This is hacking. Just because it’s a trivial attack vector that’s easy to protect against doesn’t mean it isn’t.
- Comment on ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal' 2 days ago:
Their words matter. If they wanted to say that, then they should have said that. They didn’t say that. They said private Minecraft servers are IP infringement despite Microsoft explicitly allowing them. They’re fools.

They don’t need impossible requirements to do that.

Nope, just making sure you understand that literal Nazis do, in fact, exist today. If you weren’t posting rhetorical questions that implied you didn’t believe they don’t, then I wouldn’t have shared links with you to help you understand they do.

Probably just copying job reqs and not thinking. 10 years experience as a dev. 10 years with tool X. Copy, paste, change tool to Claude. Done.

- Comment on Why do people get mad at you for using Wikipedia, but treat Google and AI chatbots like they're gospel? 1 week ago:
To say you can’t look at it at all is so insane, and his would you even prove it? The entire point of encyclopedias is to give you a brief overview of a new topic.
- Comment on Why do people get mad at you for using Wikipedia, but treat Google and AI chatbots like they're gospel? 1 week ago:
Years of “Wikipedia is not a source” without critically thinking about what that means or when to apply it. The same people who will say that will ignore that it was meant for research papers, but somehow forgot what makes sources credible. It’s really a suffering from success thing. The phrase was just said so often it became part of people’s thoughts. Sort of like the “five dollar footlong” thing with Subway.

6 of 50 is 300. % just means 1/100. That’s also a good way to think of it.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 1 week ago:
Honestly, taking off my nostalgia goggles here, I’m gonna say the Switch. Handheld and TV usage in one device was amazing. It’s got its problems, yeah, and Nintendo is not really an admirable company, but it was nice.
With my nostalgia goggles on, PS2, no question. Because it was a PS2 AND a PS1. Never played PS3, barely played 360. By that time I was basically a full PC gamer. My original one broke (don’t remember how), so I got the slim one. it’s crazy durable, I think because it has a lot less moving parts. I tried to do some hot swap disk stuff with it, so I had to use clamps to hold it shut lol, but it still worked. Never could get the disk swap to work.
If we include handhelds, then I think it’s the Gameboy Advance SP. Rechargeable and backlit was a crazy innovation. (Yes yes, I know in Japan there was a version of a Gameboy that was backlit.)
The OG Gameboy pocket I had was shit. It was my first gaming thing ever though. So hard to see. Gameboy color was fine. Just not really as amazing as Advance. GBA loses to SP though. As for DS, I don’t know, I never had a beef with it, but I feel like the jump from color to advance wasn’t quite as big to me as advance to DS. Plus, the DS was sort of the beginning of Nintendo’s weird gimmick era. I’d call the Wii U the end. So many motion controls…
I had a PS4, but didn’t play too much on it. Basically just Ratchet, God of War 2018 and Ragnarok, and Death Stranding. It didn’t feel any better than a computer to me. At least the Switch is unique in that it can be portable.

I linked them for you because you don’t know what a Nazi is, because you said literal Nazis aren’t alive today.
- Comment on Finally an explanation 1 week ago:
Literal Nazis exist today, yes. Insisting that they don’t is doing them a favor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism
Or is this one of the ‘I don’t know what Nazi means’ kind of things? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

Can I use /a for “I use CachyOS btw”? I wouldn’t want to waste our most precious, sacred, and limited /tags, but is the overload acceptable to the /a creator? I would never want to use a /tag against the creators intended usage. /gen /hj /a

I could’ve sworn there was some instructional game in steam for like $10k or something. Maybe it was less and/or has since been removed.

I think they probably made some real sakes, but a lot of people got refunded because they were confused and thought it wasn’t real. It’s been ages, the details are fuzzy.

Ah, okay, I wasn’t familiar with Cape Verde’s location, so my brain didn’t even process that part.

20,000 nautical miles is well over half of the Earth’s circumference. Where was east and west mixed up in the post? This seems like a “three rights are a left” situation to me.
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 3 weeks ago:
You’re not missing too much. There’s sort of a set of customs most servers have as well that are counter intuitive to new users. What’s frustrating is that most mods are so used to them that they forget how unobvious they are.
