- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 20 hours ago:
Also especially if you have a big family or friends go to the restaurant supply store. Last summer they had 50lbs bags of potatoes for $10. Lots of produce like that for cheap in bulk.

Hmm like I get you should brush your teeth but, why would you brush your teeth before you eat in the morning?
- Comment on Scientists build artificial neurons that work like real ones 2 weeks ago:
Maybe. If you’re talking about the invasive forms of BCI (ie not EEG) then it could be better. Biocompatibility is difficult, the article doesn’t go super in depth, but assuming they don’t get attacked by the immune system then maybe. But you still have to implant them by opening up the skull so there is that.

Ahh I remember this game I played it all night on election night calmly telling my partner that Harris was going to win until she didn’t.
- Comment on The non-profit helping people from all over the world to become successful game developers 2 weeks ago:
Friendly reminder that not everything needs to be funneled through the lens of the geopolitical, capitalist, and technological quagmire of our times. People need things to live for, to dream for, to imagine. Even people who are fighting everyday for a better world need some time doing recreation. If it is the requirement of utopia to give up on frivolous yet joyful endeavors then what do you strive for?

So I don’t doubt their motives— but was there a specific thing that they said about locking hardware?
- Comment on Qualcomm to Acquire Arduino—Accelerating Developers’ Access to its Leading Edge Computing and AI 3 weeks ago:
Blarg I don’t know if corporations know what a teacher, student, or hobby is.
students, educators, and hobbyists will be empowered to rapidly prototype and test new solutions, with a clear path to commercialization
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:
You might have a fair point but who the fuck in the US pronounces it “Bahb”.
Lmao I don’t know why I find it funny.
Just said “hi bahb” to my grandfather bob and he told me he was going to disinherit me. But I digress I don’t know the phonetic symbols either.
- Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now 4 weeks ago:
I totally agree— in Colorado where I’m from most HS students can take community college classes for free— which is a start, and perhaps more palatable to the average boomer than — “free college” even if it’s sorta the same thing with extra restrictions.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
I mean they could always use VMs or docker vs locking the actual base level OS
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 month ago:
Dude take a chill pill. Reverting to ad hominem is not very useful. Even if you, as I presume, are an ardent communist, you can understand that it’s no wonder that a former KGB agent is the dictator of Russia. Power in one form, even if it is corrupted from your idealist view of it, can very easily migrate to power in another form.
I think it’s a fair statement to say that those arguing that he could be a “Soviet” asset are meaning that he started as one, not that there is a super secret Soviet shadow government continuing 40 years post collapse.
But either way, why call your fellow human worthless? Shouldn’t, even if you view them as ignorant, your goal to be to raise them up? Talking things out is how we find truth. I think generally the ideals of communism, not talking of its implementation, represent a good amount of empathy at the macro level; so why not keep that empathy that you have for the micro level.
I hope you have a good day.

Not to mention it was a rag tag game dev studio who through that hype had their dream come true, did they’re best to deliver it, and have continued to work on it for over a decade now. People are human; and they’ve more than shown it wasn’t ever intended as a grift.

The electrical college is truly a shocking way to run a country in the 21st century.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 2 months ago:
I like the idea of it; yet you can’t host private repos. I don’t want to be locked in to GitHub but as someone starting their career it’s important to show that you’re working on stuff. Hence I worry that moving away from GitHub will negatively impact my interviewing prospects.

- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 3 months ago:
Depends on how much grease you have— always stored bacon grease in glass jars to use later for greasing pans and given bacony flavor. Secondly, grease pours easily and is liquid when hot, but because it’s hot you can’t pour it into the trash, or wipe it clean with paper towels as mentioned. You have to let it cool which means it becomes more of a mess.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 3 months ago:
I got a $50 GameStop gift card in 2015 as part of some hackathon I went to— which was cool since as a kid didn’t have a credit card or anything; and bought the steam controller with it, would play CS:GO with it between class. Still my favorite controller and one of the only ones that lets you change the turn on sound too.

I have an i7-2600 prebuilt for my NAS— is idle most of the time, bought it for $100 4 years ago. Have pretty cheap internet at like $0.12 per KWh, but again mostly idle so probably doesn’t cost much anyway.

- Comment on It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books. 3 months ago:
The problem with this is that if presumably the government had such power it wouldn’t just be used to silence hateful voices but also those who proclaim liberty and tolerance. The pendulum can only be given so much power when it swings both ways.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 3 months ago:
Successful protests have clear policy objectives; also work from home and the lack of large factories that can be shut down by walk outs means that the collective bargaining is slightly weaker in places like USA.

People make connections with objects, same reason why people start hating certain art pieces when they’re told they were made by hitler. It’s perfectly normal— also good for the environment.

One side doing bad things doesn’t make another side doing bad things ok. Democracy isn’t perfect but it is better than the rest of the systems. Money in politics sours the pot.

Ok this is interesting can I ask how you know that they scaled back their compute? Without looking into it too much it seemed like they were full steam ahead (revamping three mile island).
