It is a unicorn. I dread the day Gaben dies and Valve ends up going public. It feels like the last bastion of decent online services.

Until they lock it up where you can’t. Or they’ll decide on selling data and injecting ads into your convos or streams.
In other words this hasn’t been enshittified to the max yet at all. There are new and horrible depths to explore.

Prescription method does wonders for focus. Lol
I’m riding the same struggle bus and there are a lot of us. More like a struggle cruisliner, or struggle ark. Keep up the fight. I know it’s exhausting, but don’t let the bastards drag you down.

…fuck off.

Because all you bitches are supposed to have therapy to help you get over petty anxieties like talking on the phone. 😋
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 3 weeks ago:
I see about 3 I’m either interested in or played. CP2077 is definitely worth getting into. As is Baldurs Gate 3 from what I know of it.
- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 3 weeks ago:
Older stuff, nearly 100%. New stuff, still really high to nearly 100%. The only place you’ll run into trouble is with devices made with only windows drivers etc. So things like a USB label printer or glucose monitor or something like that.
Computer hardware though, very unlikely to see an issue. Servers use both the CPU and GPU. And most servers run some flavor of Linux.

What’s Realtek done? I haven’t kept up on them.

I’ve hated and avoided 11 since I first experienced it. After Xmas I had to help setup my parents new PC. It of course is win 11. I spent so much fucking time getting that shit just to a usable state. I’m more convinced than ever to fuck off from MS for good.

My favorite feature is honestly so simple. Denying network permissions during install.
- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I was going to mention that incident. I see way more porn VNs on steam than on GOG.
- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 3 weeks ago:
How much of that (the game related stuff rather than the GOG specific things) is due to publisher/developer restrictions I wonder.
Didn’t know about most of that though. Very disappointing hearing about non-drm-free games too. That’s the main and definitely most important reason I’ve been buying things on GOG. DRM free with an offline installer.
The only one not bothering me is the porn games. As long as I can filter things with a default filter if it gets annoying, I’m not bothered buy any type of game being sold there.

In what way?
- Comment on BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit 4 weeks ago:
I’m stoked to give it a try. I left my last PDF application because they injected AI into it. So I’ve been shopping around a little. I’ve been using Okular, but it’s really limited, even as a viewer. This looks awesome. Nicely done! I hope you keep at it!
- Comment on BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit 4 weeks ago:
Lol wait seriously? Surely those are a joke.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
New taskbar from ground up. And despite all the requests to bring the feature back, their reasoning amounts to “we’re too lazy”
- Comment on Open Fodder, an open source port of the classic Cannon Fodder v2.0 released 5 weeks ago:
Lol fantastic. My uncle introduced me to this one when I was a kid
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 5 weeks ago:
I’m not moving any goal posts. You made a statement that equates to “but it is easy if you are american so Americans are whiners” and that’s just plain false. Easier than some countries, sure. But still not easy.
Just because a couple barriers are removed, doesn’t make the process easy and accessible. Glad you can galavant about with nary a care, I wish I were so priviledged as you, but that’s not realistic for the overwhelming majority regardless of country of origin.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 5 weeks ago:
I use 2x on certain videos where some talks really slow and I want them to get on with the explanation but don’t want to scrub through it trying to hit the right timestamp.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 5 weeks ago:
I can definitely understand that. It’s especially bad coming back to an old save. Feels like Gandalf in Moria “I have no memory of this place…”
Also…
Fuck you Shoresy!

Oooooo ship ship.
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 1 month ago:
No one is whining about having a strong passport though. You’re giving a false equivalence. In most cases it’s about not having the funds, skill set, or resources to leave.

While there are definitely perks to being an American trying to relocate, it’s also definitely not easy. If you think it is, you are operating under a survivorship bias. Your situation will vary greatly from another’s.

And this is one of a few reasons that frequent password changes aren’t very helpful in increasing security over the difficulty it adds to the end users.

Lol perfect, I like that.

I will never be surprised by insecure IoT devices.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 month ago:
My ddr4 now costs more than I bought it for originally. This after having dipped below $70 for 32GB. Now it’s over 300.
