- Comment on Abandoned by Nvidia and AMD, blamed by Sam Altman, and agreeing with Elon Musk: it sucks to be a PC gamer in 2026 — but here's why I’m not giving up hope just yet. 2 days ago:
I have 64GB of DDR4, but only a 5600XT. Held off on a graphics card upgrade a little too long and missed the boat, but I still get by just fine. And I can happily say I’ve never paid more than 500 for a graphics card lol
- Comment on makes me feel alright 2 days ago:
I’m already halfway there!
But unfortunately it led to me ordering Five Guys delivered…

There’s also the looming hammer over RAM and GPU manufacturers for price fixing. They’ve literally strong armed AI companies to buy chips that they don’t have the data centres or power supply to run yet, and by the time they do the chips will likely be obsolete.

It doesn’t suck to be a PC gamer, we have a massive library of 3 decades worth of games and a growing library of near-native emulation.
It just sucks when you’re trying to lick up the floor around AAA developers. But that sucks for consoles, too.
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
Power hungry mods is one thing, reddit gave us powermods - coordinated moderators who push an agenda. Reddit admin supported powermods in the takeover of many subreddits shortly after they pushed through the API change that killed 3rd party apps.

I’d argue it’s more of an “industry” rather than a “culture”, that sits as the root cause of your distaste of betting. A predatory industry victimises that people to take their wealth. “The house always wins”.

The issue there is that they aren’t being held liable to the cost they’re incurring.

No, they had it right above.
I’m happy to bet beer money with a friend on a random chance I’m interested in.

And you showed it after you went through there and turned off all the legitimate interest ones…
- Comment on Luanti (aka Minetest) removed from Google Play due to baseless AI copyright notice 2 months ago:
It makes sense for Google to comply with the law. It would be good for Google to act in good faith, instead of facilitating frivolous spam complaints and preventing their legal resolution through subversive threats to the victim businesses on their platforms.

DMCA isn’t all that unreasonable, though. It’s Google’s implementation of the DMCA policy that fails everyone. The article explains this further, with how instead of adhering to the 14 day restoration requirement in the DMCA law, Google took 46 days to restore this app last time.
The legal remedy here is for the developer to sue Google alongside the false DMCA company. Unfortunately, Google’s response to this kind of thing is to usually ban the developer from Google servers, thereby cutting their future income.
TL;DR Google is the biggest cunt in all of this.

Aurora Store is good enough for most. It’s still on Google Play, but you’re not using the Google Play app and you can even pick which version and see an Exodus tracking report before you download.

Pfisterer HV terminations are male to male. They also have big butt plugs for when they’re not in use. Kinky Germans.

- Comment on Palantir Gets Massive UK Tax Breaks on Profits Made From Public Money 4 months ago:
Palantir doesn’t own the whole country, not yet, it’s more of a malignant tumour that keeps spreading and resists treatment. Some progress appears to be being made right now but who knows if the country will survive it in the long run.
Meanwhile Trump and co seem to pretty much own the US now.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 4 months ago:
The clever part is drawing the parallel between two unrelated things, to draw on the recipient’s emotions about one of them and entice them to compare why they feel differently about the other.
Somewhat manipulative, perhaps, but only in the way that explaining things manipulates someone into understanding.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 4 months ago:
There were people around the globe who knew about the nsa before Edward Snowden and told the truth.
There was a whole fucking Will Smith movie about it in the late 90s.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 4 months ago:
I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase “Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 9 months ago:
You can set them up in either order, you just need to set them up separately by disconnecting the Linux drive (or the drive of any other OS, even a 2nd Windows install) when installing Windows. Windows needs to think it’s the only OS installed.
But yeah it’s probably simpler to do Windows then Linux, as Linux doesn’t care, so you won’t need to unplug anything.
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 9 months ago:
Absolutely. The last thing you want is Windows’ multi-OS boot manager popping up all the time. BIOS handles that more than well enough.

We could also all sleep together in big rooms, like stadiums, to save heat and power elsewhere. And it won’t turn into that orgy scene at the end of that Matrix movie, not unless Carol wants it to.

Mr Sewards, who is a member of a parliamentary group focused on consumer protection, also voiced fears that such a precedent could eventually extend to physical goods, as digital technology becomes increasingly integrated into household items.
If anything, the recent AWS outages and all the IOT physical device failures prove beyond all reasonable doubt that this is happening, and not just accidentally.
