Nobody is asking you yet.
🥱
Are you a 🤡 or a 🧌?
- Comment on EU antitrust chief to Tim Cook: Apple must allow third-party app stores 10 months ago:
I don’t think anyone would be forcing you to use a different app store.
This would just make the option available for those who want to.
- Comment on EU antitrust chief to Tim Cook: Apple must allow third-party app stores 10 months ago:
More nations should join the EU.
And NATO.
- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 10 months ago:
Changing a project to another game engine is a massive undertaking
That’s the price they pay for not doing things right the first time.
- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 10 months ago:
I get migrating a codebase is a motherfucker, and sometimes it is even easier to redevelop much or all of the project.
This is the price they pay for not doing things right the first time.
- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 10 months ago:
there are a lot of people who have put a lot of time and money and effort into learning Unity and it’s not exactly as easy as you think to just switch to an entirely new workflow.
Honestly, that’s the price they pay we pay for not doing things right the first time.
I’m not sure why people have convinced themselves that they can just ignore problems and they will go away. Software licensing is an issue that pervades all development. Ignoring it is asinine and will lead you to wasting time and money on bullshit.
- Comment on How Disney and Warner Bros. Are Causing Internet Piracy to Boom | Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ were supposed to do away with pirated media. Instead, they may make them stronger than ever. 10 months ago:
I never subscribed to streaming services.
I always used free streaming sites like fmovies or downloaded stuff I really liked.

Matrix is to discord as lemmy is to reddit.
The fediverse is the future.

OBS + Virtual Camera
In typical Linux fashion, you need to install additional bullshit to get basic functionality: obsproject.com/…/obs-virtual-cam-on-linux.134849/
In this case, it’s the ever-popular “v4l2loopback-dkms”. Should be available in your repositories.

Nah. What sucked was having to type in IP addresses just to talk on voice.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.
I see no issue here.
- Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying 10 months ago:
Eh, I think cookies should just be opt-in unless they’re absolutely necessary for the site to function.
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 10 months ago:
RIP.
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 10 months ago:
Probably not a very big market.
I would certainly never use anything more than a condom.
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 10 months ago:
As a man, I always laugh when I see other men excited about the prospect of becoming sterile.
- Comment on Star Citizen Introducing a $48,000 Ship Bundle, but Only for Players Who Have Already Spent $10,000 10 months ago:
Yeah, this is what I keep telling people but nobody wants to listen.
Once the snowball effect has taken hold, it’s next to impossible to reverse.
I fully expect us to see SC detractors to vanish into thin air like those who voted for George Bush Jr. once the game launches and everyone is playing it.
- Comment on Star Citizen Introducing a $48,000 Ship Bundle, but Only for Players Who Have Already Spent $10,000 10 months ago:
It’s not even comparable to Star Citizen, and I feel bad for anyone who gets suckered into believing otherwise.

This shouldn’t need to be said, but I caution everyone reading your comment to consider it may be wrong.
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
No, it’s pretty popular.
The gamecube controller is a pile of shit. There’s good reason why we don’t make them like that anymore.
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
My PS1 died before I got a PS2 :(
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
Man issue with most things is $$$.
No point in releasing the most advanced console if people can’t afford it or its features, ensuring no developers actually make games for it.
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
A lot of people don’t realize this, but the same thing applied at an even greater scale with PS3’s Blu-Ray player.
At the time, Blu-Ray players cost $1000 while the PS3 launched at $500 or $600. Sony was legit doing everyone a solid, and they got shat on for it.
It’s so sad how the xbox 360 won that gen, considering it was the more expensive console when you factor in paying for 2nd internet. Then it ended up normalizing the trend of 2nd internet, lol.
Needless to say, I stopped buying consoles at the PS4 era. Thank god emulation is great, PC hardware is cheap, and many console exclusives are getting PC releases anyways.
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
It’s a good thing we can emulate them easily with Dolphin and PCSX2.
- Comment on Nvidia teases RTX 40 Super series launch at CES — here's all of the leaked specs 10 months ago:
So hard to get excited over new processors when what we have is already so powerful.
I guess I’ll be excited by the 7000 series or so.

I wish I had sex as a kid, but porn was a nice substitute.

Parents have also proven that they are capable of managing it themselves.
Almost like ‘parents’ is not one person.

I see no reason not to include social media in the mix.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 10 months ago:
Biggest issue with reddit are the abusive mods with no oversight.
That place has become nothing but a propaganda mill for whoever is in charge.
- Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C 10 months ago:
The EU cares about consumer protection because most of the big companies in a position to fuck over customers are based in the US.
It’s why Americans don’t care about consumer protection.
