- Comment on One Nation’s aim to slash migration is clear. Here’s how its policies compare 18 hours ago:
I’m so tired of hearing about what one nation does
We’re far better off talking about all the good things the others do
- Comment on I'm just a big toasty cinnamon bun that isn't fatally trapped in a crevice. 20 hours ago:
I actually sat during lunch with 2 mountaineering record holders when I did my mountaineering training with two record holders who spoke about all the fuckups they had and how one spent the night in a biouvac in a crevasse once and how terrible it was
Just what a guy doing his first mountaineering training needed to hear… That and on the first day of training you’re dumped in the middle of nowhere and told that everyone will fall in a crevasse during the training
- Comment on Tony Burke says Pauline Hanson 'hates my part of Sydney' after 'hit list' threat 1 day ago:
They hate most Australian citizens and speak openly about hating lefties, Greenies, migrants, woke people, etc, attributes that cover most citizens
- Comment on Live: Pauline Hanson's press club address interrupted by protest banner 1 day ago:
So many idiots on Facebook saying the person who did it should be arrested for breach of security and organised crime and such. “What if it was a bomb”
It wasn’t a bomb, and anyone can sign up to attend the press club, so its not like it’s a private area
And it’s weird to watch the same people calling everything a nanny state lose their minds because of a poster demanding police to throw every obscure law they can here.
In fact, it’s scary to watch this overreaction because it shows what we should expect if she wins
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
Even worse, when she talks about education, she calls it woke. People I know who didn’t finish year 12 would do it if they could
Instead, her narcissism is so big that she believes she seems to believe she’s the smartest person in the room in public
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
Of course. She didn’t even finish high school and has no legal training. She’s mentally incapable of writing policies or even writing the basis of them (she might be able to write them into chatgpt though)
She doesn’t even have the work ethics to bother understanding what she’s signing
That’s the sad thing. Put her in a room of Australians, and in most rooms, she’d be the least educated one there
- Comment on Live: Pauline Hanson's press club address interrupted by protest banner 3 days ago:
Gina rinehart literally bought 10% of Channel 7. Thats why it feels like every 2 posts is a “pauline is great” post on facebook
- Comment on they're havin a laugh 6 days ago:
Here in Australia it’s always been too oriented towards Australian rules football. I never gave a toss.
And a lot of the players are total dickheads too (one was our customer). I don’t mind soccer but nobody likes it here, and I rarely watch it anyway
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Consoles are PC’s. They’re just locked down. They even use the same processors.
I dated a few women who played games regularly. It was always on consoles and I had to explain what steam was.
You can’t narrow a definition to a limited subsection of what a PC is, simply because (ironically), some of them are locked down to block competiton
If you ask gamers unprompted what the biggest gaming stores are, I guarantee that Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo’s stores will be mentioned
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Interesting wordsmithing. Why did you ignore Xbox?
Oh yeah, Xbox client ships with windows lol . And Apple has made it increasingly difficult to install apps outside of their store
Furthermore, you’ve narrowed down gaming to a very narrow definition. Nobody is stopping PlayStation or Nintendo selling games on PC. Whether or not you like it though, they are selling games, and they do compete with steam
Or are you genuinely arguing that Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo aren’t competing?
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Oh. PlayStation, Xbox and switch don’t exist?
Games are also sold on apples App store
Fairly sure at least 3 of these stores are bigger. Most people don’t even know what steam is
- Comment on Seems very topical with the rise of One Nation 1 week ago:
It’s a small luxury plane.
I have a pilot license, and they don’t even let you rent them unless you have a lot of hours, and very limited aviation companies rent out cirrus planes
You can buy a lot of cessna’s for the same price. It’s clear she flies a plane like that to exaggerate her wealth, not out of need
- Comment on Block 1 week ago:
I really wish they made games like Unreal again. I miss that game
- Comment on 'Disgusted': Albanese, Gillard condemn 'Ditch the Witch' campaign targeting Allan 1 week ago:
The problem is, we have too many guys here in Australia who overcompensate and try to act macho.
Honestly, it seems worse than America at this point.
- Comment on One Nation leader Pauline Hanson tells rally Ben Roberts-Smith is a person ‘I respect and I admire’ 1 week ago:
Of course she does. She also admires Trump and seemed even more interested in him when he was convicted of tax fraud on all counts
The only people she openly defends are criminals
- Comment on Australia's fuel supply secured well into August as bowser pressure eases 1 week ago:
Of course they have.
