Wow, they were still around?
- Comment on NotTheChaser: Greens senator brings a whole salmon into the Senate chamber 3 days ago:
More engaging than a lump of coal, I guess?
- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Pre-Order Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Wonder how long we’ll have to wait for the PC port.
- Comment on If I was a Health Care CEO after Luigi and felt in fear of my life from someone else how would I hire security? What would be a good deal? And does security act like the Secret Service to take a bulle 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 5 weeks ago:
Schrödinger’s asshole. It’s testing boundaries. If you say something, they’ll claim it was just a joke. If you don’t they’ll keep going and likely get worse.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 5 weeks ago:
I’m old enough that I remember when 28FPS was considered a target, and my vision isn’t as hot as it used to be. So long as I’m not noticing any obvious issues, I don’t really care enough to check.
- Comment on What job do you need this hard hat for? 1 month ago:
Yee-har’d hat.
- Comment on Colesworth exit gates 1 month ago:
The gates are tied to the cameras. They do motion tracking and gait recognition (but they swear they don’t do facerec) to track you through the store, and recognise whether you’ve made a payment. If you haven’t, they don’t open.
- Comment on Colesworth exit gates 1 month ago:
Dunno about the legalities but I have had this happen. Walked in to check if they had a product. they didn’t, so I left. Gates decided “Nope, fuck you. Spend some money, pleb.” Staff member saw and swiped me out tho, total non issue.
- Comment on Coles to dramatically reduce number of products to simplify shopper experience 1 month ago:
So how does reducing your rage “add choice”, exactly? This is the most balls-out corporate doublespeak I’ve heard in a while.
FWIW, I’m not deadset against this (because honestly, who needs fucking 50 different kinds of toothpaste or toilet paper), but there’s no way in hell this is about customers. This is about exerting power over suppliers.
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 1 month ago:
Not familiar with those particular games, but if you’re lucky there might be a third party mod manager that takes some of the hassle out.
- Comment on Why does it seem like every TV series I've ever watched gets cancelled/rushed/incomplete ending, while movies (even those in a film series/trilogy) rarely face the same problem? 2 months ago:
Different financial goals. Movie series are designed around a hype cycle to put out a major blockbuster every few years or whatever and produce massive ROI. Series are produced by streaming providers primarily to entice new customers on to their platform and rake in subscription fees. Once they have the customers from season one, there’s less incentive to keep pumping money into the series.
- Comment on Can cats see color? 2 months ago:
They do, but differently than us. They trade some sharpness and colour perception for field of view, low light vision, and speed / motion tracking. 30fps to a cat would look like a series of stills. Source via Archive.org
- Comment on Mecha Comet is a modular Linux handheld coming soon to Kickstarter for $159 2 months ago:
The product website says the enclosure will be available as (I guess?) stl files, so that’ll be a good starting point.
- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 2 months ago:
Dialing in to a local BBS to play 4-player deathmatch DooM 2, circa 1995.
- Comment on A post about a dead game 2 months ago:
Oh I remember that. Played pretty regularly for a couple years during lockdown IIRC then completely forgot about it. Shame, it was pretty fun.
- Comment on Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South 2 months ago:
Not that they won’t try, but it’s very difficult to blanket ban VPNs. There are very legitimate business reasons to use them and it isn’t necessarily easy for ISPs to distinguish between a “recreational” VPN connection and an employee VPN’ing into say, a work datacenter. Industry will kick up a massive fuss about it.
- Comment on Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South 2 months ago:
In other news, VPN subscriptions have skyrocketed in the U.S South.

Holy fuck what a depressing looking suburb. I’m not surprised he wanted to blow shit up.
- Comment on How do we know the government doesn't just have a secret hardware backdoor in all our devices? 2 months ago:
We don’t. The point is to reduce attack surface relative to target value. People use a VPN for piracy, for example, not because it’s totally secure, but because rights holders generally aren’t going to bother going after a single person when they’d have to go thru a VPN provider as well. OTOH someone doing it on clearnet is being logged by their ISP and the data is right there. OTOOH, the three letter agencies are absolutely going to bother if they have a tip that you’re doing something really dangerous to the status quo.

I mean that’s true too, assuming you don’t destroy your air fryer first.
- Comment on Meal prep 3 months ago:
Okay this is a shitpost, but ffs don’t try this. That’s a small electric fan-forced oven. There’s a nonzero chance the airflow will splash water all over the inside, which is absolutely not liquid proof. Water + electricity == bad.

Straight to the recycle bin, then.
