  Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don’t feel like it’s their responsibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

  Unfortunate you can’t notice the buttery smoothness if 60+ fps.

  Do in remember right that the special forces add-on was an online only purchase? I’m pretty sure the euro forces one was at least. I remember not having the new weapons for a long time until I could log in to my account on a friends computer with it installed.

  Oh I’ve actually heard of Pluto.tv and watched it somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not trying to make a point, I’m just curious how many this impacts and so on. I imagine it will go down similar to Netflix account sharing crackdown; generally viewed unfavourably, but will convert enough users to pay for it to be worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How is Plex used if you aren’t using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can’t imagine their offering is very competitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most currencies today are fiat currency. They only got value because they are the official currency of a nation and their government says so and people have the belief it has value. The US dollar used to be backed by gold but was stopped in the 70’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clip of Chinese academic dismantling Israeli genocide propagandist goes ultra-viral⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why this is ultra viral, so you know its actually viral 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh lol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but everything red shifts “naturally” as well as the light travels because of the expansion of the universe. So something traveling towards us will still red shift, just slightly less so. To determine distance you have to use something called the cosmic distance ladder. It consists of known properties of stellar objects that we can measure to determine the distance of objects.

  Is that z as in Zionism or gen-z or ruzzia? Or a little bit of all

  I was looking to try Qobuz, but they didn’t like my email domain, so skipped it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing financiers have such a good track record of creating rational and sustainable markets. The Great Depression and 2008 will never happen again, collective intelligence when trying to earn all the money is the only sound basis of trust.

  Also, fuck Sabrina.

  Shame, guess I can’t say categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is dumb.

  We need to get Euler in there as well!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But ideas are cheap, of course every government has thought and dragged ideas about this before. But implementing them is costly, so letting another government go first, working out the kinks, getting case studies for what kind of messaging works, what tech is required, and seeing what the backlash looks like, makes the second go a lot easier and cheaper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they give you some sort of return or interest for having cryptosystem with them? If not why not just store it in your own wallet. I thought the whole point of crypto currencies was to decentralise it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But it does effect everyone. Don’t you think the lack complete backlash to the online safety act is emboldening similar ideas in the rest of the world, especially the EU? Yes, we’ve stopped chat control like 2 or 3 times already, but it’s being brought up again now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They'd just appear out of nowhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I most commonly see these these when I have a migraine, really bad sneezes, or I flick my eyes or move my head quickly. I’ve heard it’s fine unless you see a bug chunk at the same time as that could be a sign the retina has broken or come loose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Balls Clapped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t trust cloud storage in case of a dictatorship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started using Curve since I swapped to Graphene. Upsides: it’s not google and it works fine. Downsides: it’s a free as in beer app that (I assume) is selling my data.

  I’ve read that Monzo used to have their own NFC payment app, but it looks like that isn’t around anymore and they just integrate with Google Pay now. If anyone knows more about it I would love to hear it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn’t republicans winning because dems didn’t vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can’t wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Nazi gold is still very much a thing. And the descendants of Jewish people who died in concentration camps are often unsuccessful in reclaiming any wealth that was stored in Swiss banks, because they don’t have death certificates and what not. Switzerland is incredibly stubborn and selfish when it comes to anything that would tarnish their neutral stance in banking and politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn’t comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven’t read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don’t plan to comply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it’s time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.
