  When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find “Kill all humans.” is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after l.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No more Bosch for me..⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Luanti following Minecraft is nothing new. Mineclonia was an early pilot game for the engine.

  But there hasn’t been much effort on copying Minecraft lately. Mineclonia is done, and it’s great.

  We’ve had more mobs, animals, plants, textures, and such than un-modded Minecraft for a long time. (Which is unfair, as Luanti is a mod-first design.) But my point is the core Launti dev team doesn’t have to work on any of that.

  The most noticeable recent Luanti updates have been to make the configuration screens much nicer, and add I think to add native support for more graphics tricks?

  I’m not paying attention to graphics in Luanti. As others have mentioned, that’s not why I play it. I actually had a conversation recently about the best way to downgrade Luanti default graphics to match un-modded Minecraft.

  That said, the Minecraft team taking notice of Luanti would be new, as far as I know.

  I would appreciate that.

  Well said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite 90s platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I do think Spyro is a platformer. It’s a bunch of things, but I would have a hard time arguing any genre fits it better than platformer.

  That’ll work exactly as well as bribing my two year year old did. And for roughly the same amount of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  (that Blade Runner largely omitted).

  I know we’re dunking on a beloved classic, but it would be fair to state this even more harshly.

  I felt like there’s really barely even a scrap of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in BladeRunner.

  I think BladeRunner is cool, and I’m thankful BladeRunner 2049 actually at least has some ideas from the book.

  But I can’t help but regret that BladeRunner has kept us from ever getting a proper Electric Sheep movie.

  Honestly, I really just want more people to get all the amazing Turtle-on-its-back jokes done with Bender in Futurama.

  Lol. Fair enough. But maybe we just put some ketchup on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Voyager app can do it (weirdly only when signed in, I guess?).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sir, we talked about this. After having a wave mistaken for a ‘heil’, our press guide says we wait at least a year before mentioning ‘Hitler’.”

  “But I can still goose step, right?”

  Is how I assume the conversation with his press agent went…

  I’ve been willing to assume “worlds stupidest man”, but this is pushing it.

  That’s a relief. I was worried for him when he had to skip ordering guac, the other day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CISA: We didn't fire red teams, just unhired some of them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So CISA released a statement that says absolutely fucking nothing.

  I would have more respect remaining for them if they had the wisdom to shut up and let Musk take credit for all the stupid.

  I guess they decided together the doublespeak department is too important to cut.

  And rumor is DOGE has lousy opsec. And I suspect DOGE ain’t be able to fix their opsec because veteran engineers pay attention, and Musk is incapable of loyalty.

  Butt this just makes me angry. Lots of people actually need government services and don’t have an alternative.

  I would love to hear about the day TSA simply didn’t show up. Make this happen, folks.

  All their options to deal with it are embarrassing for the stooges in charge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jackbox Games coming to Smart TVs for free⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds from the way you phrased this like you feel thatevery IOT device is just a ticking time bomb waiting to become a malware and privacy nightmare.

  If so, as someone with some Cybersecurity expertise, I just want to say that is a reasonable opinion supported by all of the data that I’m aware of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Literally just a copy”—hit iOS game accused of unauthorized HTML5 code theft⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  20,000 downloads at $3

  The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00. Apple made $18,000.00.

  The original creator made ~$2,000.00, after TikTok comments pointed people to the original.

  And

  “Apple encourages the parties to a dispute to work directly with one another to resolve the claim.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former top NSA cyber official: Probationary firings ‘devastating’ to cyber, national security⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  he also lamented that the firings may have already harmed the NSA’s ability to retain and attract top cybersecurity talent, as those affected seek more stable employment options.

  This is utterly embarrassing to who contributed. And it’ll likely go beyond embarrassment, well into national security, before all the long term damage is fully counted.

  We’re collectively breaking even at best, and getting our asses handed to us, at worst, and they’re firing people to save a nickel.

  This is a textbook case of penny smart being dollar stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is flying too risky for me?

  Sounds lile “Yes.”

  I’m going to be flying over the ocean most of the flight, and all my Epi Pens do is give me an extra 20 or so minutes to get to the hospital.

  I hear you saying that if the airline or a random passenger screws up, you get to die horribly.

  I wouldn’t risk it.

  I want to encourage you that you have every right to say “that doesn’t feel safe” rather than risk it.

  You don’t have to risk it if you don’t want to.

  I generally don’t take any “I might die horribly” risks, myself, when I can avoid them.

  Nice. This is for me, if it runs on SteamDeck. I cannot be arsed to buy the latest great game system, but once a remake runs on the thing I already have, I’ll try it and enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federal workers vs Elon Musk: I’ve never seen a billionaire carry the mail, put out a forest fire, make sure people get their Social Security checks, answer a phone call from a suicidal veteran⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Musk is going to lose a lot of legal cases as he gets older and less powerful.

  I find myself hoping that part of his sentence is to spend weeks doing all of the jobs he’s unable to take seriously - and that it gets televised.
