  I hear if your the 10,000 caller to 1-800-IDGAMES you get Carmack on the phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t realize how temporary and disposable Starlink’s satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here’s a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn’t seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that’s something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they both choke on their own bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude Navidrome is so great. I hooked my my decades worth of music collection up to it and now I can stream b-side tracks and indie bands that weren’t on Spotify. Plus when I hit random I know it’s actually random and not some algo to sell the newest slop that Spotify is pushing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tattoos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think comic sans would do a lot for their brand image, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft hypes another generative AI model but doesn't really explain how it'll help [game] developers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A stable diffusion plug-in or something to export 3d models for blender would be awesome. I’ve been waiting for something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the right color⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, it’s like one’s face is too small for his head and the other’s too big for his.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It'll happen to you!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, ARC is pretty convenient, I use it as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It'll happen to you!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember finding 10 foot combo Toslink S-video cables at Radio Shack for like $5. I bought 3 of them and ripped the S-Video off because the Toslink cable was all I was after. I still think it’s better than most other cables for audio.

  I hear the cartels are big on OSHA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, this is really informative. Thanks for the link friend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon, Meta, Uber, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Coinbase, Toyota, Ford, GM, AT&T, Black & Decker, and Charter Communications are also making donations to Trump’s inauguration fund.

  I guess I never really paid attention before but is it normal for companies to donate to an inauguration fund? It sure seems like a government sanctioned protection racket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bombs Awat⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure I can let you get awat with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Wasting Pumpkins!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, why would it become an emergency room curiosity? Ohhhhh, missed that last part. Gourds really are nature’s dildo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balatro gets a second set of free card cosmetics inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, Stardew Valley and others⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This game is insanely addictive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lexar doubles up the NM790 series SSDs max capacity to 8TB — new drives spotted at retail for approx $1,000⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  8tb on one chip? As Bill Gates once said “Damn, that’s a shit load of ram.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wednesday it is, my dudes.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Got take, English got it wrong. I’ve never heard a frog make a sound like"ribbit". German out Turkish seems like a sensible sounds a frog would make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The policy is you can only work from home when it benefits the company, not you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate Reddit as much as the next guy but that just sounds like an asshole mod

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Menopause should be called menostop cause there is no menoresume?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That hurts a little⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard he’s a pretty cool guy and doesn’t afraid of anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No further questions your honour⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that uncommon. Have you seen that documentary called The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a 7k bonus 20 years ago in the military. I seriously considered investing it in the Vangard total stock market index fund. In '04 it was trading at $54 per share, today $282. Had I invested that $7,000 I would have $365,555 today. Instead I “invested” it at the strip club because I was a young dumb E-3 in Pensacola and New Orleans was only a weekend pass away. Long story short, index funds are the way to go.
