So you agree that saying “they added a data miner” was a false statement?
- Comment on Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two days 1 day ago:
The game executable haven’t changed. All the did was add a generic TOS. That didn’t magically give the game the capability to get kernel level access.
- Comment on Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two days 1 day ago:
The TOS doesn’t give the game executable magical powers to do things it wasn’t written to do.

Are you running out as root for some reason? Cause if you are not running it as root, it doesn’t have root access, absent some kind of major security flaw in Linux.

- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 weeks ago:
All you have to do is look at how much of the collected money actually guess to the school then ask what happens to the rest. That’s why.

Usually bread sticks are baked differently (soft vs crisp), and come with seasonings, or even cheese, that pizza crust lacks.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 3 weeks ago:
I generally agree. My focus was on the “business model” side, where people act like the web exists only to serve business interests. The Web will be just fine, possibly even better, if some of these companies monetizing everything were to fail.
- Comment on if pure water is not conductive why would condensation be an issue for electronics? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, but it’s condensing on something that isn’t perfectly clean.

- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 1 month ago:
And no, “updating their game after a highly popular TV show directly related to it came out” doesn’t count.

You clearly underestimate the stupidity and lack of logic employed by conspiracy theorists.
- Comment on There’s AI Inside Windows Paint and Notepad Now 1 month ago:
Case sensitivity in the language is soo last year. Formatting sensitivity is the new hottness!
- Comment on There’s AI Inside Windows Paint and Notepad Now 1 month ago:
Notepad is perhaps better known as a code editor than a word processor
How many insane people are using notepad for software development that it’s “better known” for that?
- Comment on Why Companies Don’t Fix Bugs 1 month ago:

- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 2 months ago:
I’m confused. If someone is in a place where they are choosing between dating a body pillow and suicide, then they have DEFINITELY made a wrong turn somewhere. They need some kind of assistance, and I hope they can get what they need, no matter what they choose.
I think my statement about “a wrong turn in life” is being taken too seriously; it wasn’t intended to be such a strong and absolute statement of failure. Someone who’s taken a wrong turn has simply made a mistake. It could be minor, it could be serious. I’m not saying their life is worthless. I’ve made a TON of wrong turns myself.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 2 months ago:
If you are dating a body pillow, I think that’s a pretty good sign that you have taken a wrong turn in life.

- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 2 months ago:
I have this gun machine that shoots in all directions randomly. I can’t predict it, so I can’t stop it from shooting you. So sorry. It’s uncontrollable.
I’m sorry, as an American, I’m not seeing the problem. Don’t you just need a second gun that shoots in random directions to stop the first gun? And then a third gun to shoot the 2nd gun? I mean come on now, this is basic 3rd grade common sense!
