  Downboting because this is NOT “mildly” infuriating

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok set to be banned in the US after losing appeal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not going to be banned. It’s a forced sale or spinoff. They’ll still have TikTok. Media just made up the term ban. It’s just that tencent has ties overseas and they don’t want the foreign influence

  I live that guaranteed there are companies like Nordstrom who are desperately trying to add this tech and some guy just makes it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok set to be banned in the US after losing appeal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s all it really says. Media made it into a ban, but it’s just that China has major influence over it and the us doesn’t want that, so they need to sell it or spin it off to an American company. Or they can shut it down, but no one is just going to set that much money on fire and walk away. The modern world I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Xbox backward-compatibility works?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe so? I think? It’s been a long time. The only thing I could see that would prevent it is if they require a check when launching it, but I remember if you had the disc in that was enough for it before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Xbox backward-compatibility works?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay the other person is onto the right path but not for the right reasons.

  The 360 used a PowerPC architecture, which at the time was very cost effective at the time. Pretty much most things now use x86, our standard 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs are this architecture. (ARM is another type that we are seeing now).

  Now, you cannot run code from one PC architecture to another, even emulated this is a very costly procedure, every call to the CPU, every call has to be translated. Even with emulation this is difficult. (Note how we’re still just now getting 360 emulators).

  This is mostly why Microsoft and Sony both said no to backwards compatibility, because there was no simple way to take a disc, pop it in, and play.

  So after the massive backlash (which they deserved, but also was understandable their point of view), Microsoft created their backward compatibility program. Essentially what they (or developers, not sure who did it) did, was to literally re-compile each entire game for x86, instead of PowerPC. They would then upload the bits to Microsoft, and that is what you download when playing. The disc you insert is purely for checking that you own it, after that you ignore everything else and download the x86 version which is runnable on your console.

  So, it stands that backward compatibility wasn’t feasible, it still isn’t “backward compatible”. They rebuilt everything from the source code to run. A pretty massive effort on Microsoft’s part and the developers just so we could play old games. Hopefully you see too why I don’t blame Sony for not going through all of that, it’s a lot of work.

  They did this to themselves. Crazy expensive prices, snacks no one can afford, dingy theaters, allowing noisy annoying patrons, there’s no benefit now.

  Four in ten employees agree that there has been more discussion about how to implement AI/tech in their workplace than actual change.

  Even if the YouTube video has a clickbait title you could change the title here, so we know what the video would be about

  The saving grace now is that you can burn through DA2 in a couple of days if you’re really dedicated to move into inquisition. It’s too bad with the gameplay since there are some hugely key plot points revealed in it

  Yeah I would immediately return honestly, there are plenty other espresso makers that don’t require wifi

  Of course not. This is like, the 4th time this guy has posted this and has yet to provide any screenshots, REST calls, or anything. If they were actually concerned about trolling this would be a GitHub issue, not a post on a support thread. It would behave been swarmed on. As far as I’m concerned this is just trolling until they provide actual proof to the devs.

  Keeps users in their wallet garden. Marketers love shoving shit in users faces whenever they launch the game. Inside the game it’s bad for. To advertise whatever other garbage there is, on their launcher they try to grab your attention for their other crap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NBC and owners of scrubs were the worst for it. Scrubs had an iconic soundtrack that picked songs for the exact mood of the story, but then licenses expired and they just chose cheaper songs. I don’t care how much it costs, when “I will try to fix you” comes on I immediately start tearing up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think too many people confuse “This game isn’t for me” with “This game isn’t good”.

  I personally do not like No Man’s Sky. Not my thing, tried, twice, just not for me. I decided that it’s not my thing, other people like it, so great! I’ll play other things more suited to me.

  I think it’s weird to go and make a whole post saying “It’s underdeveloped” when it (I believe?) best redemption and it has mostly positive reviews. This would be a fair post if instead they had said “This is why I personally don’t like No Man’s Sky” instead of “It’s broken and needs fixed”. No, people like those systems, it’s your opinion that you don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Right Has a Bluesky Problem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very good callout. It’s the same reason why they’re bigots - they have to feel bigger than someone. They always have to feel superior in every way. There’s a reason that immigrants and “the other” are always demonized and belittled by them, and it’s because they have to feel bigger than them. If they didn’t well, let’s look at where the majority of them actually fall on the societal ladder. The bottom. The vast majority of them are on the bottom rung of the societal ladder. Not having the others to make fun of/belittle/feel superior to would cause them to actually realize where they are and how much they’ve been screwed in life, and I think that actually terrifies them.

  Liberals just actualized and realized where most people are in society. I think the vast majority of conservatives are just manifesting pure denial.

  Which would make sense if the ban was ever about children. Reading the ban though, shows it was about control, and surveillance, under the guise of saving the children.
