Yeah, there are plenty of Jedi who can beat Anakin, but I think if you normalize for experience, he was easily the strongest of any of his peers. He should have seen being allowed to sit in on the council at his age as an enormous honor. But of course, he’s the egotist supreme, and he had unwise words being whispered in his ear.
Also, in the fight with Dooku, it seems likely to me that Palpatine somehow invisibly sabotaged him once Obi-Wan was down. Palps wanted that to end with both Dooku AND Obi-Wan dead.
Tap for spoiler
I mean the truth is the movies are just poorly written and wildly inconsistent, but whatever lol

- Comment on that's just science 1 week ago:
I mean, honestly, it actually might be. It’s certainly how evolution did it. We’re basically programmed to have genetic drifts if the population gets too low, making more likely for the reproducing population to find a new niche. So while it would be hilariously immoral, and also probably produce A LOT more of the worst minds, you produce enough genetic freaks and eventually one of em is gonna be a megagenius

In a similar boat, I’ve thought about that but if I ever upgraded to a stronger real centralized PC I’d have to do a bunch of Docker setup and if anything breaks my whole system would go down. As it is, with piecemeal shitass laptops each running individual services I get lots of redundancy!

I’m glad he does post, and it’s better than nothing, but I don’t see him interact on mastodon much. I think his posts are just mirrored from bluesky

- Comment on Steam Machine and Steam Frame delays are the latest product of the RAM crisis 4 weeks ago:
Weren’t prices already spiking when they made the announcement? Not to mention tariffs change on a daily basis… I was surprised to hear Valve announce new hardware this year at all, less so that it’s being delayed. They’re either gonna have to walk back their “under $1000” claim, or delay it again. Or just take some losses, they do have the money for it, but I know they won’t.

Zero of those guys get taxed for that reason. How many billions of dollars are going untaxed into the hands of the wealthiest people so the government can cancel this solar project and deny healthcare to that worker?
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 2 months ago:
of course i know, or id have put my money where my mouth is, and ram alone is too pricey for that now. id have to get a new motherboard too. i love my op cpu, this pc rocks when it’s working (which is 99% of the time), but when training time comes it’s still frustrating that the new shit is so busted for me

Honestly I think DDR4 is the right call for an everyday-use PC anyway. I might be showing my ignorance here, but when I upgraded my PC I got DDR5-6000 and the memory training times are INSANE. The first few times I tried to boot I wound up restarting because 5 mins after hitting the button it still hadn’t shown the manufacturer’s logo and I assumed it was busted. Once it finally does finish the training, it usually doesn’t have to do it again for a while… but sometimes it does! Totally randomly (as far as I can tell), I’ll go for a quick reboot, maybe swapping from my Linux install back over to Windows or something, and what should be a 15 second wait is now suddenly a full 5+ minutes.
Near as I can tell, DDR5 Just Does That Sometimes??? How is that an upgrade!? I guess I’m probably seeing some performance gains from the faster timing, but man, sometimes I think I’d trade it in exchange for never having to wait on a black screen for minutes at a time.

Easy, just switch the two. There’s no way we’d all spend years confused about which sport anyone is talking about!

I really wouldn’t make mind heavier traffic enforcement in residential areas. Seems like across the whole country, we have super low limits on highways, and a super high one in neighborhoods, where it actually matters. Not to mention the enforcement seems to only happens on highways as well; can’t remember ever seeing someone pulled over for speeding through a neighborhood, but I see it happen all the time.
And on top of all that, even though more neighborhood enforcement would be nice… Flock is clearly not the way to do it

Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

It's not only about trying to get trolls to drop their bullshit (which, you're right, is a nearly impossible task) but also trying to keep the trolls from dragging other people down into crazytown. At the very least, suing people for spreading bullshit like this might dissuade others from following their example if they see there are consequences

- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 5 months ago:
The big difference is that hacky shit in Linux almost always happens because of oversights, whereas Windows actively fights you on things you want to do. This means that a solution that worked for some forum poster 10 years ago has a pretty good chance of still working today (if it's even still necessary), whereas Microsoft would see that fix as a bug and try to "patch" it. You would never have the fuck around like this just to get your default browser to be, y'know, the default.
Not to mention trying to troubleshoot Windows always means having to browse through a half dozen forum posts of people having your exact problem, but the only replies are some IT script that takes 3 paragraphs to tell you to reinstall whatever program, with no follow up when that inevitably doesn't work.

I'm too lazy to look it up right now but there have definitely been cheaters in Rocket League. The fact that it isn't a shooter is actually made it easy to cheat in; when there's no precedent for what cheating even looks like, how do you spot it? I remember a few years ago there was a whole scandal where it turned out someone who was famous for making trickshots had some kind of bot that was able to calculate exactly how to hit the ball midair and send it into the goal.

I don't think the "choosing a server" thing has been a serious roadblock for years, if it ever was. Most people just pick The Big One anyway. If they knew enough to care about distributing users properly among instances, they probably wouldn't be intimidated by picking

While the the letters are adjacent, I don't think that was a typo. "Finna" is pretty common slang, just a variant of "gonna"
