When that door is closed, you’re forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.
- Comment on AI-powered weapons scanners used in NYC subway found zero guns in one month test 3 weeks ago:
With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it’s justified because the machine told them so.

What agenda is that referencing? I’m out of the loop.
- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
Helldivers 2 works on Linux by the way. It was the first game I installed on Linux and I have almost 100 hrs on it. I haven’t tried the others you mentioned though.
- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
I switched to Linux Mint a couple months ago and use Steam a lot. I’ve tried at least 10 games and all worked perfectly.
But I don’t do competitive multiplayer. Those are more likely to have issues with anti-cheats. Although I did try Hell Let Loose and Helldivers very successfully and those are both major online titles.
Check protondb.com if you’re worried about a specific game’s compatibility. I’ve had silver rated games work perfectly though.
- Comment on Stages of grief 3 months ago:
That’s true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.
Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they’re a linear progression of steps. I’ve only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).

It’s possible, but the feature isn’t supported on your OS.
- Comment on Study: 83% of Americans will have to work into their 70s in order to afford to retire 4 months ago:
All they have to do is take it away from future generations while allowing the current elderly generation keep it.
The old voters stay happy and the politicians who screw everyone over are long gone by the time the implications hit.

It’s not beneficial. We’re in the realm of aesthetic design, and no amount of reasoning will free you from these toaster coasters.

Yeah it actually looked worse in person than I expected.
It looks like how a caveman would draw a car after only seeing them on a Playstation 1.

Oh god flashbacks to the Overcooked ice level while drinking.
So many chefs died that day.
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 6 months ago:
I get that they’re successful, and it’d be fantastic if this became the trend. But Battlefield and Call of Duty sell consistently with much less development effort and a lot lower risk of flopping.
It looks like Call of Duty is typically 3 year development cycles, and one took only 1.5 years. Baldur’s Gate took 6 years.

He’d have to work 3.7 million years of 40 hour work weeks at US minimum wage, $7.25.
Pretty well highlights the insanity of $56 billion.

With the joy of high deductible health plans you can pay thousands of dollars in network, because they can get away with it.

- Comment on No tip 8 months ago:
I’m not sure how I made it “nobody’s fault”. It’s the corporation’s fault for low wages, and the government’s fault for allowing them to do that.
- Comment on No tip 8 months ago:
It sucks that low wage workers are stuck in the middle, but corporations are also relying on customer guilt to pay their labor costs while posting record profits.
It’s not really fair to blame the customer for that.

I absolutely agree, eating meat should count as eating at least one salad too.
