  thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

  Where are you that hasn’t seen massive inflation since COVID?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best game ever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard how great the Outer Wilds was, so when I saw The Outer Worlds on sale I thought “oh hey sure I’ll buy that for $15” and I was EXTREMELY confused at why people had said it was the best game you could only play once, because that game wasn’t even fun the first time. I later realized my mistake and got the real deal and oh my god I wish I could forget that game and play it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, AWS is ginormous and largely invisible. You can usually figure out when something’s in AWS if you can traceroute it, and sometimes by IP, but that requires knowing the IP of the server in question AND having the know-how to use and understand those tools’ output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OSHA is woke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It means in some states, such as California and Oregon, but likely others as well, workers comp is the sole relief for an injured worker. All injuries are considered no-fault and the injured worker has no right to go after their employer unless they can prove that their employer intended to do harm. The injured workers only gets the medical treatment and whatever disability payout workers comp tosses their way.

  So, if your supervisor is drinking at work and ignoring warnings about dangerous equipment and then you get hurt by that equipment, you cannot sue. If your supervisor wrote an email about how they didn’t fix some equipment so that it would hurt someone and you get hurt by that equipment, you might be able to sue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OSHA is woke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not so fun fact: depending on the state you live in, you may not be able to sue your employer if you are injured due to their negligence. If you work in an unsafe place you should document and report what you see to the relevant authorities and then find a new job

  I’m pretty sure singing a poem turns it into a song.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently bought a Mac Mini because music production on Linux had me fighting my tools more than using them. My Linux box is a 7800x3d/7800xtx. The Mini idles at 4w, while the 78000xtx alone idles closer to 50w. I use the mini for everything non-gaming now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom on a CAPTCHA is the most frustrating though admittedly raddest way to prove your humanity to an algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom on a CAPTCHA is the most frustrating though admittedly raddest way to prove your humanity to an algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

  The AI ecosystem is flooded, we need a good bubble pop to slow down the massive waste of resources that our current info-remix-based-on-what-you-will-likely-react-positively-to shit-tier AI represents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it’s a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.

  Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven’t used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

  Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.
