  And tbf they’d be correct. Best you can hope for is a laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve opening pre-orders for new hardware⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. Thought they launched something new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We live wasted lives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you’ve specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It’s safe and all, but so so boring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the kind of plastic used in bottles is one of very few that actually are profitable to recycle. PET, I think. This is actually something recycling companies want. Most other plastic is just burned or shipped somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MrBeast scraps AI YouTube thumbnail generator days after announcing it: 'If creators don't want the tools, no worries'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They used to keep that thing ice cold straight through the 90s.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The tusks know where they are because they know where they are not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mantis, watch out!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You didn’t have to write this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would love to block .ml. The stuff coming out of there is just too dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tge principal is not necessarily any smarter than the teachers. Often it’s the opposite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Console war, console war never changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda agree, but the consoles already are alternatives to Windows. Don’t really see what’s super special about the Steam Deck, tbh.

  Surprised Microsoft hasn’t made some sort of DRM to prevent Xbox studio games from being played on Proton, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Om nom nom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s vile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drink deep, my loves. As it ever was and will be, this too shall pass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hydrohominid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try using Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time. Bluesky is a twitter clone and perfect replacement. Mastodon is an excellent micro-blogging platform, but has none of the features people actually liked about twitter. People love recommendation algorithms and quote tweet dunking. That’s the core of what it’s all about. Mastodon is glorified RSS, which is great if you miss those days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you see danger coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so great and so bad at the same time. We’re gonna have to go back to using tar and shit for things we actually want to last. That’s not going to be cheap…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every post in Ye Power Tripping Bastards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Worth noting that the y in “ye” is not actually a y: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles

  Tldr: “Ye” is pronounced identically to “the”. The “th” sound used to have its own letter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨doctors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now we have weight loss drugs, though. Those are apparently unbelievably effective

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please choose one⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racism nas gone too woke!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say that the ruling class loves racism, but when the people are looking for someone to blame they’d understandably rather throw minorities under the bus than lie down themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racism nas gone too woke!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “We can be friends until the revolution. After that it gets difficult.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birds with red eyes are coming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Implying we aren’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel finally notches a GPU win, confirms Arc B580 is selling out after stellar reviews⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All modern motherboards support ReBAR. Not sure why you’d be against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe 3:16⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the moral high ground of Biden vs Trump is still immense, but it’s just a bit less steep than it used to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky under EU scrutiny for missing user data • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear lord⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ye thunk yer clever, huh? What with thum mushrooms and shiet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this like learning that the splash from your toilet bowl sprinkles a bit of water on your toothbrush? Essentially a pure infohazard that makes tour life worse with no benefit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bruh. Our well had a fish living (and dying) in it for a while. The human body can handle some weird stuff.

  Harrier Dubois, is that you?
