- Comment on New Cyberpunk Netflix animation confirmed as 2077 tops 30 million sales 3 weeks ago:
The problem with Solarpunk as a fiction genre is that it’s much harder to write than any of the other --punks. Solarpunk has a positive bent to it in comparison to the usual cynical tone that the others have. This makes drama and friction appear to be much less of a problem for the characters in the world.
There is a way to do it, but it’s harder because you can’t use the same story template that the others use.
- Comment on You know what would be cool? If all those (job name) simulator games could all be joined. 1 month ago:
Ive played in a few of these. It’s an absolute blast once you get your settings dialed in and balanced to everyone else. If they’re not, then the player in the smallest game tends to have a lot of downtime.
The only downside is that the participants need to be familiar enough with their chosen game to do a randomizer which means roping in casual players is difficult.
Also, there are a massive number of unsupported games that you can play like this that are not part of the main website. multiworld.news/apworlds.html
- Comment on The Vatican randomly dropped their new anime mascot and it is polarizing the internet 1 month ago:
Isnt this basically what the Catholic Church did in Dogma when they introduced Buddy Christ? Like down to the motivations and everything?
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
Honestly, AI is super useful if what you need doesn’t require much creativity. For example, if I want to know how to setup an eDiscovery case in Exchange Online then I can probably trust Copilot to tell me the correct answer.
If I need to write a block of code to check for XSS or CSRF, then no, AI is not going to be trustworthy.
- Comment on I won’t be reading the replies 2 months ago:
Casting this would be a challenge. With no costs and no suspend keyword, you’d be basically required to cascade into it
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 2 months ago:
To be fair, the protein folding thing is legitimately impressive and an actual good use for the technology that isnt just harvesting people’s creativity for profit.

- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
It depends on the game.
Trying to play a platformer using a keyboard is miserable. On the flip-side, trying to play an RTS with a controller sounds like one of the worst experiences imaginable.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
That is still an option, but there is a tradeoff. There is a button in the software to enable on-board memory mode.
You lose all your key assignment controls and fine-tuned DPI settings, but it stores on the device. If you want to have those features available, the mouse needs some software on the PC to talk to for more fine-grained control.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
Me either. I have a G502 and I have the G Hub app to control the features(DPI, button assignments, RGB), but I’ve never needed an account to use it.

I am not a material scientist, but I would wonder if molten metals would radiate too much heat to the environment causing an efficiency loss

I think youd get much better flavors doing an infusion rather than a ferment.

- Comment on First-time homebuyers in Oregon get $30K grant — but American citizens aren’t eligible 4 months ago:
The funds come from the state’s tax-funded Economic Equity Investment Program, a program that aims to build economic equity for disadvantaged people, which allocated a $692,775 grant to Hacienda.
So, like, the cost of a single home in Portland?
There are bigger issues to worry about.

My friends and I do a bi-weekly anime night where everyone chooses a series and we watch an episode of each; kind of like a curated Toonami block. One of my friends chose the original Urusei Yatsura.
We’re currently on episode 152, with many more remaining.

- Comment on Researchers develop 3D printed filter for ‘forever chemicals’ in water 4 months ago:
Unless you have indium oxide filament, it wont do any good. This is more of a scientific proof of concept, rather than an engineered drop-in solution.

20 grand for a full 100 point boost to your IQ seems like a pretty good deal.
Like, for the price of a new car I can be smarter than Einstein and realize I probably wasted that 20 grand.
- Comment on Look you've just to got read the prologue that was a limited edition IHOP giveaway in 2015 and the story is awesome 5 months ago:
Fate is pretty easy nowadays. Just start with literally any TV series made after 2010. They’re all self contained stories that explain the premise within the first few episodes.
We’re a long way from the old days where you had to read the VN if you wanted to have any idea about what was going on in the UBW movie.

- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 5 months ago:
No, but HyperV is used extensively in the SMB space.
VMWare is popular for a reason, but its also insanely expensive if you only need an AD server and a file share.
- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 5 months ago:
If this figure is accurate, the massive impact was likely due to collateral damages. If this took down every server at an enterprise and left most of the workstations online, then that still means that those workstations were basically paperweights.
- Comment on Survey shows most people wouldn't pay extra for AI-enhanced hardware | 84% of people said no 5 months ago:
This is one of those weird things that venture capital does sometimes.
VC is is injecting cash into tech right now at obscene levels because they thing that AI is going to be hugely profitable in the near future.
The tech industry is happily taking that money and using it to develop what they can, but it turns out the majority of the public don’t really want the tool if it means they have to pay extra for it. Especially in its current state, where the information is far from reliable.

Sounds like things are working like they should.

- Comment on Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? 5 months ago:
Both Tales of Symphonia and Chrono Cross got abysmal PC ports.
Playing the originals in an emulator is definitely a much better experience
- Comment on FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days 5 months ago:
With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.
I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not available from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.
