  I will never understand why people with power are this petty.

  They probably think it’s a huge flex, but it makes them look like the most pants-shittingly immature little cry babies.

  Real power is not devoting brain cycles to things that should be beneath you.

  Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

  Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are few video games with a lot of mythological pantheons?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which mythologies would you like to see represented?

  I think this would apply to all media, and probably just comes down to some traditions being more familiar and having more cultural impact in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game is it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As most have said, doubling up compression won’t usually get you much.

  However, video compression is usually designed to facilitate performance of sequential reads because videos are typically played beginning to end, so theoretically there may be ways to compress them more if you’re willing to make sacrifices there.

  I doubt RAR is the way to do it, though. It just hasn’t been designed for this kind of data.

  Maybe there’s a video compression format out there designed specifically for archival storage, but I’m not aware of it.

  ISO won’t get you any further compression, that’s for sure.

  You could certainly test this out yourself and let us know if you get any space savings.

  If you’re on a steep hill, yes sometimes you need to use the handbrake to get moving. This had to be demonstrated when I got my licence, but to be fair some manual vehicles now have automatic hill start. Still a good technique to learn because it doesn’t always activate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When progressivism moves toward conservatism, conservatism moves toward regressivism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t seem to make sense, but I gave pCloud a chance years ago, and I’ve been using the lifetime plan ever since. I feel like I got my money’s worth, so not too worried if I eventually have to migrate elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Permabanned from Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they want real users because they want to sell their data for LLM training, but that might mean purging accounts that are “too political” to be of use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon introduces himself⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They called him Rich-tard for short.

  But he got the last laugh when rich 'tards ruled the country.

  The trick is for those other AIs to reserve a few bucks, so they can repeat the process but this time cash out early. Keep repeating until everybody wins.

  Just ask the AI how to turn $1 into $100M with high frequency trading!
