  Imo Asmongold is good to mid, until he starts getting political, then it plummets into awful. Also yeah I think the garand thumb to far right pipeline is very real, the guy is actually quite extreme iirc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I wanted to use my new pcie 5.0 nvme for both Linux and windows but it’s not even being recognized as nvme in windows apparently, so I think I’m gonna reset all this shit and put windows on my old nvme and Linux on the new one but it’s a hassle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have one, it still isn’t great. Windows update routinely fucks with it. Currently using windows as my daily driver because I can’t be arsed to fix my Linux partition again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have spent time and effort creating things myself. Still think ip law is not entirely accomplishing what it should, which is protecting the interests of people producing intellectual works, preferably while they can still reap the benefits of said work and are not financially/socially stable. It seems it’s basically working backwards, great for inheritors to make millions by doing nothing except owning some IPs but terrible at protecting the people who actually need it.

  I also know a few people holding some important patents, and I guess the patent system is alright in comparison, at least in France, since it did actually protect their work while also allowing others to use it fairly and improve on it.

  Least concerning Renault engine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is almost 3 times the highway speed limit and roughly 83 m/s if I got the math right. At that speed the car will travel 40m on average before you even press the brake pedal, then the average car will take probably about 1s (which I think is conservatively low) of emergency braking to stop (or almost), traveling another 83m.

  It becomes effectively, from an emotional standpoint, like their child.

  It’s the same with code. It involves more basic logic than art but it’s still creative work imo. Hell, there’s even artistic forms of coding.

  They (save for a smarter minority) are 100% gonna decide that pesticides are more important. Until they learn they aren’t, but it will be too late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video Game Industry Failed Monolith Productions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Care might not have been the right word. I care about my code too, but we know our work belongs to the company so we don’t get too attached. The thing that hurts the most with these layoffs is stopping working with the people (or entire teams) you had a good work relationship with, and, of course, suddenly being out of work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video Game Industry Failed Monolith Productions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can tell you that no professional (non indie) gamedev cares about that. We know damn well we have no rights over the stuff we make for our overlords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prosecutors seek seven-year jail term for ex-president Sarkozy in Libya trial⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude should get a life sentence. He also ordered illegal wiretaps of the people investigating this (already got jail time for that one), and supported the Libyan civil War, probably for the sole purpose of getting rid of Gaddafi and the dirt he had on him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Outer Wilds was a first game from an indie studio. On this basis alone it was practically guaranteed to not get the success it deserved. And it does deserve a ton of it.

  Conversely, call of duty is literally one of the most notorious franchises in the entire industry, and pretty much sells on its name alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the game is good, doesnt need an active playerbase to survive (ie isn’t entirely based on multiplayer), and the company is already reputable, it has no reasons to not sell decently in the long run. Also if the company’s future is jeopardized by a single game not doing well, I’m sorry but it’s not well managed. Ask me how I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried THIS and it actually works all the time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a man I wanted to clarify that I am also easily fascinated by cheese

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if you thinking that a game even releasing in the same month as GTA6 won’t have a permanent impact on that games sales, you’re smoking the reefer.

  Maybe they should stop trying to peddle bland-ass live action games that live and die by their players numbers then. A good solo game might take a hit to its initial sales but should recover in the long run.

  It’s incredibly hard to properly benchmark your PC’s capabilities just from some hardware specs. You need an actual benchmark for that, which takes time and usually slows the machine to a crawl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 will soon let you know why your PC hardware sucks: Windows 11 will be able to explain why your PC needs more RAM and a better GPU.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, not a bad feature for once. I have seen people build (or get others to build for them) the weirdest fucking systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ten reasons to avoid Amazon | Ethical Consumer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Another good “trick” is waiting two weeks once you find the thing you “need” before actually buying it. If you forget or change your mind in these two weeks, you didn’t need it that much. Plus it gives more time to think and potentially find a better product

  Thank you for this useful insight. What do I do when my eyes quickly adapt to this stupidly bright light in my peripheral vision and I now can’t see anything in my own headlights ?

  I have tried closing my left eye before, out of desperation. Doesn’t really work and I wouldn’t recommend losing depth perception while driving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying you’re wrong in general but

  if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don’t need to panic and you will catch the gear before you’re past the point of no return

  My shitty Toyota Aygo has a hill start assist thing and it works very well. Also handbrake start is right there in the OP, (and a mandatory part of drivers ed over here)
