- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 5 hours ago:
I stopped when they added more hard breach operators, and then a secondary hard breach gadget (and I think an emp grenade too now?). I remember seeing IQ with a hard breach gadget. So a 3 speed, fast gun, can now hard breach? Anyone can do anything now.

Hmmmm a youtuber I watched just said ‘the hackers messed with players accounts’ and ‘dont worry, ubisoft will fix it soon’.
If this post is true, and the hackers tried to be Robin Hood here, then I think that YouTube account isn’t as unbiased as I thought. (I haven’t played since Ace joined)
- Comment on The events at hogwarts were just an escalating series of magical school shootings 🤔 4 days ago:
Books or movies? Book year 5
just in case anyone still interested
had Umbridge/minstery of magic come in to get rid of Hagrid. McGonagall I think even got injured fighting back.
As I’m typing this out, I’m suddenly remembered of Um, Actually, and how this could have been a good question for the show
- Comment on The Worst Thing About the RAM Shortage That Nobody’s Talking About 1 week ago:
Fuck it (alcohol talking now, but I’m confident I won’t regret this tomorrow)
Me: “I run Linux on my machine” Them: " Don’t run Linux. A good antivirus is all you need… Blah blah blah" Me (arguing in the shower that evening): “well, I think Microsoft is the virus. What do you think about that?”
Its been 2 years since that day. We still on speaking terms, even though we on 3 different fields of the PC Spectrum. Even though every time I walk past their cubical, I think back to that lunch time conversation, and what I could of said…

Prebuilt PCs still allow you to change the OS.
(100%, this is only my work place) but the most Tech compitant person at work is ‘I have 3 monitors on my home machine’ and my least compicant coworker is ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’ (they asked me to save their phone pictures. Me: Let’s copy and paste everything to the desktop for now. We can fix that later. Them: ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’…
Yes, i know copy and paste to desktop is a temporary solution at best, but at least 1/4 of my workmates is at THAT level of computer literacy.)
If I had to start talking about copilot and Microsoft recall, it will fully over their heads)
- Comment on The Worst Thing About the RAM Shortage That Nobody’s Talking About 1 week ago:
My tin foil hat theory is; RAM and Storage prices go up, -> cheaper to buy pre-built computers vs build-your-own computers, -> More people buy pre-built systems -> more people tied to a default OS and software.
In My Opinion, building your own system forces you to realise that the computer and the OS are 2 different things. If more people build vs buy, then more people will realise they don’t need microsoft to use their own hardware that they own.

I imagine it can be an easy job though? Fake your credentials, but day you go to church 3 times a week, and guaranteed job?
- Comment on How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account 3 weeks ago:
I remember deleting my account around when they introduced their recap things. I don’t want to know where I posted/commented/viewed a lot. And I DEFINITELY don’t want the app tracking all that.
- Comment on Seems legit 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t it possible to download all of wikipedia, and it being surprisenly a small file size? Can it fit on a CD?

They have this concept in Artemis Book is about a city on the Moon, and Andy Weir being a sci-fi nerd, talks a lot about the problems and solutions for that city.
So showers there are like that. (I don’t want to spoil it, but there so many cool solutions the author comes up with)

- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 5 weeks ago:
It to help the christian missionaries across the world, but not the neighbour sleeping on a mattress on their porch.
Its to help replace the church carpets that the pastor doesn’t like, not help the homeless community who is living under the bridge in the city.
I may be a biased, unhappy, ex-church goer, but that’s what I saw

Is it true that the centaur from movie 1 had more lines than all the black characters in all 7 books?
And then modern fans get mad at black Snape in the TV show (if that gets to finish. My bets is it will patter out like the fantastic beasts movies)

I hate that I can’t tell of this is real or AI.
This guy can’t be a sitting president of a country. Like, imagine if the president of France/india/ANY other country was doing this? They would be the laughing stock of the internet. Bye in the US of A, fans buy his merch* and pray for him. (*hell, even YouTubers don’t push their merch this much anymore)
