Honestly a reasonable reaction from Bubblegum. Why go to a Globetrotters game and then complain about them doing Globetrotters stuff?
Would you watch a documentary and then complain about a silky British voiceover? Or a soap opera and complain about the hazy look of it? Or a musical when you can see the actor scurrying away after “dying” (hint, they don’t actually die)

The former is also kinda cheating because Doom was actually running on an external controller just using the display on the pregnancy test to display the game.
- Comment on Based tesla user??? 20 hours ago:
Its honestly blown my mind that it’s taken this long to get something that’s even somewhat competitive with the Tesla’s.
Like a Model 3 is $35k, has a near perfect safety score, can go like ~360 miles on a charge, and is a 4 door sedan.
Let’s look at some competitors why don’t we?
- BMW i3 has a 4 star rating, gets like ~300 miles range, and costs $60k
- Honda Prologue does have a 5 star rating, but it only gets ~300 miles range, and is a SUV, it also starts at $50k
- BYD HAN (the only one i could see on their website in the states) only gets “300+ miles” on a charge, but it supposedly only costs around $30k. I also couldn’t find any safety information that didn’t come from the Chinese government so I wont comment on that.
Obviously Musk is a bad guy and you shouldn’t give him money and all that. But it seems like the legacy manufacturers are like 3-4 years behind, and that’s the smallest the gap has ever been.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 day ago:
It just makes me laugh because they have a “!” At the end of their name. It just looks kinda goofy, kinda like when influencers have sponsored posts and they include the “™” in their copy haha
That being said, PopOS! is actually a great os.
- Comment on It's a fun new game 1 week ago:
No you either don’t understand math in general or how to follow instructions.
Because as written, these are two wholly separate operations. So there’s no “order” to them except linearly.
And even if you wrote it out, you still couldn’t end up with 0 unless your card number is 0.

Most OSes will let you do it but
2025.01.01.pngcould have issues compared to2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it’s a little clearer what the file type actually is.Its just a little pedantic thing I’ve picked up after years of being a sysadmin.
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 1 week ago:
I like dashes because they work better than dots or slashes for file names.
- Comment on YouTube expands its pilot to some top creators of tech that detects the AI-generated likenesses of famous people and declares support for the US' NO FAKES ACT. 1 week ago:
A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like “Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren’t awful”.
I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).
The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.
- Comment on This is unfair! 2 weeks ago:
Damn that’s a shame. My team would also do this like once a month and the buffet we went to absolutely loved us. They would keep the party room open for us and prepare extra food the night before. Hell the owners came to some of the bigger meets too when they could.
Then someone drove a semi truck through the front of the building (nobody was hurt, it was overnight) and they never reopened :(

Plus Saving Private Ryan directly allowed him to make Band of Brothers which is easily one of the best wat shows of all time.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
October is when security patches for windows 10 will stop. Its when it goes full out of support. LTSB will continue getting security patches for a couple years though.
- Comment on Based on a true story 3 weeks ago:
Its still sometimes possible. Manufacturers will periodically run 0% interest loans specials for people who qualify. Tesla (don’t actually buy one) runs the deals all the time actually.

- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 3 weeks ago:
someone who promotes a product while hiding the fact that they’ve been paid
Streamers generally say “this is a sponsored stream”
So by your own definition streamers are generally not shills?
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 3 weeks ago:
My buddy is a little streamer (gets maybe a few dozen viewers) and he got early access to it as well. Although he doesn’t add any fake hype, he’s just a very good hype man.

I figured there was a way to measure that small of weight but I didn’t know!
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 3 weeks ago:
So 1 inch of your wire would weigh ~0.0987 grams, so to measure down to 8.6350242338508 inches of wire your scale would need to weigh down to ~0.00000000000007 grams. Which is the weight of about a dozen atoms or so.

That’s because they’re called “teams groups” not “teams for teams” ;)
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 4 weeks ago:
Honestly thats just a user problem, not a Teams one.
Just limit it to files and forms and stuff like that, and explain to users that the teams folders, SharePoint, and the files on their computer are all the same.

Idk I like outlook. Its more feature rich and reliable than any other client Ive used. Especially since basically every company uses Echange for email.
- Comment on OneNote to perish alongside Windows 10. 4 weeks ago:
The only thing that’s been keeping me on OneNote is the handwriting stuff. I keep trying to move to Obsidian cause I like it but I take notes on my iPad constantly. As much or more than on my computer.
And I really like how OneNote will take my chicken scratch and use OCR to turn it into actual text.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 4 weeks ago:
Prusa is based in Prague, and according to some quick googling the average software developer in Prague makes 88k CZK (~3800 USD or ~3500 eur), so about 526 CZK/hr (~22/hr in both USD and EUR).
Which means they’ve potentially spent around 76.7 million CZK (~3.3 million USD, ~3 million EUR) into their slicer. Just for salaries.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 4 weeks ago:
This. The proprietary 3d printers arent the “enshitification” of 3d printers, they’re what’s finally going to make them go “mainstream”.
Tech people need to remember how deep into these hobbies we really are, especially compared to “normies”.
Its like with computers, people go “oh well you can get a better bang for your buck on your memory by not going with apple!”. Which sounds great and everything until you remember that people don’t know what memory is or what it does, let alone how to buy new memory, or how to disassemble a computer, or where the memory goes, or even why more memory can be good for you.
I compare it to fabric crafts because I don’t know shit about them. I know (well, think) fabric is sold in bolts and that’s about it. Hell I don’t even know how much a bolt is, and we haven’t even gotten to the different types of fabrics or ways to utilize them.
The vast majority of people don’t want a 3d printer hobby, they just want to 3d print stuff. And the Bambu printers are as close to that as I’ve seen so far.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 4 weeks ago:
a few days after a bomb explodes, most of the radiation would have depleted.
I know this is a settled fact, and supported by the fact that Japan had rebuilt both cities in under 6 years. But I wanted hard facts on this. Which, as it turns out, is really hard to find. I see a lot of reports basically echo what you said but nobody seems to have actually really measured this.
The best sources I found was this document from the which claims that soil radiation fell from 4.31 micro Curries per cm3 in hour 3, to just 0.23 half a day later, and 3.1x10(-5) 45 days later.
This site from the Japanese government claims that 24hrs after detonation the radiation at ground zero was 1/1000th of what it was immediately after.

Most car badges aren’t actually plated anyways, they could save themselves a whole lot of trouble and just get some chrome spray paint and make it shiny still
