I don’t mind grabbing a beer with coworkers after work, but that’s it. In work I’d rather have my mind somewhere else.

It appears that you seem to be more correct than me, although I remember hearing that in African (maybe not all?) cultures breasts are not fetished at all, especially if woman walk topless all day in some of them.
- Comment on How do body organs work in males? 2 weeks ago:
We’re not. It’s a western culture thing. People living in Africa are weirded out by western males thinking of female breasts in sexual way.

Meanwhile I am waiting to buy a good “unsupported by Windows 11” PC cheap this October.

If I had everything to survive, a way to go back and couple of books - sign me up.

Why even use Spotify at all? Isn’t it like the worst option in terms of actually paying creators? Even YouTube Music is much better option imho, although the app is unresponsive and a UX nightmare.

Don’t look up how much space Nvidia drivers take then.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
This could technically be possible with AR glasses. You’d still want to pair them with a wireless keyboard and maybe a mouse though for efficiency. I don’t know what’s the state of that though.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
For most people smartphone is more convenient. I much prefer desktop computer though, because how more efficient it is, and apps don’t simply stop, because of low memory (although I don’t understand why my phone with 6 gigs of RAM has this problem in the first place).
- Comment on Yes, this is what people did back then 4 weeks ago:
Play video games.
- Comment on spicy one 4 weeks ago:
I might be overly pedantic, but it drives me insane that there are many words, where you can’t take the meaning from its parts, because they would mean something completely different.

- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 month ago:
I don’t plan to do LASIK, unless:
-
I am not able to put my glasses on;
-
When my glasses break, I am not able to go outside and drive by bus to the nearest glasses repair shop.

Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Pokemon MMO’s are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.
And yet I don’t understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they make big news about that.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
They will eventually be all taken down. That’s the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.
They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let’s be honest. You don’t).
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is “piped out”. The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you get is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator and it’s copyrighted like any other data on the disc/cartridge. You are not writing the game yourself if you are decompiling it. And it’s logically a derivative work.
I don’t understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
The code itself is also copyrighted. Decompiled code is a derivative work.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
I won’t say if that project is legal or not, but expect it (and many others) to be taken down by Nintendo soon. Make a local copy if you want to preserve it.
- Comment on Windows 11's inconsistency 2 months ago:
There was only one time when Microsoft cared about having consistent UI and even did a lot of research on how to make operating system easier for people that didn’t use computers before. It was when they developed Windows 95.

A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 2 months ago:
There’s a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons.
Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it’s silly that it’s only Chrome is being making fun of.
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 2 months ago:
I have never used Limewire, but if they had distributed binaries that you should pay for, it is a copyright infringement, even if you could technically compile it yourself. There are applications that do this and it’s compatible with GPL license.
