- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 7 hours ago:
Real flails were medieval agricultural tools
How were they used agriculturally?
- Comment on YSK that a good way to clear pepper spray from your eyes is water with baby shampoo 8 hours ago:
Or get actual safety goggles instead of something made for a different purpose?
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 10 hours ago:
Expanding on what others have answered, Trump is extremely suggestible due to dementia. He literally just agrees with whoever told him something last because he can’t think on his own anymore.
That’s why it’s even more vital to get rid of fascist advisors like Steven Miller than it is to get rid of Trump himself.

False accusations mean nothing.
- Comment on Stardew Valley Creator Shuts Down Rumors Haunted Chocolatier 'Will Be Abandoned,' Insisting: 'It Will Come Out When It’s Ready' - IGN 1 day ago:
there is always going to be cut content
Or said another way, not having cut content means they released a rough draft instead of editing and refining it.
- Comment on Stardew Valley Creator Shuts Down Rumors Haunted Chocolatier 'Will Be Abandoned,' Insisting: 'It Will Come Out When It’s Ready' - IGN 1 day ago:
Two free (major) updates: 1.5 and 1.6 both came out after Haunted Chocolatier was announced.

“Little Brother”, you say?
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Oh no, murderous criminal thugs might become victims. How terrible.
- Comment on A matter of patience 4 days ago:
(It’s funny because we can’t stop them from passing straight through the pool.)
- Comment on Truth hurts! 4 days ago:
Utahraptor is the size of the ones in the movie and was discovered the same year the movie came out. I like to think that’s what they are, but Chriton and/or Spielburg just thought “velociraptor” was a cooler name.
- Comment on Evolutionary Planetary 1 week ago:
Please cite sources for your meme.
(No seriously, I want to read them!)
- Comment on The betrayal 1 week ago:
How do emulators handle games that want to use the VMU as an auxiliary display? (Did that actually ever matter?)
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 week ago:
[Microsoft are] just literal thieves.
Always have been.
(But now it’s worse because it’s the entire public, not just their competitors)
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
What disgusting cope. Don’t you have any self-respect?
Just because you can work around the abuse doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you.
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 1 week ago:
Let me guess, you’re a “business man”?
- Comment on Most mouse pointers designs assume right-handed users 2 weeks ago:
KDE does that too.
- Comment on Why do crappy parents defend their child when they are masively publicly misbehaving and being shitheads? 2 weeks ago:
“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.
- Comment on Valve stress again that there'll be more Steam Machine Verified games than Steam Deck ones, with "fewer constraints" in their testing programme 2 weeks ago:
As more variety of hardware gets released, sooner or later Valve is going to need a “compatible with SteamOS” test that has little or nothing to do with hardware specs and will basically be equivalent to a generic “this game works in [at least one distro of] Linux” statement. I look forward to that.
- Comment on Indonesia blocks Grok over non-consensual, sexualized deepfakes 2 weeks ago:
Temporarily? Boooooo.
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 weeks ago:
Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it!
It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 3 weeks ago:
“This is wrong” — Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight
Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Do you have to be European?

- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 3 weeks ago:
Would you happen to have a source for that? Admittedly this is based on nothing more than my anecdotal experience living through it, but I owned a PocketPC back then and I distinctly remember feeling like I was in the minority.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 3 weeks ago:
I’m OOTL. Why don’t people recommend GitLab?
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 3 weeks ago:
What does that have to do with water pressure? In that system, the energy comes from the heat.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 3 weeks ago:
When was that? I only remember Palm having a lead, and then Blackberry, and then iOS and Android. Windows CE and Windows Mobile were never more than also-rans.
