- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 1 week ago:
I’m really struggling to remember when 's the last time I played an EA game. I can’t really…
Let them monetize everything until oblivion,no one’s gonna stop them anyway,so they might as well slowly die.

- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 5 weeks ago:
Today I installed arch on my dad’s computer. he can’t use one,but it’s a win nonetheless.
- Comment on Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools 1 month ago:
This comment is simply wrong. Linux doesn’t compete with Windows desktop because it’s already ahead of it.
- Comment on USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update 1 month ago:
You have no idea how much I regret buying a Canon Pixmass printer on offer for 50€. I should have just sucked it up and coughed up 100 more to get a damn Brother laser printer.
Well,at least now I get to replace ink cartridges every week or so and I get to print my ass on photographic paper.
Live and learn I guess.
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 2 months ago:
I hope this also means not showing the thousand “setup” screen needed to install the os,post install.
That is single-handedly the worst thing ever and only Apple manages to compete with such tactics.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 2 months ago:
For some people Windows is the PC,like Chrome is the internet and they only “google” things. What a world…
- Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome 2 months ago:
Netscape Navigator has the same issue!
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
why the fuck would I need an AI in a browser? 0 fucks given for this “feature”. firefox is devolving into an edge.
- Comment on Well, this is awkward 3 months ago:
Nothing to see here. just shows how different gaming companies are,with Ubisoft being a greedy sack of shit, barely being able to innovate anymore.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress- Adventure Mode Announcement Trailer 5 months ago:
Can’t wait. Fortress now has been a blast so far. Such a good game.
- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 5 months ago:
Last of us 1 initial scene with Joel’s daughter.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 6 months ago:
No need to apologize, we all have our opinions,but I was expecting you to elaborate on that a bit.
Anyways,no harm no foul.
- Comment on Powerful Malware Disguised as Crypto Miner Infects 1M+ Windows, Linux PCs 6 months ago:
It does though: “On Linux, the malware assumes the name ‘sd-pam’. It achieves persistence using systemd services, an autostarting .desktop file, or by modifying various profile and startup files, such as /etc/rc*, profile, bashrc, or inittab files.”
So technically useless . it can’t do shit.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t turn this into a Firefox vs chrome(ium) fight,but why would anyone use a reskinned chrome(edge) over the original one? Not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 6 months ago:
I know. I have 1.5k hours in x4 and over 100 in Ever space 2, so I pretty much played all content in those. They are not the same thing though.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 6 months ago:
That’s just sad. I invested so much time grinding my way through this game and engineering my 6 ships and getting a fleet carrier only to be ultimately disappointed by the lack of content and lackluster updates.
It saddens me that I now have to look forward to that mess of a tech demo called Star Citizen, but I’ve already burned my money on that too, so I’m only left with a dream.
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 7 months ago:
Thanks for the reminder. Reddit account deleted.
- Comment on Amazon to introduce ads on Prime Video in 2024 7 months ago:
For the first time I was contemplating cancelling my prime subscription,but now I believe the contemplation is over.
- Comment on Over $600 Million Later, Star Citizen Is Now at the Alpha 3.20 Stage 7 months ago:
This is still a glorified tech demo and a walking simulator with ships. Gunplay is pretty sad,pvp is out of the question with that performance, gameplay loops are either bugged to hell or boring as hell.
Instead of adding more ships they should be focusing on polishing and improving what they currently have at least. It’s sad really.
- Comment on Google’s Bard AI can now access Gmail, Drive, Docs, and more 7 months ago:
Good luck using all my spam I get on my gmail I box to serve me ads that get blocked instantly.
- Comment on Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes 8 months ago:
What’s more curious to me is what kind of people are those that resort to such lows?
I mean they might have mental issues,yes,but it’s scary to see that people seemingly intelligent and able to create games (asset flipping not included) can have such low morals and problem solving capabilities.
- Comment on X now wants your biometric data, as well as your job and education history for ‘safety, security, and identification purposes’ 8 months ago:
I’m feeling a fat fine in EU. Can’t wait.
- Comment on Boss fight footage from Beta. Early access is 38 hours from now! Are you ready? 9 months ago:
I’m quite conflicted with getting a package for this game. On one hand it looks and seems to play nice and it’s an mmorpg with guns. On the other hand it’s p2w…
- Comment on Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year 9 months ago:
I mean mainly allowing usage of user installed certificates required by mTLS,or at least that’s my use case. My company requires this in order to get access to company resources or better yet governments also require it for their online services.
- Comment on Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year 9 months ago:
That’s nice,but it would have been great to get certificates into Firefox mobile. Those are exclusive to Chrome browsers and that sucks.
- Comment on Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2 9 months ago:
i used to buy a new one every 2 years or so,but after switching to pixel 6 and graphene os, I think I will replace it once it’s no longer supported.
