- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 1 day ago:
Did this (Mon-Sat) together with a few friends and colleagues in my late 20s. We were regulars to the point of the cook always making something off menu more fitting for regular dinner, as well as no need to settle the bill every night. Once a month everything was tallied up.
Good times. Had to stop though since I found myself going through the fridge on a Sunday once looking for some alcohol.

Are you sure they were not just anti-germanic!?

This is what I've been waiting for as residential battery solution. Really nice to see it starting to take off.
- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 4 days ago:
Ah ok, yeah. I expect there to be SteamOS/Bazzite boxes you can just purchase.
- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 4 days ago:
I find SteamOS to be as un-complicated as any other modern console tbh.
- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 4 days ago:
Hate to agree but yeah. We're buying everything for Steam now since we put a Steambox (Bazzite) in the gaming room. The PS5s are now just legacy boxes.

"Scene don't work for free"
It's been ~35 years since I cracked games but we most certainly did everything "for free" back then (or, "for bragging rights" as it were).
I seriously doubt things are that much different now. I'd wager you're one step removed from "the scene" and only seeing shady repacks from scammers.

No they were right - but now it's the whole server so people can stand up their own.
- Comment on Loops is now part of the Fediverse! 1 week ago:
It launched without being decentralized and without federation. Might've been a mistake.
- Comment on Loops is now part of the Fediverse! 1 week ago:
I believe they have - announced a few weeks ago.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
It specifically talks about the value of crypto currency, which can be affected by any number of external events. I'm going to assume you're simply trolling now.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
No, that's not what it says.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
Not just "sometimes". The thing you're looking for is "jurisdiction". A country doesn't have jurisdiction in another.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
That's ... how it works.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
4chan isn't in the UK and has no reason to figure out what laws apply there.
When you made this post, did you first check which countries your post ended up in?
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
"allow"
Seems to me as if the people in the UK sign up with an american company.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
"Allows" - do they do anything specifically for the UK?
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
Isn't it people in the UK that go to a US company and do business there?

This is the third time I post this paper in this thread: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00207020241257635
There are plenty more. You spent more time writing your post than it takes to find them.
- Comment on Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services 2 weeks ago:
Primary sources tend to agree

Might it be that you're commenting based on what you want to be true?
- Comment on Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services 2 weeks ago:
Your article doesn't seem to mention Russia once.
Feel free to read any other article that does, if you somehow have managed to avoid learning about russian influence campaigns over the last decade.
- Comment on Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services 2 weeks ago:
Oh you think they just stopped? Did you bother to verify for yourself?
Over 2 million tweets from these accounts were collected from 24 February 2021 to 31 January 2023
Russian influence operations are weaponizing Canada's far right and the far left
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
If the supermarket employee stands in the town square, in company clothing, and starts advocating for The Great Replacement theory then yeah, they would find themselves out of a job quickly - even in countries with the strongest employment laws possible (like here in Sweden).
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
You didn't read the thread.
- Comment on Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, but this is wrong. They're also actively sponsoring "left wing" propaganda, to further saw discord. Depending on which group you yourself belong to, it's just easier to spot "the others".
- Comment on Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity 2 weeks ago:
This had always been a faulty line of thinking by those who claim that the less-developed world would start to use as many resources as the developed world already had.
Like, no. Why would the bury copperlines all over the place instead of just going mobile directly. Rinse and repeat for everything else - like using solar instead of coal.
- Comment on Steady 4 weeks ago:
Indeed. "Thanks" to be being a frequent flier in a global company I got Covid already in March 2020 and was constantly checking my oxy values. Never got below 91, but if they had hit 90 I was told to take an ambulance right away.
