  Ultimately, the end game will be certain websites (like your Bank) won’t trust your identity because your using some FOSS verification service and as “they take security seriously” will require you to use MS or Google.

  You can see parts of this already. When I’m browsing the web in Linux I get hot with way more captcha checks when accessing websites than when using Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there is a line coming with hardware and software and that will be the last of it’s type as the move towards subscription based services is forced onto everyone. Its a shame people won’t vote with their wallets. It just means I’ll have my basement crammed with old tech and I’ll go full old man mode and stop keeping up with technological progress.

  Why is there a giant ficking bubble blocking the text on the screen telling me to swipe to the next article?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought cheap tires from Walmart for both cars and the toms failed on both cars.

  That’s a crazy story. Glad you didn’t get caught up in their incompetence. Do you still do business with them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because having one thing is never good. IA goes down then what? Also archive.today captures websites differently which can work in a pinch when IA fails to archive a site.

  Steal copyrighted content so you can sell a product that stomps all over people’s personal creativity (fan fiction).

  I can see that. I probably only enjoyed it because I hunted down the story in the other sources provided. I also enjoyed the fishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  final fantasy 15 sucked so much

  Why you gotta diss my boys like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks way better. The other game doesn’t look like a Castlevania game. COuld just be the art direction isn’t for me but I prefer the HD-pixel art and detailed backgrounds here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks great. Kind of how is think a modern Castlevania game would look. Definitely didn’t think GoW would be the ones to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard the sequel isn’t as good as the first? I pretty much forgot this game existed though. I’ll grab the directors cut on sale.

  Honestly someone should spin up a small web index. You can isolate yourself to a nice corner of the Internet and ignore the rest of the toxic mess.

  Isn’t that a monorail?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still on a 1080p plasma tv. Those old charts showing if you can tell the difference in quality shows at my distance I’d be fine with 720p. Do people sit inches from their 80 inch TV?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memory chip crunch to hit TVs and consumer devices hardest in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Impossible. Only extremely overpriced smart tvs will be available.

  AI ruining something else? I’m shocked!

  Every 3rd car is a Tesla where I am. Many of which are newer models. At this point I feel like people are unable to vote with their wallet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neocities deindexed from Bing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to use start page but this site and others don’t have a forum search.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neocities deindexed from Bing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does kagi do its own indexing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Excited⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have one so I can’t vouch for any sellers. I was just following the development of it when it was first released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Excited⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can mod it with an sd card to avoid any parts failures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I’m really dreading buying a new TV. Been going strong with my plasma for years. I don’t need any “smart” features in a tv. From what I understand you either get a good TV or a “dumb” TV, pick one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Foundry: Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar is a Motion Clarity Revelation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So annoying this is hardware tied to the monitors. This is the new gsync premium tax. The vast number of features monitors can have these days make it a proposition of Goldilocks proportions.

  Discord didn’t play nice with Linux for me. It wouldn’t update and then discord wouldn’t let me sign in. Had to go thru a multi step process each update to fix it. Only discord did this.
