Wrong
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
It started as an alternative to Internet Explorer and was so much better it actually overtook it.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Might be Frisland though, I dunno
- Comment on There's ads on an apple 1 week ago:
It just occurred to me that I probably have it backwards. ABC thought of the apple tie-in for their popular school show, and pitched apple companies until one agreed.
And then after just a couple of viral internet posts about it, it is a complete success.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 2 weeks ago:
It’s a generic term for Freesync/GSync, having a variable refresh rate.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 2 weeks ago:
I have actually been looking at modding an NES with HDMI (and other goodies) as a small project. There are various kits out there.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
Just because you can replace your phone from saving doesn’t mean it’s desirable to do so. The monthly payments for these plans are low, and they have saved me money with two full replacements.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
Folding phones are so expensive that I consider it mandatory to have insurance. Samsung Care Plus, in Samsung’s case. I switched to a pixel pro fold so I could use Graphene and got whatever googles insurance plan is.
- Comment on Insane: Microsoft's latest ad proves how useless Copilot on Windows 11 actually is 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure about that, I think what you’re saying is technically right but when I hear someone say they want the text to be bigger on the computer they typically do want to scale everything up but lack the vocabulary to say that. It’s impossible to know which they actually want without more context, but going for scaling isn’t unreasonable.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 month ago:
My Index has never been reliable. Not the headset, nor the controllers. I have given up I using it.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 1 month ago:
Good
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 3 months ago:
Time to bring back the webring and every site having a “links” section.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 months ago:
They haven’t really been a thing in either Metroid or Castlevania for a long time, interestingly.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 months ago:
The views halved, the lines stayed the same. So the ratio of likes to views is now higher.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 months ago:
This makes no sense at all. Were you drunk when you posted this?
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 3 months ago:
They could require age verification or even special licensing to use any sort of internet server architecture. That’s what I would do if that was my goal.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 3 months ago:
They can also be a usable outdoor space just to hang out on.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 3 months ago:
Snow itself can get pretty heavy, but more risky I think is repeated melting and refreezing. You can wind up with a large mass of ice that can really fuck up a roof or overhang.
- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 3 months ago:
I’m really more concerned about what the US will do with it than what Russia might do with it.
- Comment on Gamers Nexus big story about GPU smuggling got taken down. 3 months ago:
I have to wonder if the DMCA was due to the news clips. While they may be fair use for contextualized reporting, I didn’t find them particularly valuable, and DMCA issues could have been avoided without them or without using so many of them.
They have said that Bloomburg footage of trump talking about GPUs was the claim. They probably did play a little too fast and loose with copyrighted footage.
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 3 months ago:
Well, Office365 works fine. You can even run it in MS Edge if you want.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 4 months ago:
I wonder if being made aware of the extensive NSA spying actually had a suppressing effect on taking action itself. It was kinda scary. Overwhelming. “Best not to think about it” kind of stuff.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 4 months ago:
I wonder if Piefed users have pie days
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 4 months ago:
Fair enough! I do with that invidious had the “full window” option.
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 4 months ago:
Why not just use the invidious instance directly?
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 4 months ago:
I wonder what percentage of views are done with a general purpose web browser vs. YouTube apps on phones and TVs.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 4 months ago:
Good point. Guess it’s hopeless?
To be honest I haven’t thought about this much because playing online games with strangers is not something I enjoy in the first place. I’m sure others have good ideas, though.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 4 months ago:
I feel I would rather just opt out of playing these games. It ain’t worth it.
I feel like they should just host the entire game and stream it to players if they want to eliminate cheating, but that’s probably the most anti-SKG way to publish a game possible. Oh well.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 months ago:
They both put staples into things but they aren’t really interchangeable functionally. It makes sense to distinguish them depending on the context.
