- Comment on An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me 2 days ago:
Surely that should be “A Person using an AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me”?
This smells like PR bait trying to legitimise AI.
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 3 days ago:
Oh no, won’t someone think of the billion dollar company and their cultists! lmao
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 4 days ago:
If that’s the case I’d bet it’s because the 3rd party launcher is embedded which is what Ubisoft did with Assassin’s Creed.
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 4 days ago:
Haha yeah. At least for online ARPGs. No such problem with Grim Dawn, Chronicon, Wolcen etc
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 4 days ago:
Hey! Buy our 25 year old game for £36!
It comes with a free always online requirement! Also included is the opportunity of a lifetime to open an exclusive Battle.net account to use the mandatory 3rd party launcher!
Don’t forget the new QoL additions we’ve locked behind a new class DLC!
- Comment on Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein 5 days ago:
I guess it’s fixed now… there are 61 mentions of Epstein on his page lol.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 5 days ago:
Yeah, it’s definitely not ideal but £110 brand new made me get over it :D
Hopefully they continue the repairability and do something better with the OS in the future.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 5 days ago:
Yeah, there’s no doubt the Fairphone is a better phone. There’s definitely issues with the HMD. I don’t think the Fairphone is 5 times better though.
- Comment on MindsEye studio reportedly installed monitoring software on staff PCs without their knowledge, as execs continue alleging sabotage 6 days ago:
Perhaps I’m too cynical these days but what chance did they have with a name like Build A Rocket Boy?
Every time I see it I think is it “Build A Rocket, Boy” a la GoW or “Build A Rocket Boy” a la Astroboy… like WTF does it mean!!!
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 6 days ago:
Yeah, i’d love a Fairphone but it’s 5 times the price of the HMD and I just don’t care that much for processing power or the camera. I just use my phone for messaging, playing music, banking and sudoku.
I bought the Pulse for £100 new.

Here you go. Both links from the page with “no information”.

I bought an HMD Pulse Pro which is also made to be repairable. They have a partnership with ifixit.

- Comment on EU says TikTok faces large fine over "addictive design" 1 week ago:
Percentages are relative. They’ll still be able to dry their eyes with the billions they’ll have made in profit.
- Comment on EU says TikTok faces large fine over "addictive design" 1 week ago:
It’s reckoned that Bytedance’s profit margin is about 20% which is insane. They’ll easily absorb the 6% (as a general rule of thumb, most businesses would be over the moon with a 10% profit margin).
- Comment on EU says TikTok faces large fine over "addictive design" 1 week ago:
It makes it sound a lot when you put it like that.
If instead I say that 6% of €1000 is €60 then it doesn’t sound so much despite being in the same proportion.

large fineslap on the hand - Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update February 2026 1 week ago:
Thanks for your work and thanks again for sorting my issue with images.lemmy.zip and VPN access. Everything has been working perfectly since then!
- Comment on Why Civilization VII is the way it is, and how its devs plan to win critics back 1 week ago:
we didn’t realize quite how strongly players identified with the idea of, ‘I need to take some people and grow them and have that specific civilization cultural set be what’s growing to face the challenges of world history,’
That’s the core idea since Civ started and they don’t get that that’s what people like? That explains a lot.
Instead of what they’ve been doing I’d love to see them release a fantasy Civ like Warlock 2.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 1 week ago:
It seems pretty clear to me that despite the ambiguity of the term AI, people are specifically railing against LLMs, not ML. It also seems clear to me that the new Firefox direction as announced by their CEO is to incorporate more LLM specifically into the browser.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 1 week ago:
That’s all well and good that they give you the ability to turn it off. What’s not changing though is that most of their focus will be on integrating AI which most people don’t want. As a result the pace of other new features being tested/implemented will probably slow significantly.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 1 week ago:
Try Waterfox.
- Comment on 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI 2 weeks ago:
Microslop could do absolutely anything to Windows and it wouldn’t make me go back because it would be Microslop doing it.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
You asked a question, I answered. You didn’t like the answer so now you move the goalposts.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
Anything by Blizzard, Escape from Tarkov, Minecraft, Roblox, Valorant/LoL/TFT, Genshin Impact/HSR, Fortnite and more.

A scowling void of pure nothingness
Sounds like a sick video game summon.
- Comment on The Amount of New Solar Power Production Capacity China Is Manufacturing Is Legitimately Mind-Blowing 2 weeks ago:
I bet the power companies see it on their bottom line though!
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, and the posts with just a youtube link and a title that doesn’t adequately describe it drive me nuts.
- Comment on Yes, Paradox are aware that a “barrage of DLCs” can scare away new players, for all their bundles and discounts 2 weeks ago:
The problem that keeps some people away is that they release a game that is a bare bones experience and then fuck their customers with piecemeal DLC for years afterwards. They are so bold as to release a game with features removed from the previous game then sell those features as DLC.
I have no doubt that the devs working for Paradox make good games, and I would certainly like to play them and experience their work. Their management however are fucking scum who will never see any of my money unless they change their ways (they won’t).
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 2 weeks ago:
This “Larion CEO says…” reporting trend is starting to become as annoying as the Kojima worship.
