- Comment on The difference is real 3 days ago:
You just assumed I’m a centrist because I expect politicians to be respectful of each other? Holy shit dude there is something wrong with your moral compass. Respecting people and disagreeing with them are not mutually exclusive.
- Comment on The difference is real 3 days ago:
What Obama said was not entirely true to Robert’s personality and actions, but that is beside the point.
The point is that some people have decorum and are good speakers. Some people, even if they don’t mean it, are respectful of the dead, even if they don’t deserve it.
And some manchildren have none of that. The day that man baby dies I probably won’t have any decorum either.
- Comment on Is there a way I can "hide" money with a program like paypal or something legit? I was planning on getting my family all jerseys on their birthdays. But didn't want to show a huge cash withdraw to do 3 days ago:
I would argue not to hide finances like that, especially if it is a joint account or somebody else’s money. Be transparent with them - “I am withdrawing X amount for a present for you. I hope you look forward to it.” Presents are not about the surprise but receiving something that somebody you really care about put a lot of thought into.

I did not have to do that with my domain.

Cheaper, takes up less space, and isn’t consumable, but worse because…uh…
- Comment on [TheGamer] Indie Dev Reveals Awful Returns After Paid Appearance In Mix Showcase 1 week ago:
There is a strange implication from the article that being in the showcase is going to guarantee wishlists and purchases. People might have simply not liked what they saw. It sounds like the dev that spoke out had a head on their shoulders and didn’t throw blame around. I respect that a lot and hope their game gets some good sales.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 1 week ago:
Just one of many reasons I haven’t bought a TV or watched TV in over 15 years. If there is a series I want to watch I will either get the blurays or put on my fancy hat and pull out the rum.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
Lest we forget, Unity tried to do just that and walked back due to backlash.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
No flak. I was gonna post the same thing. Women deserve to feel safe too.
- Comment on In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked? 4 weeks ago:
The more important question is why 50% of the population don’t care about politics or think not voting means they have the moral high ground.
Many Americans are looking for unicorn politics and the rest of us suffer because of it.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 5 weeks ago:
And then you have companies like Google who are going all in on adblocking because that is their entire revenue stream.
- Comment on CachyOS founder explains why they didn't join the new Open Gaming Collective (OGC) 1 month ago:
It would be stupid to ignore the negatives just to chase a perceived positive. The guy made a lot of valid points for not wanting to join. Once the collective has proven it can do what it set out to do without the downsides then maybe they will reevaluate joining.
- Comment on Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' 1 month ago:
Unlike something that is made to solve a problem, AI is a poor solution looking for problems. It will never be useful unless there is a problem it actually solves, and the problems it does solve are all anti-worker and pro-capitalist. AI does not make anyone’s lives better.
- Comment on Does the first-born child in a family "mature" faster than the later-born children? 1 month ago:
My incredibly naive view on this is that with the first born the parents are full of energy and try their best to discipline (assuming the parents are not already dysfunctional human beings). When the next children come along they get progressively more tired and lax, or straight up angry and impatient. The younger kids then pick up these undesirable traits from their parents.
On the other end of the spectrum we have oldest siblings with some behavioral issues and the younger ones are like “nope, not gonna become like that myself”. I don’t feel like this group has the same controls as the other group from a study perspective.
Parents who maintain discipline with their kids through multiple kids are pretty rare and they are the unsung heroes of a civilization.
I have no sources on this except that it is this way in my family and the families of my parents friends.
- Comment on Do you think all monopolies should be split into different companies, and then given to the workers who would collectivize them? 2 months ago:
No. Monopolies that are monopolies because they offer a superior product that others don’t offer absolutely deserve their success. Monopolies that are monopolies because they hold others back absolutely should be broken up. The difference is in why they are a monopoly.
There are certain nuances when a company is too big to compete with - things like YouTube where video hosting is hella expensive. That is a grey area that I do not have an educated opinion on.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 2 months ago:
Video streaming bitrates is the one that most affects my day to day. You could stream 1080p for free back in the day. I also believe the ability to post server emotes in other servers is also something that was locked behind the introduction of Nitro, but I can’t confirm since at that time I was only in a single channel.
With this said, Discord needs to make money somehow, but crippling your own platform isn’t the way.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 2 months ago:
Added undismissible gamification features nobody asked for, hiding more and more features behind boosts, and constant breaking of their mobile app.
- Comment on The most durable tech is boring, old, and everywhere 2 months ago:
This is one of the reasons COBOL programmers get paid extremely well. Nobody is learning it anymore and these people are critical if an issue occurs.

- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 4 months ago:
Which is perfectly fine. Not everybody needs to search for things day to day. There are some professions where search is important; law and software are two which are more relevant to me. Getting accurate, non hallucinating results is really important.
- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 4 months ago:
"Developers were kind of stuck between the equation of ‘Do I want to do a bunch of work to port my game? But there’s not an audience for it that justifies this work yet.’ So it was a little bit of a bootstrapping problem.
While Proton is an amazing technology I think it will also be a crutch and an excuse to not make native ports. Proton brought gaming to Linux, but it will also hold games on Linux back for decades.
