  How old is he, wtf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really don't want to talk about our problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really fucks with my recommendations, but fuck em™⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t look up how much space Nvidia drivers take then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Play video games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like going outside barefoot but this is just disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technichally-wrong community. Here here, peepostin' lika pro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sow what is the normal pee color? Green?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't know shit in class⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I only knew in high school that I learn better alone…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon considers LASIK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The code itself is also copyrighted. Decompiled code is a derivative work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do children address a non-binary parent?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Closest Ancestor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 release date now set for September 12, plus a new trailer and deep dive are out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean? Borderlands 3 were amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would this list look like for your generation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what half of these means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Schools banning phones is one of the dumbest thing to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets dommed by his barber⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you cry because of haircut? Sometimes I am unsatisfied when I leave barbershop, but it’s not like anyone cares about my haircut, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.
