  Get some grapes nuts it’ll last for months

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Follow the rules!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My 2026 update after the industry wide layoffs over the past couple years would be sysadmin replaced with DevOps, qa and designer replaced with developer, and throw some infosec theater on at the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As software stocks slump, investors debate AI’s existential threat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is curious how business articles never quote labor leaders or people with a larger interest in the commons/public domain than private equity and capital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People with the message and reach to call for mass general strikes and national scale marches on DC still think they can stop fascism with elections. Maybe I’m just too cynical in that regard to see the true situation but it seems after continued release of evidences of impeachable and heinous crimes Congress and the DoJ are firmly on the side of the fascist, pedophile political cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Morrowind would be a GOTY release if it came out today and made it so 1. running stamina loss only happened in combat, 2. low combat skills caused lower damage instead of lots of misses, and 3. draw distance was further than 10 feet away then fog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buttcoin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Infinitely divisible deflationary assets can be used as currency and savings, if enough large markets like grocers, Walmart, Amazon, etc accepted it as payment the price would stabilize against speculative investment like trading in foreign currency. Right now I think it’s overinflated from speculative investment, but the cryptography is secure and public ledger is an improvement I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fascists are doing a hard push on all social media in general ramping up at least since a few weeks ago. Seth Andrew’s thinking atheist channel was dropped for no reason from yt, which by itself isn’t unheard of, but several other popular religious debate channels (deconstruction zone, allegedly Ian, etc) are seeing a huge drop in opposition, religious callers starting at the same time when much of those were coming from TikTok giving them a fair shake at recommendations based on their view counts. Yt is delisting or excluding from search results videos more now instead of demonetizing as well.

  Sounds kinda like coral

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if brains are eggs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re still getting oxygen though through the umbilical blood though, so no gills but still something other than lungs. So like instead of a brain the soul hatchling attaches to a clone or a robot brain or something else to haunt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if brains are eggs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Without any transducers for sensory data into the brain would a soul hatchling be eternally trapped with no external interaction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Tips for a Winter Storm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you do start sliding don’t panic & turn the wheel toward the slide to regain traction & then turn it back towards the direction of travel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doom 2016, never finished it a decade ago and i was felt the need for a twitchy arena shooter. Not going crazy with the secrets just playing blind is a lot of fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine buying a PC and you can only use it with Comcast or att internet for the first year, manufactured trash

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we need more users ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe being able to build, share, and import groups of communities to use as your home communities would help with the new user experience? If you’re into video games here’s a bunch of communities, if you’re into gardening here’s a different set, etc. It would also help promote some of the smaller niche communities most people don’t see without searching or browsing all + scaled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently formulated on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uninhibited by erudition or imagination the fascist mind misapprehends the appearance of their own imperfection and woe as the machinations of their propagandized scapegoats instead of their own shortcomings, and are welcome to take a close observation of the umber hue of my lowest sphincter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Complaining about imaginary regulatory capture for non-existent regulations because 100 billion isn’t enough blood money, also only CEO interview no labor leaders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer to cut the pinky finger off of infants instead. It hasn’t hurt them at all not having a pinky finger, it’s not the whole hand just the tip. And it’s not just cosmetic because I dislike pinky fingers aesthetically, it’s healthier too, do you know how many people get pinky finger infections every year?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GB and GBC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of when I discovered I could put playstation 1 CDs in an audio CD player and they were often setup to play the soundtrack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rhetoric is a big one too, not just to use but to be able to identify when it’s being used to manipulate you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Computers can and still do all that, you just need some mental discipline to avoid the cognitive equivalent of fast food being forced into your attention via AI slop and social media demagogues over corporate owned messaging systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was toys r us for me too, I was able to get a copy a week later but there’s no point to preordering if they don’t honor the reservation & when you’re a kid that week feels like forever so it sticks pretty brightly in memory

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I pre-ordered ff8, they ran out anyways. Lesson learned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pokemon x Luigi crossover?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is coming from someone who is pretending to think Microsoft is currently doing well and could lose some quality at the expense to introduce new features users want faster to sell an image of technology innovators or at a baseline a user friendly experience

  What is actually happening is they are trying really hard to sell Microsoft after windows 11 launch pushed a lot of users away or at least have them an accurate impression of how MS caters to corporations and advertisers and they don’t give a shit about users as long as they keep buying computers with windows monopoly pre installed.

  Also the interview only covers corpo interests and doesn’t include any labor or software union leaders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My N64 game collection. Not the most expansive but it is a lot of fun.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice collection, how does rogue squadron run? I remember it was really buggy on the GameCube version

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beans aswell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Corn pie‽

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think even that’s getting cheaper over the last couple years. Mid range guitars are getting premium features & qc out of Philippines and Indonesia is pretty solid, modelers are making a big collection of amps and pedals unnecessary for chasing tones. As long as you’re not a collector gathering signature serieses or looking at all the new releases giving yourself fomo it’s not too bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games to play while sick?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Turn based jrpgs like Final fantasy series games, octopath traveller, dragon warrior

  Sam and max beyond space and time, comedy point and click adventure style game

  DOOM
