- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 3 days ago:
Yep. Already did at home and I still need Windows at work. I may get to that point eventually but not there yet myself. When it’s time for a hardware refresh for me, I think I’ll push for Linux and see if I can work on ways to roll it out elsewhere too. I really need to find a way to manage it in a similar way to Group Policy, but haven’t looked into it too much yet.
- Comment on MySQL users be warned: git commits in mysql-server significantly declined 2025 5 days ago:
I wouldn’t say there’s anything bad about Nginx, but for a reverse proxy, Caddy just makes things so much easier since certificate issuance and management is the most frustrating thing about hosting web sites. At work, I pushed us to Caddy and we have 301 certificates running on it currently and it has zero issues with it. The other guys love how hands off it is too, especially now that I moved us to using Postgres for its storage.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 1 week ago:
Sure, but my point is that the purchase isn’t why this happened. It’s huge stretch to say that, we’re way past the teething stages here and it’s been a Microsoft product for a long time now. No love lost for Microsoft by me, I’m full-time on Linux anyhow so it’s not like I’m defending them or something absurd.
GitHub themselves have gotten to be a big company and big companies make heavy-handed and controversial decisions on their own. Maybe GitHub is the baddie is all I’m trying to say here.

So they waited 7 years to do the ban? You know that happened in 2018, right?

Lol yes. I knew what OP meant and assumed they were right and went with it.
- Comment on The Rise Of Fake Casio Scientific Calculators 2 weeks ago:
The best part about using an RPM calculator (I also had an HP) was that if someone asked if they could borrow it, I could tell them that if they call do 1+1 and get 2 on it, they could use it. No one ever was successful.
RPM is great though, it’s so fast if you could quickly organize the order of operations.

- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 3 weeks ago:
I’m not talking about this particular article, I’m talking about the sentiment of wanting to shut off the conversation about those topics you mentioned. Like I said, do what you have to do and take care of your own mental health. I assume that if you were only talking about reposting of this article you’d not have mentioned your whole list of topics.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 3 weeks ago:
Yes, please just hide these. We ignoring these issues at large is how we got to where we’re at and it’ll continue getting worse if we just stop talking about it. But you need to do what you can to take of yourself, first and foremost.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 3 weeks ago:
I agree with your sentiment, but this needs to keep being said and said and said like we’re shouting into the void until the ignorant masses finally hear it.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 3 weeks ago:
Lol fair. Trust me, I know enough about being a fanboy myself for games I felt deserved better ratings. Again, no problem with them at all, I’ve loved a handful of their games, like Grounded. Haven’t played 2 yet, but my previous friend group had some fallout last year so I’ll have to see who I’m playing that with.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 weeks ago:
I’m not saying they’re unable to. Are you purposely trying to miss the point? Crushing a lithium battery is a bad fucking idea. Explosively bad fucking idea. What I’m trying to tell you is that yes they can push them out of the way, but literally ramming them should not be done. Which is what I’ve been saying the entire time. A fire engine has the ability to push these cars from idle with zero effort and would be less likely to damage the batteries. But that’s not what the OP of this thread was saying, they said they’d like to go demolition derby, which would be to hit these things at speed.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 3 weeks ago:
Are they really underrated? Not throwing any shade, but every time I see them mentioned it’s because people are praising the hell out of them. I also agree that there’s very few games they’ve had their hands on that has been less than stellar, so I have a hard time saying they’re actually underrated. They’ve been pretty steadily a mark of excellence.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 weeks ago:
Afaik, no they haven’t. Everything I’ve seen said they’re on lithium.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 weeks ago:
Lol this is a “can/should” argument here. Just because they CAN ram the car doesn’t mean they should. Crushing damage to batteries in EVs can be insanely costly. I wasn’t exaggerating by the 10x-30x needed water for extinguishing an EV vs ICE.

K.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 3 weeks ago:
No, objectively right. You can quantify the overall appeal very easily. It was the top user-rated game on MetaCritic EVER, had critical acclaim, obviously won many awards despite this AI debacle in the IGAs, sold over 5 million copies already even though it was on GamePass, and has maintained a fan gathering all these many months later even before they won at the TGAs.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, “push” rather than ram. Lithium fires take 10-30x more water than a conventional fire, something that firefighters are wary of containing.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 3 weeks ago:
- The soundtrack is just pure art. There’s more variety in this than most games, across many genres, and is over 8 hours long in total. Lorien Testard is a genius and we need more of his work in gaming beyond this game and even beyond Sandfall. Also Alice Duport-Percier (the female vocalist) has true perfect pitch, is an opera singer, and has beautiful diction despite my not knowing French.
- The story is very fresh, unpredictable (though I’ve seen people take wild stabs at it while playing and getting somewhat close but still missing), and isn’t written in the cliche ways that we’re used to because the lead writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, has never worked in the gaming industry, nor ever published a piece of writing before. She writes primarily for her own entertainment and as an outlet, and is brilliant in her own right outside of writing. Also her work in writing believable dialog made things feel more authentic, especially when characters argue. It just flows well.
- The voice acting is top-notch. The fact Kepler was able to throw money at this game specifically for the voice cast because they believed in it, says a lot. Sandfall didn’t ask for this money, but Kepler knew they had to help out however they could.
- The gameplay is what I’m guessing is what you dislike the most, as that’s normally what those who don’t like it talk about. Very subjective, but for those of us who love turned-based games or who are into tight combat found in Souls-likes (I’m in the former, but now looking at the latter), it keeps people engaged. I’ve played thousands and thousands of hours playing turn-based games, but this one doesn’t just let you passively fight until you’ve made significant progress and learn the timings. The countering feels powerful, and if you really want you can completely break the balance if you want and are creative in your setup. And now that they added the ability to make things more difficult, even the pros have a challenge to come back to.
I’m not trying to pressure you into giving it another shot, but those 4 things are enough to land this game into my top 3 all-time games.

Lol you made your account 1h ago to just ragebait? Nicely done.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 3 weeks ago:
Their use of AI to make placeholder assets (which aren’t in the released game) is why it felt off? While it’s not for everyone, it’s still objectively one of the best games released recently.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 weeks ago:
They’d probably love to, but wouldn’t. Lithium fires could make a bigger problem than slowly going around them.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
Yeah despite it being one of my favorite games (not just of this year), full disclosure is important. Losing that award doesn’t make the game any worse or take away my enjoyment of it.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 4 weeks ago:
Yeah the web site vulnerability is likely no good for you, it was patched quite a while back, but methods like dejavuln are very easy to use, just need a USB drive and run the fake mp3 in the LG media player app.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 4 weeks ago:
Yeah you won’t get any new features from this, it’s just something to hold onto in case you have a need to upgrade the firmware in the future. It’s the same website, but now they’ve expanded it to show other methods unlike what they had a few years back.
dejavuln is actually pretty interesting, plays a fake mp3 that’s actually a script talking advantage of a buffer overflow (I think) in the LG media player app.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that method doesn’t work on newer firmware, but luckily there are newer methods (like dejavuln), and they keep things up to date on available methods and possible versions at cani.rootmy.tv
