• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They also don’t understand that the impact of the “lazy poor” is exaggerated by the rich to turn your attention away from The Big Theft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically."⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in an closed focus group once, and you would not believe how weird questions can be when they come from an out of touch marketing department in a billion dollar company…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which AI scraper went rogue this time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Every once in a while, Microsoft makes fundamental mistakes which they only survive because of their size. Think Microsoft Bob or Windows 8. Looks like Windows 11 is heading in the same direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Something is preventing JavaScript on your computer” - that’s just a sign of a security concious person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gents...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For every sign, there is a reason. An issue or problem big enough so somebody bothered and made a sign and hung it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says he will likely sue the BBC for up to $5 billion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He says a lot of meaningless junk all day. The BBC basically compressed the message to the core. Nobody can really deny that he incided this criminal and law overthrowing mob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why eat them? You better turn them to compost, so they can actually help something grow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. A Companion Cube shaped gaming PC would be perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Parrots with a stolen dictionary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can do anything at Zombocom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The prototype exists - somewhere - in my office, but I can’t provide pictures, sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can do anything at Zombocom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You should see some of the contraptions I’ve done (or had done) over the years. Like basically taking a a BGA FPGA off the board, soldering wires to the pads, and soldering the other ends to the balls of a different brand of FPGA to get something working while switching suppliers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I didn't verify the headline.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they still need a doctors diagnosis to put this person into a padded cell?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'TISM ALERT!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there still a difference nowadays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Somehow I get NeXT vibes…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s because for every robot taxi there are literally millions of human drivers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the shit those AI driven cars do on the road, I’d rather drive with a human driver. It’s most likely way safer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck surviving AI taxis at high speed, both for the passengers and the people in the cars around them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually pay attention to my environment? I don’t walk onto a busy road without looking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Did VLC's Site Get Ads?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a difference between a software being ad free and a download site being ad free (or in this case, not). As long as the tool is OK, I don’t mind ads on the site. I don’t see them, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what would you do with an old dell server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a DELL server that I used as home server, but it was too loud. But it worked well, even at an advanced age. I moved the disks to a normal desktop machine (not DELL) that is much, much quieter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting looking ring. Wonder what it means?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This ring obviously belongs to an AFOL who is proficient with building techniques where studs are not always on top.

  I leave it to the reader to determine what is the connection here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Become unrecognizable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The unrecognizable will already come with “2L water (high pH if possible)”. Just go for “water” with pH 14. Two liters a day will make you unrecognizable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Contents of Queen's Purse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d expect a wrench and screwdriver or two. At least she knew how to use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Localizing English error messages makes it slightly harder to search for solutions online.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or the software is so shitty that you cannot get translations correct because they assumed every language in the world works like English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously depends on what you are doing with that car.

  I would not expect my plumber or electrician come by bike, even a cargo bike.

  There are people who have to commute to work, and who don’t live in city centers. Public transport is either bad or nearly non-existent.

  Arguing against a car comes from the narrowmindedness of living in a city center with short ways and buses every five minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't people harassing marketers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s music I would not touch with a ten foot pole.

  Luckily, we don’t get random telemarketers calls here. The last ones who tried were a few years ago, and I reported them to the authorities, who shut them down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025, And We're Getting A Brand New 8-Bit Game Console⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you are four TVs ahead of me. Oldest I have to offer has a VGA.

  I might have a digitizer box somewhere with an RCA input and USB2 link producing mp4 or avi. But that probably will have delays that would make playing anything about impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are quite some fruits you better leave in the fridge until they go bad and you can bin them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump doubles down on the economy despite a strong rebuke from voters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Economy is not bad enough, lets make it even worse!
