That’s why they’re called velociraptors.
- Comment on We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life 1 week ago:
Gavin Newsom is basically neoliberalism incarnate.
- Comment on The other one is "who deserves food" and you fail if you dont click all the boxes 2 weeks ago:
Jokes on you. I don’t recognize any country because I believe in a stateless society.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 3 weeks ago:
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 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Good luck blocking Tor or I2P.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 weeks 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.

So my medium rare chicken recipe is dangerous?

I miss the time when the president wearing a tan suit was the biggest scandal in politics.
- Comment on Think NSA surveillance is bad? Come to Denmark—their surveillance includes your DNA. Literally. 4 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Yeah. We only had one once-in-a-lifetime market crashes under W instead of… I lost count.
