- Comment on One Piece anime TV series will release a maximum of 26 episodes per year 2026 onwards 1 day ago:
The whole arc was basically 6 minutes of intro/outro and 15 mintutes of zoomed in reaction shots with maybe 3 minutes of plot/action that mattered. It was pure pain.

As long as you include at least up to Zou the elephant, i agree here. That was the worst season in a show that has had many bad seasons. Just insanely tedious filler that served no purpose and had no actual stakss.

Can you highlight where you link this steam deck advice? There are no references to steam, steamdeck or linux in the article, and the only linls aee to the projects websites. Do they have a steamdeck guide?
- Comment on Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) 3 days ago:
Why? It sounds like an old link description that they didnt update. Webdev likely isnt their top priority being emulation devs, and frankly, they may not care.
Github/codeberg are both git, so its pretty irrevelant which one you link to. They just host the git repos, which give no shits about what web platform they live on.
- Comment on Restroom Location 3 days ago:
A lot of these stories are about, 2 or 3 streets, generally some dense blocks in the core of downtown that either have homeless services nearby or are tourist areas where you can panhandle succesfully.
No city has hundreds of streets and thousands of blocks just full of human shit. It happens in high traffic/high visibiilty areas due to poverty, the lack of accesable public bathrooms and drug use in the US, and even then, is minimal. Social media and right wing hysteria pump up minimal issues into quipy mania.

Another example : roddenbury wanted the 1st officer to be a woman on TOS, and shot the pilot with her in the role. The studio shot it down.

The charector arcs in the show are complex, especially for the early 90s. Sisko is largely an honorable man, but the nature of the roles he assumes strain him, force him in difficult directions.
The marquies in a lot of ways are personal to him. A dear friend defects to them early, and then he gets rolled later by others he trusts. He basically has direct bad blood with them.
Some of the other choices he makes? Fucked up, but to the shows credit, they lean into it and dont pretend hes the good guy when they happen.

Good call out, but it looks like they didnt include their name on the wallet stamp, which is an odd choice.
You’de thing if you were going to brashly embed an ad for your patreon in the panel, it would include your name to prevent it being cropped.
- Comment on New Special Art to Celebrate the 26th Anniversary of the One Piece Anime 1 week ago:
I love the loony toons personally. It fits the slapdash nature of the show. The color of arms felt like “I’m a serious thing that you should take serious” except that one piece is too ludicrous to be serious. Even when it’s serious it’s so bombastic as to be unbelievable, so fuck it.
“I’m a god damn cartoon” as luffys actually power is just a love letter to the whole theme of a ridiculous show.

Kobo is a nice alternative to kindle as well. They have excellent devices and support all of the open formats. Works well with calibre, can sync to your local library, etc.
- Comment on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend 2 weeks ago:
Apparently it was supposed to be. They have the core functions in a “can’t OTA” container, with less important functions like AV/etc in a “can OTA” model.
This update was pushed to the “can update” side and fucked the “can’t update” side, which is its own can of worms. Another can? Jeep pushed a silent, emergency update “to all Jeeps even those who have automatic updates disabled.”
So the issue is not that they have no security model, it’s that it clearly doesn’t work and they can and will push secret updates even when you decline all updates.

- Comment on JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters 2 weeks ago:
Some companies do “internet only” wifi where there is no routing to internal services for anyone. A VPN is required, even when at work, to access anything internal wirelessly. Its a perfectly reasonable config that lowers the risk of breach of your internal network by exposing less of it over the air.
This is also the nominal config for most zero trust networks, but that’s more a consequence of the “always on” nature of those VPN connections.
- Comment on If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing' 3 weeks ago:
The “win” was to become the first god king in his next actual game, which let players compete/pay in a shared world for nobility/etc.
That game was never released, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years.

A few weeks ago, his wife made some unprompted comments about him being a “sexual matador” in an interview. Concurrently, there are rumours that he’s been literally cuckcolded by Elon musk in a consensual context.
So these memes are just riffing off these two pieces of news.

- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 4 weeks ago:
The vm/container side is less important than the “cant run a RAID parity check regularly because it makes the NAS useless” part.
I’d argue that a nas should be able to run containers at this point. NAS Hardware does not need to be utterly gutless just because it can be. A versatile NAS is actually a great first choice for a homelab setup before you start to expand.
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 4 weeks ago:
I’d recommend against it. It works “fine” but everything is a thin, but walled garden. Every app is some “Qsomebullshit."They really, really want you in their ecosystem.
Id say the systems are underspec’ed as well. The model I bought years pitched itself as container ready, but the chipset is so weak it can’t run anything worth a damn.

- Comment on The Unbearable Inefficiency of Fossil Fuels 5 weeks ago:
And to compound om these losses, while the energy source is dense, it is heavy. You have to move fuel around by spending fuel, lots and lots of it. We use an ungodly amount of fossil fuels moving fossil fuels somewhere to be used. Fuel and coal tankers are a huge amount of the energy we spend.
Electricity on the other hand can be locally produced nearly anywhere with wind/solar, and with infrastructure upgrades, be moved over wire with very little loss and no fossil fuel expenditure.

Hes saying that caring for oneself is the only thing that matters, that others should fend for themselves.
Theil is a pure randian. Hes not advocating for building strength to help build up a community. Hes advocating for communities where only the strong can afford to buy into while everyone else dies.
