You should, they are great.
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 3 weeks ago:
It probably won’t, they were banned due to sanctions that the EU completely support. Though they were unblocked so it raises questions was the ban even legitimate and also why it took 2 weeks to unban them.

Will they return the master-slave terminology? It’s actually funny how the Newspeak wheel is turning.

And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.

That monitor looks so sexy.
- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 5 months ago:
VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.
- Comment on It was rigged? 5 months ago:
That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 5 months ago:
If I didn’t visit Lemmy, I wouldn’t even know how many people dislike them
“Many” is probably an overstatement. Lemmy echochamber is probably like 1% of ultra-leftwing Americans. Even among their country left wing is a minority. And overall the US is less than 5% of the world population. So for every person hating Musk you will probably find ten thousand who adore him. Just not on Lemmy.
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
Actually, no. The 22 amendment says that a person can’t be “elected” as President while the 25 amendment says that the Vice President shall become President in case of resignation. No contradiction here. So while Trump can’t be elected anymore he can still become President for unlimited terms.
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
Can’t someone run for President, name Trump his vice, then resign?

Those are noobs though, just git good and save the world with a small dick.

That is wrong assumption. We know that even when something is infinite it may never reach required value. Shakespeare or anything else may be a unique event in the infinite space-time universe.
- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 5 months ago:
They are still in the mindset of “we are the only player in the field and people can’t live without us”.
No, they are in the mindset “we are a company selling cloud Linux, our legacy products are money drain”. They clearly state it in their yearly reports.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 5 months ago:
I don’t think that’s fair. I “own” GTA5 and don’t really care for the last… 8 years? what they add. I had the full content of my purchase. Why should I be able to gain money for this?
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 5 months ago:
Luckily Valve seems to believe in freedom of decision for their users so they won’t do this. There are kernel level cheats so there are kernel level anticheats. Obviously anticheats are mostly lame in what they do so it would probably be better for them to not be kernel level. Still there are “pure malware” anticheats and Valve thinks it’s up to the user to decide if they want one, their job is to inform the user. And that’s the best approach here in my opinion.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 5 months ago:
Well Windows wasn’t an important Microsoft product for like 15 years now. It’s been like 7 years when Microsoft is a company mostly selling cloud Linux services. Ridiculous I know, but that’s from their yearly financial reports. It seems their plan is to cash out Windows as fast as possible before dropping it.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 5 months ago:
but I would be surprised if someone who wanted a new GPU couldn’t continue to get ahold of one in Russia, given enough funds.
From what I saw recently it’s actually cheaper there than in non-sanctioned nearby countries.

Can we could 10/0 as a big number? Or even just as a number.
- Comment on xkcd #3001: Temperature Scales 5 months ago:
0°F is a cold winter and 100°F is a hot summer
Makes sense for some specific location. But in general sense 0°F is not cold and 100°F is not hot.
- Comment on hard to argue with 5 months ago:
I don’t think “valid” is a proper word for someone’s life. You don’t have to be validated by anyone, you don’t own anyone anything. Do what you yourself see fit for this one-time adventure.
