- Comment on Dating app Bumble will no longer require women to make the first move | CNN Business 2 weeks ago:
Basically my experience
- Comment on CFCs 2 months ago:
How is Starship dumb exactly? Making a new thing at any extreme of our current capability is going to be hard and its not unexpected when something goes wrong. What would be dumb is if they put human lives on the line
- Comment on CFCs 2 months ago:
For each second that passes we’re one second closer to 2038
- Comment on Instagram and Facebook delete the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader 3 months ago:
Everything bad that’s happening anywhere is the west’s fault, haven’t you been keeping up? /s
It’s pretty interesting when people denounce the west (which isn’t unfounded) but then give zero agency to anyone else.
- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 3 months ago:
I want to get into RSS but all the apps I’ve tried have been lacking. I want to subscribe to the Factorio blog and be able to see their GIFs/videos directly but so far no app has been able to do that. Either they don’t load any images (wtf?) or they just load a static preview that I then have to click to actually play. Does anyone know of an RSS app that can load GIFs/videos automatically?
- Comment on YouTube demonetizes public domain 'Steamboat Willie' video after copyright claim 4 months ago:
You can’t argue with some of these anti-corporation people. I dislike greedy CEOs and shareholders as much as the next guy but a company hosting and streaming videos need some sort of revenue to keep those servers running.
- Comment on Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing 4 months ago:
They definitely will be, question is how long it’ll take
- Comment on Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing 4 months ago:
I’ve never tried a folding phone but to me it seems like a jack of all trades, master of none. The 4:3 aspect ratio, black bars on basically all videos, and easily damaged screen seem like big negatives.
I’d be interested to see if I’m wrong if I ever get a chance to use one.
- Comment on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds 4 months ago:
Hydo is limited in where it can be used and where it can be used if often already is. Batteries can’t yet provide a grid level base load. I don’t know much about green hydrogen but there’s usually a loss of energy when converting from one medium to another.
- Comment on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds 4 months ago:
Yeah, I don’t disagree but it’s a proven technology that can provide a baseline load for the grid. Something we can’t yet do reliably with renewables
- Comment on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds 4 months ago:
Energy generation that works most of the time is more expensive than energy generation that only works some of the time, big surprise. Mason problem is that we need energy all the time and currently can’t store it on a grid level.
- Comment on Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" 5 months ago:
It just magically appears /s Its disingenuous to try and justify piracy on the basis that the performers have already been paid. I don’t agree with studios either of course, customers are being scammed
- Comment on Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? 5 months ago:
It had me intrigued at first but it didn’t really lead anywhere. Overrated game with pretty dated graphics imho
- Comment on YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads. 6 months ago:
You’re getting unfairly downvoted. I agree with the negative sentiment around Google but the only semi-alternative is nebula but they obviously don’t have the same amount of content. It’s not reasonable to expect YouTube to operate for free
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 7 months ago:
Why so angry? It’s a great game in VR so why shouldn’t people recommend it. If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine, don’t buy a VR headset
