Wat?
- Comment on Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average 1 year ago:
But what about Fortnite and Valorant?
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
Fortnite and Valorant don’t work on Linux.

- Comment on Microsoft Edge could use a win 1 year ago:
I used and liked it for a few years, but now they started filling it with bloat ware again… switched to Firefox last month.

This is a deep one…
- Comment on They Need To Stop Doing This 1 year ago:
Unions only make sense when you are easily replaceable as a worker so you don’t have any barganing power on your own. As an individual IT worker you can usually tell your boss to fuck off if things get bad and just look for a new better job…
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 available at end of October 2023 1 year ago:
Actually available, or like 10 pieces per country that cost 300$?
- Comment on New Architecture Design Proposal for Lemmy 1 year ago:
I think the issue with this is that posts from other instances would have a huge delay. Basically the mods would have to appove EVERY single post.

- Comment on Voter ID in England led to racial and disability discrimination, report finds 1 year ago:
If you are that endagered you would also not be casually walking around with a normal mask… They are not a 100% protection.
- Comment on Voter ID in England led to racial and disability discrimination, report finds 1 year ago:
Yes that, but very early so the chance is high that I vote before the real guy.
- Comment on Voter ID in England led to racial and disability discrimination, report finds 1 year ago:
How is that secure though? I could easily figure out that information for people of my gender and in my age range…
- Comment on Voter ID in England led to racial and disability discrimination, report finds 1 year ago:
The authors found that “polling clerks are more likely to fail to compare a photo ID to the person presenting that document if the person is of a different ethnicity”.
They also highlighted the case of Andrea Barratt, who is immunocompromised and was blocked from entering a polling booth after refusing to remove her mask for an identification check.
WTF am I even reading? The problem is that some clerks are too stupid to identify non-white persons? And that someone else refused to take off the mask for 2 seconds to show her face!!?
- Comment on Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality 1 year ago:
I think we are actually saying the same thing though…? Tests should really only ensure functionality. It should be the language’s job to help you with obvious implementation errors (such as using a wrong value type).
- Comment on Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality 1 year ago:
My point was that without a type system you need an impossible 100% code coverage, to be sure that you didn’t accidentally mess up some variable assignment or parameter somewhere, since you have nothings to easily and automatically catch those errors.
- Comment on Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality 1 year ago:
A quick check everytime when you build / package the code is surely more effective than a human code review.
Also the difficulty of coding in a language where there isn’t any static type analysis still remains. How does it even work, do you have to do a manual text search everytime you change some existing function or class?
- Comment on Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality 1 year ago:
The trivial problem here being knowing what kinda of parameter some random function somewhere in your code expects… And your code not randomly breaking in production when someone changes that function after you already used it.
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
So it has perceived value…
But that guy above was saying that it’s worthless and trivial to implement…
You can’t have it both ways.
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
But DLSS is an Nvidia DLL, you’re not even licensed to redistribute it - and you’re not doing anything special, you’re hooking into the data the engine spews out for FSR.
If it’s not anything special, someone else could just “easily” reproduce it instead of having to pirate it?
- Comment on Spread Your Wings: Falcon 180B is here 1 year ago:
But what exactly is a model? Can I download and run it? Do I need to access it through their API? Do I need to pay for some server that has all the needed software already running on it? It seems open and not open at the same time.
- Comment on Spread Your Wings: Falcon 180B is here 1 year ago:
Am I the only one that really hates huggingface? It’s such a confusing website to use, and most of the time the things just spit out errors. And I’m never sure if this is just a free thing, or a demo, or something that I have to pay.
Like what is the proper way to use that thing?!

- Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way 1 year ago:
Bad content feels much much worse to me. E.g it is so infuriating to see those fake prank videos with tons of likes and positive comments. It kills my hope in humanity every time… At least an ad could be for some interesting legit product. 🫠
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 1 year ago:
It kinda had a small viral moment in my social circles about half a year ago or so…
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 1 year ago:
I’m 30 and as far as I remember everything always was “in the DMs” for all the different social circles I’ve had. Public posts were always a rare thing for special events or so. MSN, ICQ, Skype, WhatsApp, Discord,…
- Comment on As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
The problem is that I as an user don’t necessarily know what I want to see. What if there is some super interesting hashtag out there, but I don’t even know that it exists?

That’s doesn’t help when pirating tho
- Comment on What antivirus software should i use? 1 year ago:
An adblocker in your browser, and using only known sites to download stuff.
