• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghost of Tsushima - I've heard it's a nice game, but it overstays its welcome. Do you agree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I 100%ed it and had a blast. But you don’t have to 100% a game if you don’t have fun anymore. You can easily just finish up the story and be happy with what you got.

  I think this is more a fault on the person playing the game than the game itself. If it was any less expansive then I’m sure there would be people wishing there was more to do in the game they like.

  Damn, I think I just remembered one too. There’s a certain Tool song…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably talking about pop/rap? Because I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a single song in my music library that mentions products/brands.

  You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have mice with frickin’ laser beams attached to their crotches!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon as a company sucks enough on its own. No need to make shit up.

  See? You can’t do it.

  I can. I can even name multiple really good shows. But you don’t want to hear them. You want to fabricate a narrative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I didn’t buy the DLC and decided I’ll wait for some sort of definitive edition to play Starfield again. I hope by that point it will be a better overall game and have enough new things to make it worth the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube has fully blocked Invidious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I forgot things like Patreon which could be a valid option. Although I’m neither a fan of subscribing to specific creators nor am I particularly fond of Patreon.

  With Nebula my perception is that I pay a monthly fee and they can figure out who gets what depending on whose videos I watched. I don’t need to be particular in my action on who to support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube has fully blocked Invidious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And how are they going to make a living to keep producing videos?

  I’d say ask them to join Nebula.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it more complicated to achieve than in other e2ee messengers? Yes, thus saying it is complicated is justified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal messenger blocked in Russia, says Roskomnadzor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI-powered search summaries use 10x more energy than a standard Google search | The Hidden Environmental Impact of AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what the power consumption of getting to the information in the summary is as a whole when using a regular search, clicking on multiple links, finding the right information and extracting the relevant parts. Including the expenditures of energy by the human performing the task and everything that surrounds the activity.

  There are real concerns surrounding AI, I wonder if this is truly one of them or if it’s just poorly researched ragebait.

  But first, a word from our sponsor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And where would you store your Bitwarden login TOTP if you used their service instead of self hosting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2894: Research Account⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the threshold for when someone is automatically wrong based on their age?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s rejection of Hey calendar app revives an old feud⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that’s a recent change. I know I was able to log in, browse and add to watchlist a few months ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s rejection of Hey calendar app revives an old feud⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can log in without having a sub. You just need to create an account on the web.

  The OP is about not being able to do anything without paying. Not about not being able to do anything without an account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s rejection of Hey calendar app revives an old feud⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you checked in the actual app? The App Store page often shows legacy info. I know it was possible, but afaik they changed it some years back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s rejection of Hey calendar app revives an old feud⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Last I checked you cannot sub from within the Netflix app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s rejection of Hey calendar app revives an old feud⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not quite correct. At least for Netflix I know that you can browse, add to watchlist etc. without a sub. Just need an account. So you can do something, just not watch anything.
