  “When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”

  Dude just wasn’t very smart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there’s a big difference between snatching people off the street and making ad targeting smarter. Yeah they both suck, but orders of magnitude here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bird watching is still a popular hobby

  Gotta eat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still hoping Alan Wake 2 will end up on Steam some day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to have gotten a pretty mediocre reception in a crowded market space prone to “winner takes all”, so flopped pretty hard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any swifties here to verify this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in my day we only had music about wholesome topics like giving women jewelry (“she want a pearl necklace”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I cognitively performing less than I could've been if I hadn't drunk alcohol at that age?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, doesn’t matter because you can’t change the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bilewater boss isn’t that hard once you realize you can stand in the water and spam ranged attacks at him. The arena fight preceding him is harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I installed one that gives me 1000 rosaries when I press f3. I came to the conclusion that being able to buy things was more about grinding than anything else, and I didn’t enjoy it.

  Technically cheating I guess but I don’t think it really makes the game any easier.

  This is almost certainly a sampling error.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The board who determines their pay for a public company. For a private company whoever owns the company - if that’s the CEO then maybe they’d implement the AI CEO then just retire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we were *just a lil evil*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a standard pizza box server. Blades are something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’ll remove the gambling. Probably not but it would be good if they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun yet unknown gameplay MECHANICS? (POLL)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …wikipedia.org/…/Dynamic_game_difficulty_balancin…

  Apparently it’s more common than I realized. Most games doing it apparently don’t tell you it’s happening. For example I played RE4 when it was new and had no idea it had dynamic difficulty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all American stores have greeters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only ever seen this at Walmart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when a cake is farted on?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literal shit post. This is a stupid question, get out of here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolutionarily speaking, wouldn't premature ejaculation be considered the desired trait?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never had a problem with a dog humping your leg?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When real life generates the shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude hasn’t been relevant since the 90s. Who cares what he thinks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨emergency remote access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The term to look for is out of band management. Typically this will provide serial/console access to a device, and can often perform actions like power cycling. A lot of server hardware has this built in (eg idrac for Dell, IPMI generically). Some users will have a separate oobm network for remotely accessing/managing everything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People hated immigrants DURING the time period you’re thinking of. And it wasn’t always a skin color thing either, the Irish were one of the big targets for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia helped but 3DFX released a couple of bad products in a row.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Intel never really tried to be a real competitor until a few years ago. 3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide. There were a few other smaller manufacturers in the late 90s and early 2000s but they never really had significant market share and couldn’t keep up with the investment required to be competitive.

  Why does anyone care about him in the first place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been interesting to see this agenda switch from D to R over the least 30 years in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV - Official Announce Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, not being developed by Relic huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They took our free break!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is old news. I’ve still never seen one in person, so I don’t think it’s a real thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antimatter, an expansive sandbox strategy game with planetary colonization, city-building, space station building, spaceship design and galactic exploration, releases a demo on Steam.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried the demo, couldn’t figure out how to do anything, gave up. Bit too alpha for me at the moment, I’ll try again when it’s further along. The demo is very rough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a traditional roguelike with tiles…

  Honestly yeah, graphics snob. I agree that if you played it for a few hours you’d get used to it.

  I use hot water and a chainmail scrubber
