• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  CF aside, i’m not the biggest fan that Ladybird decided on Swift, since it’s such an Apple-centric language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for stating a fact, because Pixel hasn’t had competitive hardware for several iterations now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verified Steam game steals streamer's cancer treatment donations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem was using Cryptocurrency in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The song that never ends announces what it is in the first line, then expects us to believe some people started singing it without knowing what it was⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I always start singing on the second line because of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have. Oddly enough, I don’t remember any Gearbox game with a Gearbox engine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨600 GB of Alleged Great Firewall of China Data Published in Largest Leak Yet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Please, provide an argument instead of platitudes about “study more.” None of your posts contribute anything to do the discussion besides “read Marx.” Some of us already have done that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A game that looks like BL4 shouldn’t run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then the problem surely is media literacy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps the lesser of the two evils, considering Google’s dominance. But yes, far from ideal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe at some point we can all stop watching and hence supporting YouTube, that’d be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elegant!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you show us the frequency response for the Bose vs the LCD-5s and why you prefer the Bose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I look at the length of my shadow, if it’s not taller than I am I use an umbrella.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vast majority of the content on there is a conservative echo chamber.

  TIL. It’s always rather amusing as someone outside of America that posts containing factual information get downvotes purely based on the perceived alignment of the subject on the zero-nuance American Political Spectrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Messenger signals that cue plants to ‘eat’ and ‘breathe’ revealed for first time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really curious about what this leads to. We also know that plants can signal each other via the mycelium, they have awareness of their surroundings and events, just not in the same way we do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about Rumble? GN is on there and directly supportable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why It's OK to Block Ads (2015)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Word of mouth existed far before advertising, and as for algorithmic discoverability retailers do a fine job of that already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why It's OK to Block Ads (2015)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It’s my ccomputer” has already been mentioned, but it’s my bandwidth and my home network too. Ads can stay off it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since I needn’t ambience nor multi-modal experiences in my OS, I’m afraid that even as a long-time windows user I’m going to have to switch to another OS that closer aligns to my needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

  The association is funded by a number of food multinationals, pharmaceutical companies, and food industry lobbying groups, such as the National Confectioners Association. The Academy has faced controversy regarding corporate influence and its relationship with the food industry and funding from corporate groups such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Mars, and others.

  …

  During fiscal year 2015, the organisation received $1.1 million in corporate sponsorship’s from companies like General Mills, Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co via donations, joint initiatives, and programs.

  Emphasis mine. As always, it’s important to view all organizations in the context of their relationship with other larger and more influential organizations.
