- Comment on The Witcher 4 - Cinematic Trailer | State of Unreal 2025 6 hours ago:
That, and UE5, means I’m super not hyped. I’ll definitely be closely watching reviews, especially on the performance side
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 1 day ago:
Oh yeah, considering the amount needed to level up & the amount they gained, they probably gained a few levels with that single fight
- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 4 days ago:
Well yeah, w11 has no selling point, that’s why they’re forcing you to switch by removing support by autumn 2025
- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 1 week ago:
They’re VCs, they’re not here for the long run: they’ll replace the employees with AI, make record profits for a quarter, and sell their shares and leave before problems make themselves too noticeable to ignore. They don’t care about these companies, and especially not about the people working there
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 1 week ago:
That doesn’t work. Data can and has been deanonymized previously. It’s still very mcuh unsafe if it falls in the wrong hands
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 week ago:
Holy shit, I knew about the “magic trick” girl and thought he was a quirky funny man, but assaulting an artist to force them to work for free? What a fucking asshole

What?
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
It’s not really Bethesda anymore though is it? Either ID software or Microsoft, no?
- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 2 weeks ago:
Teflon is not a type of PFAS and is actually safe
- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 2 weeks ago:
Ffs watch the video or read the post; Teflon is inert and completely safe, the issue is that to boost the speed of production they used PFAS which are very much dangerous at extremely low quantities, and yet it’s everywhere including rainwater
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 3 weeks ago:
How is what you quoted “standing up” to anything? Am I missing something?
- Comment on All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025 4 weeks ago:
Lol
Yeah it is because you don’t have to worry about responsive, cross browser compatibility, limiting asset use, accessibility, SEO…
- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 5 weeks ago:
I was surprised to have a fairly unusual setup with fairly unusual peripherals, and everything pretty much worked out of the box, except for one software (philips hue sync) for which there is an open source alternative (huenicorn, and it wasn’t built-in as Linux drivers are, because it’s specialized and requires a special interface)
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 5 weeks ago:
When you ask for a refund under Steam’s 2h/14d policy, it’s Steam offering the refund. Past that, the request is passed on the developer
At least that’s how I’ve heard it described, idk for sure
- Comment on Why are Nickel and Cobalt considered ferrous? 5 weeks ago:
They’re not considered ferrous because they don’t contain iron, if they’re considered ferrous in some domains then I suppose it’s a jargon use of the term specific to that domain
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
I get the problem you’re describing, it does happen to me as well, but OP is specifically talking about spelling, which I generally do find to be worse in posts from native speakers
- Comment on Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey' 2 months ago:
They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store… I’d rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia
- Comment on Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey' 2 months ago:
Mojang’s “stealing” started from at least the pistons in 2011, 3 years before the acquisition. Credit was given to the original mod author under “Additional programming”, and they did reuse the actual code from the mod
I don’t think it’s fair to call that stealing, for multiple reason:
- copyright of game mechanics should never be supported, if we serioussly consider this stealing then a lot of innovation will be completely hampered, and videogames will be subject to abuses worse than what exists in other creative industries. Copyright on game concepts would be akin to copyright on camera angles, special effects, etc…
- mods are only available on PC. Taking ideas from the community and incorporating them into the base game makes the content available for everyone, even vanilla PC players
- Mojang’s has been very decent with OG mod authors, often being assisted by said authors to incorporate their content into the game, see how they worked with the author of Mo’ Creatures, a mod for animals, to add the horse into the game
- Comment on How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12? 2 months ago:
AFAIK you can’t overdose b12, but in any case I’d follow a doctor’s advice
- Comment on Fuck'em fascists and what they say, you are a human and deserve to be loved ❤️ 3 months ago:
Lol no, this is because this community is managed by leftists who are squatting the name lol
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Stop infantilizing women.
"Are they consenting adults"is the only question people should be allowed to ask about a couple without being publicly shamed.

You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards
- Comment on Clever, clever 7 months ago:
I mean, if your instructions were to quote some random name which does not exist, maybe you would ask your professor and he’d tell you not to pay attention to that part
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 7 months ago:
Putin only exists because Russians resent the west after having been sidelined despite foregoing communism (which Gorbachev did in the hope that Russia would be able to join, and benefit from trade with, the liberal bloc)
If you think they’ll resent Putin and not the west for every minor (and some major) annoyance brought by sanctions, you are ignoring decades of policies done in the same spirit and resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect. All this does is demonstrate to the Russians that the west is indeed their enemy, and thereby reinforce Putin and the likes of him.
All sanctions do is target innocents and reinforce whatever government the US is supposedly targeting. See literally every single country sanctioned by the US.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 7 months ago:
Everyone has a VPN or can use proxies extremely easily nowadays, especially in Russia. Literally all this does is creating a precedent of a parts manufacturer (““manufacturer”” in the case of nvidia), and y’all are cheering because “fuck russians”.
All this does is creating this bad precedent while accomplishing exactly nothing
- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 7 months ago:
Absolutely idiotic take that endangers not only Linux but fractures the concept of open source itself.
