Software quality collapse
That started happening years ago.
The developers of .net should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.

Why shouldn’t I make the Torment Nexus!?
- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 2 days ago:
Sounds like Discord is about to have 2 million cases of arbitration to sort out.
One person takes them to arbitration, it’s short work for their legal team, if 1000 do it’s harder, if 100,000 do, you still have to respond in a timely manner. The costs would be astronomical.
Valve and a few others removed it for that reason, it’s a bomb waiting to blow.
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 2 days ago:
It hasn’t taken any jobs, but this will keep being repeated so it can be used as a bludgeon against pay rises and keeping up with inflation.
‘you’re lucky to have a job’
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 2 days ago:
No Raspi support for AV1 either. I’m stuck in patent hell HEVC land.
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 2 days ago:
Look at those sleek lines, it all interlocks.
AV7 is clearly the best.
Av7 - oh god imagine if you pulled that seven in a bit. Sexy.

- Comment on Australia has a $127,000 housing affordability question 3 days ago:
More 4-5 story blocks with commercial on the ground floor and real family sized flats, with storage.
Apartments here tend to all be built like they’re ready for AirBNB - no storage, lots of wasted space for pretty bathrooms and foyers.
- Comment on Australia Post releases footage of posties being hit by cars as it urges drivers to ‘keep an eye out’ 3 days ago:
To play devils advocate- they need more dark spots. Against the sunlight up some hills, they basically become invisible.
- Comment on Elon Musk reveals 2026 launch for his AI game alongside Grok-made garbage 3 days ago:
*Delivering nothing.
When he does deliver it’s more often a gem than a turd, but he almost never delivers.
Self Driving Cars? Nope.
BFR? Nope.
ITS? Nope.
Starship is an death trap - I’d trust a 737MAX over ever getting on that turd.
Tesla Roadster with thrusters (yes, he promised this) Nope.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 4 days ago:
There are plenty that will boot/install Linux just fine but won’t do a nice clean install of Windows 11.
Modern Thinkpad E16 (AMD) is one of them, a clean USB won’t work, it will always stick at not finding required drivers.
You need to inevitably create a USB install from the MS USB Media Creation tool, running on the machine itself from the included crapware Windows - to get an installer USB that will work.
Different if you’re just pushing a wim over the network from endpoint/scm, but it’s basically broken for local users.
- Comment on More Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Details Emerge, Including Who Is Making It 6 days ago:
It’s Xbox, so it probably won’t even release.

On the first picture, you could headcanon that’s for a planned future extension to the highway.

Turns out you don’t need to call it ‘non-fungible’ or ‘web3.0’ - just lie and you can sell JPEGs for tens of thousands of dollars!

- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 2 weeks ago:
Aspyr is the company, it’s not really a ‘studio’ - they’re a porting house that used to port PC games to MacOS, poorly (but beggars could not be choosers in the post win95 world, crappy Aspyr port or none at all)

Pritchard will take on the role.
About time! What, did she get stuck in an airduct on the way there?
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed 2 weeks ago:
Also the intro threw me off right away, at least in 4 there was still a veneer of you starting as a lowly pleb, 5 was just “YOU’RE THE SUPERSTAR!!!” right from second one and it was just patronising.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.
Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.
They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, they’re the ‘better than the last lot’ party. Labor are a party of and for Landlords.
The Greens are the good party.
- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 2 weeks ago:
I would have agreed a year ago.
But the only clearing houses for online transactions turned out to be a bunch right wing stooges that hate LGBT and Adult Games.

RIP 48 of those games.
- Comment on TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed Deal 2 weeks ago:
Probably why they went for the contract. That’s some big money headed Larry’s way.
- Comment on TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed Deal 2 weeks ago:
Does the baseband count? (of course it does!)
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Everyone knows that.
But, at the very least we should be congratulatory on this - it’s bad that clans were contained to DLC in the first place and Paradox needed a good kick, but since they’ve been pliable we should give them a pavlovian pat on the head.
If you leave no room for ‘rehabilitation’ there is no reason to try to do better.
- Comment on SBS resists calls to join EU boycott of Eurovision 2026 if Israel allowed to compete | SBS | The Guardian 3 weeks ago:
Instead of asking for Israel to be banned, we should be demanding that that be Palestine included (even if outside the EBU, special circumstances)
I’d almost be willing to wager that if Palestine was added (and possibly even put alongside Israel) that Netanyahu will probably pull Israel out himself.

I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)
We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(
