- Comment on Backblaze is slow for Nextcloud. Any recommendations for faster s3 compatible storage? 1 day ago:
I haven’t used nextcloud in years. Has it gotten any better with external storages, specifically when there are many files in one directory? It used to time out/become unresponsive in that situation, and make many unnecessary database requests/updates.

Others influence many things about my life. I don’t see it as policing if I’m trying to choose to bring more positivity to the table.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 days ago:
There’s a lot of negativity from certain users/communities on software/services that are mostly good but have imperfections. I rarely if ever see any recommendations for alternatives that actually make sense when this happens.
Firefox and Proton are two very common targets. Sure, they are both not perfect, but they are both offering a solution that does not enrich the current oppressive market leader and they do a pretty solid job at it.
Yes, flaws deserve to be criticized, but there’s such a thing as too much.
It’s tiring.

- Comment on Life Expectancy is the age at which 50% of the of the population is expected to die before. 2 weeks ago:
US public schools taught me that mean=average and the others were themselves, not that average describes any process to find a “normal” value. Just throwing that out there so people know why the conversation above happens so frequently.
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 2 weeks ago:
While the pressure on the credit card companies should still work due to conversations behind closed doors, my understanding is that those companies are not actually payment processors. Payment processors are a bunch of companies/banks, some you likely haven’t heard of (one is PayPal though, feel free to make your voice heard to them), and they are taking legal responsibility for the transactions themselves, and thus actually have incentive to police transactions. Credit card companies themselves, not having those legal liabilities, would much rather people just spent their money everywhere as long as there was low risk of cards being stolen or misused.
- Comment on Rumor: MMO Developer ZeniMax Online Studios May Have Closed Most Of Their Locations 4 weeks ago:
Sure! Here’s an MMO without many series-defining features that you can add in iteratively throughout the game’s lifespan to someday become a complete and compelling product! Then, you can shut it down and do it again!
- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 5 weeks ago:
Yes, many many hours. That game is also mostly positive, but the nasty players are hard to move on from haha. I still love the game overall.
- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been loving Rematch. This kind of team game reveals that, at least to some people, positivity and learning through mistakes will make a team stronger than negativity and shouting. Most of my games have been amazing, and the angry players seldom win. I always hit left dpad early on to get the ball rolling.

- Comment on Umamusume: Cinderella Gray • Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray - Episode 13 discussion 1 month ago:
I’m playing without having done any rerolling. I’ve won a run with only a couple horses, but I think the challenge is fun and if I really want a certain support, I can just borrow it. I really don’t think going in with a “win all the time” mindset is good for this game, maybe just do a daily/weekly run and progress over time as you get a better gene pool to select from. No real reason to sink a bunch of time in if you dont want to or can’t.
- Comment on I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days 1 month ago:
(This is only tangentially related, sorry for the notification. I just want to complain. I hope you understand)
I bought a used, old HP laptop with a fairly capable AMD apu for some power and cost efficient gaming. Problem is that even though modern games can theoretically run on it at playable frame rates at very low settings, HP does not allow you to change how much RAM is dedicated to the GPU in BIOS. They have a setting, but its locked behind a BIOS only they have access to. Its quite frustrating that I have capable hardware but cannot use it to its full extent because of this software lockout. Knowing that they lock their consumer BIOS’ down like this is absolutely keeping me from buying HP basically ever again, because I really want to make the most of my hardware and keep it all alive as long as possible to reduce waste, and they won’t let me.

Never is a strong word. Element has made a lot of progress and I can see the potential in it to compete with some of these platforms.
But no, it’s not there yet.

One minute for you and me, but that sort of thing just isn’t feasible for many even if they have someone walking them through it over the phone.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 4 months ago:
As someone very excited for this watch, the battery life with an always on display is more important to me than a sp02 sensor (Btw it will do sleep tracking). That and the button navigation are the killer features. The watch shows me what I need to know when I need to know it, always has the time on, and I can navigate it and control media playback without having to look at it (since buttons are consistent). I want a smart watch to be a good watch first then being smart is the second priority, and the pebble is the only watch I’ve ever had that gets those priorities right for me. Every other smart watch I’ve used sacrifices something I value to fit more features that I dont value as much. The pebbles have just gotten it right for me.
That said, the watch also isn’t for everyone, and a lot of people are OK charging their watch every day if it means they also get every feature they want.
- Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension 5 months ago:
While I love 8bitdo, unfortunately I just dont find the Ultimate to be comfortable to use, and that will be the same with the sequel. I do, however, absolutely love my Pro 2. Its shaped like a SNES controller with handles and it is somehow the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used. it is the only controller with both analog sticks low that I find comfortable and yet it is more comfortable than all x-box styled controllers I’ve used. If they made a new version of that with 2.4ghz, TMR sticks, and updated all of their controllers to actually provide every function available in d-input mode at once for better customization, then it would be the perfect controller for me.
I did recently get the gamesir cyclone 2, and that is also an incredible controller. All it is missing feature-wise is that fully featured d-input mode, and an easy Bluetooth mode switch like the pro 2 has. The analog sticks are outstanding on it, but unfortunately the dpad just can’t compete with 8bitdo. Again though, the cyclone 2 and pro 2 are overall incredible controllers for different reasons.

I love this game. Also the title does indeed have the dpublequotes around it, which no other title does. Last update fixed a lot of things and generally made the game nicer to play.
