  I mean sure, but I’ve been stuck at lights that long too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The current answer is that it is very difficult to determine if something was AI generated at scale, and if someone puts some effort in its effectively impossible currently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember those are just the ones you hear about. Plenty happen and are never talked about by either side for obvious reasons.

  Really? I’m on a Linux desktop and I had not noticed. Though I steam from Netflix on it very very rarely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The back blaze stats were always useless because they would tell you what failed long after that run of drives was available.

  There are only 3 manufactures at this point so just buy one or two of each color and call it a day. ZFS in raid z2 is good enough for most things at this point.

  It isn’t as much as you think, high resolution, high bitrate video files are pretty large.

  China would never let that happen, it would end up being a China US proxy war… Which it always was

  Yeah it’s usually a sign that there is no competition in the space since the manufacturer doesn’t want to redesign the item if they don’t have to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I preface this with the caveat that all grants are subjective and you can like what you like.

  Stardew Valley is a love letter to the harvest Moon games(and I guess rune factory as well). If you have ever encountered those games you immediately know what to do in Stardew.

  I think where Stardew is different is that it came later and benefited massively from the “cozy game” popularity.

  While I played harvest Moon on a super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Gameboy my girl friend who did not have that exposure growing up loves Stardew. This generational and gender Crossing game has tapped markets that were not available back then. Couple that with the fact that at this point you can play that game on basically any platform from phone to console, new and old and it’s totally understandable why this headline might be true.

  According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is

  obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.

  Gifts I assume are property here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any male dominated channel that ever “gives advice” gets shunted into that pipeline by algo pretty consistently.

  I like stand up comedy and it’s a full time job keeping Rogan out of my suggestions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You joke but my dehumidifier has an automatic comfort mode of some sort.

  I guarantee that next run will have that button with screen print AI something something above it instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How streaming changed the way you watch TV⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that was exactly my thought.

  I don’t miss commercials at all (and am annoyed they appear to be creeping back) but I do miss the mono culture quite a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does have that, but don’t for a minute think they actually control chromium. If Google wanted to they could make life very difficult for brave.

  Currently brave still has support for manifest v2 but that will eventually be removed and the more brave diverges from the upstream the more work is required to keep it going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aging is fun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just need to hydrate a bunch. I drink Gatorade or a ton of water after any alcohol. Obviously if you go out and drink a 12 pack that won’t help you but 3 beers in a night should definitely not leave you feeling like crap the next morning.

  Actually even if you don’t drink you should stay hydrated.

  The average person doesn’t even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you’re can still torrent on your phone but I’ve not tried it.

  So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.

  The hacker community it’s very focused on Linux since most servers in the world run it. The fly by night script kiddies and botnet creators definitely prefer end user systems though.

  You can still mangle a Robbie of you have the wrong size but you do have to work at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The disagree is for soft walking things. They give you the choice so people feel like they have one and don’t complain, then in the future they will continue to ask everything anything changes and if you accidentally agree they will never ask you again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but it is sorta a treating the symptom and not the disease. Blackrock is right to sue them as a shareholder but companies should not be involved in people’s health care to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as people harp on blackrock and vanguard they hold a ton of people’s retirement funds.

  This is a vicious thing to do of course but they are protecting a lot of people’s nest egg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won’t be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it’s likely impossible.

  Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won’t because they are already a velban good.

  This says less about toddlers than it does about what Apple knows the public requires to use a computer.

  As much as people complain about electron (some valid, some not) Linux has benefited quite a bit to the cross platform availability of local applications.
