- Comment on Money. Why does THAT work? 1 day ago:
This was a pretty good series on the subject. He goes into what “currency” is right at the beginning
- Comment on Of all the "Christmas Carol" movies this is the best version 1 day ago:
Respectfully, I disagree
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 6 days ago:
most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives
Let me play Lost Odyssey on PC you cowards

Timesplitters 2 is a masterpiece
- Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing 1 week ago:
Generally, they know you’re using a VPN because of where your traffic is coming from.
They probably block Digital Ocean’s IP pool as a whole as it’s often a hub for cybercrime and it would only affect a fraction of users.

- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 weeks ago:
What those EU governments are doing is out of interest for national security rather than hate for licensing. The US has changed drastically in the last decade and getting your sensitive data out of their infrastructure is a top priority.
The cost of change from Windows to Linux is pretty small for an individual. Most people have one or two machines and a handful of programs, none of which are critical to your continued existence.
In the corporate world, you need to be absolutely sure that everything will work flawlessly, which often means weeks or months of testing on top of all your regular IT duties, constant support tickets to obscure software vendors who may not have ever worked with Linux, and if some mission-critical piece of software breaks, then the company cannot operate until it is fixed…or you can continue to use Windows, even though it sucks more now.
I want Linux to have wider adoption in the desktop space, but it’s a catch 22. People aren’t going to move unless the software is guaranteed to work, and Linux-based software isn’t going to be made unless people are using it. This is why Proton was such a big deal. It offered a real option for gaming to move to the platform and now it’s viable and devs are starting to take linux into account.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft is bleeding power users and PC enthusiasts at an unprecedented rate. This is a great thing for Linux, but they are still absolutely locked into the corporate world and that’s where the money is.
The reality is that Microsoft solved management of corporate policy and identity like 25 years ago and nothing else has come close. It has its problems, but Active Directory is an incredible piece of software. The combination of LDAP, with obfuscation of Kerberos to the point where you don’t even need to know it exists, combined with policy deployment to endpoints is nothing short of a miracle.
Linux has tools for all those things, but none are easy to deploy or configure. If you have to manage thousands of desktops, Windows is still the clear choice
- Comment on How System76 & Red Hat Hope To Finally Improve The Linux Multi-GPU Experience 2 weeks ago:
This is cool, but I would much rather the opposite.
I want to have good GPU passthrough to VMs while still being able to use the GPU on the host system.
- Comment on You don't even need the other 4 points. You're fine. 3 weeks ago:
I mean, depending on the situation, and this is much harder for neurodivergents, that’s not the worst advice.
Chances are you’re making a much bigger deal about the situation than it realistically is. The consequences for failing to meet expectations are probably not as bad as you’re imagining. Taking a step back to look at the situation holistically can sometimes break you out of the spiral
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 weeks ago:
Then the answer becomes to get those things without paying someone to show you ads.
When the illegal choice becomes the objective best experience, you’re just a savvy consumer.
- Comment on I didn't verify the headline. 3 weeks ago:
Establishing that good is ferrous or an electric field feels like it should be a heresy
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 3 weeks ago:
This.
The first 10 minutes of any activity after work is by far the hardest, but once you clear that hurdle it’s easy to keep going
- Comment on The Confederacy (or whatever) 3 weeks ago:
There are at least 4 Bad Dragon toys on that shelf. I’d defend them too. Those fuckers are expensive
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
Most people here are recommending controllers with the Xbox layout. They are correct in most cases.
However, if you’re a weirdo like me that mostly plays 2D games, I highly recommend getting a Sony DS5 instead as the Dpad is in a far more ergonomic position for that.
- Comment on what would you do with an old dell server? 3 weeks ago:
For real. I got my hands on a fully loaded PowerEdge 2900 around 2017 and it added almost $100 to my monthly power bill.
- Comment on I'm saying that when you're ready you won't need to dodge Bond James Bond's bullets 3 weeks ago:
I cant fucking tell what is real and what isn’t anymore.
I’m tired, boss.
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 3 weeks ago:
I assure you, the rare security issues for password managers are far preferable to managing compromises every couple weeks.

This is the exact opposite of this comic
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 4 weeks ago:
This seems like promising technology, but the figures they are providing are almost certainly fiction.
This has all the hallmarks of a team of researchers looking to score an R&D budget.
- Comment on Babadook enjoys some wine 4 weeks ago:
To be fair, if you get invited to what is ostensibly a party on Halloween, then it’s expected that you should dress up unless it’s explicitly stated otherwise.
This dude was right and everyone else was wrong.
- Comment on Pronouns history 5 weeks ago:
Having seen the entire run of the 80s show somewhat recently, Adam is at best a bad friend to Cringer and at worst downright abusive.
Like, Cringer has sapience. Full stop. He can talk and everything. Generally he just wants to stay home when Skeletor is up to something. Then Adam rolls by and transforms into He-man and then strips Cringers abnormal intelligence away, turning him into nothing more than a growling beast named Battle Cat that he can ride.
- Comment on GET THAT BREAD 5 weeks ago:
Gold is currently $126,228/ kilo, so assuming the price in the meme is correct its approximately 1:5.74
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 5 weeks ago:
I’m just testing that the calculator works. It’s part of the scientific process, sweaty
- Comment on Thanks, brain 1 month ago:
The part you remembered is the important part, you’re only missing the extra flourish. Overall that’s a much better outcome than the inverse
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 1 month ago:
You joke, but I would absolutely play that
- Comment on Oppa oppa 1 month ago:
No, it just means that you believe that the artist’s intentions are more important than your own interpretation of a given work. It’s the other side of a philosophical debate about the meaning of “art” as a whole.
- Comment on Oppa oppa 1 month ago:
Death of the author is a thing.
Whatever meaning you derive from a piece of art personally is just as valid as the intended meaning
