  For me it’s YouTube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sailfish’s GUI is proprietary. I’d rather have a fully FOSS system (or rather, however much is possible).

  Then “Aryan Barrel” when they go full mask-off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally wait until 1-2 gens later when the console is very cheap to buy. Other than that, I play on PC since most new games are also released on PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The day Return became Enter⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure about that. Even the IBM 5150, which is the computer where DOS was first released, had a video card come as standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck blocking Tor or I2P.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lucky for Mastodon anx other ActivityPub projects, they don’t need to host any servers. People outside of regions where age verification is required can host the servers instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So my medium rare chicken recipe is dangerous?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss the time when the president wearing a tan suit was the biggest scandal in politics.

  Is there any modern country that doesn’t have mass surveillance?

  Not just storage, but bandwidth.

  Pfft. It’s not even 2024.

  Well, they don’t have mouths, and therefore they cannot scream.

  This, but unironically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing that takes significant amounts of time to accomplish is easy. Many people go to school specifically to learn about FPGA development (Computer Engineering students specifically).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An FPGA is essentially a reprogrammable computer chip, or integrated circuit (IC), that can behave as another computer chip. It is widely used in the development of new ICs.

  The MiSTer FPGA project uses an off-the-shelf Altera DE10-nano development board, which has a combo FPGA + ARM SoC on it. The OS, USB controller input, and some other stuff runs on the ARM core, and the FPGA is reprogrammed upon launching a core to behave as closely as possible to the original hardware that it’s emulating.

  FPGAs can either be pre-programmed or programmed on-the-fly. In consumer hardware, FPGAs and CPLDs (essentially weak FPGAs) are used when you need an IC produced in small scale, or when you need to be able to change the functionality of the IC with updates.

  People know so much because they take the time to learn, and it does take a lot of time and patience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These anti-cheats don’t even work. Anyone can go out and buy a hardware DMA card with an FPGA on it, which is basically a modern day Action Replay. It has full access to RAM and cheaters like to use then to get around anti-cheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux isn’t necessarilly immune. A game could easilly ask the user to install a DKMS module.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck Clippy. Clippy represents Microsoft’s monopolistic practices in the office suite space by using proprietary formats and making sure ODF was less supported.

  We should have a different character that annoyingly explains things instead, like Navi or Omochao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. We only had one once-in-a-lifetime market crashes under W instead of… I lost count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Net neutrality advocates won’t appeal loss, say they don’t trust Supreme Court⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fascists speaking out of both sides of their mouths? Unheard of!

  Adam Sandler predicted this event a while ago.

  Idk if being in a cult is considered a mental illness. I’d liken it more to brainwashing.
