  Porta-potty company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA insists it will "maintain creative control" and "creative freedom" if sale to consortium goes ahead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Creative control until the Bobs come in and fire everyone not wanting to toe the authoritarian line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA insists it will "maintain creative control" and "creative freedom" if sale to consortium goes ahead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Origin Systems, they made Ultima Underworld and Wing Commander. EA turned Origin into a download client. I’m still salty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy will be the latest country to require age verification for porn sites⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  True, it’s like the war on drugs, but drugs that can be perfectly copied infinite times and fully shared over the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m betting this will be it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't try to stop me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They got the metric system over there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When washing, should I turn garments inside out?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I only turn t-shirts with prints on them inside out. I also zip up zippers so they don’t abrade other things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get creative. Put rocks or something heavy in your pockets or a backpack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plasma TV recommendations? Looking for a decent 50+ inch display for older consoles.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair warning plasmas are really heavy, and they are susceptible to burn-in.

  FWIW I had a 42" Samsung plasma from 2008 that I gave to a friend and is still working great, but it was only like 1024x768. Lots of ports though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla's robot army. Yes, really.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope he doesn’t start any trade federations and blockade Naboo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would I buy this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand the single player campaigns are somewhat fun. I’ve had Black Ops on my Steam wishlist for years and it has never been on a decent sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too bad Woz is no longer part of Apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The more features something has the more there is to go wrong.

  I am also immediately suspicious of any mundane item or appliance that wants internet access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve replaced Amazon with various other shopping, but 3 of my purchases (shoes from Zappos and 2 eBay purchases) have come from Amazon anyway. It’s worse than I thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finesse thy customer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You would lose money by not buying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam News - A new way to discover new & upcoming games: Personal Calendar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isthereanydeal.com will do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen AI in Firefox now too. I guess our choices will be ai little AII or a lot of AI from now on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I'm not sorry.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Boobs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and that’s a great idea. We need to value Earth over commerce and profits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla agrees, and all the federal/state/local officials that turn a blind eye to public roads being used as a testing ground for very flawed software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somebody needs to be responsible, otherwise ban self driving until someone figures it out. Impound the vehicle if need be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet email for dummies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We all had to learn somehow. Some of the Dummies books were pretty good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a bunch of federal agencies on there now. Just reported a bunch of misinformation posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I had some fun with Day-Z and Player Unknown’s Battle Royale, but the repetitive rounds in those sorts of mods got boring to me pretty quickly. Especially the scavenging for gear each time, I just wanted to battle but it feels like work.

  I have the same sort of issue with RTS games where you are in a race to build your base and units, I don’t enjoy speed harvesting and building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just shake my hands into the sink a few times, bypass the dryer and wipe my hands on my pants and let them dry as I walk. Doesn’t take long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They tried to lock people into the Xbox ecosystem instead of being open like Steam Deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pls call⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is anybody gonna eat them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They locked me in a room with stab rats⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This meme stabbed me in the funny bone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube to give banned creators a 'second chance' after rule rollback⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ofc!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is frustrating to see wilted plants at stores sometimes.
