Or … they’ll just buy up all the hardware (including all production capacity for future hardware), making it prohibitively expensive for people to buy their own hardware.

Well, you’ll never have a relationship like that if you stay home watching anime all day…

Only the lucky Irish survived. That’s why all the surviving ones are lucky.
- Comment on US Bans import of new foreign-produced inverters 1 month ago:
Aw, motherfuckers. This is going to make things much more expensive for me, isn’t it?
Maybe I should make a quick trip to Canada and smuggle one in.

In fun new antibiotic-resistant flavors!
- Comment on Modelling of a mass-spring network with varying masses, spring constants and number of connections? 2 months ago:
Yeah … I’d just go with Blender, honestly.
What you’re describing is actually already extremely close to how it processes cloth/jiggle physics internally. All you’d need to do is create your array of points, link them with lines, and then set physics parameters for each one. Plus, it already comes with ways to simulate external forces on the system, if you want.

“The most transparent administration in history”, folks.

Over-simplified, really.

Two years?
Aw, fuck.

Damn… I’d really like to know when the game stabilizes and reaches its ‘final’ form.
Is it even really ‘complete’ yet?

- Comment on RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 engine 'OpenRCT2' adds auto detection of RCT2 and RCT1 Wine installs on Linux 2 months ago:
While good, this is only really useful in one very niche situation: You previously installed RCT2 (and maybe also RCT1) through Wine and you’re just now wanting to upgrade to OpenRCT2.
If you just want to play OpenRCT2, there are much easier ways. The game files don’t have to be installed in order for OpenRCT2 to use them. Just tell OpenRCT2 where the installer files or CD or CD image are, and it will handle it. No need to get Wine involved. (OpenRCT2 has a native Linux version.)
- Comment on Medieval legal experts inventing the ultimate loophole 2 months ago:
And if you didn’t get pregnant, there’s no evidence, so I guess it didn’t happen. (Unless the ruling party doesn’t like that guy.)
So, yeah. Someone friendly with the ruling party can pretty much rape with impunity, as long as there aren’t too many witnesses.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 legal battle ends with reinstated CEO stepping down, as Krafton and Unknown Worlds founders agree settlement 2 months ago:
I’m glad this worked out in the end … but I’m afraid that if there’s ever a Subnautica 3, it’s going to be shit.

crypto games
I hadn’t heard of this until now, and I would like to continue not hearing about it.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 2 months ago:
and probably failing due to competition that does.
If the competition also has to disclose AI usage, then they’ll be equally disadvantaged by their own AI labels.
No – they’re worried about competition that doesn’t use AI.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 3 months ago:
Guess it also depends on your system. I pretty routinely keep several hundred firefox tabs open with no issues … but I’ve got 80GB of RAM to go around, so it’s fine.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 3 months ago:
If you keep 1000 tabs open, maybe. Otherwise, it’s not too bad.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 3 months ago:
I was scared for a long time to switch
But … why?
I’m honestly asking here. What’s so scary about using a different browser? I’ve got (let me count…) at least 6 different browsers installed on my current machine, switching between them for different tasks each of them is better at.
It’s not like switching from Windows to Linux, where you actually have to say goodbye to Windows (maybe) in order to make the switch. You can easily install Chrome and Firefox, using whichever one suits you at the moment. So what’s so scary about switching?
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 3 months ago:
Maybe then Chrome can finally die.
- Comment on The Empire is Responsible for the Imperial System 3 months ago:
IMO, the UK especially has no room to talk when it comes to measurement systems. They still use an unholy hodgepodge of imperial and metric and on top of that they have just a few weird as fuck things, like using ‘stone’ to refer to people’s weight and nothing else.
