If you had to wade through all the arguments in the Linux kernal “discussions” you’d be a jerk too.

I wonder which will kill you first?
- Comment on Tesla Stock Is Plunging Again. It Could Drop for a Ninth Straight Week. 5 months ago:
Tesla was overinflated because it was run as a software startup, where they had money pouring in from venture capital. They had money coming in, but it wasn’t simply from sales. Let’s see if that stalls too.

- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 10 months ago:
But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP’s point.
- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 10 months ago:
The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
I’ve played the game since 2015 when all we could do was walk around a hanger. When it comes to where SQ42 is at, we are being lied to about where it is. Them saying at Citcon that SQ42 is just 2 more years away is a dead giveaway that they are absolutely no where near a release, and the 2026 year is pure fiction. Like I said, they’ve been saying 2 years away since 2016.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
And this CitCon didn’t do anything to stem that tide if true.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
I’m pretty sure Chris Roberts views Squadron 42 as the main game.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
They claimed it was feature complete in 2023. And now they claim it is two years away from release. You really think polish and optimization takes three years? Of course, they’ve claimed it is just two years away every year since 2016.
They are lying to you.

- Comment on Elon Musk bets Tesla on Optimus, says over 1,000 robots working in factories next year 1 year ago:
Whole point of the Hyperloop was to stop California from building out high speed rail. And it worked. Musky thought it would cut into his EV sales.

Steve did it with Newegg. Tech Jesus has balls when gamers/enthusiasts are getting screwed.
- Comment on Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week 1 year ago:
Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.

- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking 1 year ago:
Part of it is management that can’t handle their duties if they can’t walk over and intimidate workers. The other bit is many companies have cash reserves invested in commercial real estate instruments, and can’t handle the profoilo hit. And many of those company leaders are also personally invested in that same real estate.
- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking 1 year ago:
Working from home does help the local economy, just not the right ones for the C-suite.

The job of a programmer is to reintroduce a bug that was fixed in the last patch.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
From my experience, the wireless carriers are trying their best not to laugh in the same areas for home Internet. They’re trying hard to avoid the competition like they do in phone service. Example: I get T-Mobile home Internet, but Verizon doesn’t in my area. Asking friends, I’m finding that to be a common situation where one or the other is offered, but rarely both. Completely anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt.
