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 23 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on It really fucks with my recommendations, but fuck em™ 1 day 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 1 day 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.

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.

I like going outside barefoot but this is just disgusting.

- 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.

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 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.
