- Comment on Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily 3 days ago:
Wouldn’t that wipe my current data? Like, sure I can install Bazzite, but there’s more setup to be done once again, and if I dislike it then I’m going through the setup once more. I understand it’s not that hard all things considered, but it’s not necessarily easy to just go mucking around with it with limited free time.

I started with mint, but the more I see about Bazzite the more I wish I had started there. It just seems slightly more aligned to my needs.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 3 weeks ago:
Gonna have to do it forever until businesses figure out that half of what makes a game good is that it needs to be a literal passion/art project, and not just a checklist of shit that needs to get done.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:
I honestly feel like the “you’re trying to hard to pronounce the country/city/food name” vibe is silly anyways. If they pronounce it “Bærthélōnã” in Barcelona, then why shouldn’t I try to pronounce it that way? Especially these days in our hyper-connected world, I don’t really have an excuse of “well I never knew they said it that way”.

Or it’s brewing up excuses for declining sales.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
I’m so confused. Couldn’t you always pick what track you wanted to play?

Which ones are you running?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 5 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s not in the news anymore, but it’s definitely talked about. Businesses need to decide if they’re hosting on-prem or in the cloud, and if it’s cloud they’ll want to decide which provider, etc etc. It’s just become part of the system.
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 1 month ago:
I can think of a few ways to do that too
- Comment on GN's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to try to make up for the lost traction! 1 month ago:
Hell yeah! Make sure to download it for preservation reasons as well.

What does JetBrains do that makes it miles ahead?
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 month ago:
I love the idea, but until stuff simplifies significantly that’s simply not happening. I’m a moderately technical person and all the self hosting options are such a chore. Even simply looking up info about them can sometimes be harder than installing and starting the centralized option.
- Comment on Tesla FSD turns off more U.S. consumers than it attracts, survey finds 1 month ago:
it’s like every Tesla accident I hear about is FSD related.
I mean, that just kinda makes sense. Regular accidents aren’t really newsworthy. Even if they are, it tends not to be worth mentioning what manufacturer the car is.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 months ago:
Creating something that damages nearby electronics? Yeah, that’s probably not going to fly. It really doesn’t matter if it only damages things that actively film/photograph you. Like, it’d be illegal if I walked up and hammered every camera that photographed me too.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 2 months ago:
Thank you for being rational here. It drives me bonkers how many people try to act like Linux is “just as easy” as windows. Like, yeah, to some degree it’s getting used to the differences, but there are definitely considerations and complexities that you simply don’t have to worry about with a windows machine.
As a relatively recent convert, I can say it was easier than I was expecting, but it was not “just as easy” as installing windows. It took more time to set up all the extra bits I needed/wanted, and I’m still not fully set up the way I’d like to be.
- 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 2 months ago:
That’s still overpriced.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 months 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 months ago:
Nope. Never figured it out
- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 3 months 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 3 months 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” 4 months 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.

Joysticks still drifting is an embarrassment.
- Comment on matrix is cooked 4 months 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.

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 5 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" 5 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? 5 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.
