When people say “left wing extremism” they mean calls to end hunger by taxing billionaire out of existence. When they talk about “right wing extremism” it’s people literally advocating for genocide.
- Comment on Why am I seeing posts from blocked instances? 1 week ago:
Whatever do you mean? Russia is clearly a communist Utopia that invaded Ukraine to get the Nazis. With 100% legitimate elections that have no undue influence what so ever.

That and DEI are the biggest boogie men for the right at the moment. DEI has a specific meaning but anytime they see a black person in a position of power it’s DEI.

I love how “woke” game journalists are lol.
- Comment on Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality' 3 weeks ago:
This means that each pixel roughly corresponds to a single photoreceptor in the eye, i.e. the nerve cells in the retina that convert light into biological signals,” adds Andreas Dahlin, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers. “Humans cannot perceive a higher resolution than this.”
This is the paragraph literally right above the one you quoted. Do you understand what they mean by “perfect” now? They are saying you literally could not precive a differece in resolution from the image and real life.

Before I figured out how to turn it off DDG’s (DuckDuckGo) AI usually sourced Wikipedia if there was an article available.

What the fuck is up with this website lmao. “It would be unreasonable for a landlord to evict an otherwise good tenant over something they can’t control” hasn’t stopped it from happening to people I know.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 5th 1 month ago:
Borderlands 4. Max leveled vex last week and am on the grind for gear now. Not a huge fan of the level of rarity of legendary gear tbh. It’s fine when you’re not looking for perfect rolls but if you are its kinda bullshit.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash 2 months ago:
The story is really good so far have beaten 1/3 guys to get the things (trying to not spoil for those who know nothing). I have been having a blast. Only crashed after a hotfix then a second one came out and fixed it as far as I can tell.
The specs required make no sense though it doesn’t look that much better than 3.
- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 2 months ago:
I’m becoming more and more convinced it is the engine honestly. It is probably harder to optimize and devs not having enough time to do so if I had to guess.

Because it’s fun and it’s the only game series me and my dad still play together.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 months ago:
What apps are only available as a docker container? I know some are flatpak only but thata not really the same.
I use an arch based distro though so maybe it’s an issue on smaller ones ive never run into.

- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits 2 months ago:
Because there is a level of stability in subreddits with >50k ish subscribers that subs smaller than that just don't have. You might have a lot of MAU because a sub hit r/all multiple times but goes back down to a much smaller number following that because it's out of the news.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits 2 months ago:
I don't know what it is about reddit buy I find myself constantly feeling outraged when I stop by to browse something that's not on Lemmy. I don't have any accounts anymore luckily but for some reason reddit feels harder to disengage on then lemmy/piefed.

Its ethier Linux or apple and at this point for most users and I think ethier is a better option than windows 11.

- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened | VGC 2 months ago:
3 has a bad story even if you aren't a fan of 2. It's peak middle aged men writing humor that the think teenagers would like. Gameplay is best in the series by far though. (Excluding 4 which I haven't played yet).
- Comment on Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer 2 months ago:
You basically have to be a developer and marketer to have even a chance of success in the current market and even then you could be the beat at both and simply not have the luck to go viral and only get a few hundred sales. So much of indie game selling is creating things that can go viral now hence the absolute proliferation of "freind slop" games because it's so easy for moments between two popular funny content creators to go viral.

Please explain if I'm wrong because I think I am because it can't b this stupid.
Its using llama to discover the way to enter credentials? And then using a normal brute force attack once that's done?

If anyone is reading this scroll through their comments they have no real opinions and get off on making people mad. Not even worth the thought power to prove them wrong block and move on like I'm doing after sending this.

Maybe not to someone who's a genocide denier but I don't think your opinions matter much to most people.

for refrence Walmart has had me in the "applied" stage of resumee review on their shitty website for nearly a month. I don't think people quite get how bad it is. I had to wait for a spot to open up to interview at McDonalds that I'm still waiting for because the closest one was two weeks out.

Yes. I'm unsure of where I heard it so take with a grain of salt but I've heard they make about the same number of calls to Google servers as a stock android phone.
