- Comment on Montrealer who dumped water on unhoused man's face issues public apology. 3 days ago:
We live in a society that teaches us to value others based on their ability to work. So naturally people think homeless are intrinsically humans with less value then themselves.
Once you’ve been taught you’re better then others really it’s really all downhill from there.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 2 weeks ago:
If the LIBRARIAN doesn’t understand this as a service the library offers - then they don’t offer it - or if you think they’re wrong you need to have an adult conversation that they do and that it should be ok. It’s weird to just assume you can go around sticking your cat5e into other peoples ethernet ports like that.

It’s kind of all that matters though. We don’t need to trust her - we need her acceptance of the act for which she is the gatekeeper of. If we don’t have it - trust over what she said is irrelevant since we don’t even have the basic trust over the act.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 2 weeks ago:
Pi power consumption is going up too. And x86 keeps coming down. Idle power draw the pi wins you’d get 2x longer idle. But under load if you compared the workoutput to wattage I bet it’s pretty close.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 2 weeks ago:
Yep, that’s what ‘generally’ and ‘niche’ means. The n100 doesnt have hyper threading so isnt subject to that kind of attack - btw the same attack that AMD has been subject to to many times over and over. Not sure what’s good on ARM curiosity - still interested to know.

There’s gotta be a bunch of niche cases why a pi is better - but generally…not.
What usecase is arm based linux and bsd all that important? Outside of arm dev - probably not much.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 2 weeks ago:
At the ever increasing cost of the pi and how limiting it is, the n100 is a no brainer.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 2 weeks ago:
The reality despite what you or i might do, is that 99% of people don’t carry around an ethernet or hardwire in when there is available wifi.
The library might be public, but it’s still a good idea to communicate your intent or obtain permission prior to using their network in away they might deem to be unexpected.
“Do you have ethernet?” is actually a common library question and the response from whoever works the front desk will likely tell you everything you need to know.
- Comment on Those were the days 3 weeks ago:
Contextually I’m saying it’s a diaper. This is a guy who doesn’t love getting out of his chair.
- Comment on Those were the days 3 weeks ago:
Phones didn’t have UFS/USB storage like today. So usually you were using a proprietary cable and software to move files over.
- Comment on 卄乇ㄥㄥ ㄚ乇卂卄 5 weeks ago:
Would love this without the text and possibly the distortion
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 1 month ago:
A blog of another website’s report on what reddit users wrote.
Nice.
- Comment on Looks 1 month ago:
I mean for hundreds of years we thought brains of black people were physically structured differently. Humanity has been guessing at what’s right and has been critically incorrect through out most of history.
- Comment on Let's throw back to the 80s. 2 months ago:
As someone born in the 80’s… Where wasn’t the ashtray! They were embedded into everything!
- Comment on Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick departs in just a few days 4 months ago:
Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.
- Comment on Radiatori 5 months ago:
It’s made with potato, but also flour, egg, water… Then boiled in water…Like all pasta.
- Comment on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€ 6 months ago:
Probably one of the best games I ever played. I came for the visuals because I finally got an RTX card and stayed for the halflife vibes.
It’s the closest thing I’ve played to OG halflife. You get that similar feel of isolation and heroism, a lot of WTF is going on, some weird entity that is omnipresent, great gun play and action, and is almost entirely indoors. Story is more robust like HL2 evolved the genre.
- Comment on Disconnected (2023) 6 months ago:
This is /c/shitposts…
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 8 months ago:
Your kids aren’t kids and probably understand the value of a good night’s sleep in order to work the next day?
I generally don’t go out on week nights especially not late because I want to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep or I’m a grumpy unproductive mess. My evenings I’m making dinner, getting ready for the next day, and trying to find an hour or two to relax before doing it all over again
- Comment on EBAY Prices 8 months ago:
The MA1 specifically was out of stock for a while which lead to high prices on secondary markets. Like most secondary markets when the primary market supply goes up there’s a bit of a lag before the prices fall down again.
- Comment on Do you lucid dream? 8 months ago:
There were a few months in my life where I was remembering my dreams and where I was able to start realizing i was dreaming and then I would start flying like Neo in the matrix.
But I don’t really remember my dreams 99/100 nights and it’s been that way most of my life. If you can’t actually experience the dream you can’t even start to lucid dream.
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 8 months ago:
Never knew anyone to use this
- Comment on Shirley you cant be serious! 8 months ago:
Newark does this. It’s interesting but I didn’t love it.
- Comment on Shrinkflation is out of control 8 months ago:
Lol yeah the person who replied didn’t know what nofrills was but the bank of Canada also increased total money supply similar to how the us federal reserve did.
- Comment on Shrinkflation is out of control 8 months ago:
I’m totally with you that shrinkflation is an issue.
But these nofrills packages are intentionally priced at an even value like $10. to the point that the price is written directly on the package not an in store label that they can update. I get things like chicken and sausage patties like this too. So instead of putting in 3 and updating the price to $15 or whatever they just take one out.
Additionally fish is not a staple good, generally fish is sold at “market price” because it’s affected by populations and seasons and prices for fish vary significantly through the years because of this.
But again I agree and the best thing to do is pay attention and not buy things that you don’t think are worth.
