• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s still overpriced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just UI, but simplicity of operation. The closer to “it just works” a system/program is, the more palatable it is to adopt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes it’s nice to know where you even start, then verify from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking chatgpt can be super useful to get info. I just don’t understand why people don’t try to verify what it says before just re-posting like fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly solar panels and electric cars. I know those existed over 15 years ago, but they weren’t serious market options until like 5 or so years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Never figured it out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because instead they just outright deny the claim and pay nothing. It also works against them if people start to realize they can get cheaper care elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Guardian and the University of Cambridge Computer Science Department unveil new technology to protect journalists⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a red flag to those who think you’re going to share internal info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the issue is that AAA still hasn’t learned how to manage and produce passion projects, which most great games are. They keep wanting to use what’s working elsewhere with no regard for what makes sense in their own game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Joysticks still drifting is an embarrassment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels like there could/should be a good modern chat protocol and voice protocol and you just pick which interface you want to use, much like email currently does, except for chatrooms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, time and a sale it is, then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Infuriating. I can’t remember how many times I saw a thread of someone asking my version of a question that was then closed as duplicate linking to an older one that wasn’t the right version and therefore the fix was irrelevant or at least not best practice anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren’t worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They’re not worth $80 without the goodies. I’ll just wait for a sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn’t sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just keylogger. It’s a screenlogger too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wager the word “radio” also helps. Early 1900s would have had plenty of radio broadcasts being “the thing” going on, so that word probably helps prime the interpretation, even if not used in quite the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of explaining what you mean, you’re just going to casually suggest they read a roughly 500 page book and hope that clears it up for them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.
