Then there’s Nikola Tesla sitting there with a bulb that has a 2700k color temp and a lot less moths.
- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
Its called surveillance capitalism.
Microsoft is first and foremost a company that aims to profit on the data it can gather.

Someone please correct me if im wrong because I’m too lazy to look it up, but I was told goodwill is for profit.

I see thank you. I’m not too aware of how this works but do you know if BlueTwelve is able to use a different publisher if they were to make a sequel? Or does Annapurna have some claim to the IP too?
- Comment on meow_irl 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, with what happened at Annapurna, any sequel will be made by a completely different team of developers.
Honestly, it would be better to wish for a unique spiritual successor than a sequel from a Company that would rather replace their devs then to negotiate with them.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 2 months ago:
But, you know if a business changes to dynamic pricing and their next quarterly numbers shows that the vast majority of people didn’t swallow it, and revenue is hugely down, they would undo it in a second.
You would be right if we assume that
- The people leading these companies are making informed data driven decisions.
- Companies majorly made money through selling goods/services
However once a company is a certain size or in the correct position it’s more about showing a growth potential to investors, then actually proffiting from selling goods/services. Investors is really how these companies make money now. I’m not an economist so I’m not sure if this is still technically capitalism when the majority of profits come straight from investors but to me it sounds much more like a ponzi scheme.
My point being is that in a best case scenario, a nationwide boycott could take place and a company makes $0 gross income. But they can still profit if they can convince their investors that they are taking the right steps to position themselves in “this new economy”. Now realistically someone is still going to buy their products and any boycott effort will just have minor effects. The absolute worst case scenario for anyone actually in charge of making decisions like this at a large company is they get a golden parachute and hop over to another place.
Just like you said, why would they turn down free money?

For Android, NewPipe is great. I think I prefer FreeTube now however. Mostly because of the ability to use the Invidious api, built in SponsorBlock, settings coss-compatibility with the desktop version, and a better way to organize and export data (IMO). However, freetube android does has a few rough spots that newpipe doesn’t have, so ymmv.

Wouldn’t the cats have also been demesticated by the wheat? Since the wheat domesticated humans, stored the wheat berries in silos which attracted mice and is the whole reason cats were like… “I live here now.”

- Comment on A Lego game about building with Legos, not a world with Legos in it? Yes please 4 months ago:
I’ve played this a lot with my daughter and while it has some great moments, the actual Lego building in this game is really wonky with a controller. It’s a bit easier with a keyboard and mouse bit it’s still leaves something to be desired.
The rest of the game is great though.

I was just talking to my friends about this and the related food theory video on pizza chains.

I might also recommend instacart from a restaurant supply store like restaurant depot. You can find a lot of interesting things there in the frozen section.
- Comment on Or *else*! 4 months ago:
The video said that the unripe friut is the flower. Unless I misunderstood something it sounds like there’s not a traditional blossom. And the wasp cralws into the fruit to polenate it.
- Comment on Or *else*! 4 months ago:
Huh, didn’t know that the fig fruit was also the flower.
So does the wasp simply help the propigation of the fig tree when it poliniates or does it helps the fig fruit ripen?
I know fig trees can also propgate via cutings too, so I’m wondering how essential wasps are to fig farms.
- Comment on Nintendo Issues Multiple DMCAs On The Modding Site 'GameBanana' 5 months ago:
GameBanana mods have saved me so much wasted time while playing animal crossing nh with my daughter.
The game is cute but it’s so slow with many long loading screens and has one if the worst UIs of any game I’ve ever played. Mods were able to help a bit atleast.
Fuck Nintendo.

You make a good point and there is nothing wrong with healthy skepticism, but you would keep in mind that this is a book from the 1998 by a credentialed and respected author.
The book does go into much further detail on the different styles it defines. And it utilizes extensive field work which started in 1986 which includes behavioral observations, parent / teacher questionnaires, and medical data. This is the psychologists summary of what they think is the best parenting styles at the time with the data they had.
I would recommend if you’re interested in the subject and wish to critique it as it to read the book yourself.
I’ve just finished it and would love to see some opposing views that make sense.
- Comment on Folksy stuff 7 months ago:
Yep, totally agreed.
