- Comment on Social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in Turkey 1 week ago:
Nothing of value to be found outside the few people that actually give a fuck making YouTube videos
Maybe where you live. Massively popular platforms like these are pretty good at gathering people for rallies/protests and spreading investigations, news and fundraisers.
Best case scenario is people switch to decentralized media, worst case - the momentum for their rallies is ruined and ppl get arrested for saying the wrong things online. Then (most likely) these platforms get unblocked and everyone forgets about it.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
Makes sense, blurays are at like 50MB/s read, at least you could keep the disc and share it
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
I think that’s a bit too big to be just the OS, they have like 50GB of built-in stuff (share factory+astro but you can uninstall both). It’s probably something sensible like 60GB but they’re playing it safe by doubling the reserved space. It’s Sony after all
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
You lose some because 825GB refers to 825.000.000.000 bytes, divide by 1024 and you get 768GB usable space. In the early days of ps5 there was 667GB left over after OS and stuff
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
You can still get modern games on a bluray, but people started valuing convenience in the moment over everything else. That’s why digital-only consoles got so huge, on top of being cheaper.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
I mean… you can still use physical media for games, just prepare for it to be awfully slow unless it’s like a tiny indie game or something low-fi. As for the console makers, they still offer non-digital models. Idk who’s “they” in this instance,
- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 1 week ago:
In exists because too many people install and use versions with edge

Fun fact, previous Mazda 2 was sold as a Yaris in the US, then they swapped and the new Yaris is sold as a Mazda 2 in some european countries
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t the try something similar in 2042 but on their own servers?
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 1 month ago:
We wouldn’t have several full games is my point
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t be so sure. Modern AAA games are insanely big and resource-intensive. Just look at rdr2

It’s a screenshot from a vertical video, it doesn’t look much better anyway, I linked it in this thread

There’s a video of a guy looking at both of those statues, linked it in my other comment while I’m looking for a higher res version. Too stable for ai
- Comment on Seen in a public bathroom. What am I missing? 1 month ago:
It’s not a normal bathroom, found it on some random website, doesn’t seem like a typically planned room lol
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 1 month ago:
On the flip side, it’s given it insane longevity and made it feel more modern. Playing singleplayer feels so annoying at times because of their arbitrary rules (which are still in online, but toned down a little) and gameplay/mission design.
At least GTAO showed everyone rockstar’s true nature, and you couldn’t turn away or say that it’s a small alternative game mode.
So shoutout to online and 5 as a whole for showing me enough to avoid all future rockstar titles lol - Comment on There are too many cases where this applies or is going to apply 1 month ago:

- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 1 month ago:
I mean the lack of privacy directly fucking them over. They have already proven to be unable to extrapolate actions leading to consequences beyond like 1 or 2 steps.

Didn’t HMD make a couple of those too? Obv not the same country of origin but from what I’ve seen they’re considerably cheaper
- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 1 month ago:
I don’t think these people will ever realize anything, until it severely fucks with their quality of life at least

Because there’s one more enrichment facility, this time owned by a shithead? Come on

enriched uranium is not a nuke by itself
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 1 month ago:
*illegal shit would not be protected.
They can push for some law that makes certain groups or their depictions illegal. Then it’s their morals becoming a law.
If there’scorruptionlobbying, there’s a way for them to twist “illegal” into “immoral”, which is fucked. - Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 1 month ago:
If you think about it, they’ve been doing that for a while with experimental life extending stuff, of course now they’re a bit more likely not to die with modern medicine being so good
- Comment on LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th 2 months ago:
Not having DRM is better for piracy. So in a way they’re helping “true preservation” more than other platforms that allow DRM.
- Comment on Ukraine Unveils Pocket-Sized Net Launcher to Take Down FPV Drones 2 months ago:
Yep, that one. I saw it on their telegram first, they make a similar system for quads too
- Comment on Ukraine Unveils Pocket-Sized Net Launcher to Take Down FPV Drones 2 months ago:
Ptashka Systems make a reusable one. A bit more expensive but the net cartridges themselves are less than half the price of Tenet’s launcher. Same net size too.
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 months ago:
You don’t have to accept pairing, if both devices are discoverable they can see each other. It doesn’t have to be some app, you can be discoverable with 0 apps installed. That’s what I’m talking about with rudimentary tracking.

Exactly, did anyone here think non-fictional billionaires could ever be cool? After developing critical thinking skills that is.
- Comment on As China prepares to invade Taiwan, a reality check: sitting on the sidelines won’t help Australia 2 months ago:
If there’s anything they learned from the three day “special operation” - it’s this. It’s way easier if they can avoid direct military action.
