- Comment on US Orders Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to Halt All AI Chip Shipments to China 1 week ago:
Fair enough. I looked it up, and I think you’re right.

I know there’s a lot of different definitions on fascism, but one of them originated from Italy is, that the state and corporations act together. In this case, the US tries to bully Taiwan corporations to do their bidding “or else”.
I know some would say it dosent count because the Taiwan firm can do as it pleases, but it becomes fascism when the Taiwan government now need to force the corporation to do as the US says.
Indirect fascism. But then again there’s also parts of the US that’s not fascism, and then we can keep on going.
- Comment on US Orders Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to Halt All AI Chip Shipments to China 1 week ago:
The US have always been fascists, even before Trump. And if you’re in doubt what fascist means, because the word is misused basically everywhere, then this is a great example.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.
You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.
- Comment on European Consumer Organisation files complaint to European Commission against exploitative microtransaction practices in video games 2 months ago:
As someone who played LoL for maaaany years, this is actually true, and I don’t know why I didn’t think about before.
Their use of RP totally made me unaware of the cost, and I’m not even in the younger demographic.
It would’ve been better for me if I payed with a currency I understood. I would most likely also buy less.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It’s actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.

My bad. English is not my first language.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 3 months ago:
Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 3 months ago:
Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.

Just like billion dollar Apple, Google, Microsoft stopped the Digital Market Act? /s
- Comment on EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for 3 months ago:
The trick is to make it possible to host your own servers. Just like Counter Strike.
- Comment on Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register 3 months ago:
We are basically training their models/bots for them.
- Comment on Meta tells court it won’t sue over Facebook feed-killing tool—yet 4 months ago:
Closing accounts also means losing users. If the number is high enough, they want enforcement rather than banning.
It’s always profits in the end.
- Comment on Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status” 4 months ago:
Ye it’s like the credit score system in the US, but with extra steps.

uBlock might be out at some point, but modified APKs will probably live forever.
Pirates, aaargh… always finds a way.
