You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards

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. 4 weeks 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. 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Absolutely idiotic take that endangers not only Linux but fractures the concept of open source itself.

OC finished their comment with “call me crazy” lmao
- Comment on Why is UI design backsliding? 2 months ago:
It’s not UI backsliding. It’s Microsoft being incompetent. I have no idea how they’re still in business, and astounded at their valuation. It seems like everything they manage to push out is just barely functioning

- Comment on The bizarre secrets I found investigating corrupt Winamp skins 3 months ago:
I’m under 30, I have no idea what winamp is but I figured it’s some music software from the skins’ pics. I imagine it was popular for it to have a museum thing about user created skins
(I haven’t googled anything yet)
- Comment on Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer 4 months ago:
I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks
- Comment on ELDEN RING - Update 1.12.2 (Rebalanced Scadutree Blessings) 4 months ago:
I’m extrapolating so I might be wrong, but what I get from this is that they boosted the benefits of the first scadu fragments but nerfed the benefits of the later ones, which is just changing the scaling but ultimately results in the same difficulty
- Comment on In this house we share the bananas 6 months ago:
Still not capitalism. Capitalism would be one Orang owning the bed factory (capital) and allowing other Orang to get some fruit for making beds while the capitalist Orang would get fruit by virtue of letting other Orangs work in his bed factory.
Exchange =/= capitalism
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 6 months ago:
The game was allowed for sale worldwide, Sony changed the restrictions today on the steam store, delisting the game in 177 countries where it was previously available
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 6 months ago:
Steam and arrowhead both allowed the sale of the game in non-compatible markets.
No. Sony handles the publishing on Steam. Sony set the countries allowed for sale – neither Steam, which is only the platform, nor arrowhead, who did not publish the game, have any responsibility in the matter. You’re taking away blame from Sony which is the single culprit for that mistake

It was illegal to be gay in my western country in the early 90s. Your opinion is wrong and sucks ass
- Comment on USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update 8 months ago:
Using a mac daily for work, no it doesn’t. Some built in software features keep fucking up, external device or not. Like the “pause music” button, which stopped working entirely on my mac no matter if you press it on the builtin or external keyboard, the multi desktop which keep fucking up and putting apps on top of other apps that are fullscreen, making them barely usable…
We agree on the external device part though, it can decide to stop working with stuff you used for months for no good reazon

Well they probably did power down the performance a bit but censorship is known to nuke LLM’s performance as well

Cabal is originally a Hebrew word. Its use as a conspiracy thing is rooted in antisemitism and still used to ostracize Jews

- Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco 9 months ago:
That’s not the argument I’m making. What I’m saying is that if you only take the raw numbers for a given event into account, and don’t consider the population of the event, then you can make any event affecting a large population look like an urgent affair when it’s not so urgent
Human driven cars should be replaced with automation (or even better, automated public transportation) as soon as it’s viable. It’s not yet, so rushing for corporations to put their unsafe vehicles on the street should not be rushed. Because then the only thing you’ll rush is transforming human driver fatalities into robotic driver fatalities, and you never know how worse things can get
- Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco 9 months ago:
The fact that a thing most people do and some for hours daily has a large effect shouldn’t be surprising
- Comment on A fake recording of a candidate saying he’d rigged the election went viral. Experts say it’s only the beginning 9 months ago:
If it’s a news agency they could sign it. Great.
But then it hinders the denouncing of police violence, whistleblowing, and allows corporations to sign their claims while what regular people record will be assumed to be false

- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 10 months ago:
No technology ever comes out free of caveats, and trams, even though they are way better than busses, require years of public work on the infrastructure. That job should be started ASAP, but letting diesel run in the meanwhile is pointless
