- Comment on LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray players 5 weeks ago:
The best bit is that Blu-ray supports “online content” so they can update the forced intros and trailers to fresh ones!
- Comment on Subway lovers posted 5 weeks ago:
A footlong sub (not a meal) is around 13€ here.
I can get a full ass restaurant meal for that

- Comment on X rival Bluesky gains 1.25 million users following U.S. election 2 months ago:
Mastodon has protocol level issues that prevent it from being fully mainstream though.
As long as people move out of Twitter, I count it as a win. Especially when we get official government stuff out of there - which won’t happen for the US, but the rest of us have a chance
- Comment on X rival Bluesky gains 1.25 million users following U.S. election 2 months ago:
Twitter started dying when they closed the API
Bluesky’s is perfectly operational

- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
A Mac is not a Windows PC
The last time I turned off my Mac Mini was when we moved. The time before that was when my UPS battery died and I had to swap a new one in.
I do reboot it though, but why would I bother turning it off?
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 2 months ago:
The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.
On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.

- Comment on Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling 2 months ago:
But usually the retention departments have the most leeway to give you discounts 😀
Just call and threaten to cancel and suddenly you get 50% off for 6 months or something.
(Works very well with Audible, the further you go in the cancel flow on the website, the bigger discounts you get - you can repeat the “I quit” threat about once a year.)

People should be of legal age before officially joining a religion.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 2 months ago:
You’re acting like Wikipedia talk pages and especially news site comment sections are some bastions of discourse 😆
They’re all cesspools of shit that don’t bring any joy to anyone except trolls, pedants and energy vampires

And Russians are peaceophobea? 😆
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 2 months ago:
Basically it’s “I can’t get ✨ engagement ✨ on Mastodon”
People want big amounts of likes and reposts you don’t get that on Mastodon, the system is too distributed for that.
Bluesky gives them the big numbers

Check out the leaks from the Sony/Microsoft trial
There are literally tens of millions of people who ONLY use their PS5 for CoD - a live service multiplayer game.
A whole generation of people have literally never played a single player game and don’t know how to.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 3 months ago:
People expect all games to be multiplayer with online live ops and events and a steady flow of new content.
That’s why you need to have a 500 person team. Someone needs to be designing and coding the valentine’s event for 2025 right now

- Comment on The US federal loophole that allows food companies to decide what's safe for you to eat 4 months ago:
I’d go with the amount of additives compared to the “real” thing.
Like basic bread is water, yeast, flour and salt.
If your bread has 20 ingredients - it’s ultra processed.

- Comment on Telegram has become a key tool for the Russian military. Why does Moscow continue to rely on a Dubai-based civilian messaging app? 4 months ago:
Telegram might not be encrypted, but they’ve also spread their servers and content in multiple jurisdictions. And they don’t give in to law enforcement requests.
This is why Durov is being charged.
