Oh yeah? And how am I supposed to dry them afterwards, smart guy? With handkerchiefs?!

And yet you’ve done a great job!
- Comment on New Steam Beta can run the Linux client inside a container with 64bit 6 days ago:
Do you even know what any of the words you’re using mean? It doesn’t matter whether the Steam client is running in the runtime, you still want the same containerization to run your games, because that’s how they make sure the games run everywhere.
You’re just angrily flinging shit around without understanding what any of this is about. Don’t you have anything better to do?
- Comment on New Steam Beta can run the Linux client inside a container with 64bit 6 days ago:
Why the fuck is it weird for a client to run inside a runtime environment with well-defined library versions, when that client has to ship that runtime environment anyways to ensure the games can actually run on a broad range of systems?
Oh, sure, it’s so much better if the client relies on system libraries instead. Yes please, I like incompatibilities and issues with debugging. So much better than loading a different set of libraries. Stupid Valve!

a very normal thing for your very functional software to have
What an incredibly weird complaint

What a fucking piece of shit.
I have to admit, every time a story like this comes out, it makes me distrust any other large company all the more. When this whole thing first started, I already expected the publisher to be lying. Looks like the pattern holds true!

No, you couldn’t.

Homomorphic Encryption is a well-known field of research in cryptography. Honestly, if you are capable of understanding the proofs, you don’t need them to be listed on Wikipedia.

I can’t imagine they’ll try to go past 5, but I hope the next one is the last.
Though I’m a bit biased - IMO the last episode of season 2 was a perfect ending, and I’m completely satisfied.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
Hm… yeah, I get that (not the part about Boardwalk Empire, haven’t seen that yet). Most people in BB are definitely miserable!
I liked BB a lot, especially on a second watch through many years later, but the main reason is probably just that I can understand why each character behaves the way they do - the writing is consistently “realistic” in a manner I haven’t really seen anywhere else with a comparable length.

The joke is that episode 30 “Fly” is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.

I don’t know what mistake, but you’re welcome! I was just making a reference to that legendary wine commercial - I can’t see a picture of him and not have “Aaaahh, the french” popping in my head.

- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 3 weeks ago:
Unlikely, browser vendors are very careful adding such APIs, and MS doesn’t have the pull Google does.
A simple fix is, of course, not to use Edge.

The browser version shouldn’t be able to access this info.

Surely it must be related to their ability to sense changes to water pressure to an incredible degree. Otherwise they could never keep a Sharknado stable for more than a few seconds.
- Comment on OP figures out love languages 3 weeks ago:
Most cats and dogs don’t hate their own species - they are social animals and naturally live in groups with their own species! But when you raise cats and dogs almost solely around humans, they don’t know how to behave around members of their own species, and so depending on their personalities they react in ways that seem to you like “hating their own species”.

The ones who find it “gross” are the worst.
“Finding it gross” in the sense of judging you, or if they think they themselves are gross if their pits smell? I dislike when I can smell myself, so I wouldn’t acquiesce (often), but I wouldn’t think that you are gross for liking it.

- Comment on Every 1 in ~200 dollars of wealth of the US population is owned by one person 4 weeks ago:
How about you give whatever number you think is the accurate one first?
GDP isn’t directly related to wealth, so it’s not relevant.

Total US wealth seems to be $150-160 trillion, so it checks out?

AFAIU you can’t determine whether the state on the other side has been collapsed. All you can say with certainty is the state on the other side after you have collapsed yours.

You know, I want to get into sandwiches, but I always feel like I throw away half the stuff because I don’t eat it quickly enough, or because I run out.
Any tips?

For half a year, my daily workout routine was ~half an hour of Beatsaber on Expert+, and then one run through the campaign of Pistol Whip (first one). I should get back into that…
