- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 1 week ago:
Have you tried SFC /scannow, dism repair, or factory reset?
- Comment on The way they buried the Unsubscribe text color into the background 1 week ago:
Are you sure you don’t have some client side dark mode on from your email client? It’s often the case that those don’t work too well, particularly if an email has an image background.
- Comment on I fucking hate modern design and modern designers. 3 weeks ago:
Privacy and pressure I’m guessing. Now the other person knows you’ve seen the message and the feeling of being perceived when you just want to send a message in your own time can be uncomfortable for some.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 5 weeks ago:
… yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 5 weeks ago:
I’d argue they’re the most vocal about it, but no. They release a half lobotomized set of tools, they keep making modder unfriendly changes to the games (recompiling the exe for no reason every time a new cc mod was released for Skyrim, which meant you needed to wait for skse to update too) including having load order broken at launch in Starfield. Also the many ways and attempts they’ve made at monetising mods with them getting a cut. Not to mention this new Oblivion game needs new tools to work with it and once again like with Skyrim VR, “modding is unsupported”, though that could just be a decision made by the Devs since they’re developed by third party studios.
I’d say Larian is actually pulling their weight tho, with bg3 modding going quite well and them frequently highlighting mods on their twitter. Also CDPR who looked at the most popular mods and added them to the base game as polished features.

Yeah that’s partly what I meant by debugging
- Comment on The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office 1 month ago:
This is why even though English is my second language I will set software to be in English, I know any translations into my primary language will use weird and uncommon phrases (also makes debugging harder)
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 1 month ago:
It’s a pre-written balanced set of classes to try out, it’s not a requirement to play d&d and you can also just homebrew your own stuff. I don’t see how shouting at the sky about an optional purchaseable module helps
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 1 month ago:
what are you mad at? This is bg3, a “rigid computer game”, what does wotc’s physical books have to do with a free update?
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 month ago:
Did you like, not read any of the comment you’re replying to? Click any of the picture links?
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 1 month ago:
While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work
- Comment on Why is it sometimes difficult to start doing what one enjoys? 2 months ago:
In a world where everything is optimised to give you immediate rewards and happiness an act that is a bit frustrating to start with or that requires a modicum of effort will lose out to those temptations, unless you make an extra effort to stick to a schedule to rewire your brain to get used to it as part of a routine

- Comment on why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall? 2 months ago:
Hey you should look into darktable, it’s got a different learning curve from regular photo editing software but it’s really nice to use. Alternatively Rawtherapee is closer to lightroom in UX. Both FOSS
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 2 months ago:
Woww 48.1 truly is sooo far away from 50% and not at all within a margin of error.
You know what they meant, don’t be pedantic.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 months ago:
Thinner* since there are people actually wanting smaller phones (and I have a jack on my zenphone 10 so size isn’t an issue), they’ve been blaming thinness and water resistance for the drop of the jack

“dummy” name calling? Hahaha
- Comment on Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL 3 months ago:
I know dummy, I meant the ad supplying platforms reviewing them
- Comment on Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL 3 months ago:
I didn’t say ads can’t contain malware, but it’s a bit of a “(some) internet malware is ads, but not all ads are malware” scenario, it’s very dependent on who they get the ads from and how tight those ads get reviewed. Broad statements like that are just ignorant, and I say that as someone who uses an adblock on all of their devices.

That’s just arguing in bad faith, unless you can at least demonstrate that this particular journal has copied their articles in the past.
Even if you were to entertain that thought however it doesn’t make them any more guilty of “terrorism” like op called them

Saying that based on…?
- Comment on Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL 3 months ago:
Big reach from running ads to it being malware

Calling a news site terrorist for asking for payment for the articles they write in the current political landscape sounds so… first-world-problems.
- Comment on Smoking ban introduced to protect children and most vulnerable 6 months ago:
Ok but that’s about overall air pollution, while air pollution around schools is going to reduce that it’s not addressing the entire issue those stats are based on
- Comment on Smoking ban introduced to protect children and most vulnerable 6 months ago:
Whataboutism, and I’d argue vapes and cigarettes are more damaging long term than cars passing by
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 7 months ago:
It’s a good thing we’ve got people like you making that choice instead of leaving it to everyone to decide

Or just non fast wireless chargers
- Comment on Only 3% of UK 12-year-olds don’t have a smartphone. Here is how four of them feel about it 8 months ago:
Careful with those, almost started a house fire once because the connection wasn’t as tight as it needed to be. With it being magnetic and carrying power you into the risk of metal debris magnetising itself on it and completing a circuit
- Comment on Britain ignored its far-right threat and demonized Muslims. Now racist mobs have spiraled out of control. 9 months ago:
Wasn’t the UK one of the founding members of the EU?
