  Neo was powerful. I wonder if he could have gained the same abilities, without the help of Morpheus, throughout his time in the matrix. Were he able to do so, he could have lived a nice life inside. I guess Neo felt a higher calling to free mankind or something, so he left… or maybe Morpheus just didn’t tell him the whole picture before offering the pill. Morpheus probably needed a powerful warrior and just rolled the dice on Neo.
  Anyway… had I known the whole picture, I’d have stayed inside.

  This kinda kills the value proposition of a deck. Its a good machine, but struggles with high end titles. Were the performance or battery life better, I’d have overlooked the price but its still the same machine. A more powerful successor would fit this price point, not the original machine.

  As long as alternatives or similar products exist at current prices, the deck will be a hard sell.

  Its not a weed if its useful. It may just be a little “unwanted at the moment”.

  This is the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. You may have seen it in movies like Forrest Gump.
  Trump decided to paint it blue like a swimming pool and the job looks to be going bad.
  Trump personally chose the color, contractors without asking anyone really or going through the proper channels like getting approval from congress and input from the public.
  In the years to come, the blue pool will mark the time during which Trump was the president of the USA. Its visitors will look down upon their reflection and see blue, as another reminder they were the ones who elected him.

  Maybe the imperialists were on to something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better than a machine which we don’t know the performance or price of? WOW!
  But seriously, yeah you’re probably gonna be able to match steam machine performance with your own build, maybe under price or over depending on your region. You will not be able to put it in a sub 4L case. That’s the real trick valve is pulling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games: EU Parliament Hearing on the ‘Stop Destroying Videogames’ ECI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Killing’ is the movement, ‘destroying’ is the EU initiative. There is no rename, they both exist. Why different? They take you more seriously in law making settings of you don’t use euphemisms and are coincise with your wording.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's already running⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik, Microsoft made it a core principle to not break backward compatibility. Something that mattered to a lot of enterprise users. Applications made in Windows XP era, still work today on Win 11.

  A one dimensional political spectrum! Proper shit post, sir!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School of hard knocks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can generally use CS as a springboard into most tech related fields. Where its most helpful is probably research and academia.
  If programming is even remotely interesting for you, getting a low paying junior dev job will probably teach you more and you can use that as a springboard into more software dev, data, AI, cybersecurity, networking. As long as you are willing to learn on the job and push yourself forward.

  Definitely. I have coax cable, as do most people outside of cities and get 1000/50.

  The true cost of the game is much higher though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any day now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the thing, sidewalks have a speed limit to ensure the safety of everyone on them. Scooters or bikes can go faster, yet get to share that space. Me being mad at these things on sidewalks is me being mad at the city planers not giving them their own lane.

  Just two, don’t wanna say which for privacy reasons.

  I do want learn Dutch though. I think it sounds whimsical, and I’d love to meet a Dutch woman that can beat my ass (i heard they’re headstrong and dont take any shit).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shoutout to yall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I eat junk food. I treat my body like a trash can. Doesn’t mean I treat the environment I live in the same. I share that environment with other people. While I may be trash inside, I don’t extend that where it intrudes upon other people. I care more about others than myself.
  I think you are wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blows his dad's mind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always tend to use ‘they’ when the gender is unknown. I read it somewhere long ago and thought… wait… why is this plural? And learned it is a gender neutral pronoun. I refer to everyone I don’t know as ‘they’ now. God is more of an ‘it’ in my mind, but that’s beside the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blows his dad's mind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahem… are we assuming something?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blows his dad's mind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In case anyone was wondering: they’re there in case you change your mind later on and want to transition. God left them there as a backup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: BAD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plur1bus can do so much, but they do so little! The whole first season felt very empty to me. Aliens bad, aliens good, aliens bad. There you go, you’re up to speed. I do eagerly await to see if they can escalate it in the second season.
  Neither of the shows bored me, but breaking bad had much better writing.
