- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 1 day ago:
Yup. And MS had to bribe the city of Munich with moving their German HQ there to make them switch back.
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons 2 days ago:
Must be an oversight, maybe write them a kindly worded e-mail to let them know.
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 2 days ago:
Yeah, I always explore everything I can reach first, although if I encounter a boss that I can’t even scratch I won’t stick around for a 37 minute fight ;) so I have some things to return to.
I’m level 40 now and the story bosses are just not scary anymore. But so far I still enjoy being a bit overpowered at times so it’s fine.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 5 days ago:
And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.
It’s all hypothetical until it isn’t anymore. You’re literally the slowly boiled frog.
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 1 week ago:
As long as people get punished for pirating media, corporations need to license their shit just as well.
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 1 week ago:
Good.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 1 week ago:
Ok. You’re often tired, but coffee gives you super strength, Popeye style.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 1 week ago:
What else would it be coming from on the exact same hardware?
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 week ago:
Wow. I already wasn’t going to buy any more Bethesda slop, but now I’m not going to buy it twice.
- Comment on Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. 1 week ago:
Sooooo … You people don’t have signs? Because my car can read those.
- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 1 week ago:
I imagine something like this.
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 2 weeks ago:
It’s not electrons “reaching” a point that does the work, it’s the fact that they move in a circuit. A generator or a battery just applies the force that makes them move (voltage).
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 weeks ago:
I think anything that uses any kind of item that doesn’t come packed with the bread belongs on the “lawful” side.
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 2 weeks ago:
Those are ok-ish for your own stuff if you don’t care too much. If you want to sell a product you have to do better.
- Comment on Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments 2 weeks ago:
I hope this goes on like “made in Germany” (originally devised as a way to keep people from buying German products, quickly became a label of quality).
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 weeks ago:
How is showing me ads for things I will make a point not to buy because I implicitly hate the products of people showing me ads more profitable than the twenty fucking bucks a month I already give them?
Imagine if all that misallocated marketing budget got used to develop better products instead.
- Comment on Avoiding AI is hard – but our freedom to opt out must be protected 3 weeks ago:
Haha, no you can’t.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen project managment in industrial fields, and now that you put it this way I can totally see it.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 3 weeks ago:
But then, why do they keep canceling them before release? They don’t know if they’d have been hits or failures.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 3 weeks ago:
I have an nvidia GPU and it worked out of the box.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
“Inflation decreases” means “the prices are being raised slower”.
What you are looking for, prices going down, is “deflation”. Governments generally do their best to avoid that, because people would start holding off on purchases expecting lower prices next week, month, quarter,… and it would tank the economy.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 5 weeks ago:
Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat
What? No! If anything they should make new original FF games with decent turn based combat again! X was the last good one, it’s time.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 5 weeks ago:
Of course. You’d just never see this and go “oh, that’s so unique and has a variety of hardware and software requirements”. That’s what I was getting at.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 5 weeks ago:
European heating system:

“The rules were you guys weren’t gonna fact check.”
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 5 weeks ago:
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows
I think that’s exactly what Microsoft is aiming to do in the future.

I’m going to take a look at that.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 1 month ago:
If I’m devoted to winning, that means I want to win myself. If I don’t profit from the company’s success outside of being allowed to keep my job, increasing the company’s bottom line isn’t a “win” for me. That’s not a matter of perspective.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 1 month ago:
“The company” i.e. somebody else’s money.
