And you’d still not get radiation poisoning from that many banananananas.
- Comment on Map of all AI data center in Europe 1 week ago:
I am aware, but it’d be disingenuous to say that we’re not training LLMs in Europe.
- Comment on Map of all AI data center in Europe 1 week ago:
Eh. I’m not sure if we have any data centres dedicated specifically for training and running LLMs, but we do have data centres that do both.

That’s a hard question. It’s floral, which feels like “duh.” It has a fairly mild fragrance. Here it is almost always paired with lemon as well, so you end up with a kind of tangy, almost floral lemonade kind of thing.
It’s great.

I had no idea Sambucus was native to America. Elder flower is such a quintessential childhood flavour to me.

This is why I just can’t support straight people. Their choice of lifestyle just isn’t natural.

I have a husky too, but this describes me more than it does him. I’m the neurotic one in the relationship.

The right wanting to eradicate minorities has nothing to do with fiscal corruption. It’s just pure evil.

I think a lot of people had this experience. Yahtzee Croshaw had a similar experience, albeit compressed to a month, and it resulted in a book. It’s a really fun book, too.

I’ve been playing Hitman: World of Assassination all weekend.
Not sure if that’s better than the alternative.
- Comment on Damn straight! 3 weeks ago:
I’m a software developer. My old roomie is a truck driver. I’m devastated he makes almost as much as I do.
He has to drive a truck 5 days a week the entire year, no matter the weather. He deals with accidents, annoying customers, breakdowns, tight spaces, heavy goods. Workdays often drag out, and sometimes he didn’t manage to get home and had to sleep in the truck or at a motel. People are dependant on his work, if his truck doesn’t arrive, a store might not get food, and the attached community will suffer. He takes half an hour to commute to work.
I work from home. I have a few set meetings daily, but I schedule my time on my own. Three times a week I take some extra time to go for a run through the forest with my dog. I’m safe, my bed is always nearby. My commute is the thirty seconds it takes to crawl into clothes and to my office. If I miss my work we at worst have to delay a product launch by a little.
I’m happy with my pay, no doubt, and I wouldn’t want a pay cut. My friend deserves much more though. It’s bananas to me that he doesn’t catch up with me despite all the overtime and such. It’s incredibly unfair.

If the energy drink companies started making suckers we’d see so many toothless teens. Dentistry would be a fantastic career choice.

Fuck NVidia. Wouldn’t use them with Linux anyway.

Absolutely this. Just kicking the rock down the road, and they’ll scramble to fix it once it causes issues.
- Comment on You know this is gonna happen. 4 weeks ago:
I get what you’re getting at, and to an extent I agree.
Simultaneously, to me it feels like there’s something off about being hyped up to specifically shoot up a pride parade in a game that has yet to be released. That feels very pointed.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 4 weeks ago:
I bought the original Switch for SMT:V, which then took years to release, and shortly after got a PC release. At first I liked the console, but honestly the Steam Deck is heaps and bounds better.
What really drove me off the fucking edge is how garbage and overpriced Nintendo’s hardware is. They purposely design things to not be repairable and as fucked as possible, and they use horrible quality components to make their stuff.
After sitting in its case in a drawer for a few months, my joycon analogue sticks started melting. The rubber just lost its integrity. If Nintendo cared about that kind of thing, they’d design the joycons to have the tips be able to pop off, but no. Further, the component itself is garbage and drifts. That’s well known. You can get replacement hall effect sticks for $10, or you can buy a new set of joycons for ~$80.
Nintendo could have designed these to be easily maintainable by users, they could’ve designed them to not have the drift problem. They actively chose to be anti-consumer, and with the Switch 2 they doubled down on it.
8bitdo offers a clone of the Switch Pro controller, that’s better, has more features, and somehow they magically manage to keep the price lower than the official Switch Pro controller, despite not being a massive corporation with pockets as deep as Nintendo.
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 4 weeks ago:
This sort of overreaction isn’t rare though. People have died from it.
It’s also not exclusive to the U.S. We had a guy here in Sweden who got assaulted and practically kidnapped by masked men in the middle of the night. Guy thought he was going to die, and didn’t find out that they were police until they got him in the car and drove to the station.
What was his horrible crime? He’d shared images via Yahoo mail of him and his 30 year old boyfriend having sex. Some American organisation trawled through Yahoo mail, flagged these images and videos as possible CSAM, and forwarded it to Swedish authorities. Our authorities, instead of you know, doing any kind of investigation, or summoning the guy to the police station, or even just arresting him in a calm and peaceful manner, decided that sending masked goons to raid his home in the middle of the night was the way to go.

Absolut. Jag är inte från Norge, men grannlandet Sverige. Om jag skriver en mening på svenska och sedan översätter varje individuellt ord till engelska, så kommer du att få en rätt acceptabel mening på engelska.
Absolutely. I am not from Norway, but the neighbouring country Sweden. If I write a sentence in Swedish and then translate each individual word to English, then will you get a pretty acceptable sentence in English.
Sometimes certain word positions are shifted, but that’s about it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
There are some spots where he’s using Norwegian grammar and verbiage and just translated it word for word into English.
You can do this with the Nordic languages and get decent results, but sometimes the grammar doesn’t quite align.

- Comment on Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
To me it sounds more like Subnautica 2 has a “welcome to the planet that psychically induces you into a suicide cult” plot, which I’d say is a bit more interesting than “marooned beyond a point of no return.” A “solve the mystery of this planet” plot is quite in-line with Subnautica 1, I’d say.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
This echoes my thoughts. The harder Krafton gets fucked the better. I really enjoyed the first two Subnautica games, though. Very few games feed my inner child who dreamed of becoming a fish.
- Comment on I have a friend currently in Japan 1 month ago:
I’ve no idea why it’s being done. Somehow trends get started and people just catch on. Ice buckets, planking, that dance thing where everyone were standing still and then in the next frame it was chaos, eating a spoonful of cinnamon, that Area 51 thing. It happens all the time.
If it has to happen it’s nice when it’s at the expense of a cult that should really be shut down and prosecuted to hell and back.
- Comment on I have a friend currently in Japan 1 month ago:
I read something about people recently running into scientology buildings to map them out? I think that’s what it’s getting at.
