• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Tried updating earlier today and it immediately failed. Guess I got lucky and it was already pulled offline at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assassin’s Creed. The actual gameplay is almost never as interesting as just walking around a meticulous recreation of ancient civilizations as a digital tourist.

  Ridiculously fast. More than double than what most people will drive on a highway. Illegal on a highway anywhere but Germany. And even here it would be quite unsafe and thus illegal in most driving conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if USA invades Canada?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You think a U.S. military base isn’t getting kicked the fuck out of a foreign country the moment they are declared an enemy?

  No, or rather I don’t think many countries would immediately be willing declare them an enemy. Europe shies away from armed conflict and quick, decisive actions unfortunately aren’t our strong suit either. I’d fully expect a drawn out political shitshow before anything actually happens.

  Or do you have such a little opinion of everyone else that you think a couple of military bases will immediately take over every European county at once?

  Take over? No. But I do think they’d be a deterrence factor, especially considering they also carry nukes.

  What would be the reaction of the Canada King (Charles III is the king of Canada)?

  Absaolutely nothing. Maybe some strong words. He has no power.

  The Commonwealth? NATO?

  Tough to say. Getting actively involved in a war in North America would be very difficult logistically for the European countries or the Commonwealth, so I don’t think there would be an immediate military reaction. Possibly a Ukraine-type situation where the NATO countries try to aid Canada with equipment as best as they can. But even that will be difficult across the Atlantic ocean, which the US can probably blockade. Local politics would be absolute chaos, with an ally that many countries have relied on suddenly turning enemy. With the US having military bases everywhere, they could also threaten countries into keeping out of the war. I think the situation would unfortunately be quite bleak for Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. But will it be profitable and will enough people want to use it? I think most likely the answer is no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No rumble is a deal breaker for a $60 controller. I think I’ll stick with 8bitdo and maybe wait for a new Valve controller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloud Imperium quietly steal Star Citizen developers' weekends from under them with mandated overtime in the lead up to Citizencon⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately par for the course in game development.

  I have a Z flip and while it’s far from perfect, foldable flip phones are great and I’d choose them over a same-spec regular phone every day. Much more convenient to carry in my pocket compared to a slab and basically having an included tripod for photos is pretty nice as well.
