Hope this ruins him (the insane CEO).

- Comment on Seasons of the Whale 5 weeks 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.

Steam link. Very positive reviews, sightly more than 10 bucks in the sale. Has not yet been cheaper.

True. Bless them.

That wouldn’t make for good programmers or proofreaders or autists I guess.
- Comment on Radio station uses AI to interview the ghost of a dead Nobel-winner with 3 quirky zoomers who don't exist, seems baffled people don't like it 2 months ago:
Have you ever seen a movie or read a book?
It’s not the bonding part with fake characters that makes this weird. It’s pretending they are in any sense real.

Not enough miniguns yet.

No, it should obviously take you to “pay us enormous amount of money every month” page first.

What does anyone have against “u”, fucking fuck?
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 2 months ago:
This is an already solved problem - EU did it in the past.
- Comment on It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word 2 months ago:
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.

Aaa, the one temporarily featuring Hitler toaster ;)
- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 2 months ago:
Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 2 months ago:
You could also think this applies to all corporations in some degree. But no, there’s a fresh batch of bright eyed optimistic people out of school every year.
- Comment on Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text 2 months ago:
Sorry, but that’s irrelevant to “if it’s free…” implication. Those are just unrelated ways companies made suckers out of their customers.

- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 2 months ago:
Interesting. That is very close to the setup I’m using. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 2 months ago:
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 2 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.
- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 2 months ago:
NEVER update the firmware
…bacause that would add ads. I hate this whole ecosystem.

Well zero coastline is even shorter than these two for sure ;) But even if we ignore the trivial cases and small islands, Wikipedia lists Gibraltar as having shorter coastline.
- Comment on Smart 2 months ago:
Yeah, there was some background drama with his parent institution, if I remember correctly. He didn’t have enough money to fly anywhere, his institution refused to donate and he was too embarrassed to ask elsewhere. Or something like that.
- Comment on NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules 2 months ago:
Minor note: 64 unicode characters is potentially much more than 72 bytes.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard Preview - IGN 2 months ago:
Thanks. Sad to hear that. I’ve played and liked Origins, but quickly soured when playing 2. I was hoping that maybe 3 would be worthwhile… Maybe with some mods to reduce grinding, if they exist?
- Comment on Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk? 2 months ago:
I think this is the best answer. Separation of concerns and all. And OP can keep using whatever notes app he is right now or even switch to another, without the additional encryption requirement.
