- Comment on I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran 3 days ago:
I will, for the fans still paying to see him in Epstein’s Arena.
I’ll take a big fan with me, point it at the crowd, and shit in a bucket. You can guess where this is going.

I wouldn’t fully credit them, at best. VISA and MasterCard have their own puritan history, that fringe group is a scapegoat to do what they wanted to do anyways.
- Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person) 4 days ago:
I’ll cheerlead universal compatibility any day even if I have no reason to buy this myself. No new games means I don’t care. I’m in the “been there, done that” group.
There’s one VR game I’m interested in playing and that’s https://github.com/Crementif/BotW-BetterVR
I don’t think that alone worth $1500 before tax and shipping to Canada 😅
I tried with Index but my 12th i5 isn’t good enough either so I’d need a new computer as well…looks outside ah, right.

- Comment on my year 5 days ago:
He’s strict with drugs still including pain killers in hospital. Did his vasectomy on camera without numbing.
One exception was for his pay to view stunts video he did a couple years back where he found a willing quack to inject something directly into his spinal cord and then immediately sprint until he was temporarily paralysed. He was okay with that since it was brief, not fun, and not psychoactive.

That was oddly specific AND relatable.
- Comment on KytyPS5 (PS5 Emulator) can now run GTA V at 60fps for few minutes before crashing 1 week ago:
PS4 and PS5 emulators I don’t think any of them actually emulate the CPU at least. This is more like QEMU and WINE, sort of. They do emulate some stuff like parts of the firmware, memory management, input/output systems, API.
The first PS4 emulator that got in-game with a few 2D titles was literally just a modified version of QEMU as a proof of concept. Only ran on Unix based operating systems because the PS4 runs a modified version of FreeBSD.

I’d combine Slashdot’s voting system with the original iteration of the long defunct Facepunch Forums Smartness system. It was rather mean but I loved how it boosted overall communication quality because it forced users to spellcheck and avoid using slurs.
Facepunch also had emoticon reactions like Pylova/Piefed although our system is pretty shit with WAY too many emoticons, so much so that they’ll fail to all fully load in.
Basically a new account started with 5000 points. Different spelling or grammar mistakes along with slurs lost you differing amounts of points. You gained points with error free posts/replies, but it was balanced in such a way that you’d lose points and get auto banned when you hit 0 pretty quickly if you didn’t try to improve. Uncorrected errors would be underlined, colored red, and visible to everyone else. IIRC you could edit posts and correct them but you didn’t regain lost points by doing so, just avoided having shameful red errors.

If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something
That’s a public tracker/index. You don’t need to sign up at all to connect to a public tracker swarm.
and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded?
Yep. You can set bandwidth limits if your upload and/or download internet package is bad so it doesn’t interfere too much.
Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished?
Hit and Run is considered bad manners and selfish behaviour. You can get away with it on public trackers, but private ones typically ban you for that. It’s called leeching. It’ll be based on your total upload/download stats, or your ratio in other words.
- Comment on Why doesn't gnu.org load on my WiFi? 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure there’s a reason. My first thought is it sounds like a DNS issue, but I’m not sure why unless you’re using something like NextDNS and got a false positive block. If the VPN works, makes it even more likely.

Excuse the rancid salvaged screenshot from my old defunct photobucket account:
That was when I had an Athlon XP 1500+ 1.83Ghz single core trying Medal of Honor.
Going from that to a Core 2 Quad 6600 was magical for PS2 emulation!

Most drama you’ll see on Fediverse will involve leadership, moderators, and power-users within the following groups who don’t like each other:
Anarchist faction: db0, quokk, nexus, etc
Tankie faction: .ml, Leningrad, hexbear, etc
Liberal faction: status quo enforcers .world, the biggest instance unfortunately. Feddit, etc.
Powertripping/insane mods and admins. A modicum of online power goes to people’s heads here same as anywhere. Stick around long enough you’ll pick up on the repeat offenders via osmosis even if you don’t actively dig up dirt.
Manipulative narrative control obsessed web and app developers. Lemmy and Piefed both have awful people as lead developers. Then there was Tesserect which… recent drama. I’m not getting into it unasked.
Good news is you picked a good home instance with .zip as far as I know.

I’m totally fine never buying anything American ever again.
The only pain point for me is computer parts. They’re already insane, this makes them 50% more expensive on top of that because x86 is USA dominated.
- Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth 4 weeks ago:
And on the flip side, if you’re intentionally being offensive, don’t be shocked when people get offended. There’s no polite way to call someone a dipshit or any alternative similar word. Insult is insult. I always find this amusing when the person deliberately causing offense gets offended that other people are offended by them being offensive. Own it or don’t do it to begin with, Don. Speech has consequences.
