You can do it yourself but generally not in a group like that for most people.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 5 days ago:
Yeah, the conde owner bit isn’t news to anyone, just cause this one guy never looked. Are is fine and it will be as long as the current people are there. Until it gets looted and the staff laid off it is fine. Eric Berger navigates a bit of a tightrope because he has high level access to Musk but can’t be too direct about asking anything other than rockets, even though the political part is affecting the space part a lot right now. I do expect that just like Polygon it will eventually be gutted but nothing lasts forever.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 6 days ago:
A lot of them for the small articles and stubs are written very technically and don’t provide an explanation for complex subjects if you aren’t already familiar with it. Then you have to read 4 subjects down just to figure out the jargon for what they’re saying

There are certain unique experiences you don’t get later. There are a few places that have field trips in college, but for most people that is only during regular primary school.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 week ago:
If you read the article, it says this only applies to people that already have premium google office stuff already. The 90% of people with regular gmail accounts aren’t affected by this. For now at least.
- Comment on Pentagon chief warns China 'preparing' to use military force in Asia 1 week ago:
Because they’re far away and china has to be the first one to move towards Taiwan.
- Comment on Pentagon chief warns China 'preparing' to use military force in Asia 1 week ago:
It’s easy in this case because an invasion by sea is a big target, and you can hit them without any chance of them claiming they’re attacking their homeland. It will mostly be which side has more missiles or boats. I don’t know if they will actually do it because it’s not just a single invasion. They would have to violently occupy a medium size country. That would require several million soldiers to be stationed there and supplied from the mainland. They would have to do some conscription or spend a year gathering troops. It would be very obvious. And the part where they have 0 combat experience won’t help. They won’t be ready for at least another 5-10 years. Currently the ukraine war has showed that currently drones favor the defensive side and so that is bad for China. In the future that could change but right now any full scale invasion is unlikely.

They don’t need much maintenance and the engine brake evs do to recover the energy removes stress on the regular brakes so the brakes last a lot longer.
- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 1 week ago:
But an electric car is basically just a bigger rc car, it doesn’t need any real maintenance. There’s no fluids.

Its just like pandas, if you can find a niche where there is a ton of low quality food that nobody else wants but you can gobble it down then you win.

- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but then you have something like when people protest deleted their history on reddit which is fine as a protest tactic but leaves a hole where your specific question came up but now there’s nothing there.

There are a lot of videos of the frame cracking from mild outdoor use, which instantly totals the whole vehicle.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 3 weeks ago:
The batteries are still expensive and good to use for anything else. So it should be 20-25k in scrap.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 4 weeks ago:
I played through the main quest. I didn’t really enjoy any of it.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 4 weeks ago:
You would have to basically make a whole game and rewrite characters and quests to make it better. But that’s a lot of work for modders especially when they’re not that interested in the game to start with.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 4 weeks ago:
But really you could make a fantastic game with the engine they had and starfield could have been good if it had great writing and great characters and quests. If people loved it and had some gripes about technical limitations that would be one thing. It’s an okay game with technical limitations, that makes it a bad game.

Yes, the second I realized they were actually doing that with literally copy pasted areas and notes and characters it killed the game for me. I can be reasonable for a dungeon having the same layout but not written content and characters. It invalidates the entire experience.

The fundamental concept and theme of the game is trash. It literally makes everything you do meaningless, it inevitably leads to you becoming the jaded villain. It would be better if they had an end where you destroyed the universe shifting thing and were locked in one.

Either way you would run into the problem of having a huge amount of your calories come from alcohol, without any nutrients. Unless you’re just drinking beer, which is just liquid bread.
- Comment on I think Judas kissed him 4 weeks ago:
Well that’s not really in there, he is often described as an adversary. But it is notable that there are many times where he is used by god in a necessary way.
- Comment on We have reached the “severed fingers and abductions” stage of the crypto revolution - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
No. It’s more that they have higher costs and it averages out around 20 years. So it’s close to the average length of a life sentence except if they’re young. It’s only real cheap if you have a kangaroo court and just shoot people.

It means death is final and you shouldn’t always act rashly. Gollum was a baby eater and absolutely evil.
- Comment on I think Judas kissed him 4 weeks ago:
It’s the same idea as the actual Satan in the bible who is mostly just a dude given tasks by god to tempt people.

- Comment on Wolf Reboot 5 weeks ago:
There are national forests next to it and native reservations nearby and a more difficult path to Canada, so you would expect some of the males to roam out. That’s only really a problem if they’re isolated.
