Elon from like 2013 when he was on big bang theory could probably have won. Hell Elon before twitter and the amber heard johnny Depp mess could probably have won. This guy legit was though of as irl Tony Stark until his inexorable demand for attention showed how shallow, weak, privileged and all round disappointing a human being he was.

Now that trumps in charge. Microsoft could buy the Whitehouse and no one would bat an eyelash.

Given the size of lockfiles this would not surprise me but who the hell counts lock files code. Their barely configs :/.

I really hope this is one of those tactile hit it from the top and it’ll trigger from the bottom designs. But more likely they just never expect you to use it.

I’m so tired of this trope :/.
- Comment on Purposely leaving small amounts of crypto on your device is like leaving a few dollars in the console of your car. It lets you know if your property has had it's security breached. 3 weeks ago:
How? Like someone would have to have access to the device and also know how you hid the crypto and then presumably despite having the former decides to only take the latter. Unless I’m misunderstanding. Like crypto is cool, but you know what’s a cooler, a phone that also has crypto in it.

It’s a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that’s hemorrhaging users and engagement.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Explores Shorter Anime for Shrinking Attention Spans in TikTok Generation 5 weeks ago:
Tbf one piece is basically 10 minutes (or less) per episode padded to 20 and with an opening.
- Comment on One Piece Anime Announces Historic Hiatus - ComicBook.com 5 weeks ago:
I think everyone collectively agrees hiatus > padded content. I stopped watching around whole cake island because episodes we’re going a quarter chapter a minute. I’m glad their finally starting to see this, I’m guessing the previous approach was starting to lose viewership or just not be as profitable as it used to be.

Eh, the manga is still gorgeous. Recommend checking it out if anyone’s disappointed.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
I’m aware but last I checked the adaptive triggers and some haptic were unsupported. Was asking if that’s supported now or not.
S.N. not sure why you’re being downvoted.

How’s the dualsense running on Linux? I opted for Xbox elite purely because I thought it’d have better support for the back pads but still not over bluetooth :-(.

This is absurd. Where’s the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?
- Comment on "Skip ad's" YouTube and "Skip Intro" on Netflix take the same amount of effort but I only hate the former. 1 month ago:
Videos haven’t had a single ad in years. It’s always multiples bunched together and inconsistent as to whether you can skip or have to wait it out. Shows only ever have one opening (sometimes an ending as well) and their less predatory.
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
But in the end you get more feature for a higher price. In this case it’s the same app for different prices depending on time frame… not to mention the app has no purpose beyond finding a wallpaper so it only really has 1 feature.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
I legitimately avoided rockstar for years because they force you to use their store even when you buy on steam. I still haven’t played rdr2, despite critical acclaim. I finally caved and got GTAV on sale cause I realised none of this shit works. Consumers using purchasing power to enforce standards is a losing battle. The storefronts or legislators need to enforce this shit. I think it should be valve. They have the market position and userbase to actually succeed or at the very least convince publishers to not break shit that was already working fine.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
I still blame valve a lot for this. Their TOS offer us no protection. Publishers should not be able to retroactively lock down a game. Diminishing the game performance or adding unwanted DRM after purchase should be a refundable offense. People choose whether or not to buy games based on properties like these.
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
It costs $49.99 per year (or $11.99 per month)
Why in the hell does the monthly price end with you paying 280% more than the yearly. That is such an absurd discount I don’t even know why someone would pay at all for this app but more so I want to understand where the price justification is and who came up with this plan.
To be clear I support artists and more than welcome a platform for them to share and sell art if they wish… I don’t get why it needs to be a subscription service and I don’t see how such inflated charges are going to help artists as it’ll just discourage large numbers of people wanting to support them.
- Comment on Because mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens, you are actually admitting your parents music is better - because they are the ones making it. 2 months ago:
Is it stagnation or you just have more of an attachment to the music you grew up with because it literally affected the way your brain matured? Still interesting insight tho.

- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI is out now on Steam and Epic Games Store 2 months ago:
How was it bad for epic? They would’ve made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.

- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 2 months ago:
I mean buying a usb, installing imaging software, not messing up the drive your try to create the installer on. That’s already a lot harder than most tech illiterate people that just need to buy a computer.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 2 months ago:
Well installing it. That alone requires a challenge most folks probably couldn’t overcome easily. People are accustomed to just getting a computer with a working os on it. Changing that os would be pretty hard for them.

I kinda wish we could go back to the world of people hosting their own servers and having subsets of their homedirs on ftp urls. Of course none of that is really approachable to a lot of a people :-(.

- Comment on Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots 2 months ago:
I hate ads but their designed to be shown to people and intentionally using bots to inflate ad views is very clearly fraud. Silicon valley had something similar with bot farms to fake user engagement to take in VC funding. You take money in exchange for some kinda engagement metric which you’re faking.
- Comment on Jesus could have been an antique meme à la Chuck Norris that got waaaay out of hand 2 months ago:
I’ve always had this weird thought that religions sprout up when a grifter finds a fictional book buried somewhere that no ones heard off and builds a cult around it with themselves as the center piece.

Never-ending the decades of these sites compensating for studios just not giving a sh*t about making their content accessible to the rest of the world.
