- Comment on Spain, the only major European country to extradite people to China despite the ‘generalized violence’ in its prisons 3 days ago:
Don’t you see that as a separate issue? Two things can be bad at once so either you believe China is not doing what the USA is doing or you do and don’t care because the USA extradition treaty makes that okay.
The USA extradition treaty doesn’t matter for this. That is still going to suck no matter what.

Glad you agree nobody should be extradited to either country.

- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 6 days ago:
Valve doesn’t make money from keys on the grey market. Only on games bought through Steam, what do you want them to do?
They are the pioneers of lootboxes. No denying that.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 1 week ago:
I used it like 3 times before deciding my read later functionality is already and better served by the 206 tabs I will never look at.

- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 2 weeks ago:
Onto the mugs? I’ve never seen that happen to mugs, plates sure. Either way you can now get a sponge and clean that one problem mug rather than everything. Saves you so much time.

- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 2 weeks ago:
Lutris and steam do most of the heavy lifting for you. Driver side should work with no fiddling required for AMD atleast, somebody with Nvidia can chime in if it’s the same for them too.
You may need to add a couple Launch options for certain games on steam here and there or swap proton versions.
Games do sometimes break but then you wait a day or two and it’s usually fixed.
Question is what games are you playing? If it’s CoD and Fortnite I’d say stick with Windows, they won’t work.

- Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit 3 weeks ago:
It was such a short comment that they wrote. Do you have short term memory loss
A. Yes it’s a short comment thats part of my point.
B. Don’t be a dick.
Is this saying Trump is isolating America? No. It is saying that Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces but specifically under this current administration, contrasting it with prior administrations.
Yeah being specific about current events. Do you not think Trump is blatantly courting fascists?
You can say the other admistrations are fuckers and still think the current admin is worse.
A full 50% of their comment was NOT about isolating America.
So half was. That’s a good chunk of a comment to say. The Trump admin is acting more isolationist than the Biden admin.
- Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit 3 weeks ago:
Not the person you replied to.
Why did you write that list? All they said was Trump is isolating America.

- Comment on USB 2.0 is 25 years old today — the interface standard that changed the world 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never ripped the head off of a DVI or VGA cable. Unlike HDMI and DP, then they put little grippy clips in em now so you got to get the needle nose pliers out and rip them out the port too.
- Comment on Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11. 4 weeks ago:
They do don’t they? Well maybe not ribbons and medals but I swear they get little awards and certificates right? Hell I can get awards and certificates if I kissed more ass at work.
In fact I know a couple health professionals I’ll ask them.

- Comment on Spotify is down for many – here's everything we know so far 1 month ago:
Vinyl? But then the band has to have a big enough fanbase, don’t think anyone in their right mind would press 100 vinyls to only sell 10.

Third tool: I copied that rock then took that rock with my rock. Now I have two of them.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 1 month ago:
Isn’t Windows File Explorer considered basic? It only just got tabs in 11 right? That and clicking on a disconnected network share would cause it to hang for a good few minutes.
- Comment on Zelensky says Ukraine captured two Chinese nationals fighting for Russia 1 month ago:
When there are no official boots on the ground. Yeah. It is indistinguishable. Both sides are allowing foreign nationals to fight for them, is it a surprise that there would be Chinese people fighting for Russia?
- Comment on Zelensky says Ukraine captured two Chinese nationals fighting for Russia 1 month ago:
Uhh. Is it not a little hypocritical to call this out? You probably got every nationality of Europe and the USA represented in the Ukranian military. Also a few Americans that got in the news for fighting for Russia.
- Comment on Not just Switch 2: ESA warns Trump’s tariffs will hurt the entire game industry 1 month ago:
That’s. Not as bad as I thought. It’s once or twice a week, the local sports teams around me all play about once a week. If golf weren’t so expensive it would sound normal.
