• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside: what’s the gist of this channel? I’m not really familiar with it but the last few things I’ve seen of it appear to be two brothers communicating to each other via vlogs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Internet is being shitty on link. What is the price increasing to/from? When was the last increase?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long can someone physically walk for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The skin on your feet would be doing some lovely things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which career to pursue?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t like math then we can pretty much eliminate pursuing a masters or phd in Physics from the list of options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨100% free - The Leviathan's Fantasy (on Steam)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks.

  We’ve leveraged ChatGPT to make NPCs more lifelike, allowing them to engage in free-flowing conversations within the game.

  Somewhat tempted to download and poke at that part to get some laughs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most recent one was a little lol because I had gotten a ~15 minute heads up from another terminated coworker about what was going down – HR was late to mine, so there was around 10 minutes of empty small talk with the boss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… I shouldn’t plan on playing this on a Steamdeck when it gets down to $19.99?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A nice tall glass of OJ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how common it is but some households might use frozen orange concentrate and would use a pitcher for storage.

  (Frozen orange concentrate is sold as small cylinders in the frozen food section that you mix with water.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Master Debating, Mom - South Park⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im sure someone will post it - but there’s a site with all the episodes that have been removed for whatever reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In ex ha ha le le⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they want me to sit on the pillows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New moderator for this community!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how you have time for a day job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I persuade you towards a Steamdeck?

  Main thing with those is a lack of extensibility and support from Chinese management.

  At worse you buy one of those, find its limits and then upgrade to something else and use it for homelabing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What did a chess champion do to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could it be similar to the recent Will Smith incident where YouTube was doing AI enchantments?

  I think I could see AI editing being the issue. But I have a hard time believing they’d just deep fake an entire segment for this to be played nationally. I don’t doubt that day will come – but would like to think it wouldn’t be for an issue like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an increasing trend in the fear of germs/contamination (Mysophobia/Germophobia) ever since Covid-19, or is it just me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im loving this recent kissing bug news….

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you think it’s AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you lay the floor down it doubles as a bed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know absolutely nothing about what I’m about to say.

  But I wonder if VR having 2 actual physical displays makes handoff between devices less complicated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox continues efforts for child safety by expanding age estimation to all users by end of the year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  just shutting down

  Just to confirm – we’re all aware that it is very likely something will come in to take its place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is 825GB a common size? Is there any logic to where that being picked came from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup - not a solution for everyone but there are typically Quality Of Service (QOS) services on routers that will do something similar - where it will target a certain threshold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I work off metered data. I’m happy with 360p.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can be targeted. A group was monitoring my social media and targeted my grandparents for money with specific information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The crotch on a couple of my pants are held together with a backstitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Deactivated Premium recently. I used their music app when driving – expecting some ads now - nope, it just doesn’t allow running in the background anymore.

  Seems like such a hostile thing - I’d like to think running ads would be a positive net income for them. (Now that I think of it - maybe they don’t have it built out into their music service.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does an immutable password protected journal suffice? Or do you need the ability to edit past entries? Or do others need the ability to read entries without the password?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just knew it wasn’t Turkey so had to wing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Labor Day Meatloaf was tradition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then I would edit it to “he claims he’s Mexican”.

  My initial pass at it was racism and I would like to assume that wasn’t your intent and didn’t want it to detract from the rest of your discussion points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would advise editing the first part a bit. You start off with “he’s <demographic>” - like that clears something up.
