- Comment on Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days 1 week ago:
Yeah, their BYOD plan works great if they sell the phone you’re using. My Pixel 7 I got from the Google Store worked just fine with AT&T for two years before I upgraded. I just didn’t even consider whether they sold the device or not to be important to the functionality of the phone.

Not with AT&T. Bought a Pixel 9 Pro Fold on a huge sale from Google themselves, but because AT&T doesn’t sell it, they couldn’t provision it correctly on their network. Went through all the troubleshooting, they sent me a new SIM even. Finally I did my own research online, found a reddit post where someone talked to an employee on some internal AT&T team that said they probably won’t ever support it properly since they don’t sell it.
So that was frustrating.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 1 month ago:
Yep. My 64 gigs of RAM died in my old setup a few weeks ago, and instead of paying out the ass for replacement DDR4 RAM, I decided to pay out the ass for DDR5 RAM and upgrade while I was at it. Only did 32 gigs, because I really wasn’t using most of my 64 gigs (I thought). A few days ago, I ended up having to set up a swap file because a Rust project I was working on kept crashing VSCode while it was running the analyzer. What are we doing here.

Use an Arch distrobox and install from the AUR.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 months ago:
I’m absolutely ass at RTS, but I really really love Starcraft and Warcraft lore. Every few years, I’ll replay WC3 and Starcraft 1 and 2 using cheats. I use as few cheats as possible so that I still experience as much of the game as intended, but I still make sure I can’t lose.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 3 months ago:
Well I guess now I’ve gotta transition away from Hyprland. That fucking sucks, I just moved to it a month or so ago and really like the workflow. Anyone have suggestions for alternatives? Or I could just go back to KDE.
- Comment on Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue 8 months ago:
The only problem with Telegram = IRC angle is that I can’t scroll up in IRC to see what I missed throughout the day. I legitimately would love to switch my friend group to a self-hosted IRC server, but chat history is important.
- Comment on My playlist, everyone 8 months ago:
I hate to be that guy, but Ronnie Radke is a convicted murder accomplish and vocal transphobe. Which sucks, because I liked FiR :(
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 8 months ago:
Die a slow death from hyperglycemia once my pump runs out of insulin.
Infect the indigenous population with some god awful pathogen they have no defense against.
Die to a pathogen I have no defense against.
Die to the indigenous population due to being a white dude in pre-contact North America.
It uh… wouldn’t be pretty.
- Comment on Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks 10 months ago:
That’s not the only thing you said. You also implied emulation is only used for piracy, and then got rude and condescending when people rebutted your statement.

I didn’t buy a $1200 PC to play TotK. I already had a $1200 PC and decided I wanted to use it to play the game I paid for with better performance.
