- Comment on Good luck 4 days ago:
I just pour a little of the hot water into it while I start my coffee brewing, swirl it around and pour it out, then wipe out the mug
I’ve never had any buildup and it gets plenty clean enough, and takes effectively zero time because I’m already waiting for the coffee anyway

On the flip side, errors in 3D graphics typically won’t cost a company millions, while errors in an SQL query very well might

Anyone who cannot stop working and live off their own wealth (and not rely on the working income of others) for the rest of their lives is, by definition, working class.
- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 1 week ago:
I actually really liked 8.1, preferred it to 7 once I got used to the Start Screen. Surprisingly well designed, actually found myself preferring the menu over 7’s
10 had the best start menu in my opinion, but the quality was just an ever advancing downward spiral.
Now, I can’t even stand it, deal with it at work as much as I have to, but at home, the only Windows machine left is only still on it because simulator peripherals are a pain to get working right on Linux sometimes, so my dedicated simulator machine still uses that, but it’s used for nothing else

Oh yeah, most people just have no clue how much yarn is needed or how much time it takes to make even a fairly simple item

- Comment on "Jurassic" Park 1 month ago:
The fact that the movie turned Hammond into a kindly grandfather figure rather than the rich, greedy bastard he was in the book was probably one of the bigger mistakes in the adaptation… The way he’s presented as a visionary who actually cares in the movie makes the cut costs not really make that much sense.
Greedy capitalist fuck who only sees how much money he can milk out of the park like he was in the book? That made perfect sense.
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s… It’s a pretty bizarre reason to downvote someone, but if that’s what they want to do, nobody is going to stop them from wasting their time

Microsoft, you already got me to leave Windows, you don’t have to keep sending me reminders, I wasn’t at risk of wanting to come back…
- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure all of the melee weapons are medium pen, that the light pen listing is inaccurate… But I’ll not 100% positive on that
- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 4 months ago:
The rotating shop isn’t really FOMO, at least not anymore… Only the most recent few superstore pages that release with warbonds are rotating, the rest are permanent, and another permanent one gets added every time they release a new warbond. So, if you miss it, it’ll probably come around a few times before going permanent.
- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 4 months ago:
There’s nothing pay-to-win about it. You can pay to unlock warbonds, but you don’t need the warbonds to perform well at the highest difficulty, it really isn’t that hard to get the super credits to unlock a warbond in game, and even once you’ve unlocked the warbond you still need medals to unlock the items in the warbond (which you’ll get while getting enough credits anyway).
If you’re still on the vanilla warbond, focus on unlocking that… You’ll have enough credits for a couple warbonds at least by the time you’ve gotten though a substantial portion of it between the credits in the warbond and just drops that you’ll pick up while playing.
Just… Play to enjoy the game with friends (or randoms), you’ll have those things faster than you think, and pick warbonds that have weapons and strategems that seem interesting to you (can even pick up primary and support weapons from teammates to try them out and see if you’ll like them… Just ask first ;) )

Also, don’t ever trust companies to do anything they promised with the clear intent to garner good will, especially if the promise is years away
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 4 months ago:
This.
And I didn’t even realize just how exhausting it had gotten until I switched and, even with having to relearn how to do certain things, just never felt like I was having to fight with it. It doesn’t change things and move things around on you at random, it doesn’t pester you constantly to do things unless you explicitly set it up to do so, doesn’t shove an online account down your throat, force you to accept updates on their schedule including reboots when you’re trying to get something done…
No, my machine is my machine and it does what I need and tell it to do, not what some multi trillion dollar company thinks it should do.

I already did update, to Linux. Haven’t run into those kinds of issues since.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 11 months ago:
This is my thought… Don’t hide it, really, more like toss a blanket over that part while people get settled. Most will stick with the defaults (whether a single default like lemmy.world or regional defaults like lemmy.ca), but they’ll get the option if that’s something they want to change later (I do wish there was a way to move instances rather than having to make a new account, that might also help improve adoption… “Just go with this one while you settle in and move when you know where you want to go”)
