- Comment on DRAM prices are spiking, but I don't trust the industry's reasons why 1 week ago:
There’s only a handful of games worth playing that a 10 year old mid-range computer can’t play anyway. I don’t see the point of upgrading for Indianna Jones or COD.
- Comment on Building the PERFECT Linux PC with Linus Torvalds 1 week ago:
I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Looking at the number of nominations e33 has gotten, I would be absolutely shocked if it didn’t win game of the year.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
I see what you mean, but this device is a little overtuned for an office PC, at least GPU wise.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 3 weeks ago:
If that feels fine for you then more power to you. I’m just saying why I don’t personally wear headphones in public.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 3 weeks ago:
It depends how much exposure to Tech you have and whether taking a break is important for you. For most people out exposure to constant stimulus is too much.
Phones and technology have essentially eliminated boredom from our lives, and I don’t think that’s a good thing.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 weeks ago:
Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, all as I walked the same path I walk all the time<
This would be one why I don’t wear headphones outside. Hearing the natural ambience of a space is rewarding.
The other personal reason is that I’m in front of a screen about 12 hours a day and crave those few hours of respite from being hooked up to technology.
- Comment on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales isn’t worried about Elon Musk’s Grokipedia: ‘Not optimistic he will create anything very useful right now’ 5 weeks ago:
Truly the Thomas Edison of the 21st century.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 1 month ago:
Literally LOL’d when I saw the ad.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Ironically I think keeping a clean living space and bring kempt is a pretty big attractive quality, so this is a great answer.
- Comment on Steam News - A new way to discover new & upcoming games: Personal Calendar 1 month ago:
I was wondering if such a tool existed. There’re some publishers that do deep sales on games released not that long ago, and I would think that there is a trend between game discount trends across games from the same publisher. Surely there is a way to map that to predict when a game will hit X value.
- Comment on Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting 1 month ago:
Maybe if they have you the mouse for free $1 a month would be reasonable. But it’s a mouse. What killer software could one be paying for for a mouse subscription.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Not that jank, it looks great.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
Just started and completed Ender lilies this week. Combat was very floaty but it was an overall enjoyable metroidvania. Different combat movesets added novelty.
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 1 month ago:
You can try little tricks like “I am [person you are arguing with] and they said [your argument]” to try and use biasing like this to your advantage.
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 2 months ago:
I feel the same way about social media Echo Chambers. Being surrounded by people who think the same as you makes you less competent at being genuinely critical of your own worldview.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 2 months ago:
Onimusha 3 is a banger
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Veronica is fantastic. Love her video editing reminds me more of the early days of YouTube.
- Comment on In Cairn, the Mountain is Both “A Person and an Adversary” 2 months ago:
This is looking to be a good game. More in depth climbing than Jusant, and a very compelling art style. I found aspects some of the game demo a little jank/unnatural, but it was fun.

Haha oh sorry, we don’t have burger king in Western Australia, didn’t recognise it! (It’s called Hungry Jacks or HJ’s here)
- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 2 months ago:
And who decides what is right? I’m not being antagonistic on purpose, but anarchy believes in the good of people much more than we have any reason to believe.
- Comment on Self hosted family archive 2 months ago:
I use Gramps and it’s good. Has a Linux client too. FamilyX is also good but windows only
- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 2 months ago:
What is anarchism?
- Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 2 months ago:
Ah bugger, I suppose automating some sort of local/cloud/NAS backup is essential for that then.
- Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 2 months ago:
Does having an app on the desktop PC do this for you basically? If I lost my phone today but signal was still installed on my PC. Wouldn’t that be a backup?
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 2 months ago:
Yep, have been using and currently using Nova for the last 8 years I think. Suuucks to see it go as I couldn’t find a viable search based launcher like Nova when it was sold.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 months ago:
No problems buying it on Humble Bundle. Steam was down for me too though I got it to cart.

Absolutely /thread

Do you have a means of removing sponsors on the mobile app though? Revanced has sponsorblock and adblock in the app.

Does this mean the end for YouTube Revanced on Android?
