- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 20 hours ago:
You don’t need a lawyer in small claims. Can also go with a paralegal or just represent yourself.
But that’s not why the small claims is backlogged anyway. I have actually no idea why it’s backlogged. I’ve been a defendant in a small claims court case since 2001 and nothing has progressed except for an arbitration hearing in 2002.
- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 1 day ago:
I’ve read a creepy pasta somewhere from this guy’s pov, that somehow discovered a computer at one of the businesses they took over as a contracted IT, think car wash or something, and they’ve ended up discovering a computer in a closet that was networked with other computers in the area to share CSAM and other smut. I forgot how the story ended as it was fairly long, but they were describing the technical non-sophistication of the whole network in great detail. The PCs were basically just networked windows xp workstations or something, without any sort of password protection on them or their shared folders.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 days ago:
I think the mice and keyboard requiring “Chrome” is actually due to WebHID. WebHID is only supported in Chromium browsers. Now here’s the fun part, this thread has VIA mentioned a couple times and even though VIA/QMK/ZMK are FOSS, the usevia.app website requires a, you guessed it, WebHID capable browser.
That said, don’t use Logitech keyboards. Sell it to a sucker on local and buy any of the above compatible keyboards instead. Drop CSTM, Luminkey, Keychron, Akko, QK NEO, CK Bakaneko, there’s probably couple more that are affordable and quality. Just don’t fall for GMMK, Ducky and other pseudo-gaming crap. Also visit !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml and ask questions.
Not sure about your trackball problem.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 5 days ago:
Wizardry 7 comes to my mind. My party has been resting for days, trying to recover hp and sp from the last random encounter. And now as I’m jumped and half obliterated again because not everyone in the party woke up immediately to being attacked, it’s time to rest for another week.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 5 days ago:
11 pro and never had this problem. Screen dimmed to minimum and Night Shift turned on, it still unlocks just fine.
- Comment on Do you ever get frustrated at your own creation? 1 week ago:
I’m 45 and have never felt this way.
You should seek help imo. Or simply keep talking about it with others, like you attempt to do here. But less spending time online would probably help.

- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 weeks ago:
I love good self checkouts. I hate bad self checkouts.
Bad self checkouts are those that alert the sole employee running around between twenty terminals of some discrepancy for every fucking thing. Weight discrepancy! Remove duplicate item! They didn’t select number of bags! Check their receit!
Just leave me be and let me scan my flatbread and leave already. Or open another cashier. Or just don’t implement self-checkout if it’s not really self-checkout.
- Comment on How come drug dealers seem to have a messed up house or at least a messed up car with a bunch of trash in it? 2 weeks ago:
My “dealer” is a small woman from the burbs. She drives a Dodge ram or something. Pretty sure she compensates her size with that beast. One time when she rolled by my place, she parked briefly on the street across lazily while getting stuff out of the back. Back seat, not the cargo bed. That one was always empty.
- Comment on Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 weeks ago:
I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this.
I’ve been following your posts daily, and this is probably the most interesting one yet.
- Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee? 3 weeks ago:
So going by OP’s analogy, we should make cherry juice out of all the varieties of cherries.

- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 4 weeks ago:
A GTA 6.5 would be amazing. With self hosted server multiplayer.
- Comment on I'm not a good liar but need to pretend I like my current job and not rant about how much I dislike it till I find a job I like more. How do I make my coworkers and supervisors believe this lie? 5 weeks ago:
On the contrary. I think peds, especially nicu and neonatal surgery depts can be incredibly rewarding. Or so my mother who retired from it as a nurse after forty years tells me.

The egg makes it deliciously creamy.
I also add bananas and walnuts usually.
- Comment on I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ? 1 month ago:
Take a cup of steel cut oats (NOT rolled or instant), put them in pot with four times it’s volume in water. Bring to a boil then simmer for about twenty minutes stirring occasionally. Add half a cup of milk and one egg near the end. Stir well. Mix with honey if you like it sweet. Add some nuts and berries. Dig in.
A breakfast that’s not worthless.

- Comment on We played Valve’s secret new shooter: Deadlock 1 month ago:
TF2 is a class based team deathmatch FPS. One class, one character.
In hero shooters you have multiple characters with different abilities that make them distinct from each other, yet all can conform to a certain class type and role.

- Comment on Knife vs. Gun Control? 1 month ago:
I had one of those in high school and took it with me to a school trip in my back pack. We were at camp (think log houses) for three nights and I started spinning the blade daily. Lots of cuts (mostly on my hands) later I’ve learned to flip it like a pro. I can still do it to this day if someone hands me one. It’s like biking or swimming. Once you learn it, you don’t forget.
The teacher that was with us never said anything besides watching my progress. He was the coolest dude ever. I miss you, Mr Jones.

I must have been under a rock.
No wonder they were able to unionize so quickly. And I bet they had to, knowing Microsoft’s track record.
