Exactly, the users/installation count of such products are clearly a much more accurate indicator of the success of their marketing team, rather than their user’s perceived value in such products lol
- Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike 3 weeks ago:
A drone can be shot down, a drone can malfunction and crash, a drone can be jammed or otherwise electronically interfered and crash, a drone can structurally fail due to quality control issues or previously unidentified damage from prior rough handling in a warzone and crash.
It’s a lot better if any of those happen to a eBike, than if it happens to a person who’s literally hanging below a drone flying at even just a hundred meters altitude.
Also a eBike can be folded into much more aerodynamics-friendly shape and size to maximize the drone’s range further, a human, not so much lol
- Comment on Itch.io has begun restoring NSFW content, but only if it’s free 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure Valve have folded as much as pretending to comply for now to stall for time to work on a more strategic countermeasure that will stay long into the future.
Maybe I’m coping but it’s the logical thing to do in the US where Valve is based, and Valve is one of the few US companies who are not always under time pressure because they are like one of the biggest companies who’s private and not publicly traded.
- Comment on Samsung’s One UI 8 might shut down bootloader unlocking on Galaxy phones 3 weeks ago:
Yuck indeed.
People tried many ways to get around it, back when I was still using an US variant Samsung Note 9, people went as far as using a leaked engineering/preproduction ROM, which can be flashed using Samsung’s official tool because it does have the correct key for the locked bootloader to accept, being built and compiled by Samsung, and because it’s an engineering ROM it would give you root and everything despite of the bootloader still being locked.
But it was only meant for preproduction for a reason, it is very VERY unstable and not exactly usable for a daily driver lol
So happy I am leaving all that BS from Samsung behind with my current Sony Xperia 1 VI which is bootloader-unlocked and rooted and deeply modded and truly my own device lol
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 3 weeks ago:
You are the only one here carrying on a grudge and being vocal about it.
Are you a big fan of FOSS? How much are you going to support FOSS developers today hmmm?
- Comment on Samsung’s One UI 8 might shut down bootloader unlocking on Galaxy phones 3 weeks ago:
Even the non-carrier variants in the US, misleadingly called “International variants” despite of being regional to the US, have locked bootloader.

He’s not obligated to provide support but there are infinitely many ways for decline providing support without insulting someone for being an Android user, and insulting Android users in general, at the same time, literally the moment when someone sought for support.
Especially when Discord is not even inherently a support platform to begin with, Discord is a fricking instant massaging platform, this is fundamentally no different from insulting a stranger on the street the moment they started a conversation, with the most BS insult ever.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 4 weeks ago:
So the answer is very clear, when laws/agreements/contracts/etc. no longer have an effect at all, usually authority becomes solely defined by force and force alone.
I fear it’s only a matter of time before a civil war breaks out.

There is an Xposed module to replace the tiles back to a simple on/off toggle, for both BT tile and WiFi tile.
You need to grab your control back lol

Well considering he chose to use a pyro-mechanical firearm, instead of things like social/political/legal/economical tools to accomplish his goal, seems to check out lol
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 2 months ago:
Regurgitating am impression of, not regurgitating verbatim, that’s the problem here.
Chess is 100% deterministic, so it falls flat.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 3 months ago:
At this point it’s pretty much only the competitive games with kernel level anti-cheat that don’t work on Linux because of their kernel level anti-cheat.
But then again, if 90% of the games you play are competitive games that require kernel level anti-cheat, you should probably consider expanding your gaming experience lol

Awwww darn as a fellow languages and linguistics enthusiast I feel your pain too XD
I found it helpful if some of the languages you focus on happens to be written in an entirely different writing system :p
- Comment on Denmark to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs 5 months ago:
That’s the whole point here, allowing or disallowing phones should be the discretion of teachers based on what class they are actually teaching, be it language classes where there’s no need for phones or STEM classes where a pocket general purpose computer has many good uses and offer particularly good opportunities to teach students how to make constructive uses of smartphones in practical real life situations.
And instead having this being outright a ban on the school level, like being proposed here, is exactly the single worst possible way to do this. Having it banned on school level but having arbitrary “exception” being allowed defeated the whole purpose and makes it practically no difference from the above, and also open up lots of loopholes for abuse. You also can’t just have a list of school or government level “officially approved exceptions” because it’s ultimately about a technology, and technology is always evolving way faster than bureaucracy.
- Comment on Denmark to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs 5 months ago:
Exactly, and banning mobile phones is one fantastic way to make sure schools can never provide classes that teach them about positive and healthy technology choices, and I meant a real class about that, not just a class for the sake of pretending to be a class filled with only hypotheticals

Same!!! Or niche fields of studies, although there’s a lot less serious ones of that kind lol
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 6 months ago:
I think what matters more, or perhaps at least in Valve’s perspective, is that microtransactions are inherently binding between the game’s developer/publisher and the player, so the game’s developer/publisher is the sole party held accountable here (by Valve), while ads inherently involve and invite a 3rd party advertiser, muddying the situation for everybody. While on the other hand, microtransactions can only be done for content already a part of the game, while ads serve content outside the scope of the game.
So this is much much more enforceable for Valve, while DLC and microtransactions marketing is already subject to the established rules on Steam.
- Comment on Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month 6 months ago:
I agree with your points, but what do you think are some of the specific things Google or other similar tech companies in such a similar capacity could realistically and meaningfully do object the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine?
I would like to learn more
- Comment on Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps 6 months ago:
Though to be fair cringe is like right in the very blood to Google anyway so what would you expect…
I mean, just look at how they often respond on their bug tracker platform of most of their products and how they try to justify their endless streams of questionable design decisions, that seems to be characteristic of them at this point lol
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 6 months ago:
So they are aware of how terrible ads are and they intentionally want to keep it this way, so that they can sell advertisers “better ads” for higher premium as a form of product and price diversification, with those “better” products they offer eventually end up being terrible and make the ads situation as a whole worse, so they can keep introducing new kinds of “better ads” product to have a “justified” way of asking even more money from advertisers?
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 6 months ago:
What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That’s really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that’s only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don’t exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too

- Comment on New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony 6 months ago:
Not to mention Valve spearheaded major development for making Linux gaming like 200% better than it used to be, with development of Proton and everything, and giving all those work back to the entire gaming community as open source products entirely for free, bring in momentum for an entire industry.
That’s a company you support.
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 6 months ago:
I’m sorry but if I’ve already paid $60 for a video game, I shouldn’t also be required to make a friend just to be able to experience the entirety of the content this game offers, in the manner it was originally intended to be experienced.

Is that supposed to be a British way of spelling “disaster”?
