- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 4 hours ago:
But Microsoft already bought Activision Blizzard.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 1 day ago:
I’ve never seen the originals, as he’s not that popular in Europe. My only exposure is “Bill Nye Saves The World” on Netflix. I couldn’t get past the first episode.
I’m a big fan of Sagan, and while I don’t think NDT’a Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey was as good as the first series, I was mostly looking at Nye’s show with the same lense and trying to draw comparisons between them.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 1 day ago:
I personally found his style really abrasive in the first and only recent show I’ve seen. Reddit was shitting all over him too, stating mostly that he’s a prick and not friendly IRL at all.
That said what he advocates for is right.

Sorry. By manga I’ve meant image data, like pngs or JPEGs.
- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 2 days ago:
Is there something similar for manga? Something that can overlay Japanese text on images, similar to what we have on smartphones but for the PC?

Man, I had an uncle that would routinely go 5 around his cottage. He always wore an oversized shirt that would cover his bits, but still. Weird dude.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 2 days ago:
QMK and ZMK are FOSS firmwares that can run on Atmel AVR and ARM chips like the RP2040.
VIA or VIAL are config utilities that you can use to remap your keyboard on the fly.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 2 days ago:
Sell the 8bitdo keyboard and buy one instead that is capable of running with QMK or ZMK firmware and is configurable by either VIA or VIAL.

No one calls out decimals in Celsius. Unless you are measuring your kids fever. 38.1 vs 38.5 vs 38.9 you know that it’s time to ready the metamizole if it keeps creeping up like that
0°C is the frost point of water. If you know it will dip below that during the night, you can prepare your plants, driveway, kids (I’m sorry my love summer is over), pets, clothes, etc the day prior.
-40° is -40° though, doesn’t matter if it’s F or C. The best part of both scales.
- Comment on The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun 1 week ago:
Yeah, it was a very wasteful system. As in wasting both my time and that of tax payers.
I didn’t care that I was technically entitled for unemployment money. After the first three locations that I’ve gotten offered, including sitting through a job seminar that quasi-turned into a car-wash operator course, where I was surrounded by folks that were really eager to take that job offer, I’ve declined further appointments at the youth job centre and sought out IT employers by myself.

Maybe this is too communist for some people, but it would be nice if some government body just matched me with a job that matched my skillset and education
I actually used government services, while unemployed, back in the early 2000s, but they were very miss. All they seemed to be focusing on was you hitting a quota of seeking out employers that they have listed for you, regardless of what you claimed to be as your profession or qualifications. Just so you can stay on the dole.

I use Arch btw.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 2 weeks ago:
Laser Squad, playing couch hot-seat is what sent me down this path.
I really liked Jagged Alliance 2, Afterlight and especially X-COM: Apocalypse. Apocalypse had such radical departures from the first two Ufo titles, which did not make it very well liked among enthusiasts, in particular the real-time battle mode. But the game had such fun mechanics and steep difficulty curve, I really enjoyed the challenge of it, as opposed to getting another Enemy Unknown clone that was TFTD.
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 2 weeks ago:

I’d like to point out that this:
see, for instance, the deliberate slowing-down-with-updates scandal from a few years ago.
this never happened. What you may be referring to is Batterygate where they would intentionally throttle older devices based on their age and presumed battery degradation in order to give the devices a longer life span. The articles also mention that since iOS 11 / iPhone 11 the phones have better battery management and monitoring.
My 11 Pro that I have bought in 2020 April is still working as well as on the day of purchase. This is after one battery swap in 2024 April, when battery degraded below 80% capacity and the system announced that performance would be throttled. It is expected that the 11 Pro lineup will retain new updates until at least 2026 September.
Now here’s the thing: these newer iPhone Pro models age so well, with just a battery swap every ~3-4 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if some movement in the EU will step up to force legislation on extending support for them. But still, six years of support is pretty good compared to most other vendors.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 3 weeks ago:
Right. But I meant if SteamOS or Bazzite had that feature already for the ROG Ally, why reinstall an objectively worse OS when it also gains that feature?
I may be misunderstanding something.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 3 weeks ago:
But what for? Nothing makes it better, even if you would get this equivalent feature.

- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 1 month ago:
Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.
The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.
The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.
