- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 1 day ago:
I haven’t blocked anyone here, but on Tumblr I started unfollowing folks who posted about doom and gloom all the time. That site’s more conducive to memes and TV show discussions than it is discussion about news/politics, and I don’t like scrolling through a bunch of superhero memes and then getting hit with a post about the latest atrocity in the world. That stuffs important, but it’s not healthy to fixate on it all the time.
It’s important to curate what you’re doing so that you dont fall into a doomscrolling trap or get ragebaited into arguments that go nowhere.

A more ambitious pull request than just fixing some typos, for sure
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 day ago:
Timing is a fools game for sure. Bubble could pop next month, next year, or even later.
If you’re old, make sure you have a good percent in bonds. If you’re young, make sure you have 6-12 months saved in case of layoffs and keep saving - market will look completely different in 20-30 years anyways so it’s not worth worrying about.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 1 month ago:
No, what you say makes sense, and I think it’s part of the reason why linux usage (as a daily driver) is starting to increase now versus 20 years ago. It’s just easier to install and use linux distros nowadays.
And most folks who want office for free are going to go with google docs, for the convenience factor.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 month ago:
The assumption that you’ll lose a lawsuit against a large corporation probably stops a lot of viable lawsuits from ever happening - good for him for giving it a go.
- Comment on Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots) 1 month ago:
The newer zelda games are interesting since you can see how the world has changed between botw and totk, but on the macro scale you’re definitely right. Most zelda games have formula of “all is well, bad guy appears to threaten realm, link saves the day, back to normal”. BOTW was an interesting way to change that formula - hyrule isn’t restored after you beat ganon, but things change with new settlements being formed and so on in totk
