- Comment on ‘The whole family is destroyed’: Australia’s inheritance disputes aren’t just increasing – they’re becoming messier 3 days ago:
Yea, I suppose what becomes of the money is the tricky part, you need to have a gov you trust in place as well, which is also tricky, because otherwise it’s likely to be stolen. Ideally it would all go to some general wellness fund or distributed to vetted charities.

They’re types of knives, a nakiri is a Japanese knife especially for cutting vegetables :)

My knives aren’t great either, I buy the cheap Kiwi knives from the Asian market, they’re easy to sharpen and I don’t feel like I’m going to mess them up haha. I do have some nicer ones but I use the Kiwi ones most.

Usually I hold the cucumber when I’m slicing it.
- Comment on Adobe Animate is shutting down as company focuses on AI 2 weeks ago:
I guess Adobe will be the tools of corposlop and the rest of us will have to find other stuff to use, luckily I started that process some time ago. It would be sweet if Red Giant and BorisFX ported their video FX to Linux tho.
- Comment on The original FINAL FANTASY VII is getting a new refreshed edition 3 weeks ago:
True, thanks to modders the life of the game has been extended a lot, it was unplayable several years after I bought it but then it was revived thanks to some good folks who improved the game engine and translation and made higher quality textures etc.

These people are literally the new robber barons, they just vacuum up other people’s work in order to turn it into a model and make money off of it, should be illegal, but I guess now our economy is hinged on it. Wild.

- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 2 months ago:
Zero people really need a new phone every two years, that’s crazy. This economy and sadly a lot of jobs are based on some wild idea of endless consumption which is just not sustainable, especially when your customer base is getting poorer by the day.

Yesterday I offhand suggested not using so much soviet imagery in order to make communism and socialism more attractive to people, they really didn’t like that. I mean I understand the symbols have a rich history but so did the swastika. Eh.

Kinda sad, been with MS on PC since MS-DOS 5, by no means a good company, but feels like the end of an era. For me at least. Oh well, see you on Linux, I’ll probably be kicking myself for not switching years ago.

The spirit of Star Trek is incompatible with Paramount’s new MAGA politics, it will be ruined.

As if you can trust a word either of these maniacs say. I can just imagine a meeting, they are both just talking, blah blah blah, but the thoughts in their heads are completely different than what they are saying.