Nobody with half a brain cell actually thought we’d run out of petrol
And it’s funny how the same people scaremongering telling everyone we’d run out and petrol would be at $10 now are now simply scaremongering about something else…
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. As already mentioned steam frame doesn’t need a computer
That being said, there are a few good games, but also lots of shit ones
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 2 weeks ago:
Steam frame. Already have a rog Ally x and dock. Would be nice to have better performance though
- Comment on Reddit... 2 weeks ago:
It’s now been overrun by lobbyists and bots
But, Thedonald, fatpeoplehate and similar subreddits were a thing
Ironically, the biggest idiots also got upset at the female CEO, and didn’t realize she was allowing their subs to be tolerated at the time.
But, I guess now those idiots have spread out, and basically turned the whole thing into crap which is no longer fun (like Facebook)
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 2 weeks ago:
I sold my quest 2’s in preparation for this
Will happily re buy pistol whip on steam
- Comment on Yeah that's a problem for me 2 weeks ago:
A lot of our customers were rich.
Expensive houses tend to integrate everything so you can’t even find the microwave without opening every cupboard, let alone the bin
In the worst case I saw, the hallways were designed to blend all the doors into the wall to make them look seamless. So you’d be pushing walls just to find the bathroom
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
Windows was mostly the same with ARM too for most people honestly.
In our industry, lots of people got ARM surface laptops (and didn’t even know it was an ARM CPU, except that the software we used had an old version of OpenVPN, which caused a specific issue unless they manually installed as it was a kernel module). The reason the ARM changeover might have seemed seamless, is that developers were likely given priority access to hardware (as what happened with PPC -> Intel)… On Windows there was special hardware for it, and I suspect there was a Arm development kit on MacOS too probably.
People also seem to compare Apple hardware against PC hardware which costs 1/2 the price too. I owned a Power MAC, Mac Pro and Mac Studio. The Mac Pro ram alone cost more than a FASTER PC as the first gen used Fully Buffered ECC RAM.
Developers can optimise for Apple based on whats available though . The other big advantage Apple has is that they mostly control the service process, and, you can’t bite the hand that feeds if you are one, which controls bad press too.
And when they use another architecture, nobody seems to cross compare gaming performance as much, etc, as the biggest MAC sites also tend to be apple “exclusive” sites, and I’m willing to bet the people that operate them are shareholders… Apple have always been behind in graphics performance (and, still are. The M1’s and M2’s didn’t even have hardware raytracing as an example, whilst even the Intel Iris chips did).
However, by the way people talk about Apple, you’d think the M series CPU’s were absolutely smashing PC performance and they were even expecting the M5 chips to compete with the GTX 4080’s a few months ago.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
It’s nothing to do with the standard I believe
The same cables and adapters all worked when I used them on my nuc for the same devices, and they wouldn’t even work with my mouse on the Mac studio.
My suspicion is that the shell of the case is a bit thick (as the port is recessed behind it), so some cables just failed to touch fully. As, some cables felt more snug and clicked into the port better
For the cost of the computer, it damned sure shouldn’t have that issue
Even worse, for the price of the computer, the power button should be on front, not buried on the back. That’s overcomplicating things for the sake of doing so
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
My Mac studio m2 was the only computer I ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB cables
People talk about Apple hardware like it’s incredible, but honestly, no pc manufacturer would make that mistake
- Comment on Polling suggests one nation preferred over labor, negative perceptions and low awareness of budget blamed. 2 weeks ago:
Polling also claimed they’d win SA.
She’s attacked the majority of Australians. And, especially with the new tax changes, fairly sure younger people in particular are going to find them a good thing. The claim it’s a death tax definitely isn’t being accepted lol
Every left wing person will put her close to the bottom
But a lot of right wing people don’t want to wake up each morning to read about the stupid shit Pauline did yesterday too
- Comment on Damn straight! 2 weeks ago:
What about people who manufacture cigarettes?
Or gambling companies?
I can think of many jobs society can safely get rid of
The guy flipping burgers is essential and people need to eat.
“News reporters” at sky news… not essential
- Comment on Damn straight! 2 weeks ago:
I show the same respect to any workers, but, some work is much less specialized.
I wouldn’t say a vibe coder is as valuable as a software developer as an example
- Comment on Can the second coming of Tony Abbott resurrect the Liberal party? Or is it another step toward ‘self-destruction’? 2 weeks ago:
30 million people in the country, and the only one they can find is someone we voted out already.
They could find people with phds who are younger, but nooo. Can’t do that 😂
- Comment on Trump's now trying to get a golf course in Australia.. After his tower was blocked 3 weeks ago:
It’s not like we don’t have Australians who couldn’t build this golf course if we wanted.
Lots would happily pay.
However, for reasons which could only make sense due to corruption, it appears that the mayor would rather do a deal with a convicted tax felon, confirmed rapist and suspected tax offender.
And he is highly disliked by Australians and has made public statements attacking Australia fairly recently.

We’re no longer just rendering text anymore. It’s at the point webpages are basically compiled in real time.
It’s no longer possible unless you give up a lot
