- Comment on Before modern-day authoritarian regimes, did people living under abosolute monarchies talk criticize the monarchs? Or did they just stay silent in fear of persecution? 1 week ago:
In the old times people would only know the opinions of people close to them or what the rich people wanted them to think. Glad things have changed.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 1 week ago:
Why blame Cloudflare though? Make your own service or push other companies to offer their services for free like Cloudflare. If Cloudflare is “fucked” like you want to, do you think the web will become more free? No, those 20% of the web will either be gone(because it’s not free anymore), or will move to those really big corps that own the other 80% of the web.

Wasn’t Microsoft in a bad state during Balmer and it took Nadella to change focus from Microsoft developed products to cloud and selling Linux that saved it?

they’d prefer to stay out of content moderation completely rather than try to find and boot all the Nazis
With how loose this word(and others) is used nowadays by people from Israel, USA, Russia, Africa and maybe other countries I prefer Cloudflare to stay that way.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 1 week ago:
I can explain. Cloudflare does not block VPNs, some website owners choose to block VPNs using Cloudflare services.
Cloudflare itself is very open to VPNs, like you can use their free services to proxy your VPN over their network bypassing country providers blocking. You’ll have to pay a lot for such service in Amazon or Azure.
So their business model is that poor people can receive cool services for free providing marketing for their business clients to pay for even better services. And they do provide cool services for free and even better services for reasonable payments.
Closed web means Google, Amazon and Azure own their business and the web. They don’t want that neither in business sense nor in moral sense.
- Comment on Ukraine Destroys Russian Ammo Depot With Over 19,000 Drones and Rare ZUBK14 Tank Missiles 1 week ago:
That sounds like a big victory. But thinking logically it says Russia had 19k drones stockpiled just in one location not far from the front. It’s not some super manufacturing zone(there obviously isn’t one) where they forgot to send drones to the front and their soldiers will be lacking drones for months.
So what is the point of this article? Do they state that Russia has 19k drones ready to be lost in just one their close to the front depots? Or do they exaggerate the numbers like 10-20 times?

Is there propaganda that is fascist in nature? It’s bad propaganda then. Can you give an example? Propaganda should always be for all good and everyone’s happiness. Specifics don’t matter, you can bring the followers wherever you want later.
- Comment on Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔 2 weeks ago:
That’s true, but you still follow some propaganda. You are aware of it, great, but what’s the difference between someone following the propaganda being aware of it and someone following it blindly?

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 2 weeks ago:
You have a good point about Alyx. My opinion using VR is that there’s a point with graphics when it feels comfortable, any better doesn’t give much to the experience like if you see pixels your brain just thinks that’s how the world is. I don’t include objects being interactive into graphics here, but what people generally perceive as graphics ie textures, lighting and other stuff you need gpu for. Also there are very few such interactive objects in beat saber or superhot though you still feel being in vr.

That’s probably the best how copilot could optimize it.

From my experience graphics doesn’t matter much in VR if FPS is fine. You can play HL Alyx on a what was sometime ago affordable gpu and get almost the same experience as with 5900.

- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 3 weeks ago:
Definitely but the US current situation and struggle is not at all like French Revolution. “The aristocrats”(aka the rich) are the ones who lead this, any change won’t be for the good of the people, just money changing hands. Looks more like the fall of Roman Republic to me with common people suffering and the state becoming more authoritarian.

Why do you think political violence is good? Isn’t it a sign of a failing state?

Oh I totally agree with you.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
That’s an interesting take. You think game developers should not make games that require hands, vision, hearing, etc to enjoy them?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
I like them because I will think what I did wrong, not just going to do that wrong thing again until I get lucky with my wrong strategy.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
I disagree about the fly that they just wanted to make you die more. The boss itself is super easy, it has two attacks which are not only easily dodged but also leave a lot of opportunities to attack and move around.
So in essence the boss itself is a bag with silk to heal or use magic attacks while the real problem you face is using those resources to control the minions it summons. So yeah if you go with the strategy to kill the boss fast you will suffer but if you act as a hunter to control the fight you will win.
Just my take on this boss after 100+ tries, and do consider it a good and interesting boss fight.
Or you can just rely on luck and brute force.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
It’s difficult for me and I like it. I played Hollow Knight but didn’t finish it because it was too frustrating late game. Silksong to me is not frustrating because difficulty is mainly in figuring out how to pass the challenge, not doing reflexes which I don’t have. Most of the things I heard people complain about are solved by not rushing around with failing strategy but by thinking what the game recently suggested you to do for this particular encounter.
I actually think bringing in Hollow Knight experience aka “I already know everything” might be the reason why some people are frustrated. Like I heard a person who claimed to get all the achievements in HK complain that the second phase of one boss is terrible because they spent a hundred tries to dodge all the projectiles while you can just stand at the corner of the arena where non of them will hit you and use the tools this game gives you to win the fight.

At first I thought that’s how Americans measure it - in San Franciscos. But given how “San Francisco” doesn’t sound like “One seven six oh” I’m not sure if they don’t.
