- Comment on You'll Soon Have to Pay $20 a Month to Access Copilot's Coolest Features 10 months ago:
I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.
I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.
- Comment on Control - the first game to get me to turn on cheats in decades 10 months ago:
Control is on my backlog list. Thanks for the writeup. Now I know what to expect.
Using cheats for 1 player offline games is 100% OK in my book. I am an adult with so much responsabilties and little time to game. Sitting for 2 hours frustrated on something and not progressing is just not my idea of fun. Nudging yourself through with the help of cheats, easy mode or anything else is totally valid.
I have done this with a few games. Disgaea games come to mind… I know most of the enjoyment of those games comes from the grind to level up and get stronger to then grind some more… But I just couldn’t make myself fight the same level 25 times to earn enough XP to upgrade so I memory edited the values just enough to simulate me grinding for 2 hours in 5 minutes. Not enough to break the game but enough to get me through the grindy parts.
And any offline 1 player game that tries that shit will get memory edited right away.
Of course I will always try to do it the intended way, as long as it’s not annoying to me.

- Comment on The Google Play Store Ruling Is Bad News for Longtime Android Phone Users 11 months ago:
Mate. Trusting a company not to shaft you when you have no alternatives is never a good idea. It is actually really bad.
Companies do not act towards the benefit of the customer. It is always towards a better bottom line, and those decisions many times do not have your best interest at heart. If you have no choices, the companies have no incentive to make your experience any better. (see Internet Explorer). Competition is always a good thing. It forces companies to be better. The key word there is forces because they will not do it on their own.

I had to double back to your comment because at first I glances at it and thought yeah… Then I thought about it some more and thought … Yes! That is exactly how they work. Papers plus or minus but that is the way they work. We all agree upon it and bam. You are now named!

Never thought of it that way but yeah. Gave up his name without actually giving it up. Brilliant. That guy was savy as fuck. Also a genius.

- Comment on Is there a way to enable in-chat incoming message sounds for Samsung phones? 11 months ago:
In my country we mostly use WhatsApp and it has a specific option in the menus that says ‘in chat notification sound’ which does exactly what you are looking for.
What I would suggest is try another messaging app that is more feature rich such as textra. I bet they do a better job at handling notifications than the default app.

I have never pumped my own fuel on my car except when I visit the US. I feel like a 7 year old handling that pump thing. Happy I don’t have to do that where I live.

Thanks. I quickly tried it on YouTube and did get an ad. So I guess it doesn’t work on those. Bummer.

The Binding of Isaac.
This is the eternal game of ever. It is balanced, fair, excellent feedback (time to win), super I’m depth unlocks, one of the best meta games. Take the time to learn the basics and this game is infinite.

That’s where fakespot comes into play. I have the add on on my browser and it rates the reviews. Anything below a B is probably filled with fakes. You can even sort the entries using fakespot adjusted review scores.
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 1 year ago:
I have a water container I need to take care of in my house. An ultrasonic sensor hooked to my raspberry 3b uploads the collected data to my vps that later serves an html through Flask to show the water level. It has a few alarms so that I can take action at the appropriate time. The ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 suck and I have to replace them quite frequently. Other then that it works really well.
