- Comment on 'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams 1 week ago:
Don’t get me wrong, he’s scum, but he’s an experienced director with several well-received movies under his belt. Both can be true.
- Comment on 'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams 1 week ago:
Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn’t manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
IIRC It was newsmaxx or some other propaganda outlet.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
I’ve seen one today: “Mamdani warns about massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn’t work!”. Dude, he wasn’t mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn’t the problem here…
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
Exactly. Mamdani came prepared, and Trump was caught off guard by how nice and eloquent the dangerous communist was.
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 4 weeks ago:
What kind of game is it? Is it like Minecraft/roblox as the screenshot suggests?
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 1 month ago:
IIRC that’s the whole point of luxury car commercials during half-time breaks. 99% of watchers can’t afford one, but the ad is there to remind the owners of that very fact.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
Many people love AI, I have a lot of acquaintances who actively seek out the best “AI browser” whatever that means. It makes sense for mozilla not to fall out this bandwagon just yet.
- Comment on Return to the year 2000 with classic multiplayer DOS games in your browser 2 months ago:
Most geeks were running 2000. Windows was easy to pirate at the time, you just needed a valid key, no online checks or anything.

I have a really hard time understanding how he considers any of that a problem.

Very important step: be scouted out by the financial elite early on, then have them groom you every step of the way.

This implies some respect might be due. OP’s version leaves no room for doubt.

With good ear protection though, or the pain will remain.

Still better than the morons who took their baby to a Taylor Swift concert…
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 3 months ago:
From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.
But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 3 months ago:
It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.
- Comment on Metal genres 5 months ago:
How about some blackgaze then? Alcest and Deafheaven are amazing.
- Comment on Kuwait decision to ban entry of Israelis receives wide public praise 5 months ago:
Sure, I was just clarifying it, and seeing the other comment it doesn’t seem completely unwarranted unfortunately…
- Comment on Kuwait decision to ban entry of Israelis receives wide public praise 5 months ago:
A Spanish jew can enter the country. A Muslim Israeli cannot. This is not antisemitism.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 5 months ago:
Yeah, the issue is not “Microsoft’s usage of the XML format”. The issue is that they blatantly bought their format’s standardization, and then intentionally released an implementation that substantially deviated from the specs, making sure that MSO was the only “compatible” implementation.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 5 months ago:
Your save files carry over through the three games which was unique at the time
Still pretty unique, isn’t it? I remembered this feature a couple days ago, and couldn’t think of another example.

Do we?
- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 6 months ago:
First one is an AA game I guess. Better production value than an indie title, but far from Skyrim or GTA.
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 7 months ago:
Yes, but everything above it (including drivers) is custom-made and tightly controlled by Google.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 7 months ago:
Yep, that’s what I meant.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 7 months ago:
My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server’s hostname and that was it. And once it’s set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.
Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn’t support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.
- Comment on Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone 7 months ago:
Yeah, if they’re not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 8 months ago:
Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn’t give any fuck about kids.

- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 8 months ago:
That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.
