Right to work! Right to work!
- Comment on American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it? 3 months ago:
I was driving this weekend, a truck turned onto the road ahead of me, stayed stopped in the right hand land until I got near to them, then slammed on the gas spewing a massive cloud of filth that entirely enveloped my car. Thankfully my wife and I noticed it beforehand and rolled our windows up.
- Comment on This is What Prime Air Drone Delivery Looks Like - Core77 5 months ago:
Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.

I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.
- Comment on Me to myself everyday. 6 months ago:
Naps. I sleep like 6-8 hours a night usually, and then I take a nap basically as soon as I get home. I find I have more functional time this way, even when I end up sleeping more than 9-10 hours, because I’m more refreshed and ready to go.
- Comment on Private Equity Firm Bought My Employer 6 months ago:
Private equity will suck as much money out of the company as they can until it starts to fail and then they’ll sell it. Firing employees and making others do their work for no extra pay, if you have patents they’ll sell those, close facilities and force everyone into smaller spaces… literally nothing is off limits. Idk how much is publicly available, but if it is you can look at Avaya for an example. Went from being literally the biggest supplier of phones in the world with the majority of patents on applications for telecom technology to going bankrupt and having to restructure. They’re now on a single floor in a shitty building and most work has been outsourced.
- Comment on Okay this is getting a bit real now Duo, thanks 💔 6 months ago:
Just mandarin. There’s not many resources for Cantonese that I found when searching. You’re likely best off hiring a tutor.
- Comment on Okay this is getting a bit real now Duo, thanks 💔 6 months ago:
I second that for Chinese. Use HelloChinese.
- Comment on Why is there no sound? 6 months ago:
I still don’t know how it happened, but my oldest little brother and I had this pair of walkie-talkies that would pick up this adult dudes phone conversations regularly on a specific channel, and we would troll him so hard. I kinda feel bad now, but not really because it’s a great memory.
- Comment on Just catching up now, but apparently this is the source material for most Generation A cultural milieu. 6 months ago:
My little Gen A brother calls his friends who watch it “super brainrot”. I like to tease him by calling things skibidi sometimes because I’m finally old enough to be the one getting the eye roll for using slang incorrectly and it’s truly hilarious.
- Comment on Slack users horrified to discover messages used for AI training 7 months ago:
It’s not no matter what. It’s under the system we have they are not only not punished for doing so, they are heavily incentivized to do so. There are ways to punish bad actors that de-incentivize other potential bad actors, our politicians actively choose to prioritize these bad actors ability to do harm over the well being of the population.
- Comment on ‘Mad Max’: The feud between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy that George Miller wanted to avoid between the stars of ‘Furiosa’ 7 months ago:
So the feud was that Tom Hardy is a diva removed and Theron is a professional and didn’t accept him being a tool and wasting everyone else’s time and money. Sounds like he deserved every minute of what he got and then some.
- Comment on Gabe Newell, the Man Behind Steam, Is Working on a Brain-Computer Interface 7 months ago:
This is rather old news, predating Neuralink entirely even. There used to be an unlisted YouTube video by Gray(Grey?) Newell that showed off what they were working on back a few years ago, too.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 7 months ago:
For 3D games:\
- Xbox Series X controller with added ExtremeRate back paddle kit.
For PC games:\
- og Steam controller
Most of the time I use the Dualsense Edge though, because I rarely use controller on pc and almost never turn on my Xbox.

- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 7 months ago:
The developers can host a few servers, sure, that’s an option. If that’s the method they take, they also release what’s known as a dedicated server utility, that allows anyone to launch a dedicated server on their machine, or to rent out a server in a hosting center. You can find this model in games such as Counter-Strike, Quake, Unreal, and some of the Battlefields.
This allows for the community to self police, and people will naturally end up in a community that fits their preferences, and rude or toxic players will quickly find themselves banned from the majority of servers and be forced to change their behavior or play a different game. Players can modify server settings, or make entirely new game types that the developers may not have thought about or wouldn’t have the resources to create, and people can create tools that allow servers to easily moderate their servers, and elect moderators and admins from within the community for when they’re not online. This also allows for developers to negate the need to be able to host millions of players, and when the game dies, if it does, all they have to host is a Master Server list. —— Another option, especially for games with small groups of people is to allow the game to be hosted live by one of the players in the squad or group. This is called peer-to-peer servers. In this case, and can either be done by “hosting” the game server and waiting for or inviting players, or by having the game monitor latency and automatically migrate to the best host based on connection and distance. Deep Rock uses the first of these two options, whoever starts the game becomes the host, and stays that until they close the server or quit the game. In this instance, devs host no servers except the master server list, allowing even the smallest of devs to be able to handle millions of people playing their game simultaneously without any real increase in their server costs.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 7 months ago:
Community hosted servers worked pretty damn well for a very long time, and aren’t reliant upon large amounts of infrastructure to continue being playable. In fact, I can still go play almost every game from that era that was good enough to maintain a player base without issue.
- Comment on Jeff Bridges Returns For "TRON: Ares" - Dark Horizons 7 months ago:
I’ll admit I don’t know justice, I’ll have to check them out. Whether or not they’re massive names isn’t indicative of their fitting the tone needed. Both Skrillex and Deadmau5 have good tunes, but neither is what I would call comparable to Daft Punk.
- Comment on Jeff Bridges Returns For "TRON: Ares" - Dark Horizons 7 months ago:
God no.
- Comment on Anon watches The Last Samurai 7 months ago:
Kung Fu was supposed to star Bruce Lee. It was stolen out from under him because white people and racism. In response he wrote Warrior, which his daughter finally got made recently. Definitely worth a watch.
- Comment on The Don't Starve devs' new cutesy co-cop dungeon crawler is out in early access today 7 months ago:
That makes me wonder. This recent TikTok ban is really a “ Bill to Protect Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications, including TikTok”, does this mean that tencent will be effected?
- Comment on On the heels of historic Volkswagen union vote, Starbucks asks Supreme Court to curb labor's power 7 months ago:
Indeed. The union is the compromise. The alternative was and still is revolution. Worker consciousness is rising quickly, and organization allows for the creation of dual power. 2028 General Strike is shaping up to be not only possible, but possibly inevitable.

Speak for yourself, righty.
- Comment on Anon seeks advice for real world problems 8 months ago:
We will see, but it’s been pretty consistent so far. I think it’s a bit easier for me than most people, because I can freely change my work schedule within like 6a-6p, so now I just go into work earlier and get out earlier. Sometimes I take a nap and still wake up before dinner time, and it’s awesome.
- Comment on Anon seeks advice for real world problems 8 months ago:
I was a night owl for a long time, literally decades. Then I went overseas, and since I came back I fall asleep by 9pm and get up between 5-6. I tend to agree with you.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 8 months ago:
Yeah. Also, your instance is pretty well known for doing little about the vast numbers of hard right and alt right individuals on it who seek out and harass left leaning individuals, so it’s in both instances best interest to be separated.

Plenty of slaves received wages throughout plenty of historical periods. Read a book.
