That and he sabotaged Jesse Ventura’s attempt to unionize wrestling to get more money for himself. Given how incredibly abusive the company is to its performers, that’s not a small thing.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 week ago:
Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

Hopefully Kitten Space Agency ends up being a true spiritual sequel.

To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don’t have to repeatedly get up to check it. It’s particularly useful for Turkey, because the difference between moist vs horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 weeks ago:
Traeger makes pellet smokers. They have a hopper full of wood pellets and a micro controller that feeds in pellets to maintain a set temperature. You can get ones with a temperature probe to stick in the meat and let you know when it’s done, which is what the Wi-Fi is for.
There’s a legit use case for them because they save a ton of time and effort over smoking the traditional way.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 weeks ago:
It’s great for smoking though. I’ve done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I’ll gladly take the wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
The devs would probably prefer if their work for several years wasn’t thrown in the trash. It’s the publishers and suits killing games.
- Comment on The roses, of course. Ow. 5 weeks ago:
The hand would have an ace pop out of the sleeve. I think the robot did something too.

Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.

Alex Acosta was the prosecutor that gave Epstein a sweetheart deal the first time. Trump rewarded him by making him Secretary of Labor.

You shouldn’t be sleeping soundly. Most of you are only a few steps behind us on the same path.

Or buy a yubikey and set it up as a backup MFA on at least your email and password manager, then keep it in a fireproof safe.

Most business people are too stupid to handle paragraphs with more than 2-3 sentences. I’m not joking and I literally have to write emails like this if I want them read.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 2 months ago:
People keeping old ass industrial equipment alive. I had to buy some CD-Rs because it was the only way to get files off an ancient Win95 machine that had no network or USB ports. The machinery it interacts with costs a million dollars, so replacing it is no small thing.

They do not in any way, shape or form beat borracho beans.

And real gorditas are nothing like the taco bell version. They’re more like an arepa or really thick tortilla split down the middle and stuffed with meat.

Real world resistors usually have a tolerance of ±5%, so you’ll never get anything that precise.

The human brain has a pattern recognition system. It is not just a pattern recognition system.

Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.

They have particularly nimble pelvic muscles.

Just looking at them, they appear fairly similar to nebulas within our own galaxy. It took sophisticated spectroscopic measurements to realize they’re actually much further away.

Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid them all

Not proud of it, but I saw a steroid clit instead.
- Comment on check it before you wreck it 5 months ago:
Call me a downer if you want, but I think scientific papers should be above using clickbait titles. They should be dry, boring and technical so that there’s no doubt that a paper is popular because of its contents and not the personality of its writer.
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 5 months ago:
Valve are the ones that popularized loot boxes. They’re never going to tackle them.
- Comment on It's not easy being cheesy 5 months ago:
Leopard balls apparently are.
- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 5 months ago:
I doubt Epic would give out the number of free games they do if they were public. Investors hate anything that takes more than a quarter to give returns.
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 5 months ago:
Cold calling is the equivalent of barging into someone’s house and yelling “Fuck you and what you’re doing. I’m more important.”
