So a program that interfaces to a discord channel?
- Comment on Napster - I miss it. All free and it worked great 3 days ago:
??? Is that a reference to a program because I didn’t see them in the list.

I think a light version runs in a web browser but the full version is a program.

Like a landlord is going to fix your clogged drain anytime soon. They’re not your mom, they’re a business. You’ll be lucky if a plumber comes out in a couple of weeks.

- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 2 weeks ago:
When I’d get stuff, I’d always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I’d let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.

It’s likely intentional. What’s the point of a good reputation if you don’t milk it for profit? Bestbuy alternates between good and bad. Build a good reputation, the cut corners for profit for several years until people notice while banking that profit. Then restart the good reputation.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.
You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line directly command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.

He did explain the reason. Garden hose.
- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.
The US isn’t like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren’t guaranteed to recover the money.
- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 3 weeks ago:
There’s no precedent. Nintendo sues, the developer doesn’t have money for lawyers to defend themselves so they remove it.
That’s how it’s been going for a long time.

If you want to go tiny you could get an Anbernic Gameboy like the RG35xxSP. They run Linux with a gaming UI on top. But it’s very easy to run full desktop Linux distros on them.

He grew up in New York and only recently moved. He’s got that New York attitude. Yeah it’s off putting.

Forward it to Louis Rossman. He’ll make an entire video about it and add it to the wiki tracking these scummy companies.

Just a reminder that Epstein was killed when Trump was president. Trump’s attorney general was William Barr. Barr’s dad was very close friends with Epstein, gave Epstein his first job, and Barr’s dad wrote pedo scifi as a hobby.
- Comment on Dont call this number again, we uphold the laws of physics in this home 1 month ago:
I don’t get the, “obey laws of physics.” Variable focus reflective optics are a thing. Both by moving the mirror distance or by using fancy materials to change the curvature of the mirror.
- Comment on This AI App Is Using an AI-Generated Ad to Show How Easy It Is to Generate AI App Slop 1 month ago:
Isn’t that the right thing? If they didn’t use AI, people would be saying “Haha AI app has to use real people.”
It doesn’t mean it isn’t slop though.
- Comment on When will all the folks complaining about loss of Snap and health insurance realize the GOP wants us to die and has ZERO empathy for fellow Americans? 1 month ago:
The only reason Fauci was on TV and setting policy on COVID was because Trump hired him to the Trump task force. Trump could have removed him from the Task force. Instead Trump acted like he had no power over Fauci.
That Fauci had been previously working for the government is irrelevant. Trump hired Fauci to the Trump COVID Task Force. Everything Fauci did was under Trump’s control.
