  Good news, the connection is about to stop buffering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FIFA should pay workers harmed in building World Cup venues, its committee report says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like the answer to that question depends highly on how much FIFA knew, when they knew it, and if/when they acted to make it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨not the mama!!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know that they don’t last forever but man, seeing latex props from pop culture from my childhood really sticks it how fucking old I’ve gotten.

  Don’t look up the TMNT ones, those are brutal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how did you master splits (for flexibility)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Use ropes to pull your legs apart while you lay on your back on a table.

  We’ve been waiting for so long that games don’t even remember Half-Life. It’s all “silksong copium” memes now lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are correct, but the way people reacted is certainly conditioning from the rug-pulling enshittification going on daily in the tech world. (What are we all using instead of redis, again?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a much more level take than your first comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t try anything. Stop inventing. Go read an actual article on the subject instead of feeding the scarebait frenzy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “I only read the headline and the comments from the threads a week ago, I am truly disappointed in Bitwarden’s stance against FOSS as I’ve misunderstood it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar panels between railway tracks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are “defect detectors” on railways to warn engineers when their train has a chain, air hose, etc dangling and dragging along the ground - which is a potential for accidents of many varieties.

  I guess now you can replace that with trains that automatically stop when the Katamari of dislodged solar panels eventually builds enough mass to force a car off the rails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocks largest recorded DDoS attack peaking at 3.8Tbps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many tablespoons of electrons 3.8Tb/sec over the time of the attack actually is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t keep archives of Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with and loved; will sue you for keeping copies of them.

  Definitely ok to being three mile island back online for AI though, that’s the ticket to a better humanity!

  For real why has everyone with any kind of money gone psycho? Have the bad guys started winning even harder?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same applies to recorded content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait until they go after livestreams

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media is becoming infested with climate change denial and misinformation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That effort to appeal is by boosting ragebait to get engagement and foster addiction to the platform, in order to sell more ads.

  Hence, morons get a bigger megaphone and groupthink takes over. See also the rise of Nazis/nationalism, etc.

  Line go up, corpo no care

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What letter has the best games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Darkest Dungeon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember how Comcast routers made that ghost mesh network?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a corporation were subject to normal human health risks, we would have a clean environment and trillions invested in fighting climate change.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah things will clear up just in time when their food runs out. Just wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone else ever seen an SSH key/fingerprint thing string together an actual word? Or how about a curse word? XD⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  RIP bash.org

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Families logo is clearly a Rorschach test, so what do you see?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Gaben, carrying a 3, and because it’s a Rorschach test, it’s been folded in half which gives it that “8” look.

  Soon, boys. Soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as the network exists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spray Paint Simulator looks like it will suck me in as badly as PowerWash Simulator did⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine being able to spray in this game, take your save, and open it in PowerWash simulator to clean it off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In America we’ve had several instances of undisclosed webcam monitoring of children via school issued devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Russia is Influencing US Citizens on Social Media. Russian Intelligence Document "Guerrilla Media Campaign in the US" [Translated] Page 5⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Manga is Japanese comic books; the “print version of anime” if you will. Lots of anime is based on manga.

  It doesn’t make any sense in the context of the document, though; which why I wonder if it was a mistaken translation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but if they go on mission and “go dark” then you still have this starlink thing that may or may not be disabled by the person smuggling it on board. It may also be connected to official things if the owner has bad intentions, or if someone else who does finds it and co-opts it.

  There is a lot that could go wrong with unauthorized radio transmission equipment on a warship, and not all of it is obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Russia is Influencing US Citizens on Social Media. Russian Intelligence Document "Guerrilla Media Campaign in the US" [Translated] Page 5⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mistranslation of “Maga”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be a fan of a law that requires local control through standardized hardware and software protocols for any devices sold.

  And no, I don’t think the standard needs to be codified into law, but I do think it should meet minimum requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Love replaying PixelJunk Monsters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved this game! A slower paced TD with a great art style.

  Also love the Shooter series from Pixeljunk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full open source and private camera monitoring system⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Zoneminder was cool when it was the only game in town, but didn’t it “save” videos as a folder of JPEGs of frame grabs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
