Makes me think, how much water would be needed to extinguish the Sun? I’m guessing a lot more than of it was a ball of fire, which would already take more than exists on Earth.

There is also a 3D spinning globe, so that too.

But, background is dynamic. You can see it has some kind of fancy moving dots. It’s totally unnecessary, but clearly WebGL was used for that.
- Comment on Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model 1 week ago:
It was not screenshots. The entire point of the Death Stranding thing was that you had a live camera feed of a face that lasses the “liveliness” checks that prevent you from using static pictures.

- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 1 week ago:
Yeah absolutely, Discord is terrible for privacy either way. What I’m saying is that the verification “requirement” is not actually required for what I would presume the majority of people use Discord for.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 1 week ago:
Yeah, except it’s not like you get to choose. If you are on the Discord server for rock climbing in your country, you can leave the community, but you don’t have “other options”.
It’s not like the question is “what platform do I want to use for X?”. The question is “The X community uses Discord, do I want to be in it or not?” And of course you can choose to not join, but you don’t have an option to choose another app.

Here in the UK Discord has been requiring this for a while already. I never did the verification, because I don’t access any NSFW Discord servers anyway. Unless you use Discord for porn (or speak on “stages”, whatever they are), there is no reason to do the verification anyway.

This was my experience. Every time people suggest it as a Discord alternative I’m like, have you actually tried it? I hate Discord as much as the next guy but Matrix doesn’t get anywhere closer.

When I’m on desktop I never go to Lemmy because I have better things to do or work on. So I end up only browsing it on mobile.
- Comment on YouTube star MrBeast buys youth-focused financial services app Step 1 week ago:
If the content is still good, and it allows hiring more people and produce more of the good content, then what’s the problem with the channel being bought? Sure, it may enshittify in the future, but let’s not judge them for things that haven’t happened.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
As someone who doesn’t use the voice chat feature of Discord, I am always confused when people suggest things like Mumble as an alternative.

They won’t let you send messages without finishing verification
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 2 weeks ago:
I get what you are saying but I’m seeing this from a different perspective.
The first statement is saying “there is nothing you can do”. You shouldn’t care about your privacy, you shouldn’t try to be careful, you shouldn’t fight for yourself. The government is all powerful and you should accept your fate. That’s why I don’t like these sweeping absolute statements. They promote giving up.
The other is “this is hard, but it’s possible to win”. And sure, you probably won’t win if the government is specifically targeting you and sending agents with rubber hoses against you. But in all likelihood they aren’t. And there are many things you can do to prevent actual passive surveillance affecting you.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 2 weeks ago:
So “any phone” turned into “virtually any phone”, and the owner needs to be alive and apprehended, and then they “most likely” can, maybe.
See, I mostly agree with what you said. But you can see how we have moved the goalpoast away from “there is no phone the government cannot get into”, to “the government can get into most phones”, which is quite a different statement.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 2 weeks ago:
Is this an advertisement? Sure, yes. The government can get into any phone? No.

A laymen won’t be able to point Firefox at their local LLM installation that they don’t have, to be able to have any impression.
- Comment on Draw! 2 weeks ago:
Why do you assume it’s a bad thing?
You renovated your house? Cool, so you are a resourceful person, maybe you can also be asked what did you learn while doing it. When I ask that question people often speak about their hobbies, or side hustles, or learning, or family obligations, it’s almost always something positive about the candidate or their character.

Their kids’ needs don’t matter, what matters is that the parent has a successful child. The measure of success is of course from the point of view of the selfish parent.
- Comment on Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes 4 weeks ago:
I moved from Fusion360 to FreeCAD. It definitely has a learning curve. But I took a few weeks to properly learn it, and I can now do all I did in Fusion. It’s not as polished (although getting there with recent versions) and not as powerful for some applications. But it’s free, open source, and I can laugh at Autodesk and their subscription fees.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 5 weeks ago:
And if they say 16GB and my system is bogged down with other stuff, they are not going to “get sued” when the game doesn’t run? That argument makes no sense. How much anti-suing buffer are they leaving in your opinion? Should they sae 32GB just to be safe in case you run 20GB of Chrome tabs?
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 5 weeks ago:
Why would they tell us, nobody does that and it depends on your system so it’s not possibble for them to provide a concrete value that would apply to everyone. Which makes it an interesting thing to wonder about.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 5 weeks ago:
Are you trolling? Yes exactly, they are system requirements, we are all on the same page. That’s why we are wondering what are the actual game requirements.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 5 weeks ago:
Yeah obviously, hence the comment you replied to. We are wondering how much it actually needs, since it clearly doesn’t actually need 16GB.
- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 5 weeks ago:
And what does that have to do with how much RAM the game needs? If I have 32GB of RAM, and I’m usually running 18GB of other tasks, will I be able to run the game with the 14GB of free RAM or will I need to close other applications?
Because if it actually uses 16GB is quite different if it actually uses 10GB.
