- Comment on If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all? 8 hours ago:
It doesn’t really matter, no. All the DNS entries sync everywhere. So it isn’t like you will have to ping some DNS server in the UK to get your website. Everyone will just hitup their normal DNS server and it will have the answer.
- Comment on ESRB won't follow PEGI's age rating changes in US 9 hours ago:
I would really enjoy if games that had paid loot boxes (ie, gambling) were marked M for Mature. Would cut that shit out fast.
- Comment on Did we win? 15 hours ago:
No we didn’t win. This is Google making it harder to install the programs you want, rather than the programs Google wants you to have.

Ah, if gives the females internal anatomy? Sweet! /s
(That is something HL Cinematic mod did for…some reason)
- Comment on We have heard time and time again Hollywood and the Media are liberal assests. I disagree with that statement. But has it always been so called liberal? When did it start? 2 days ago:
They are upper class Californians. It would be surprising if it wasn’t left.
It’s like being surprised rednecks from Mississippi aren’t right.

If you use antifreeze, it will make it sweet. Perfect for pineapple pizza!
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 1 week ago:
I have not had this problem using uBlock Origin on FireFox.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Hook a PC up to your TV. Don’t use the TV’s software.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Nebula is pretty good and I’m happy to support creators making quality content.
UBlock Origin on Firefox murders all YouTube ads. Works great. Would recommend.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
“Free” YouTube is like using a browser without an blocker now
What do you mean? UBlock Origin kills all the YouTube ads. Not giving money to Google is perfectly fine.

Once every wear or two.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
I, for a long time, wanted Microsoft to delete the difference between PC and Console. They are the same hardware, they can run the same software. Valve achieved this with the Steam Deck. I just wonder how Microsoft is going to manage to fuck it up.
I’m confused by the pessimistic reactions, though.
Microsoft has done an amazing job of destroying all good-will. And it’s why I and an increasing share of people stopped using Windows (I still have to suffer with it at work though).
-
Why is there an Xbox app in Windows? It doesn’t help play Steam games.
-
Why are there ads in the start menu?
-
Why are there two control panels? Why do I always have to hunt to find the old one because the new one doesn’t do what is needed?
-
Why are there popup ads in the notification window?
-
Why do I need an online account, or a hidden fucking terminal, just to get the OS going?
-
Why is Copilot fucking everywhere?
-
Why does the OS hoover fuckloads of data and send it to Microsoft?
-
No, but seriously, why are there ads?
These are all questions that are relavent when you ask about why people are pessimistic about Microsoft merging PC and Xbox. All of the above questions apply, but then you get to ask, in addition:
-
How locked down will this be?
-
How many ads will there be?
-
Will multiplayer require monthly payments?

- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
They were pretty damn fun. Other games like C&C Generals were a blast as well.
We have since upgraded to beer and boardgames, which still hold their charm. :)
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
And that works on both Linux and Windows now. :)
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
That is actually one of the things that is actually just a Windows detriment. Linux, including the steam deck, can just go to sleep in the middle of the game and bring you right back to where you were when putting it to sleep.
Funnily enough, if this new XBox is Windows based, they are going to lose this ability.

Putting lemmy on the end does suggest to the engine what you want, but you can command it to do what you want.

It seems like it does get indexed, but it doesn’t show up very high. I’m assuming nobody is bothering with SEO.

- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 2 weeks ago:
Uncharted 4 didn’t do too well on PC? Where are the PC versions of Uncharted 1-3
Release of 4 could have pushed a bunch of sales on a 1-3 PC collection as well! Release them at the same time, put the 1-3 collection on a discount and charge full price for 4. People will gobble up both. (I would put 4 on my wish list and buy the 1-3 collection in that situation, but that is still me giving them money for a two-decade-old game.)
- Comment on Ahead of Myrient's RAM crisis-linked demise, volunteers are working to archive its entire collection 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this seems absurdly too high. My guess is he was hosting it on AWS or one of the other premium cloud providers. Places like Digital Ocean are a fraction of AWS’ cost.
I remember doing a pricing analysis at work, and every three months of AWS time would buy us a completely new server rack. Just three months! AWS was out at that point, leaving colocating, keeping it in-house, or services like Digital Ocean as the remaining reasonable options.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age
That part is good at least. It also makes the entire law an exercise in wasting everyone’s time and money.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
This is the justification for phasing them out and not renewing the contract. Happens all the time, usually with less Tweets and more quiet paper pushing.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract. Simply that Anthropic will be phased out and no longer used.
As a corollary, I doubt Anthropic’s contract will be renewed when it the current one expires.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
Anthropic was taking a stance against their AI in weapons systems. The government wants that ability and therefore cannot use Anthropic as a supplier.
- Comment on When Video Games were Brown. | Ahoy 2 weeks ago:
I would be interested in the graphs, but with Sports and Nintendo games removed. Nobody has accused them of brown.
Did shooters specifically get more brown? Even with this analysis I’m positive they did.
- Comment on Microsoft's planned new AI trick for Edge will 'automatically open the Copilot side pane' with Outlook email links — and I can feel the hate already 2 weeks ago:
All they had to do was make a copilot app that you install from the Windows store. Nobody would have disliked them for that. They probably could have even pre-installed it and people would have only groaned.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 3 weeks ago:
I had to go back and read your post twice because I was getting Xbox One X and Xbox Series X confused with eachother. I even know there is a difference, but holy god are those names bad that it’s still confusing even when you know to look for it.
- Comment on Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet 3 weeks ago:
These are a massive liability every storm. You have to winch them down and get them into a blisteringly massive hangar that can hold them. Then get them set back up after. Every. Single. Storm.
Furthermore, you don’t save on land use, as you need the massive, expensive hangar for each right at their base.
Ground-based wind-turbines just feather their blades and lock their gearbox. Very simple.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 3 weeks ago:
I remember being very annoyed, for years, that Microsoft’s flagship gaming franchise, Halo, stopped releasing for their most popular platform: Windows. For years, only Halo and Halo 2 were released for PC, and Halo 2 was almost unplayable due to Microsoft’s massive cockup with Games for Windows Live. It wasn’t until just a few years ago where Microsoft released their most popular franchise for their most popular platform.
I’m still salty about that.
But, it’s fine, I don’t have an xbox or a Windows computer now. And it is almost entirely due to shit decisions by Microsoft that just kept compounding for decades.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 4 weeks ago:
spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours
Even worse: if you get a proper night’s sleep, 16 hours is literally the entire day. Dude is saying if you are getting healthy amounts of sleep, it is perfectly acceptable to spend 100% of your time doom scrolling on their website. No eating, no going to work, no showering.
It’s an absurd statement.

Youtube + UBlock Origin is a good alternative to paying Google money every month.
