My wife’s grandfather. That lady is like first gen feminism.
Well ol Grandpappy sent much of his life savings to sponsor a Asian wife, getting her a house and a new car. Then he was ready to leave my grandmother to start a new life. But Grandma found bank statements and they divorced and got mucho of the split.
He tried to live with his sponsored Asian wife, who ended up being a story like OPs.
Grandpa fucked around and found out he is now homeless.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release 4 hours ago:
When it first came out, for some reason, I thought all games would start following Valve’s lead and introduce commentary.
And now two decades later, I don’t know if any other games have.
Then again, we have other ways like game devs talking on podcasts/live stream.

I thought it was just me! I played every HL game as a teen. Now 20 years later, my old eyes seem to struggle a bit.
And yeah, changing FoV is what solved it for me.
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 3 days ago:
Jitsi is a open-source video platform you can self-host.
I don’t trust anything going through another company’s servers. Zoom had to backpedal when it was found feeding content to AI… Imagine talking about your company business secrets and now some dickwad are Zoom reads the transcripts and steals it.

Some GenZ kids were talking about how cool rolling up a window with a handle was and wished it was in cars again. It was refreshing to hear.
- Comment on Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999 1 week ago:
Seriously. Reminds me of those “I’m Rich” apps which just displays that text, and actual idiots wanted to flex so they bought them.

I’m not angry. I’m just confused.

This is apple we’re talking about. So it’ll be $500 and called the iDock and the fans will call it innovation.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. It’s been making the tech waves for the past year. My company went department by department, ensuring we clean up. I’m guessing it’s never been newsworthy enough for the average person.

Seriously.
1 website that forwards data to all the social media platforms.

This message has existed for 10 hours and a cryptobro hasn’t commented yet?

This hurts so much. Being in the tech industry, I see it everywhere.
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 3 weeks ago:
I went to a AI conference and you can just feel how bogus it all feels. Like “Our patent pending AI system references billions of crowd-sourced data points to identify what you are craving for breakfast! Never think about breakfast again!”
And as a engineer speaking with other engineers, we all collectively shrug and just keep taking the money. I’ll AI your toaster for enough money I don’t GAF.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 3 weeks ago:
To this day, I still can’t believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say “free speech” . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.

Aw gross tig buddy cartoons yikes.
Can you share those links so I know what sites to avoid?
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 3 weeks ago:
Not really what Valve did. Valve kept doing cool things that benefit the customer, while the competition actively drove them away.
I don’t follow social media. Is BlueSky feature rich and only getting better?
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 3 weeks ago:
I used to be like you, laughing and enjoying life.
The new director of technology we just hired a few months ago flexed about how he’s now hit 6-digit donations to Star Citizen. It’s still early and he hasn’t shown any results, but if he’s following the Star Citizen path of growth, my department is fucked.

Yep.
When I was in high school, I was upset that I didn’t know enough.
When I was in my 30s, I worked hard to fully understand everything.
Now I’m in my 40s and I just assume I’m stupid. I got nothing to prove. If I’m convincing a group that’s paying me to explain some architecture, sure. But a group of bros who want me to weigh in on why the sky is Green, bruh IDGAF.

I learned bash thanks to AI!
For years, all I did was copy and paste bash commands. And I didn’t understand arguments, how to chain things, or how it connects.

Speeding cameras wouldn’t have changed that.
“There is little evidence” that automated traffic enforcement is an effective tool at either “improving traffic safety [or] limiting violent interactions between law enforcement and drivers during minor traffic stops … when enforcement is predicated simply on the assessment of financial sanctions," the group Fines and Fees Justice Center argued in its report.

Not to mention, many cameras are hidden and create false positives. They get mailed tickets and have to spend a day in court.

Watching my 19yo niece wake up every morning to go work at the breakfast restaurant during the pandemic because she was essential.
My 60yo mom waking up to work at the pastries factory with hundreds of other people during the pandemic because she was essential.

This story does exist! Just not in newspapers or websites.
My friend in a flood zone left her shift during the flooding in Asheville and she’s not sure if she has a job coming back.
