- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 1 week ago:
Can anyone fact check this
You could?
But I guess I will.
I can’t find any good source for him having bought Amazon forest. However he seems to be buying and donating wooded land in the Appalachians.

In that last one he is being thanked for a particularly large land donation.

Whoops that version was slightly out of date… by 5¾ years.
But I can now confirm it’s still in there in modern versions Image
- Comment on Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive 2 weeks ago:
Blender has a Video Editing mode UI mode too.
I’m not sure how it compares all I do in terms of editing is typically shortening video files. So if it’s missing features people would expect, I likely wouldn’t even know
- Comment on Your Phone is an Entire Computer 2 weeks ago:
On the MacBook Neo, I can even opt to not use MacOS at all and instead install Asahi Linux if I so choose (assuming Apple continues to allow custom kernel booting as it has in M-series Macs).
The author is jumping the gun a lot there. The Asahi team recently started getting the M3 support kind of working, but still need to reverse engineer the new GPU and various other things that make them different from M1 and M2 laptops. It will be years until we get anywhere close to support of the Neo.

And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 3 weeks ago:
I think this is two stories being mixed a bit here?
A bit over one month old, the lending issues: cio.com/…/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fu…
Now, confirmation of the cuts that were suspected since last year from Bloomberg: reuters.com/…/oracle-plans-thousands-job-cuts-dat…
I’m not saying there is not a link between the events, but somehow the posted article does a weird rehash mixed with news, and is not even dated, and I don’t like that, so I’m sharing the individual news pieces as separate links for other’s benefit.

Which one was that? The horses one?
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 4 weeks ago:
It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.
They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.

Thank you Milan!

Oh man I never realized there was a separate non-phone Motorola company that remained where it was. Thanks for the explanation.

Deep Rock Galactic was pretty fun for my group
- Comment on Womp womp womp. 5 weeks ago:
I was recently thinking, this recruitment drive must be heaven for the common proud boys brownshirt.
Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

How does this even make sense mechanically? What would it mean when one system of law bans another system of law?

I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.
- Comment on Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport 1 month ago:
If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.
That assumption is mistaken, and where the issues likely come from in practise.

It uses a more generic shell linking method, that doesn’t just load web URLs but also file paths, including to executables.
- Comment on Twenty four US states are now considering legislation to allow small, plug-in solar power systems that connect directly into a wall socket. 1 month ago:
Dude… the way you got piled on with stupid replies. Sometimes comment sections just go the wrong way even if you are completely right. My sympathies.

“now considering”? Bit late no? We’ve had that for over 10 years, up to 600W they don’t need approval
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 month ago:
There’s tons of search focused ones, which is weird to me. If you want a normal layout with folders then I suggest you go with Lawnchair.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 1 month ago:
No, I never had a Mac.
Doom and Lemmings on MS-DOS and Anno 1602 and Age of Empires on Windows 95 or 98 were the first few titles my dad showed me on the old PC I got to use. He showed me how to interrupt the Windows boot so I could launch the DOS games instead.
I’m not sure if Doom was just on there because he played it, because this must have been in 1997 or 1998 or maybe 1999, a few years after it released anyway.

Oh man, when I played The Last of Us on my flatmates Playstation because it wasn’t on PC at the time, I died like four times to the first few tutorial zombies. It really took a while for me to pick it up enough for even that kind of simple PvE action.

Back in my day we played Doom without any analog inputs, and strafing required a key combination so the sideway arrow keys would strafe instead of turn.
That said I did enjoy Doom the Dark Ages with my mouse earlier today, haha.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 1 month ago:
I’m interested in this brand and their Gen 6. I kind of wish I was in the market for a phone. Unfortunately I bought a used Pixel 6 three years ago and everything is just fine with it 😄

There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I’m guessing it’s one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name / handle.
