• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whales are the mightiest of fish⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What if the caped guy actually named a mighty fish instead of siding with one of two wrong answers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guerrilla Women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely met my share of nuclear Karens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea where to post this rule⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you earn an iron urn?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Qualcomm accuses Arm of anticompetitive conduct as its license is terminated due to 'repeated material breaches of Arm's license agreement'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MediaTek 9400 fits within 10% of Snapdragon 8 Elite, so if you don’t intend to load a custom ROM, I’d say there are options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how you’re totally ignoring 8 existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft has a Windows 11 problem. Staying on Windows 10 is a symptom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Altman is definitely a tech bro. Nadella is, I’d say, also one, although I’m getting a bit of “How do you do, fellow kids” vibe from him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  *ouroBROs 🤑

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy is an absolute lunatic.

  “Gimme all of the world’s money several times over for this fancy T9 that I’m playing with.”

  If someone wrote a cartoon villain using his quotes, it would be dismissed as unbelievable and rubbish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which do you like better: Windows or Ubuntu?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Easily Ubuntu. Despite its general wonkiness and kind of a shit attitude towards upstreams, at least they’re not shoving mandatory tracking into all of your orifices, and aren’t integrating AI into everything because fuck you, you’ll like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D printed 'suicide pod' used by a human for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kind of a big deal if you can’t legally do this (and as it happens, you can’t where they did it) by implying you can circumvent the law this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI to remove non-profit control and give Sam Altman equity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, never thought of that that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla faces a privacy complaint over Firefox's tracking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like it’s not been rolling out features and opting people in without telling them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨go lower⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hit that several times a day. Defo would not recommend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personally I prefer NASA's pronunciation, which is "charon".⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The correct pronunciation is Chacarron. Rhymes with Macarron.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨jealousy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rh, I deal with a few British people on a daily basis. Still relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨jealousy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My teeth emphatically didn’t look like that at 21. More like someone used a shotgun to implant them to my mouth. I could be from Britain for all I care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually starve themselves to play games like World of Warcraft?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This could be any game, and anyway, does this sub get so much traffic it’s a problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American Sex Education⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Leviosaaaaaaa

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically Correct⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why you want a national health care program funded by taxes (they call it health insurance, but it’s mandatory and based on income, so it’s a tax, really). Private insurance is still allowed, but everyone gets a baseline.

  Sure, this system has got its share of problems, and they’re massive, but if you need care, you generally receive it regardless of your financial situation. Again, bureaucracy happens and there are waiting times etc. etc., but the idea that you may lose everything because you got sick is so alien to me I have no words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically Correct⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It shouldn’t exist? I’d like to see you pay for your medical expenses out of pocket.

  P. S. No, I am not American.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to last-gen consoles next month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, now someone do a mere mortal take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good game soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That nobody mentioned Transport Tycoon Deluxe is criminal. I recommend the live-action version recorded for the mobile release: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuJy9oCdUns

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to talk about the PM of the UK.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who am I to judge?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mildred⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, because we’re doing modifier + colour here. Mild + red?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Benny 😍😍😍⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they know that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mildred⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn right. If I transitioned, I wouldn’t take a lame name like Mildred. I’d go for something cool like Radicalorange or Forcefulblue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to lose weight?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Botanically, yes. From a culinary perspective, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman Inspirational Quotes⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hundred and eight what?

  Hundred and eight speed.
