I wonder what nuclear women decay into, also does their gender radiation change the gender of people around them?
- Comment on Even Microsoft Notepad is getting AI text editing now 1 month ago:
The one feature it actually needs that it’s missing is syntax highlighting
- Comment on Snapchat Reserves the Right to Use AI-Generated Images of Your Face in Ads 3 months ago:
I mean yeah it’s a stupid feature that they probably shouldn’t have, I just think the headline is super misleading since it implies they would use your face to advertise to to others which isn’t true.
- Comment on Snapchat Reserves the Right to Use AI-Generated Images of Your Face in Ads 3 months ago:
I mean, this is dumb, but it’s only ads specifically shown to you so it isn’t really a privacy issue. The headline seems like it’s intentionally trying to make it seem a lot worse than it is
- Comment on Florida hospitals ask immigrants about their legal status. Texas to try it next 3 months ago:
It’s got to take an amazingly un-empathetic person to even consider doing something like that that is obviously going to intentionally discourage people from getting medical care.
- Comment on Release v0.6.9 · AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy 3 months ago:
I really like it, the ai stuff can mostly just be ignored but the ai button on mobile is really big and annoying. My biggest issue with it is that there’s no way to download documents you made using a cloud account, but I think they’re planning on adding that
- Comment on Sonos CEO says the old app can’t be rereleased 4 months ago:
And this is why I don’t buy “smart” devices that are cloud dependent
- Comment on Scalpers Work With Hackers to Liberate Ticketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ Tickets 5 months ago:
A lot of venues require events to use ticketmaster so the artists often have no choice
- Comment on After 41 years Microsoft quietly adds spellchecking and autocorrect to Windows Notepad 5 months ago:
Have they added syntax highlighting yet? Every time I use it I’m amazed that it’s like the only text editor without syntax highlighting I know about
- Comment on Forza Horizon 4 will be delisted from sale this December, but thankfully remain playable 5 months ago:
Alternate headline: “Forza horizon 4 will see large uptick in piracy this december”
If people want your game why would you stop selling it, people are still going to want it and you just won’t get any money
- Comment on The 8-Bit Guy: How Cathode Ray Tubes Work [18:32] 6 months ago:
In the comments he kept responding to everyone being critical and being like “well it’s my computer so I can do anything I want to it”
- Comment on The 8-Bit Guy: How Cathode Ray Tubes Work [18:32] 6 months ago:
I forgot about that part, that whole “repair” was such a mess
- Comment on The 8-Bit Guy: How Cathode Ray Tubes Work [18:32] 6 months ago:
I think it was a security torx screw if I remember correctly so it makes sense he wouldn’t necessarily have an appropriate bit, but it would have been so little effort to just order one or go to a store
- Comment on The 8-Bit Guy: How Cathode Ray Tubes Work [18:32] 6 months ago:
I stopped watching when he got that one rare IBM workstation and sloppily dremeled in all the the screws to open it because he was too lazy to go to the store to buy a screwdriver. That was before I even heard about this and the stupid gun stuff. I know it’s like a minor thing and he only damaged screws and sheet metal parts that could in theory be replaced with a medium amount of difficulty, but I just can’t imagine intentionally damaging something very uncommon because you’re too lazy to buy a screwdriver
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 6 months ago:
I like how a big part of the headline just explains exactly why people pirate things instead of obtaining legal access to them. No one wants to subscribe to netflix, hulu, vudu, and prime video, people just want one platform to watch everything
- Comment on Every time I get an email about 7 months ago:
Hmm, what happens if there’s a power outage? Or is dark the default state and it needs power to be clear?
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 7 months ago:
This still runs Linux, or whatever else you want to run, it just has a RISC-V CPU instead of an x86 or ARM one
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 7 months ago:
It’s so weird how they’re just insisting it isn’t an android app even though people have proven it is. Who do they expect to believe them?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
How is this a shower thought, this is just a weirdly specific prediction
- Comment on One of my recent retro game moments 8 months ago:
That’s a commodore computer, their keyboards aren’t terrible but they’re kind of squishy and not the best

Why does the second one from the left look like putin
- Comment on GitLab confirms it’s removed Suyu, a fork of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu 9 months ago:
Yes, but those few are far more likely to stop because of this than pirates. It would be far harder to make pirates stop developing and using emulators than legitimate users because they aren’t worried about legal problems
- Comment on Qualcomm says most Windows games should “just work” on its unannounced Arm laptops 9 months ago:
Honestly I don’t even care about x86 software support that much for a laptop. The only reason I would want it is games and I rarely use my laptop for that. If I really needed some x86 thing I could always connect to my desktop remotely
- Comment on Qualcomm says most Windows games should “just work” on its unannounced Arm laptops 9 months ago:
Yeah this is pretty much my thoughts exactly. I wish there was an ARM (or eventually maybe even RISC-V) Framework laptop, maybe someday
- Comment on GitLab confirms it’s removed Suyu, a fork of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu 9 months ago:
Nintendo does realize this whole thing is only going to discourage legitimate users not pirates, right?
- Comment on Qualcomm says most Windows games should “just work” on its unannounced Arm laptops 9 months ago:
If linux support ends up being reasonable for these I’ll seriously look into one for my next laptop. I’m always so envious of how my friends with apple silicon macs can just never really worry about battery life.
- Comment on Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024 10 months ago:
Yah this is absolutely true, I bought a used oneplus 9 last year for $200 and it is so much better than anything new you can get for that price.

- Comment on $5 is a steal 10 months ago:
This could actually be very useful. For example if your controller is completely covered in some sort of industrial lubricant that tape won’t stick to, then you can pay this guy and he’ll have to clean it so he can tape it. Now you have a clean controllet
