- Comment on Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine 6 days ago:
Yes, and the Quake 2 engine is one of the greatest software creations of its generation.
The Gamebryo/Creation engine is hot garbage in comparison.
- Comment on Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine 6 days ago:
Skyrim ruins better on Linux in my experience, so probably yes
- Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds 2 weeks ago:
Just sharing my personal experience with this:
I used Gemini multiple times and it worked great. I have some weird symptoms that I described to Gemini, and it came up with a few possibilities, most likely being “Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome”.
My doctor had never heard of it, and only through showing them the articles Gemini linked as sources, would my doctor even consider allowing a CT scan.
Turns out Gemini was right.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 2 weeks ago:
Ventrilo was awful, having huge delay. Also no persistent chat.
TeamSpeak is proprietary and required a license for more than 8 users iirc. Chat might have been persistent?
Mumble was/is king in terms of voice chat. Open source, fully featured, strong certificate based security, best latency. It’s used as backend in many big games, too. No persistent chat, though.
We used IRC for chat and Mumble for voice like 10 years ago when I played Eve Online. Works great!

Contrarily, Win 11 does run Windows apps worse than ever

Hah, didn’t know that

Danish is closer, we call it Tyskland
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 1 month ago:
Most Dutch people I met just call it Holland. We do so in Denmark as well

Yea they did, it was revised to whatever this bs is, which is now also being revised.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 2 months ago:
This is the worst part of YouTube. Just read the manual.
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 2 months ago:
They already pulled back the part about banning VPNs last night.

There’s a good chance this guy is just a moron.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 2 months ago:
In fact, you can emulate every other console with pirated ROMs without anyone batting an eye
- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 2 months ago:
Like what?
SSL is so simple and automatic with certbot.
Then there’s CORS if you really need to load resources from other sites, but you won’t need that for small sites.
Making the backend is easier than ever. It’s much harder to make security mistakes nowadays.
And if you don’t know what you’re doing, just ask an LLM if you made any fuckups…
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 months ago:
Corporate servers will usually have some degree of SIEM implemented, and at least audit log monitoring.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 months ago:
At the same time, taking over exposed machines has never been more difficult.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 months ago:
This. People are overly paranoid nowadays.
I have had SSH open directly to my main PC for 15 years and never had any issues except spam logins.
Same with :443 to my nginx.
- Comment on How customer service jobs be 2 months ago:
Just wondering specifically how it can be so much worse
- Comment on How customer service jobs be 2 months ago:
I wonder why it’s so different in the US compared to my country (Denmark). McDonald’s has been awarded “best workplace” for several years in a row.
We do have much stronger regulations on employee welfare, mostly from unions. And of course much higher pay.
- Comment on How customer service jobs be 2 months ago:
What other societies have similar levels of customer entitlement? I think this is mostly prominent in areas with great inequality.
I have nothing to back this up with except for my own experiences though
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 2 months ago:
Didn’t they just replace it with Google TV at 3x the price?
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 months ago:
What part? The fact that they no longer will be providing Pixel-specific source code?
Who else has been providing the literal OS source code for their devices?
I’m talking about the conspiracy where Google is monitoring your every move, reading all your encrypted messages, and providing backdoors to government entities.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 months ago:
What exactly is insecure about running GrapheneOS?
Or even stock OS on a Pixel? Has any of the conspiracies about Google Play Services ever been proven?
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 months ago:
Depends on the TV. They have an official app on Android TVs, but I still happily use Chromecast for everything

LTT will try to build one
Time for another video of Linus failing to follow basic instructions and going out of his way to break the OS because Linux gaming bad
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 3 months ago:
Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 3 months ago:
Shameful to not link the original series, but I fully agree, it’s definitely pronounced “ownage”, and anyone who says otherwise is a massive noob

Fun fact: pigs are very bad at cooling themselves, which is why they love to get in water or mud on hot days, so actually…
