- Comment on Concerned my scanner may snitch on me. 22 hours ago:
Depending on a few factors it just might!
Try scanning euros.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 1 day ago:
This image fills my heart with dread :[
This reminds me of when a lab technician explained to me what happens to all the mice at the end of the experiment. 😭
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 2 days ago:
Probably want to encode it on a WORM tape. (Suggestion used LTO drives on eBay)
Then store it in the centre of a sealed medium iron box filled with silica. (Take care not to damage the tape, without trapping moisture.)
I’d imagine it would work well if you can keep the hardware to use it functional.
- Comment on Why is the spellchecker in Firefox so abysmal? 2 days ago:
Firefox has spell check dictionaries available on the extensions page.
- Comment on What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop? 2 days ago:
Let’s plays of your favourite games.
All it takes is time and a charming personality.
- Comment on Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? 1 week ago:
10am sounds like a dream. My school was open at 7am and went to 7pm.
Sometimes I would only have 3 classes in a day. One at 7am to 9am, then 12pm to 1pm and a class right at 5pm.
There was just enough gap that it didn’t make sense to commute home. That’s when I discovered an Ethernet port with unlimited bandwidth.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 1 week ago:
Regular moderate exercise and avoiding just eating mostly sugar has helped me.
- Comment on Where will nsfw game creators go now that itch.io has "changed"? 1 week ago:
jastusa.com (NSFW) seems unaffected currently and vendors on itch have been using them as well.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Games is working on another live-service game, despite Suicide Squad flop | Eurogamer 1 week ago:
They still need to finish back4blood!
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 2 weeks ago:
If they are from the 80s or older there’s potentially a healthy used parts market on eBay.
Newer stuff tends to be less desirable unless it was particularly popular like a voodoo card or apple device.
- Comment on Please tell me 3 weeks ago:
If this ain’t purple I’ll be disappointed.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m in wikipedia because I was included in the special thanks category of a movie. (not a full page, but thought it was cool.)
- Comment on What's the REAL minimum power supply needed for a RTX 5060 Ti? 4 weeks ago:
Whatever the box says.
I’ve tried to cheat fate before by being just 50w under the label and got screwed for it.
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 4 weeks ago:
I’m awaiting the fireworks for when they use AI to patch the Cobol systems still used by the banks.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 4 weeks ago:
This feels like one of those xkcd questions.
Without involving maths, its fair to say it wouldn’t be unlike having it launched by an explosion.
The closest thing I can recall related to this concept would be Project HARP.
Whatever you’re launching would need to be capable of absorbing the unreal amount of G force and survive the resistance of the atmosphere. As you’ll be required to launch the spaceship at escape velocity with a delta of near 0.
I don’t believe rubber has the material strengths necessary to achieve that launch while still being able to store it on the face of the planet. So, imagine a ball of elastics the size of the sun and maybe there’s a chance because of the slow rate of acceleration achievable by not being on the earth any more.
- Comment on Is there a font/typeface designing program that is available for Windows or Linux that supports creation of variable fonts and OpenType features? 4 weeks ago:
So, this is out of my element. But does Inkscape work for you?
I found this page where some people are talking about it.

- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 4 weeks ago:
You should be able to select “GE-Proton(Latest)” as your runner in Lutris. But if its missing for some reason, github.com/gloriouseggroll/proton-ge-custom
I haven’t noticed any major issues between using Lutris and Steam for the games I play.
- Comment on EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support. 4 weeks ago:
So I just tried this form. It’s not making you login to an account it’s just so they have somewhere to respond to your message it appears.

- Comment on EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support. 4 weeks ago:
If you ever bought a game on steam that went to EA you might be able to use these buttons?
- Comment on How can I improve this? It's my current living and bedroom. 4 weeks ago:
Needs a $4000 gaming laptop and half of an Ikea desk.
- Comment on I have about 55 hours of flights coming up. I’m thinking about the deus ex collection. Any thoughts? 5 weeks ago:
CDDA is great for when you’re trying to game without heavy battery drain.
cataclysmdda.org it’s a procedurally generated survival adventure game.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Is this missing a picture?
- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 5 weeks ago:
It’s cool for little things when working on an unfamiliar project or learning something new.
But don’t trust one example and read about the features you’re using.
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 1 month ago:
A coin toss has two possible outcomes (possibilities). Head and tails.
There is also the extreme implausibility with a >1% probability that it will land on its edge but still more possible than 1000 heads in a row.
- Comment on Well, are you? 1 month ago:

- Comment on Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads? 1 month ago:
You should be able to use a ps5 controller with it.
- Comment on Can I learn how to "photoshop" images without PhotoShop^TM and also on my iPhone? 1 month ago:
Here are a couple of completely free tools to explore your goals.
Adobe’s suite isn’t the king it once was.
docs.krita.org/en/ (powerful image editing)
inkscape.org/learn/ (vector illustrations)
docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ (animation tool)
cdn.openshot.org/static/files/…/index.html (video Editor)
Most of these tools are more capable than I described and there are many more foss tools out there.
