- Comment on Meta’s own research found parental supervision doesn’t really help curb teens’ compulsive social media use 6 days ago:
That’s not really parental supervision though. Knowing what kind of content that exists and that a child can interact with should be one of the most important considerations when allowing kids to access something. Not just the amount of time in a period they are allowed to do so.

I can’t imagine how “parental supervision” could exist without understanding how to use what they are supervising.
- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 1 week ago:
As much as I think nintendo and the pokemon company are evil shits, I do believe overall pokemon go was net positive for humanity.
The physical health benefit from all those people walking around, and the mental health benefits from said populations being more social and friendly with others won’t ever show a statistic for lives saved, but I think it’s reasonable to assume lives will be saved from extra exercise and positive social interactions.

Can’t interfere with that revenue growth
Shareholders need to be held accountable for the unethical, immoral and illegal activities of their owned businesses. Until there is a financial incentive for business to be run ethically, morally and legally for the shareholders, nothing will ever change. It is perhaps the biggest problem with capitalism today.
- Comment on Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy 1 week ago:
There’s going to be latency because the NIC on both ends still communicates with copper to the rest of the computer system(s.)
Still going to be faster than a fiber connection or copper. Not to mention the latency induced by say the IEX Magic Box.

It’s certainly frustrating pointing out obvious end results and seeing all the fanboys and normies call you a conspiracy theorist or just dunk on you.
There’s no such thing as privacy anymore. People still believe it exists, but it’s dead and gone.

- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 2 weeks ago:
I’m well aware, but everybody knows the HBM demand will dry up eventually and that eventually the consumer market will be worth trying to profit from again.
They just want to manipulate the consumer market to maximize margins. If they can get memory prices to stay at 200-300% for a while, they can up the prices they charge and raise margins to stratospheric heights not before seen on the consumer market. All manufacturers jump on stuff like this when they can get away with it.
Memory manufacturers still order from micron directly for their own branded chips. Those margins will increase for all parties. Ai data center demand is like Christmas for the entire industry. No pricing is transparent and every vendor is profiteering.

Not at microcenter. Their bundles are full of crucial chips. Just built one for a buddy last week.

The transition period from the 90s to mid 2000s for control schemes was so fragmented. I remember a dozen games with wildly different control schemes. Wasn’t until the late 2000s when things started getting more standardized to what we know today.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 2 weeks ago:
I think they’re already too big to fail. They captured the entire market. There’s no real competitor with any kind of noticeable fraction of the market share.
The closest thing to a competitor are business products similar to slack or teams. None of those have anything close to feature parity like high quality streaming at no cost.
I would gladly host something myself, but I can’t do it all. IMO this needs a lemmy equivalent with decentralized hosting or something.

Of course, but they also derive demographic information from all the texts, links, communities you interact with.
Now they’ll have verifiable racial characteristics to target you with customized ads that look like you. It’s definitely more effective.
It’s a horrible company that preys on youth.

Herse? They got done doing dat.

It would be really nice to have extreme endgame goals of watering the entire map, eliminating badwater that is unmanaged, storing a couple of years’ worth of water consumption, etc etc.
I will say I don’t even bother dealing with their inter-zone logistics too. I just make one big zone for the whole map and suffer through the long travel times. Makes so much of it infinitely easier to deal with. I don’t have these multi-thousand-beaver saves though like some folks do though, so maybe it changes at that scale.

It’s all about getting over the hump, once you’re set and don’t worry about floods or droughts there’s just no challenge to overcome or objective to attain. Becomes a sandbox really long before you get to the end of tech.

- Comment on Day 567 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried 4 yet. I’ve never really been obsessed and the groups I used to play through the originals with are long gone in terms of availability to play together and push through. Maybe it’s just my demographic and the realities of being an adult setting in. I’ll pick it up eventually though, probably in some kind of crazy deal once all the DLC is done and included like I did with 3.
I still miss the rare gun grinds for BL2 and the amazing builds. Peak borderlands for me for sure. Didn’t touch the spinoff(s) or most of the DLCs over the years simply because the only way to get my friend circles on board is playing around release time when hype is strong.
Next up is Nioh 3 though, with a satisfactory play through ongoing. So many amazing games nowadays. Borderlands pioneered a lot of combined systems that exist in these games. Satisfactory has it’s own roulette with hard drives. Nioh is absolutely going hard with the looter… martial arts…action and super abilities from the yokai side. Nothing but love for the BL franchise. I still remember them handing out the psycho class at pax east, back when giveaways actually happened for the masses at expos.
- Comment on 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital 3 weeks ago:
Keep on moving those goalposts. Now you’re claiming I think the US is innocent or a good country. lol
They don’t do a fraction of what they should do. There’s way too many ignorant fucks in this country letting countless wealthy assholes do whatever they want. It’s disgusting.
I think the poorest in the US, the ones working shitty retail jobs, have it much better than they possibly realize. Don’t get me started on the vast excesses of wealth afforded to the middle class or anybody making more than median.
Odds are you have some serious privilege too, just because you’re on here with the rest of us.

Yep. Food assistance for everyone. My parent was on it when I was young. My wife’s family has been on it at times after losing a house to a natural disaster and their workplace closing from going out of business.
It’s nice to have social programs that prop up the vulnerable.
