- Comment on Commodore shocks retro TechTuber with option to buy 'the whole company' 18 hours ago:
You guys, I think Perifractic was in a Star Wars movie haha.
Looking forward to hearing more as this progresses.
I would’ve looked up whether Commodore Corp. had changed hands via KVK: www.kvk.nl/bestellen/#/83289348000049466550 but unfortunately it’s paywalled. - Comment on YouTube is expanding its ad-blocking powers — closes loopholes that allowed some users to bypass restrictions 19 hours ago:
Eh, it only lasted for a few hours, then I updated the ublock origin filters and things were back to normal. In the meanwhile I just streamed youtube videos via a media player that had builtin yt-dlp (smplayer) support.
It’ll always be a game of cat and mouse. - Comment on OBS Studio 31.1.0 Beta 1 brings Multitrack Video to Linux 1 week ago:
I guess that’s pretty cool. What would be even cooler was client side control of the multitrack audio sources. Would be amazing if each viewer could control the volume of each audio source broadcast from the OBS streamer. Imagine being able to control the volume of the game shown or turn up the volume of the streamer, or turn down the volume of the music etc.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 week ago:
Ok, so WinAero points out React Native is cross-platform, but surely that shouldn’t matter for the Windows start menu, right? Unless it’s some ARM compatibility thing, making it easier to port or something.
- Comment on Peak Fan Sub 1 week ago:
We also used to watch anime on smaller resolution CRT’s, so it was useful to have subtitles that stood out for that reason.
- Comment on Elfs 2 weeks ago:
It’s well known that elves aren’t known for having babies all the time and the fact that they have a long lifespan and age very slowly, isn’t it… Well when I think about it like that, if an elf takes an incredibly long time to mature out of nursing stage meaning they need milk for longer than human babies, maybe big booba makes sense, but for most of the rest of the time, flat makes sense.

It’s so sad we’re burning coal and oil to generate heat and electricity for dumb shit like this.
- Comment on Nexus Mods cross-platform app v0.11.1 brings full Cyberpunk 2077 support for Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
The new Nexus Mods App runs quite nice on linux. I’ve only tested it with Bannerlord as that’s the only game I own out of the 4 ones being tested currently and unfortunately it doesn’t launch directly from the app, but it does correctly deploy the mods, so after one has added the mods, one can launch the game from a preferred launcher like steam or heroic games launcher and it works.

It confused me that this was a left-to-right read.
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t much like W1 and W2. Especially W2 feels like it’s on rails. The story is pretty good though.

All 3 titles are getting review bombed on steam currently, apparently it’s a low-res blurry mess.

- Comment on ‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year 4 weeks ago:
He added: “Retailers don’t tend to involve the police when they’re dealing with pensioners. Stores tend to want to handle it on their own.
“It’s not good publicity for a supermarket if it got out that a pensioner had been handed over to the police for shoplifting.”
Sounds like the numbers could be higher then, if it’s not getting reported.

But at least UK is free of the EU bureaucracy
- Comment on How my ultimate SimCity 2000 setup helped get Apple sued [15:26] | This Does Not Compute 4 weeks ago:
This video was recommended to me many hours ago, and I wanted to see some SimCity2000, but instead it’s a video primarily about Apple hardware problems. I’m sure this is interesting to Apple cultists, but I was thoroughly disappointed.

To be fair, it’s a pretty rage-inducing proposal.
- Comment on Every new car park may have to be covered with solar panels [UK] | Solar canopies would be compulsory under proposals estimated to save £28,000 on electricity bills at an 80-space car park 4 weeks ago:
Hahaha, “save on electricity bills”, sure that’s totally what’ll happen.

Why did I read that as “hotmeal pro”. WYSIWYG editors from that era had pretty weird names, huh?

- Comment on Duolingo launches 148 new courses as it shifts to AI-first, replacing workers with AI 5 weeks ago:
They’ve been emailing me daily since I began the account deletion progress. Of course it’s one of those crappy “it takes 7 days just because, and if you log back in, we restart the timer!”.
For comparison I recently deleted my NordVPN account and it was instant. - Comment on BONE COLLECTOR 5 weeks ago:

At least that makes it easier to spot the US brands and avoid them then.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 1 month ago:
That’s a shame. Not that I’m into Discovery at all, but the best series finales are always double-episodes. I quite literally just watched DS9’s finale earlier today, and it would’ve felt way too rushed if it had just been a regular episode.
