- Comment on The Doomed Economics of KLARNA - "Buy Now, Pay Never" 2 days ago:
I interviewed for a job at Klarna HQ in Stockholm about a decade ago, and I am glad I didn’t get it, I had a great time at my past employer and a have decent time at my current.
Their reception was flashy, but the interview was strained.
I used to love Klarnas payment system, when I first got into online shopping it was great, you entered your name, phone and address, and then selected that you wanted to pay through your internet bank, you got sent to your internet bank, logged in with your hardware token and approved the single transaction, done, easy.
Now you need to set up an autopay service to Klarna to be able to do something similar, oh and they won’t take the money immediately, it can take a few days, so you can loose track of it and be annoyed later.
I will never take any offer to buy now, pay later, that is just dumb.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Yeah, if they stopped spending money on exclusivity, they could invest in store features.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Absolutely, competition is allways good for the consumer, even in this case.
Since EGS offers a worse experience, I will use Steam instead.
- Comment on xAI’s Grok suddenly can’t stop bringing up “white genocide” in South Africa 1 week ago:
Until just now, I have always read it as Gork, Grok is more annoying to say.
- Comment on xAI’s Grok suddenly can’t stop bringing up “white genocide” in South Africa 1 week ago:
This is the first time I ever heard the term, I didn’t know it was a thing, and given the source is Gork which is owned by a rich man with an agenda, I still don’t know if it is a thing or not.
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 1 week ago:
I mean, it is fine to ask for more details if it can help solve a specific issue, say that you ask a question about tax law, but neglect to add what country you are from, then asking for your location is fine, but just out of the blue, nah.

- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 2 weeks ago:
Ah good catch!
I mixed it up, in BTPS I did indeen play as Claptrap the last time I played it, I played as Moze when I played B3

I never liked the gamplay in B3, though to be fair, I did grow up on UT2004, which other have told me is very floaty, so I may be biased on that…

I don’t even remember bothering with the spec trees on B3.
I did play as Claptrap i B3 to get some variation, his special was just stupid

B1 was fun and interesting, B2 was brilliant, BTPS was fun, but slightly less so than B2, B3 was just annoying cringe.
And yeah, I played through all the games to completion including the DLCs.
- Comment on Age Verification Wants Your Face, and Your Privacy 2 weeks ago:
I remember a few years ago when YT suddenly restricted my account since it was never age verified since I got it back in 2005/2006 or so, and for a few months I could not watch YT videos that was tagged as mature or similar.
Luckily, it seemed that sense prevailed and once the account was 18+ years old, the restrictions just went away…

Myst III was made by Presto Studios in collaboration with Cyan, it does have a slightly different feel to the other games, but it is not bad

I have four private planes I’d like to fly.
The Diamond Air DA62 - Just a gorgeous plane!
The Grumman Goose - with a water landing
The Cirrus Vision SF50 - A super tiny jet!
A Dassult Falcon trijet - Trijets are cool!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I would love to get to try the whole jet experience, but I am not interested in doing it regularly.
I came as close as you can while flying normally during the start of the pandemic.
I am an IT guy and was tasked with flying to one of the company owner’s country retreats with a new computer and set it up to be ready for the summer…
I get to the airport, the main airport of Sweden, Arlanda, at 07:45 on a normal weekday.
Attached is a photo of what the check in hall looked like…
Anyway, I get checked in and get to my gate, there are a few others there, my flight is called, I walk down and board the transfer bus, and the doors close behind me…
I am the only one on the bus!
I get to the aircraft, a Fokker F50, no company markings at all…
A cute flight attendant welcome me onboard saying that I can pick any seat as I am the only passenger…
And we fly away, it was super weird yet really cool.

Oh, I absolutely agree, but it is what the guys upstairs want…
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 4 weeks ago:
I am an IT technician, I get paid to solve problems.
A user can’t send emails? I’ll check the logs and error messges, find the problem and is I am allowed to, solved the problem.
Oh, we need to setup up a new firewall rule?
Ok, I’ll log on to the Palo Alto appliance and have a look at the logs.
We need to configure our systems so that we get our logo as the avatar of sent emails?
Ok, I have no idea on how to do that, so I’ll start googling, ah it is all BIMI, and shit, I need to speak with legal, and set up a new certificate vendor? Crap… Shit, our logo isn’t actually trademarked? What? Fuck, we need to do a DORA check on the certificate vendor? Crap…
- Comment on Based tesla user??? 4 weeks ago:
Ok, lets say that Teslas big break was Elons doing, that is an amazing achievement, yet he wasn’t satisfied, he had to be one of the founders of the company badly enough to sue to get the title.
That is not the actions of a sane person.
