  And people would voluntarily use this browser …why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And no, “updating their game after a highly popular TV show directly related to it came out” doesn’t count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The window for a convincing UFO video has closed⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At a previous company, I got in trouble for fixing a bug because the company made a significant portion of their revenue from paid customer support fixing data related to the bug.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The viruses and exploits will though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an excellent point that I wasn’t considering. Thank you for explaining what I was missing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have software I need that doesn’t run on Linux.

  And your brother!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨D.A. Hochman officially brings death penalty back to Los Angeles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, we apparently still execute people even if we find out they are completely innocent BEFORE they are executed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All those resources and costs are borne by the person hosting the video, NOT Plex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  but if i let things happen, a woman is gonna be always around me lol. and i will have to make plans for her and deal with stuff. then a family reeeee.

  You don’t have to have kids if you don’t want to. My wife and I are in our 40s and neither of us want kids. Society will try to make it seem like that’s just what normal people do, bit screw that noise. Do what makes you happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sadly, Athena toppled over on the moon. With a lunar eclipse coming shortly, why didn't they design in a secondary power source over solar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but communication could still be a problem.

  Generally this kind of probe will have a highly directional antenna that has pretty strict limits on it’s aim. We would have to be very lucky for the antenna to not get damaged during the fall and end up in a position where it can still establish a connection. Even if all the science is fine, it’s as good as useless if it can’t communicate any results or accept commands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sadly, Athena toppled over on the moon. With a lunar eclipse coming shortly, why didn't they design in a secondary power source over solar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How would a secondary power source save it from being tipped over? That’s a mission ending failure no matter how many redundant power sources you have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC chair says we’re too dependent on GPS and wants to explore ‘alternatives’ (read: multi billion contract with Musk)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kind of surprised that Musk hasn’t proposed turning Selective Availability back on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue that Elizabeth Holmes fits the bill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Elizabeth Holmes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump plans to revoke legal status for thousands Ukrainians who fled Russian invasion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Thousands” is really understating the number. Isn’t it something like 240,000 people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother denies using firmware updates to brick printers with third-party ink⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rossman’s “source” was a 3 year old unconfirmed Reddit post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida opens criminal investigation into Tate brothers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He can’t pardon state crimes, only federal ones. At least that’s true according to the Constitution, but we know how this administration follows that, so who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like big phones (and I can not lie)

  The cat pictures community mostly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Op’s criteria wasn’t “is it a good product?”, it was “is it better than Plex?”.

  Slap a pair of googly eyes on it and it as good as has a soul.
