance is on par with a GTX 660 Ti
- Comment on China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia.
Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??

- Comment on My Christmas gift to myself 5 weeks ago:
Nice TC. I heard they’re prone to root rot but I haven’t had any problems yet…though it did come in a pot with ALL potting soil so I assume people just aren’t compensating for that and over watering.
Looks like yours didn’t come with perlite or orchid bark either so be aware!

This is a great question because if you’re not familiar with wireless communication, it does make sense
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 month ago:
I definitely will, I liked the last one! I just wanted to clear up what the scandal was - it wasn’t something anyone could think creators should have seen coming
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 month ago:
Another thing even the most cynical person can easily see is extortion!
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 month ago:
I know we’re all jaded nerds on this corner of the internet that are well aware of “if you’re not paying, etc. etc.”
Haven’t watched this video but IIRC the real scandal was that the extension would change the cookie to identify Honey as your referrer so the content creators whose referral you actually used didn’t get paid. No matter how jaded you are, you can see that as the theft it is
- Comment on The Revolution Will Not Make the Hacker News Front Page 1 month ago:
Hackernews is a VC-funded website for techbros who want to feel like they’re cool and smarty hackers. It has an even higher percentage of know-it-alls than reddit. MBAs who got into it for the money.
