Way to get him killed, with all that talking. Unless you’re some kinda servant of chaos or something.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome! Stopping (AI)crawlbots 5 days ago:
See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.
- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 5 days ago:
There’s been a multiyear crusade to oust .ml from the Fediverse with demands that the developers relinquish their instance servers to a third party and/or stop developing Lemmy altogether. That’s not an irrelevant context here given it is usually the same routine players.

Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 6 days ago:
A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.
Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 6 days ago:
I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)
Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.
Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 1 week ago:
Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”
Aand resume.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 1 week ago:
‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.
Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 1 week ago:
That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.
- Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there? 3 weeks ago:
There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.

Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 3 weeks ago:
I guess Nexon wasn’t happy with $6 million because the court found Dark & Darker wasn’t copyright infringement, but was an infringement of ‘trade secrets’.
If I remember 2023 correctly, Nexon decided to cut the game at the end of development and dumpster their work. So the devs left and finished the game on their own. Since Nexon never actually made/finished/released the game they couldn’t claim copyright.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 3 weeks ago:
distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 3 weeks ago:
If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

We do a lil’ innvoation in the private sector here.
- Comment on Does Super Metroid get any better? 4 weeks ago:
Super Metroid is the first game I really explored breaking the mechanics and routing of progress. Perfectly timed bomb jumps, wall jumps, etc to access areas early and such. I always found that to be neat.
More recently though, Super Metroid was one of the first randomizers and an early popular speedrunning game.
I think that’d why it’s maintained a level of popularity not easily seen from the game itself.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 4 weeks ago:
Fallout Tactics remains my favorite Fallout.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 4 weeks ago:
There’s a hilariously drawn out postgame/endgame challenge dungeon type thing that’s like 100+ straight battles.
But the main game is solidly worth the full price, quite honestly. Any sale you find is just helping your budget.
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 4 weeks ago:
Very plausibly what started as a FBI monitoring tool which no longer has any staff with knowledge of the program anymore.
- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 4 weeks ago:
Why can’t your workers be your workers, your family be your family, your friends be your friends?
- Comment on Only $50? 5 weeks ago:
Bladder sourced is what the study determined, with the fluid being normal urine or Skene’s gland secretion, but likely some combination.
Plausibly there could be pure glandular secretion squirt. Or urine. But likely a mix.

Moral ABCs never disappoint.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 5 weeks ago:
They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.
A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
Like, just remove votes entirely at that point.
A number of communities and instances disable downvoting which helps moderate the behavior altogether. Either people agree and upvote to promote, or they GTFO and/or feel ignored.
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
Well that was the church, not the conquistadors or the spanish crown and emperor. I believe the history went along the lines of some clergy felt the conquistadors were being a little too barbaric and unchristian, so they convinced the Spanish to debate it a few decades later and eventually convinced them to take a break for a few years.

Most things I recall are often a lottery system of subscribers submitting requests. I was an old subscriber but I started seeing a bit of an unsettling pattern and they got increasingly porny.
I don’t blame the artist one bit though. Get that money.
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
Narrator voice: the Spaniards did not, in fact, “love” brown women.
(It took about forty years after contact for the church to declare indigenous people as actually human with the ‘Sublimis Deus’ papal bull in 1537.)
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
Centurii-chan has really captured the market on gooners that celebrate these things. The artist does it all on commissions and the requests they recieve indicate their market is genuinely into that sort of thing.
