  The owner of an account can set individual posts or their entire account to be visible only to signed-in sessions. I see it used by certain artists that moved from twitter, and consider it an overall good feature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that won't launch and won't give you any errormessage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Games actually provide lots of debugging information, but not in an easily accessible manner. It is usually printed to stdout or stderr, which is to say, to a terminal output, and you’ll only see it if the game executable is launched from a terminal or the outputs are redirected to a file.

  Spez.

  He’s spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, “accidentally” banned a ton of NSFW subs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it does. 1945 was 80 years ago, which is easily grandparent age.

  Assume that great-grandfather is born in 1920 in Germany. He would be old enough to commit crimes against humanity and flee to Argentina at the war’s conclusion, at the age of 25. If he immediately had children in 1946, and they migrated back to Germany in the 60s or 70s, they could easily have adult grandchildren by today.

  It’s easy to condemn soldiers of the axis today, but being a conscientious objector wasn’t easy or good for the health during that time.

  Here’s a cursed idea for capitalists: renting your online identity. You pay a subscription fee to keep your original username, or you get an ugly suffix. If a suffixless username becomes available, it is put on auction for the suffixed plebeians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). My point is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.

  It doesn’t exist. Nor does brown. It’s all just orange, but with extra context. Here is a video you should watch that will be exploring the color brown.

  “Deeply sorry” rings false when it is followed by all the reasons excuses why he shouldn’t face the consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The indian and white uniting as one with a $500 Billion budget⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Attacking their arguments is pointless. Attack their sense of pride and superiority. Make them appear foolish and weak. Point out that they’re too late to stop open-source models, and that their sense of superiority blinded them to notice that a new, cheaper snake oil had outclassed theirs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 33⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker

  That’s more or less what happened to me. I found a factory job where I could spend most of the time operating machines instead of conversing with people. The pay was extremely average, but I ended up becoming one of the most productive workers simply because I liked the job.

  That was until the early pandemic supply chain issues caused productivity to implode, the veteran talent left, management doubled in size, so did overtime (well paid as it was), and I decided my health was more important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an English language pedant, I find this text message mildly infuriating.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was kind of past giving a shit. The teacher and I hated each other’s guts, but she couldn’t do a damn thing to me because I was top of my class (ESL at least) and represented my school multiple times in national competitions, and any attempt on her part to sabotage me would have been obvious. The worst thing she could do was mark one of my answers incorrect because I had used an American synonym instead of the British word (I think it was “trunk” instead of “boot”), and when I reminded her that she had marked it correct for two other students, she went back and crossed them out. My classmates knew and didn’t resent me for it.

  I took an option to graduate early from that class mostly out of spite, but partly because I knew I couldn’t keep biting my tongue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an English language pedant, I find this text message mildly infuriating.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better than my English second language teacher claiming that a “ship in distress” is doing fine because “distressed” is the opposite of “stressed” (and calling me into her office for correcting her in front of the class).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Honest Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a result, suspicion falls on everyone and AI image uploaders are seen as dishonest.

  There’s an Among Us joke there that I just can’t find.

  If AI artists are so confident that they are equals, why are they trying so hard to hide it?

  If you know what the Imperium is about, it isn’t surprising for neo-nazis to play out their fantasies that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Droid-ify client, which is an alternative client for F-Droid.

  If you’ve never used F-droid, give it a go: f-droid.org/en/about/. It’s a FOSS package manager for Android and nothing more. All it does is host, install, update, and manage applications. No ads, no sponsored suggestions, no ranking. It has strict submission requirements, only serves FOSS apps, and prominently lists apps’ “anti-features” (tracking, reliance on third-party services, things you may not like).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences German humor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another one from Saxony.

  A man drives his car to the junkyard, looking for replacement parts. He greets the owner and asks:
  “Windshield wiper for a Trabant?”
  The junkyard owner thinks for a moment, then replies:
  “Sure, sounds like a fair deal.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences German humor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the early 80s, American scientists and engineers produced the smallest precision drill bit ever created. With great pride and fanfare, they sent it to their West German colleagues for study and reproduction.

  Just days later, the engineering team received a parcel. In it, a note: “Thank you for letting us test our equipment” and the original drill bit with a hole drilled through its center.

  I’ve never understood this obsession with massive, flashy, expensive birthday parties with hired entertainers and dozens of invitations. Is it an American thing? Do other cultures have this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who live in hot climates, how do you deal with the heat?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just suffer through any mandatory outdoor events (mostly in silence, but sometimes wailing and profanities are included) and limit myself to activities after sunset, I always keep a bottle of water with me, and I have an hourly reminder to drink when I’m on the computer.
