  Y’know, I use telegram significantly, despite being generally privacy-minded. I won’t get into that here, it’s been discussed to death already. But Jesus Christ I wish they’d move on from the crypto/nft garbage. They were on a roll with features, as evidenced by other platforms adopting them regularly, but now it’s always this crap mixed in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uhhm What?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What… What exactly am I supposed to do with the knowledge that this exists?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me identify a filament's material⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Need to know what material your build plate is made of to guess what wouldn’t stick to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Senator Warner Presses Valve to Crack Down on Hateful Accounts and Rhetoric Proliferating on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a quick correction, this is Mark Warner, not Elizabeth Warren. Otherwise I agree with you though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I throw up after smoking weed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While CHS is the likely culprit, it could also be an allergy that’s built up over time. Most people don’t realize it’s possible to be allergic to cannabis, but it is indeed. Source: I’m allergic to cannabis.

  If so, look into desensitization methods. Not sure if they work with an acquired allergy or not though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam will let you sue Valve now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, that claim sounds like garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, same. Works fine for me, I never wanted the features that disables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got an LG because despite how it looks, you can just refuse to agree to a bunch of their privacy agreements and be fine. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it would be otherwise, and miles ahead of Samsung’s lack of options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Battleye is, but they didn’t enable it for Linux. Literally a switch, and they failed to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a few Linux/Steam Deck players pissed that Rockstar just nuked their ability to play without warning or reason as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Made a succulent planter thing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks great! Well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aftermath: Valve’s Baffling Deadlock Decisions Don’t Need Defending⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually enjoyed Battleborn, so that doesn’t sound bad to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sovereign citizen group is using a fake court to justify child kidnapping and extortion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well this is a brand new level of crazy. I’m almost impressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB-C cables can talk⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  USB 3.x actually does produce 2.4GHz interference, which could cause stuttering if you use Bluetooth and your adapter is too close to the USB port/hub or a USB 3 device. Shielding for USB 3 devices and cables does matter, and lack of shielding is part of why Chinese devices from Amazon (or worse, Temu/AliExpress) are so cheap. That’s about as crazy as it gets though, sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's basic science⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While I agree with you, Gatorade released a Pedialyte competitor called Gatorlyte recently. Similar benefits but half the price. I’d recommend that (or a similarly cheap option if another exists) to keep from breaking the bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone with a shrimp allergy, I have to be careful with my coffee too. Certain regions, such as Colombia, are notorious for high cockroach content in their coffee.

  There’s a profanity filter?

  Yeeeeeeep. One of those “no one likes talking about it” things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  and have never had canker sores

  They come from a virus most people have living dormant inside them. Various factors may increase the breakout rate, but the virus is the true source. Sounds like you’re one of the lucky few uninfected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's like they know...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, “specific equipment” is a $20 reader on amazon, so while true, it’s not exactly a problem to user service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deluge keeps failing downloads to error every few hundred MBs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re not working over a VPN, it may be your ISP trying to stop you from torrenting. Otherwise I have no guesses unfortunately.
