  I think .net is pretty good. People love VS Code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Floorp (which I use) does not distinguish itself from Firefox with regards to AI features, so if those features existing is a problem for you it’s not an option either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve read elsewhere, precedent is already set. Other game storefronts providers, including Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, do make such payments to PRS. Valve is the odd one. I’d love it if someone here could confirm or deny this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve upgraded my 13 with new mainboards twice. I’ve yet to upgrade my 16 because everything is too expensive now, and upgrading the GPU to the newer nVidia module would require replacing the screen too and fuuuuuck that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a funny memory from the far distant past when a friend of mine, in a middle school Spanish class, expressed surprise that Spanish speakers use rhymes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sarcasm can be used to be inclusive to someone (I’m saying this thing we both know to be untrue, imagine thinking otherwise!) or derisive (I’m saying this stupid thing you’d probably think is true because you’re an idiot and I want to make sure you know it.) I know friendly people who do the former a lot and nasty people who exclusively do the latter. I wonder if the former is more difficult to achieve among a foreign culture with a second language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even in English, sarcasm can be delivered very dryly in a way that would be undetectable without knowing context. It doesn’t need to be spoken with exaggerated tones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Requiring less RAM is good, but conceptually, it’s Linux that is “wasting” the RAM by never using it. It’s there, and it’s reusable, fill it up! Now, does Windows make good use of it? No idea. Wouldn’t bet on it, but I could be surprised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, 3D printers and filaments simply need to be made illegal to own and use without a license, like a still. People should be buying from corporations anyway, not designing and printing things at home. Who do we think we are?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If its an age-restricted project, sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like for this to be a mass exodus event, but since it only stops you from accessing age-restricted servers you’re not really going to have to verify your ID if you’re just using voice chat with your friends or whatever. (At least, from what i can tell.) So it might cause on exodus of that segment of users, at least, and I’ll take that. That alone might help spur development to reduce the gap between discord and newer competitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's ads on an apple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.
