  I wonder how they got that name, maybe just me but it brings to mind a lot of things but none of them are a chat client.

  I think it mostly reminds me of voat, anyone remember that horrible place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18 days til the deadline btw⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some very strong words from one of our top Democratic politicians. They think this one is going to really hurt his feelings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve often thought that scheduling it would be kind of amazing, but for most I’ve been with, feel like that wouldn’t be an attractive prospect.

  I’d feel really bad if my partner wasn’t enjoying themselves on this one though and even without that concern it wouldn’t feel like your idea here would be sustainable. It would be very hard to convince me that this was something that could be maintained over a long term relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin' PSYOP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you let enough people speak and they all agree with no pushback, people start to think maybe they’re onto something, no matter how crazy.

  Writer just woke up and was like fuck I can’t do another game article but damn I forgot how good Pink Floyd was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have generic tests for the intelligence of birds.

  Most famously used on Crows/Parrots, Seagulls are smarter than average and can solve some advanced puzzles, but they’re mostly below Corvids or Parrots. We’ve also tested their memory, they only care about food and can remember places they’ve gotten food and even the faces of people who they’ve got food from year to year, but we don’t think over too much longer periods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck finding that in any large or even mid-size company. If you think you found one, good chance you probably just found one with a lot of Shadow IT and poor visibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bet you don't know this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some days there’s not a lot to go around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They already faked a suicide for a dude in prison to keep that info from getting out, that’s a hell of a warning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm cooked, chat.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

  Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

  You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  has anyone pushed Raspberry Pi 5 to the point of reliable transcoding for a household of 2-3 people?

  People definitely have and you can physically do that now… but from experience, you’ll likely be happier doing almost anything else. I wouldn’t consider it if you want those 2-3 streams to occasionally occur simultaneously. Although, reminder that the best plan is to consider ways where you don’t need to transcode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst thing he does that we know of seems to be trying to collect the fastest iteration of every type of vehicle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some are estimating around $800, but Steam has commented that affordability is a primary focus.

  I feel like they’ve got to beat console prices. I’m hoping we see prices similar to steam deck at launch complete with varying tiers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute zero is almost always colder than sub-zero.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re making a Kelvin joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Perfect Picture of Helth⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It contains at least one whole wheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus side, the increase in functionality with technitium is drastic. Down side, the increase in functionality is drastic…

  You can do everything you’d want to do with pihole with technitium instead, but there’s a lot of additional advanced features that will have you reading a lot of documentation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are, but the mapping functionality drastically increases how well the vacuum works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because of Enterprise contracts, for the things you can check off with HIBP… 4 grand is not a lot for them. But, then also if you offer a separate plan and just say ‘no enterprise, we trust you’, many businesses will just ignore the enterprise plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safebox: Open-source framework for managing self-hosted apps (Beta)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, you might be right, it looks like there are plans for a premium subscription service with pay walled features after the beta is over.

  Hard pass.

  He’s still not technically wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And, I totally get that! It’s like yeah, I know how to setup a symlink to probably make that work, but you know what’s a lot easier than that… Just not doing that and just having it work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sad in a way but I kinda feel like proton is going to near wipe out the very few Linux native ports we get. It’s so much easier and more stable than trying to build and package for Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are third party services to handle that and some have been operating for a long time… with no action coming from reddit.

  There have also been rumors of special directives to help maintain corporate presence on subreddits/etc. Things like upvote/downvote fudging on AMAs and other items focusing on areas with lots of business visibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake out now and Steam Deck Playable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Square Enix game, so they’re asking for full new game price, $60 US, and it also utilizes Denuvo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are in the same family as hops, interesting beer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve had storylines that fleshed out Bruce, two faces origin being one of the more popular ones, but I think the popular story is that Bruce is just an exaggerated character batman plays. Bruce doesn’t really exist anymore. Even the stories where we see batman costume free, the connections that seem real feel like they’re connecting to batman just with his mask off.

  I’m also with you on your last point even if I think you were being sarcastic, personally not sure how the story of batman makes sense if he has a mutual loving support structure in his life. It would be interesting to see batman happy, but it just feels kind of like a story ender.

  I’d still give your idea a read if it was made, but I’m definitely coming into it feeling kinda wary.

  It’s been awhile since I played Godus, but I don’t remember micro transactions. May have forgotten, but remember it just being a super simplified version of populous. I only played in early access though, not sure on changes or if it ever had a full release.

  They already do that for bedrock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people are confused because the difference between mount on access and mount on boot is meaningless for 98% of people. I can think of reasons to need the latter, but not many.
