  Yea, have they changed the shape of her face?

  I’m just hoping the front doesn’t fall off.

  I find a cafeteria even less work for basically the same. Just don’t use boiling water, either cool it off or use one set to 80c.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they “weren’t operating in it” and didn’t need to answer the questions.

  The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.

  If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.

  I used ublockorigin to block the container for shorts and news. Much better, also set up a redirector that changes shorts URLs into the normal yt format, so that you don’t pulled into that feed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 200 Most Common Passwords | NordPass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know a couple of people who think they are clever for these kinds of substitutions, I can probably use this fact on them. Not sure they will change their ways after, they kinda oppose any change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I expect someone to make custom cases for it. If valve don’t release a model there will at least be someone doing a 3d printed model that fits the board.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that white deck going to be an official colour or is it them just showing of custom cases? They also sneaked in a translucent case.

  If you can’t read it: it’s sex education that a Jewish orthodox school is refusing to teach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind hated whenever i was looking at solutions to running pc game pass games on my steam deck, everyone was like: “install edge it works on Linux, that will let you stream the game.”

  Like, that was not what I was looking for. It also required you to go to a higher tier of sub.

  Both happy and sad that I already canceled it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the sale issue for me, is that I sometimes already own these deep discount games. It makes it feel like there are less good deals.

  Also some new games have what I consider to be really high base prices, so a 60% discount is still not near the impulse buy range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real easy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least those are not contradictory. Imagine being told that someone was dusting a room. Well that is removing small particles! But if you are dusting some icing sugar on a cake, you are adding it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OK what is your Roman name?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nanaimo barius

  Good job Canadians, they are nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They keep multiple old passwords. You’ve done this whole stick before and you tried to use that same password last time. You use it for everything, and every time your new account gets “hacked.” You keep using that password even when we show you that it’s been in multiple leeks and is associated with your email.

  “But I like the password, it’s my favourite football team!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not worth pirating, will still run like crap.

  Forgetting about it is probably the best insult you can give it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always assumed it depends on what your context is. If your perspective is the country that the immigrant is from, then they would be an expat. If you are in context of the other country they are an immigrant.

  Ie

  “My friend is an expat who went off to The Netherlands.” “My friend is an immigrant that came here from The USA.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, shit.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they don’t, that’s something you can’t blame on a new start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memories. And we thought it could never get any better than this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Server '03 was also pretty solid, didn’t have some of the weird aspects of xp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨number box o number box⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But a grid can just be a number with a list of numbers. A tensor is just two numbers with a list of numbers. A n-tensor is just two lists of numbers. Two lists can be combined with a number to indicate when they split. If we put that number at the start of the list, then we just have a list.

  Everything is just a list of numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t help that the Tories were “stressing” the NHS for years, which makes it harder for things to get back on track.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan is getting fined in the UK by the Office of Communications(Ofcom) under Online Safety Act; 4Chan Respond by appealing to Trump administration and intending to fight it in the U.S courts.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think ofcom expect to get any money. It’s either to just be a precursor to requiring a DNS/ip block by isps. Or just as they have told that they have to do this anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that was a predictable outcome of commercial vpns. The “protect your data from isps” line never really answered the “what about the VPN provider” question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Snek⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah sorry, I was slightly off, they used their own embedded browser in the app. So your external browser does not save the history as it was not used.

  krausefx.com/…/ios-privacy-instagram-and-facebook…

  Yea didn’t realise it was just an image, I was responding to the “doesn’t show in history” comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Snek⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In case you are interested, facebook now opens links in a site of thier’s, but it contains an embedded window of the site you were linked to. This means that facebook can follow any other links you follow while on that site. It has the site effect of you not visiting that site but instead facebook’s “hidden window” shows in the history.

  It has no practical reason to exist other than allowing them to gather more data.

  Some mobile browsers might have an add-in to auto-break you out of the window.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They no longer require authy for time based codes, so I would update to use an authenticator app when you next get in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You still need to send the acks when downloading. If the upload is saturated then you will still have issues downloading stuff, as either the acks are delayed or dropped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp Deploys AI, for Those Incapable of Comprehending Straightforward Messages From Their Friends and Family⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So is this the reason that I see massive full page ads saying that WhatsApp is secure? They are worried that introducing ai will make everyone worried it can read all the messages? Or is it that just that they now have a way to read your messages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dots!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  According to your table, it’s not as bad as that, just not a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder that you do not own digital games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll give them props that they are going to refund owners for the bit they can, I would have expected most stores so to go “oh well! we have been ordered to remove it, sucks to be you.”
