Calling nexus mods shady is hilarious.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 days ago:
Sure thing, but op clearly isn’t a noob.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 days ago:
I mean they are lying because Java does support main as a top level function now. If this was written last year, sure. Also IntelliJ will literally install the jdk and manage it for you. Using asdf I haven’t had to touch the PATH for Java in probably over a decade (used sdkman before that).
This entire post sounds like someone that last touched Java in 2010 and wanted to complain about it again. Java is shit, but for none of the reasons in the post.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 days ago:
The date of the post is from this week so it’s not accurate at all. Java does support main outside of a class now, and it doesn’t need to be static, or take args. You wouldn’t use JavaFX in this day and age either. Installing the jdk is absolutely nothing especially if you’re using IntelliJ as it will install it for you and manage everything. No library is even close to 3gb.
This entire post sounds like it was written by someone that last touched Java in 2010.
Source: am a Kotlin dev. Java sucks. None of these are the reasons why.

Hawaiian coffee is $25 a pound, at least it was when I bought some there a few years ago
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
I’ve never even heard of it. Sounds excellent though. 😂
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
All of the 3 ninjas movies. I was telling my wife about them and was talking about how great they were (this was like a decade ago) and went to look them up. Like 0-15% on rotten tomatoes depending on which one.
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is particularly bad at 0% critic score, 29% audience score, and a 3 on IMDb.
I loved all the 3 ninjas movies so much though.
- Comment on Tiny pp 1 week ago:
Pretty sure there was a study that actually showed big trucks correlated with big penises. Crazy.
- Comment on Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt. 2 weeks ago:
Weirdly enough, I literally can right now. Usually I cannot. I don’t remember the last time this was the case and I would not have noticed without this post.
- Comment on Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies? 3 weeks ago:
My guess is focal length. Most facial photos with tons of detail will be close up selfies with a short focal length, thus increasing size of the face proportionally.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 weeks ago:
I care. Some people care more than others. That’s fine.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 5 weeks ago:
Anywhere you’ve got decades long republicans in office you will find it extremely hard to vote in America. Elsewhere it’s relatively easy. In Colorado I literally don’t do anything, a booklet explaining all the laws shows up in the mail a few weeks before the ballots do, then the ballot shows up and I can either drop it off in one of the numerous drop boxes, put it in the mail, or ignore it and go vote in person where the lines are short because nobody votes in person.
- Comment on Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops: Digital IDs make it tempting to leave your driver’s license at home — but that’s a dangerous risk. 1 month ago:
It doesn’t really matter if they do take your phone in the end anyway. If it’s that clear cut illegal then anything they manufacture as evidence wouldn’t be admissible in court…no matter what.

- Comment on just finished setting up i3 :3 1 month ago:
Looks like a corne/crkbd. You can buy the kits from several online shops
- Comment on Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops: Digital IDs make it tempting to leave your driver’s license at home — but that’s a dangerous risk. 1 month ago:
The MyColorado FAQ explicitly states that an officer cannot take your phone, even if they think your digital ID is fraudulent. This whole article is a ton of fear mongering. Digital IDs do not require you to give your phone to anyone, they do not require you to unlock (unless it’s a state specific app), and even if its a state specific app the cops aren’t allowed to take it anyway.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
I use a Logitech mouse and do not have the problems you are talking about.
- Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? 1 month ago:
I know it’s being overly recommended in here, but kagi pretty much gives you exactly what you want. I’ve had very few times it’s been unable to give me my search in the first few results. Others swear by SearXNG
- Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? 1 month ago:
Apple Maps is fantastic for navigation, but it doesn’t have enough locations on it. I use Gmaps for searching locations and apple for navigating.
- Comment on Francis Ford Coppola: ‘Megalopolis’ cast purposefully includes ‘canceled’ actors 2 months ago:
I thought those were all just rumors. Did it actually go through court?

Creationists believe the first. For example I’m Christian, but not a moron, so I don’t believe in creationism.

- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
The power can go through the female end just fine, that’s not the problem. The problem is people plug this “suicide cable” into the wall first, thus creating a 120v taser of sorts. Like someone else in this thread said, the only problem from cables like that is people tend to try to backfeed energy into the system with a generator or solar panels. Boom.

NO
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 2 months ago:
It clearly isn’t easily available if you can’t even provide a single fucking instance of it now, is it? Sourcing what you’re fucking talking about is how debates work you fucking dickhead. This has nothing to do with a bibliography. It’s about putting a fucking link referencing the material you’re alluding to.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 2 months ago:
You make a claim, you source it. That’s how debates (and literally any science at all) work dumbass.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 2 months ago:
Not if they don’t provide a link to the news source they’re talking about. So yeah, still no proof, source, nothing. Pretty clear it’s your bias at this point.
- Comment on What if? 2 months ago:
Great way to put it. That really is the root of it.
- Comment on A nightly Waymo robotaxi parking lot honkfest is waking San Francisco neighbors 2 months ago:
Yeah we got a place where I can sit outside in the sun and hardly hear anything. But really if you get a single family home anywhere within a few hundred feet of an artery you’re going to be dealing with road noise. So it applies almost in every city in America.

I don’t even understand the argument they’re making lol.
