He reads like heavy cope.
- Comment on Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers 8 hours ago:
Awesome choice but one crucial detail is that commercial use requires a license.
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 1 day ago:
There will be a demand but I wouldn’t bet on that demand being the most popular.
- Comment on I just realized there is not really a for "cuddling" in Chinese Languages... probably a reflection of the lack of Public Display of Affection in Chinese Culture... 2 days ago:
Typically something you do lying down, or sitting. All of these are cuddling: Image
Hugs can be a part of cuddling, but cuddling is more than a hug.
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 2 days ago:
You don’t. If you’re serious about weight loss you need to commit long term.

This is so wrong it hurts. Your body cannot synthesize muscle from fat.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 4 days ago:
It’s one way but not the only way. They make money from developers before they even write a single line of code, every year.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
They’ll never read nor act on this feedback, but here’s my list:
- drop the AI
- drop the ads
- stop pushing services, namely cloud
- stop requiring Microsoft accounts
Honestly win10 was great when it dropped. Not sure why we needed 11.
- Comment on This kid gets it 4 days ago:
I have a hard time making conclusive statements in various subjects precisely because of how many unknowns there are. And the more I learn the larger that discrepancy grows. I am utterly baffled how anyone can be a politician and make these broad general statements as if they’re fact on multiple topics all at once. Then people eat it up and build identities around it. I feel like I’m crazy.
- Comment on This kid gets it 4 days ago:
In my 20+ years in the corporate world now it seems that everything is just a sale. Every transaction (business to business, business to consumer, employee to business, employee to employee) is a sales pitch. The quality of the transaction matters less than the sale itself.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 4 days ago:
Perhaps I’m in a minority but when the PS and 360 first debuted I did not consider even the NES to be “retro”. I would have applied that term to the likes of an Atari 2600 or colecovision.

Lol no.

Fake news. We replaced over 99% of the mass of the entire solar system with LEDs.

- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 week ago:
Replaced?! 😂
Your friend is beyond repair. Cut your losses.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
In 2010 the pioneer and Panasonic plasmas had no rival in the tv space. LEDs were far from comparable. LEDs were cheaper mostly, which helped their adoption.
- Comment on Some hacker in thigh-high striped socks should take one for the team and release the Epstein Files 2 weeks ago:
The rule of law means nothing. The truth is whatever they want it to be. These files won’t change a thing.
- Comment on Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension 2 weeks ago:
I’m definitely not knowledgeable enough to contrast and compare linux distros but I’ll chime in with my experience for two years now on Pop!_OS.
So far, I’m super happy! Was simple to install and setup. Aside from Photoshop, there’s nothing I miss, and when in a pinch I’ve got photopea ready to go. I’ve got steam on there for gaming with little to no issues. My ds4 Bluetooth works out of the box, better than it did on windows. The options for how to install apps are great (love the pop shop ‘app store’).
I do a lot of go development using vscode (happy to try an alternative but the go ecosystem and plugin support is fantastic for vscode) and it’s smooth sailing.
My biggest hiccups were trying to use experimental nvidia drivers but rolling back to stable releases wasn’t too painful.
- Comment on YSK: listening to audiobooks and reading books both activate the same language related areas of the brain 2 weeks ago:
Audio books aren’t my cup of tea but I’m extremely glad they’re picking up in popularity for those that enjoy them. Stay literate everyone!
- Comment on GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality" 3 weeks ago:
Valves competitors love to complain. Compete or don’t, the whining is lame as fuck.
- Comment on A complete tier list for our solar system 3 weeks ago:
Anywhere you could land and walk around should be considered a world.
That would disqualify the gas giants. I think the criteria needs workshopping…
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 3 weeks ago:
Needs more games. Next mainline Zelda or Mario and I’m in. Was never a DK fan and Mario kart isn’t enough.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 3 weeks ago:
Honestly curious why you believe otherwise. Termination without cause is absolutely allowed, and again, comes with legal provisions for the employee. In Ontario, Canada, for example, this manifests in severance pay.
I’m not super well versed in EU practices so perhaps it’s even more strict but fundamentally if a company cannot afford to retain an employee they must have the ability to let them go.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 3 weeks ago:
You can’t exactly force a company to employ someone. Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free to terminate. The termination would come with all sorts of employee benefits of course.
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 3 weeks ago:
Depends. If you’re in a metropolitan city modern condo, there’s a good chance water is provided for all by the condo corp. The condo corp pays the city and adjusts the yearly budgets accordingly, which are then used to determine condo fees. So indirectly every resident pays for the water.

Ginger the cockatiel might not be recognizable to other birds, but her Cookie song was certainly enjoyed by many.

You lost me at crafter. Zero interest in that kind of gameplay.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 4 weeks ago:
RV There Yet isn’t really that chill. It’s also highly frustrating at times.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 4 weeks ago:
I reject the lazy argument. It could just as easily be applied in reverse. The person using it should make sure. Simple.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
If I’ve got three+ browser instances open the distinction is incredibly useful.
