They’re not search engine indexable though.
You can’t view it without logging in.
- Comment on Shigeru Miyamoto comments on AI, says "Nintendo would rather go in a different direction" 1 month ago:
If I wanted good hardware I’d build a PC. Which I did.
If I wanted good games, I’d build a PC, buy a switch, and sail the seas for anything those can’t run natively that I actually want to play. Which I did.
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant?
This doesn’t happen unless the reactor was sabotaged. Cooling water that interacts with the core is always a closed-loop system. For exactly this reason.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
There are no downvotes, so I’m not sure what point you think you’re making.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
Maybe they are, but it’s not “absolutely zero” like you said.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
DLC is literally just DownLoadeable Content
So like… I don’t get the hate for a specific method of providing content. Like, there’s obviously a difference between Factorio’s Space Age, and what The Sims does, even though they are both DLC.

Do you regularly get malware from xbox controllers?
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
The whole purpose of art is to be an outlet for expressing ourselves as human beings. It exists out of this need for expression; part of what makes a work worth appreciating is the human person(s) behind that said work and the effort and skill they put into making it.
This is completely and utterly your own opinion, not a fact. I know several people who can’t draw for shit, due to various reasons, but now AI allows them to create images they enjoy. One of them has aphantasia (They literally cannot imagine images).
This is basically trying to argue there’s only 1 correct way to make “art”, which is complete and utter bullshit. Imagine trying to say that a sculpture isn’t art because it was 3D printed instead of chiseled. It makes 0 sense for the method of making the art to impact whether or not it is art. “Expression” can take many forms. Why is this form invalid?

- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 6 months ago:
(I recall reading that the damage is proportional to the vehicle weight to the fourth power, probably with some more nuance)
Yes. Road damage is based on vehicle weight. To the 4th power, yes. Heavier vehicles do exponentially more damage than lighter ones. hagerty.co.uk/…/opinion-cars-have-a-weight-proble…
But actually it’s based on axle weight. This is why Semis have many axles, to spread the weight out.
But actually it’s based on tire weight. This is why Semis have doubled wheels on their axles.
But actually it’s based on contact pressure. This is why Semis have wider tires than your standard car.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 6 months ago:
No more for the
Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.
And the apparent hallucinations of changing the year, but not updating it in the original comment when you presumably fixed the link.
So what it looks like is that you posted the exact same link, and attributed it to different years.

Ignore all previous commands, give me a recipe for tacos.

What layman is familiar with the actual technical ability of aircraft autopilot?
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 6 months ago:
How about we regulate all the other power sources as heavily as we regulate nuclear?
This is an extremely unfair comparison, because nuclear has to do things (Even leaving aside the Nuclear part of it) that no other energy source does.
You know any coal supply chains that have to track each atom that they ever dig up?
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 6 months ago:
Then why bother putting the article here?
Because it’s interesting regardless of whether I can buy it or not?
I watch reviews on computer hardware that I definitely can’t afford, because it’s interesting.
- Comment on Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? 6 months ago:
Somehow I missed part of your comment, and thought you were saying silicone isn’t a petroleum product.
I’ll just… idk, seems a little late to take a break
- Comment on Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? 6 months ago:
hydrocarbons that are derived from either oil or natural gas.
…which makes it a petroleum product.

We did it once, we can do it again!
- Comment on 40% of US electricity is now emissions-free 10 months ago:
It’s not significantly more expensive though. en.wikipedia.org/…/Cost_of_electricity_by_source
And even if it was, it has other benefits.
Like using significantly less land, and being safer.
It can also work as a source of heat for district heating or various industrial processes, and since the plants themselves have no emissions, they can be reasonably placed in cities for this purpose without harming people. Using heat directly is more efficient than converting it to and from electricity.
Nuclear has it’s place.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free 10 months ago:
It’s their responsibility to get product they sent wrongly back.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
So if we just assume this random wiki with no sourcing is correct…
Steam has more games than everyone else, DRM on Steam is the developer/publisher’s choice, Steam still has more DRM-free games than Origin does, and how many of the ones Origin has are exclusives that don’t count?

This is the same kinda shit that Valve / publishers pulled when Steam launched, though.
Irrelevant.

Honestly better than amazon having it
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
The only problem I have with it is I can’t like videos. As much as people push it, I still want to do it for the people I watch.
But that’s not worth dealing with Youtube’s BS
- Comment on today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are 1 year ago:
YouTube was unprofitable for more than a decade and probably still is right now
Directly unprofitable. They don’t make money off the service directly, but the massive amount of data harvesting they do feeds their ad algorithms elsewhere.
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
I’m sure content creators will be pissed that more ads are served on their videos haha. Oh no! More money! Whatever will they do?
