• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Request] A good multiplayer mechwarrior-like game⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I bought it about a year ago and had a lot of fun with it. There are a lot of different gameplay systems and the combat is satisfying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name this minivan⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  SurvivaVan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For starters you do your research and don’t buy that hardware, or maybe better you buy it and then return it because it doesn’t allow you to install the software you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is that though, are other US states in any way bound by the laws of Mississippi? They have no representation in MS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US government could get even more Intel stock if the company ends up losing control of its chip manufacturing business⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on AMD CPUs for all my recent PCs, generally cheaper and just as good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An alien invasion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Donald J Trump hasn’t anal probed me, or harvested my organs, or put me into a slave labor camp on Omnicron Persei 5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC chair alleges partisan filtering by Gmail; Google says spam filters not ideological⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s quite likely that Republicans have worse mail list management. I somehow started getting Donald Trump emails and I never signed up for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC chair Andrew Ferguson warns Google not to filter or suppress emails sent by Republicans over Gmail⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had about enough of these fascist snowflakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government’s business.

  The party of “small government?” “Don’t tread on me?” What the hell happened, Republicans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also how is not socialism? Imagine the wailing from Repugnants if the Democrats did this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the truest post I have read in a long time. Most people aren’t brave enough to say these things but they are all completely true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schools in Florida are testing armed drones as a defense against school shootings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They will decide they don’t really want to do it after all. After millions has been given to various companies and contractors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t do it. No matter how cool your ex seems, odds are this situation with your girlfriend moving into the house would cause big problems in ways you can’t foresee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I read an article that suggests classified ads used to support newspapers and hard journalism, and the Internet and sites like Craigslist took away that revenue to pay reporters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if Valve would release SteamOS 3.0 for PC that would make a bigger dent in Windows. TurboTax just announced they will not support Windows 10 for the new version and that’s probably just the start for Win10 abandonment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know why this weird CD won't fit in my CD drive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They make really good spin fidgets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a search engine with a natural language interface.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I already subscribe to Bluesky. It’s fine but I get so tired of being in an echo chamber even if I agree with most everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft breaks Windows reset and recovery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what happens when corporations become so large, their product so ubiquitous, and have so many customers that they don’t need to worry about actual quality or service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes | Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks ok, but sorta just reminds me I need to play Deadlock more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Is Power-Hungry and consumers are paying the price⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re going to get it and you’re going to pay for it with dollars and your water supply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect the established banking/credit card industry is not likely to let Valve into their systems just to circumvent their restrictions. Vabve would need to be able to validate Visa/Mastercard/Discover etc cards issued by any any bank and be able to credit/debit them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will never cease to be amazed at how ungodly much cash startups often have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rage Against the Machine are just political Beastie Bous⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe Sabotage is similar but I haven’t noticed a lot of similarity overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max’s Password-Sharing Crackdown Will Start in Earnest in September⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since the Righteous Gemstones ended there is nothing I watch on there anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Bandcamp when I want to buy and YouTube with ad blocker for streaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only that, I wouldn’t even use one if they paid me. How did they convince people to pay to be spied on and advertised to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No matter how hard he tries, Elon Musk will never be as cool or as respected as Martha Stewart.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I can see from the documentary she was getting on a plane to go on vacation and her broker called her and advised selling $40,000 worth of some stock and she said ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run it through my 1995-era photo editor that doesn’t support all the metadata.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We are in an administration that lives by “the ends justify the means”, so I’ll allow it this once.
