- Comment on For-profit Pie Adblock (from the founder of Honey) called out for copying uBlock Origin open source code without credit 3 weeks ago:
Never use a “for-profit adblocker”.
Most prominently, this includes Adblock Plus, which functions as extortion-ware, extorting payments from ad-dealers to let their ads through.
- Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14% 3 weeks ago:
Found the source (if wiki can be considered):
It was NOT bio gas, it was Natural gas (i.e. russian gas).
Natural gas is seen by some countries as the bridge between coal and renewable energy, and those countries argue for natural gas to be considered sustainable under a set of conditions.[47] Germany in particular was a strong supporter towards its inclusion in the taxonomy, moreover advancing a request to the Commission to further ease environmental restrictions on its use.

Now piss off with the revisionism.

Electricity imports also rose to 24.9 TWh, driven by lower generation costs in neighboring countries during summer. France (12.9 TWh), Denmark (12.0 TWh),…
True.
- Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14% 3 weeks ago:
Yes it was, but I can’t find the sources now. It was some time after the recent invasion of Ukraine by the eastern hordes; titles were something like "Germany reclasified natural gas as renewable’. My memory fails me, so it may have been different gas and different purpose than electricity. Anyway, it came as a very poor taste.
In other news, Germany imports quite some percentage of its electricity from other countries, like nuclear-produced electricity from France. So, in a sense and to a degree, it outsources the emissions to other countries.

- Comment on Seasons of the Whale 2 months ago:
Whale fall is a fascinating thing.
A whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor, typically at a depth greater than 1,000 m, putting them in the bathyal or abyssal zones. On the sea floor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades.

It’s not the bonding part with fake characters that makes this weird. It’s pretending they are in any sense real.

You’re right. This is just “SaaS”, “cloud APIs” approach turned to 11 - making some thing unavailable to everyone unless they agree to agree with any conditions you come up in the future. For example, if Github Copilot becomes genuinely and uniquely very useful, that’s bad for the software development industry over the entire world: it means that every single software dev company will have to pay “tax” to Microsoft.

This. The stuff OP hates in the games is added as the “endgame content” for people planning on spending half their lifetime in the game. That kind of “content” is generally not added to single-player-first games like those you mentioned.

Interesting. That is very close to the setup I’m using. Maybe I’ll give it another try.

This narrows it bit too much, LGs were the one of few remaining beands.
- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 3 months ago:
This plays with the idea of data poisoning for the advertisers. Maybe there are some actual practical options for this regarding TVs. The idea was already implemented on PCs for example in the form of browser extension - Ad Nauseam by some professor lady. Maybe it could be expanded upon in the context of TVs.

What kind of router do you use? That setup has never worked for me with Asus routers for more than few days.

…bacause that would add ads. I hate this whole ecosystem.
