Even being too lazy to open the weather app, there are so many better and free ways of receiving a message on your phone. This is profoundly stupid.

- Comment on Europe’s onlyfans performers can’t get justice 4 weeks ago:
Though they seem secure behind a paywall, swiping content creators’ explicit photos and videos from subscription-based platforms such as OnlyFans, Patreon, and Fansly is relatively easy. People can download third-party apps for the task, and if those don’t work, a few basic coding tutorials can teach them how to surpass anti-theft technology. These images and videos then proliferate across the internet, on niche forums, Reddit threads, Discord servers, and Telegram groups with tens of thousands of participants. Today, a growing legal consensus considers this activity to be sexual abuse.
I think you deliberately skipped this part.

Damn, I can’t believe I accidentally sexually abused Kate Winslet by pirating Titanic.
- Comment on Day 296 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I’m playing through Morrowind for the first time right now (past a few hours in at least), and I’ve been blown away at just how much more interesting of a plot and setting it has compared to everything Bethesda ever made after it. The miss chance, spell fail chance, and non-regenerating magicka was always enough to scare me away before, but I finally understood what a huge impact fatigue has on everything, and how much more terrible you are at low-level skills are compared to their later games.
I also like the progression of my character walking around slow as shit at level 1 taking forever to get anywhere vs running around at 30mph jumping from canton to canton in Vivec like it’s nothing now.
- Comment on Full Xbox 360 recompilation for PC debuts with Sonic Unleashed Recompiled 3 months ago:
That’s any recompilation, the game has to be decompiled manually first.
- Comment on Help with lxc write access 3 months ago:
That reddit thread is horrible advice, it’s just mapping the LXC root user to the host root user, which is just an privileged LXC with extra steps.
The reason you’re probably having issues is that your root user in the LXC is mapped to the host user 100000 by default, and that user doesn’t have access to the share, but you can change that with mount options or creating a user with 100000:100000 and adding it to a group with access.
- Comment on We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend. 3 months ago:
Why would it need to be “okayed”? If they’re not providing the files then they’re not infringing on any IP.

I use Tautulli, but I’m not sure if that is going to cover all the same use cases.
- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 7 months ago:
I’ve been using it as my primary browser on Android for years so I don’t really have much to compare it to, but I haven’t had any issues with extension compatibility. It includes changes from Tor browser and Arkenfox so it’s more privacy-focused than on performance.
- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 7 months ago:
I’ll just throw out Mull from DivestOS’s third-party f-droid repo as an up to date alternative. The newest versions are incompatible with the main repo but here is their explanation:
Updated Mull to 131.0.0, has 14+1+25 security fixes from the previous 129.0.2 release. In order to resolve the compilation issue introduced in 130, Mull is now compiled using Mozilla’s prebuilt clang toolchain. This however is incompatible with the F-Droid.org inclusion criteria, so these updates (for now at least) will only be available via the DivestOS.org F-Droid repository. Please note, while this adds a prebuilt dependency, the result does still remain FOSS.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #32 - Duck Season PC 7 months ago:
Duck Season (the VR game) came first, and SLZ is a VR dev studio. This version is the traditional PC game port of the original VR game.
- Comment on Day 1 of someone finally posting screenshots from a screenshot-worthy game, until I forget to post screenshots 8 months ago:
It’s even funnier that no, I didn’t.
But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing “anime girl” into google images and saving one of them.
- Comment on Day 1 of someone finally posting screenshots from a screenshot-worthy game, until I forget to post screenshots 8 months ago:
Maybe you think they’re lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.
- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 8 months ago:
I’m having trouble digging it up, but the person who created Steamspy a number of years ago, before privacy laws made public profiles opt-in and interfered with its ability to collect data, found that the majority of Steam accounts only had a single game in their libraries.
A lot of those are going to be alts people made to evade game/server bans or smurf.
I may or may not have made 10 accounts that only had Garry’s Mod on them circa 2010.
- Comment on Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse 8 months ago:
A lack of analog controls is definitely an issue. Having digital buttons on keys that are either 100% on or off loses a ton of fine control.
Playing GTA and need to make a slight left while driving? On a gamepad you just slightly tilt the stick left to make a smooth turn. On keyboard you have to do a bunch of short little taps on A (and D when you inevitably oversteer) to stop yourself from jerking the wheel left.
I remember really wanting a Logitech G13 when they came out but I could never justify spending the money on one.
