Is the DOJ the only working system in the US now?

Meh, sauces are not real. Do your own research folks.
- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 1 day ago:
While I agree with you that some people are too thin skinned to handle some conversation online… Steam forums or YouTube comment sections are really the very worst of the worst.
If all you read is trash tier content on a platform even if you understand it, it still sucks and remain quite infuriating.
Basically, steam forums are mostly trolling so at this point it’s not about the sensitivity of people but rather that these platform are particularly bad.

I did one (or the AI did) in case you missed it and I think it’s pretty good.

The shame of having people ready to elect MTG and Trump is way worse.
These people were elected. Remember that.

- Comment on Apple Shares Full iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Repair Manuals 1 month ago:
Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.
So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.
I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?
It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.
- Comment on Top EU court orders Apple to pay €13 billion tax bill. 2 months ago:
Honestly, don’t give them ideas…
If a business quite literally controls a country we are fucked.
- Comment on What kind of messaging apps do you use? 2 months ago:
I stopped using Signal when they dropped SMS support.
It’s a great project but with very bad leadership and strategy.
They definitely had the best shot to secure communications and wasted it.
- Comment on Nvidia is ditching dedicated G-Sync modules to push back against FreeSync’s ubiquity 2 months ago:
The problem was solved by Nvidia, then AMD made it cheap and accessible and not requiring a dedicated hardware module.
For years and years Nvidia increased artificially by up to 150 euros many Gsync screens and for no legitimate reason. Initially there was NO compatibility with free sync at all.
Nvidia wasn’t kindly solving a gamers problem at least to after the first year of release of that tech. They were forcibly selling expensive hardware modules nobody needed or wanted. And long after freesync showed you could do it just as well without this expensive requirements.
This hardware module they insisted on selling wasn’t solving a technical problem but a money one.
I don’t even think anyone was ever able to differentiate between the different qualities of “sync techs”.
- Comment on Looking for Overwatch alternatives 2 months ago:
Imo valorant has almost nothing to do with Overwatch.
The pace of those games is wildly different, the mobility also…
Valorant is CS with 10% Overwatch sprinkled on it.
I think something like Marvel’s Rivals is a much better alternative.
- Comment on Mandalorian 2 months ago:
Just want to point out that the allergic person seemed to have taken every precautions possible to avoid this. She asked the waiter and the chef multiple times to verify that the allergen wouldn’t be there and they repeatedly said it was the case.
I think there were 4 times where they confirmed that the meal was safe. It wasn’t at all.
So it looked like a really really bad mistake from the restaurant staff.
- Comment on The many, many signs that Kamala Harris’ rally crowds aren’t AI creations 3 months ago:
Trump chooses a topic, lies constantly about it and let people get tired fact checking. Would crowd size be on the news without Trump activating that subject?
- Comment on Shouldn't name the cables after him if they're not for him. 3 months ago:
They are the best cables!
A soft layer outside then some crunchy shielding and then another soft layer and crunchy core. This is clearly a snack.
I’m not a cat (nor a lawyer).
- Comment on Microsoft says EU to blame for the world's worst IT outage | Euronews 3 months ago:
There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.
But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.
I think this has nothing to do with EU and it’s just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.
- Comment on MSI warranty claim database was publicly accessible via Google 4 months ago:
Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.
When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. 🙉
Don’t be the next Aaron Swartz…
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 4 months ago:
I follow closely what is happening in the US from France because even though we have a very different culture I still think US politics is a preview of what’s to come here.
Right now I consider we are at the step where our media are crumbling and becoming unable to properly inform us. A step that has been reached a couple of years ago in the US in my opinion.
The next step will probably be our own coup attempt in a few years and a steady increase in the division of the country and far right movements.
- Comment on Eat the rich? 4 months ago:
I want the same thing I just don’t think taking what is inherited is the way to do it.
I would much rather see the ultra pay properly their taxes when they are alive.
It’s not like taking inheritance money is the only way to finance thing. I don’t see the reasoning.
I can totally understand why someone with huge revenue would pay more taxes but I don’t see why someone who inherits has to pay.
In any case, I think you are missing the point and answering the question “for what purpose?”. Instead of “why?”.
I want to know why it’s more logical to pay taxes when you die rather than paying them in the first place when you got the revenue.
Obviously, the money collected is useful I just don’t see why it has to be collected when it is a time of sorrow for a family.
Also where I live it’s like 50% of the inheritance that is taxed. It is not just significant, it is 50% of the work of a life that goes in one shot to the state when someone dies.
- Comment on Eat the rich? 4 months ago:
Since when does wealth be shared when someone dies ?
No, the money will go to their descendants who will try to get even richer than their parents. A large part of that money will also be taken by the state because ?? and ??.
Nothing would change.
- Comment on The internet connects people 4 months ago:
Maybe people didn’t frequently have weird hobbies before.
The way I see it internet widened enormously the diversity of knowledge we get to check. And that’s these weird rabbit holes online that create the similarly weird new hobbyist.

I would pick Mitch any day.
- Comment on What's stopping you from using Ecosia? Your searches could plant trees! 6 months ago:
You should probably now call all reforestation as bullshit projects just based on a John Oliver video.
There is this interesting blog post on Ecosia :
cariki.co.uk/blogs/…/is-ecosia-legit-or-fake#:~:t….
I understand this is just a blog but there is good sources in there. Ecosia looks like a serious initiative and the fact that they got a B corp rating in Germany is impressive.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 6 months ago:
The dualsense controller is pretty good.
My issue with it is that the trigger buttons quickly got a bit mushy and loose. Didn’t help to play a ton of Rocket League on it but still it’s not a very durable controller.
Also, the battery was completely fucked up by the fact that I was playing it wired on PC. It was all the time charging when I was playing and then apparently discharging when the computer was off. Support is also pretty poor on PC and you often get games that are not compatible.
I’m interested in replacing it eventually by a good hall effect third party controller. Probably the Gamesir T4 Kaleid or something similar.

Meanwhile Larian studio reminding everyone that a good way to make money and avoid layoffs is to be nimble and make good games.
Big Corps sees nimble and good studio making a good game, starts layoffs immediately.
The real murderers are the people that sell their studio to a big publisher. They immediately seal the fate of their teams. They will have layoffs eventually…
