• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber’s algorithmic pricing leaves drivers and passengers worse off⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  i live in a really great location for getting onto a bunch of different highways. because of this, ubers circle the area because they are closer to more things. it shows you the ubers in the area, and I will see like 8 or 9 going in circles, waiting. so i select the “wait and save” option on the app, because it’s 3 dollars less and figure the wait won’t be long because demand is low and there are plenty of drivers. nope. it literally just enabled a timer that didn’t put my order through until it was over. it wasn’t giving me a deal for being flexible with my pickup time, it was CHARGING ME 3$ just to have the privilege of them not withholding my service order arbitrarily.

  fuck uber man that made me so mad

  frankly you seem to really care a lot about this topic and i was only making a passing remark on my personal experience, and I don’t really care to learn about the intricate differences between using ios and android. like at all. have a great day though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple announces iOS 26 with Liquid Glass redesign⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  they have been siphoning features off each other for so long, the differences are only splitting hairs imo.

  i meant more like the ux, but yea also that stuff 😂

  i wasn’t interested in baldurs gate. I’m very picky about fantasy settings, but expedition 33 has such a great premise I was all in from the intro onward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses 3.3 Million Copies in 33 Days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i just started streaming this game today after avoiding nearly everything about it, and WOW!! so good already! something this good only comes out once every 5 or 10 years, assuming it keeps up at the same quality of everything I’ve seen so far. I’m only 4 hours in but very impressed by basically every category you can look at a game. and the entire premise being a hyper focused allegory for mortality itself that we all face is very clever, even if very bleak. i can’t wait to see where this game goes! if you wanna watch me on the expedition, hit up www.youtube.com/@crustyoldhuman www.twitch.tv/crustyoldhuman

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut’s new scenes will give fans “refreshing” sense of closure, according to cast⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wasn’t yakuza 0 itself already basically a directors cut compared to the original yakuza? what even is this. fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i already know how to cut an avocado, i was saying these directions are not great at the one specific area people have trouble with, the pit removal. the graphic and instructions do not help and are confusing unless you already understand the method. “firmly embed the blade into the pit by hitting it downward with your palm, then twist the pit out once it’s attached to the knife” is more in line with what they need to hear

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the most confusing part of this process is no clearer in this graphic. “wack knife with heal of hand and twist” and all it shows is the knife sitting on top of the pit? wtf does “wack knife with heal of hand and twist” mean? where do we wack the knife? twist what? the knife?? god i hate this post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not a pacemaker though, it’s a hammer. and sometimes the head flies off a hammer and hits someone in the skull. but no one disputes the fact that hammers are essential tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you’re getting down voted because you accurately conceive of and treat LLMs the way they should be—as tools. the people down voting you do not have this perspective because the only perspective pushed to people outside of a technical career or research is “it’s artificial intelligence and it will revolutionize society”. This is essentially propaganda because the real message should be “it’s an imperfect tool like all tools but boy will it make getting a lot of certain types of work done way more efficient so we can redistribute our own efforts to other tasks quicker”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t think people need to justify Airbnb’s, it’s a great alternative to a hotel for many reasons including those you listed. What needs to be addressed is the damage the shareholders who are running the company are doing to society. let’s not give them too much credit about this choice: they are still sucking up homes from homeowners and removing money from the middle class. they only made this change because someone realized it will make them more money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of the best on N64⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i recently got a retro handheld and loaded it with full libraries in case i ever randomly want to play something from the past without any fuss.

  put this game in my favorites list to check out! never heard even a single thing about it and would have dismissed it based on title and cover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i got a Powkiddy rgb20sx and I LOVE IT. SO MUCH.

  i agree with everything you said, they take some willingness to tinker but boy is the payoff worth it. now that i have the library set up i can swap it out with any device and play anything in the future. i was never a big fan of portable consoles, but having all the retro titles in one little machine is just such a perfect thing. i only paid 60 bucks for my powkiddy, worth every penny

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists create world-first touchable 3D holograms that float in air⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i took “touchable” to mean you could literally feel the shape with your senses, but it appears what they are saying is it’s a way to interact with it, via pass through in various ways, etc. still pretty cool though
