- Comment on NPM Package With 56K Downloads Caught Stealing WhatsApp Messages 1 hour ago:
There are thousands and thousands of library packaged to support software releases
there are over 3.1 million packages available in the main public npm registry…
- Comment on NPM Package With 56K Downloads Caught Stealing WhatsApp Messages 1 day ago:
noone wants to do because developers want the latest and greatest model.
That’s not true at all, the OS doesn’t have, and shouldn’t have, everything that a package has…
The alternative isn’t for the OS to do it: its to implement everything yourself… Speaking previous from experience working at a company that did exactly that… It has its own set of problems… But it is at least secure 😅
- Comment on G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you 1 day ago:
Silver lining: maybe it could be used to make some games more accessible for people with disabilities

The ones that used to own tik tok
- Comment on Lebron James is popping up in Chinese videos shouting "What can I say?" - Is this a Chinese meme? 1 week ago:
Seems like an example of childlore, which describes a specific species of meme that only propagates among children.
- Comment on Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah true, it would’ve been 576i in NZ, so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice as much image quality difference between VHS and DVD(aside from the noise when VHS tapes get old)
- Comment on Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? 1 week ago:
IIRC most TVs only supported 480i until DVDs came out
- Comment on If your federal government cut internet access to your whole town then where in your town would you think that "the people" would get together to protest ? 2 weeks ago:
In that case you protest from home with your sniper rifle 😂 (j/k)
- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 2 weeks ago:
Therefore, the cure for fast food addiction is recreational drugs and alcohol!
- Comment on Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? 2 weeks ago:
Porn is probably a correlation with those other factors…
Also that quality was the only differentiation in the age of 480p seems a bit crazy to then try to get a licence fee out of it. I barely cared about the quality difference between VHS and DVD when it first came out until I got a better TV where I could actually see the difference, and I imagine the difference with beta max would be even smaller than that 😅
- Comment on Wreckreation maker Three Fields Entertainment puts whole studio on redundancy notice 2 weeks ago:
Seems like they didn’t spend enough on marketing… As a fan of the Burnout games I never heard of it until now either…
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 3 weeks ago:
Post Processing - Low usually does the trick 😅
But then it sometimes turns ambient occlusion off too… 😞
- Comment on Why do I always have "dreams" that give me anxiety (aka: nightmares)? Why do I never just get to re-live my happy memories in my dreams? Wtf brain?!? This is outrageous! It's unfair! 4 weeks ago:

Also your shoulder.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s an old UK only model of ford that they stopped making in 1982
- Comment on Vintage 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards may inevitably fail due to pyroelectric capacitors — retrocomputing channel investigates [Bits and Bolts] and recommends preventive maintenance 4 weeks ago:
Voodoo2 12mb was released at $299 USD, thats about $594.29 today, so would only be like $1200 for SLI, not bad 😅
Although this review from the time says SLI only gave around 1fps more in a quake 2 benchmark: www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1998?amount=29…
- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 5 weeks ago:
probably caused by some small amount of light getting through your eyelids , or random noise in your nerves

- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 5 weeks ago:
Probably double check with your doctor before drinking alcohol if you’re not allowed to take other drugs, as alcohol is also a drug.
I’d recommend soup and other hot drinks like tea or hot water with honey and lemon.
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 5 weeks ago:
Oh ok, I dunno what it would smell like, I’ve not tried it 😅
Just been warned about mixing bleach with other cleaners so I generally just use it by itself to be safe.
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 5 weeks ago:
Just make sure the soap you use in the soapy water isn’t dish soap as that could make toxic fumes if it reacts with the bleach .
- Comment on why is radical acceptance not being a spineless conformist? 1 month ago:
That said, I’m not sure if radical acceptance is the correct response to rising facism… 🤷
- Comment on why is radical acceptance not being a spineless conformist? 1 month ago:
To add to that, a spineless conformist probably lacks “the wisdom to know the difference”. If a spineless conformist was an alcoholic, they’d continue drinking alcohol because that’s what everyone else is doing at the party they have to go to.
- Comment on Aeroplane 1 month ago:
they should add a big red emergency button behind the pilot seat that allows air traffic control to set it remotely
- Comment on whoopsie 1 month ago:
If it’s too expensive for the average person to buy it might as well be extinct as far as they’re concerned 😅
- Comment on whoopsie 1 month ago:
yeah it’s not as severe as the meme says, but I think it’s a tad more severe than you’re making it sound 😅
Climate change is affecting growing conditions across the globe. Natural climate variability may exacerbate the impact of increasing temperature and shifting precipitation patterns, leading to large interannual variations in yields, potentially resulting in revenue loss.
large variations in yields for the average person effectively means it’ll get way more expensive to buy, as farmers who can’t afford a bad yield will go bankrupt when they have one and will have to sell thier farms, and others will switch to a more stable crop reducing supply…
