Learn Mandarin, Spanish, and maybe Hindi, if you’re planning for the future.

Pretty sure this is fake. There are very similar but less believable versions out there (exact same set up, but a flying hyena, for example).
- Comment on Does anyone know of a plug-in or extension that will make your web browser convert all websites into what they would look like in 1999? 1 week ago:
Sometimes you see almost that when css hasn’t loaded. Maybe you can turn off css in browser settings, site settings, or dev tools in the browser.

Interesting, I can’t seem to find highsignal when I search in Voyager.
- Comment on Can I make a Bluetooth button to skip YouTube ads on the computer? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe look at Zigbee instead of Bluetooth. It’s meant for home automation stuff, but I think it might be easier to set up to perform an action on an input from a button.
Or you can look at Bluetooth remotes but I feel like you’d have to create custom software to take the input and perform an action.
That said, you can use ChatGPT or Claude to help you get started. It’s one of the things an LLM is good at. Tell it you’re a beginner and what you’re trying to do and it can help you through the steps of setting up and writing the basic app. Be warned, the LLM will eventually lose its way and stop making code that makes sense.
- Comment on Can I make a Bluetooth button to skip YouTube ads on the computer? 4 weeks ago:
You mentioned you were still interested in a button.
How are your programming skills, and what’s your current setup? Are you using a PC? Is there a specific reason you want a bluetooth button instead of, say, a USB one? Or even just using a keyboard shortcut?

Interesting, they never seem to ripen for me, but maybe I’m too impatient

If and only if they’re ripe.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 is a great RPG that exceeded my expectations 1 month ago:
Glad to hear this. Years ago I worked with Obsidian engineers (who may or may not still be there, I have no idea) and I absolutely loved the systems they had built for their games. They were able to create games with a massive amount of content with a relatively small team of engineers, so I’ve always rooted for them.
I liked (didn’t love) and completed the first Outer Worlds but I thoroughly enjoyed Grounded - even though I never played through to the end game. I’ll definitely give this one a go.

I love that some asshat was triggered by you calling them an asshole and downvoted you.
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 2 months ago:
and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?
In 2017 Microsoft’s gaming division had about 9 billion dollars of revenue.
In the last fiscal year (ended in July) that revenue was 23 billion dollars.
Sony: 31 billion dollars
Nintendo: 9 billion dollars? (harder to find numbers)Microsoft still has 95% of the market share for PC operating systems for gaming: …steampowered.com/…/Steam-Hardware-Software-Surve…
I think they’re doing okay. Just because they’re not number 1 in consoles doesn’t mean they’re dead. 30 million units sold of Series X/S isn’t exactly losing their ass. And all console fans should cheer for MS to keep going. It’s great that Steam Deck and the like are pushing into the market now, but losing Xbox would be terrible. Price, innovation, and quality would suffer if Sony didn’t have MS nipping at their heels.
- Comment on How the hell are there already shirts, hats and even jerseys made for the winning teams of some championships? 2 months ago:
It’s not really important history to be fair.
The bigger deal is it can fuck with local economies:
The International Impact of Donated Clothing borgenproject.org/the-international-impact-of-don…
While exporting used clothing helps repurpose material from the U.S., it can seriously undermine the textile industries of developing countries.
And still harms the environment:

In addition to clogged drains, each day about 154,000 lbs. of used clothing leaves Accra’s main garment market bound for a dump on the banks of the Korle Lagoon.

Well, if they subscribed before, why wouldn’t they stay subscribed at the same price with the same features? Why is it a “narrow raft”?
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 months ago:
Yes but when you ask a question in no stupid questions you are prompting a discussion. And now we’re discussing how water changes the taste of food for you, and you’re willing to drink sugary, unhealthy drinks with your dinner instead.
It sounds like you’re extremely addicted to sugar.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 months ago:
Sorry, water makes your food taste weird, but energy drinks are just fine?
