• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After much careful reflection on this news, here is my response: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  I think I could have written this headline 6 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Help! Our unsustainable behavior of screwing over customers in the name of quarterly profits has finally caught up to us! Turns out there are long term consequences of our behavior, and now Linux can truly go toe-to-toe with Windows on a home desktop!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK just took a harder stance on Banksy than genocide⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the current wall with its ghostly silhouettes of the original art is almost as good as the original piece.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was the biggest fan of Spotify as soon as they started up. I was one of the first people to get early access and was a huge supporter for years.

  Buy your music, own your files, never subscribe for something you can buy instead. You’re not listening to 12 new albums a year, if you can subscribe, you can pay for the files that will be yours forever. The fact that Spotify has higher quality streaming doesn’t change anything.

  Actually, this isn’t useful, so we still let it be called “math”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i 💚 animals.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how “animals” and “engineering” are presented as equivalent in this meme, like “yeah I know these aren’t real sciences or anything but I think they’re cute!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve spent more time waiting for Silksong in the past week than ever before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are stopping shipments to the US - Kiwix⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But they’re a tech company, they don’t transport anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4011⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should use 94011, way more secure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The dude looks like he’s unironically roleplaying his life as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That trailer looks so good, it would have been worth it to wait all these years just for the trailer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m ready to bet you got lost in those mines without crystal heart. Amirite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nooo my genderinos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a career physicist, and I honestly have no idea what a state of matter is anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally )⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but since it’ll run Windows, it’ll have half the battery life and half the frames at the same time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Talk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your reviewer suggests you cite another paper, it’s one of their papers and they just doxed themselves, 100% of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  🧑‍🚀🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🐙

  Always have been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if you had a mole of moles?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a chemistry question in high school about a mole of moles. Everyone got it wrong because Ms. Mulder wasn’t a very good teacher, nor was she good at writing chemistry questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft launches inquiry into claims Israel used its tech for mass surveillance of Palestinians⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How dare you use our SurveilancePro™ software for surveillance of others?!? That software was intended for us to use for surveillance, not anyone else!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on the article, a server is probably a docker container or something like it they spin up and replace each new match. Sounds to me like they deliberately designed around a system that makes a server browser impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s benefits to us not tweaking privacy settings. TOR explicitly discourages it. You don’t (always) get fingerprinted by a single unique item, it’s through an ensemble of data points that companies can identify who you are. There may be 10% of users with your same font library, and 1% who has the same monitor width, and 5% with the same time zone, and voila, when you multiply those percentages, you get close to one in a couple billion, and they’ve successfully fingerprinted you.

  If everyone tweaks their settings from default Firefox, you reveal more information about yourself each time. You may think you’re protecting yourself, but the reality is the opposite, you’re creating a one of a kind browser config. This is where Librewolf can really reign supreme, if we all just use stock Librewolf, no one will be unique, and everyone will be anonymous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their website has a question at the bottom “Are you still interested in Pebble?” And if you click yes, it’ll show you their new models, but there’s also a button for No, which takes you to Google’s latest smart watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Angry Man⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Thanks step-bro”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apart, low in cholesterine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most soda has a pH of like 3, so probably can’t be muchh worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a software developer, when I read that sentence, I head “We want WiFi 8 to continue to improve the standard and be faster, but that’s not a very sexy sales pitch, so we’re gonna pitch it as if AI is the only reason we’re developing better infrastructure.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s kind of the point? Was the comparison between the Na’Vi and native Americans too subtle for you to notice before you saw this meme?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like 6DOF games, check out Everspace 1 and 2.

  Yeah, this meme is ancient. Hope the mom never sold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨boyancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a better story than 4 onwards tbh.
