that’s what i mean, i don’t get that criticism. what can’t you do with windows? what specifically are they asking to do?
- Comment on How I'd fix Windows as a retired Windows Engineer 6 days ago:
i don’t understand the analogy, what is that actually referring to?

what a weird business for a pop star to get into. kinda sounds like a buddy of his went to him with a fire business plan and let him run with it.

not very useful for cleaning up my kitchen

how does it know what is sharp and what isn’t? lots of things can be accidentally or unexpectedly sharp

honestly i think you’re just spewing bullshit. just because apple markets a product with style does not mean its customers are dumb or don’t know what a gigabyte is.

you’re gonna have to elaborate what you mean by “consumers” and “users”.

- Comment on How to Make Movie Theater Popcorn At Home: The LAST Popcorn Video You'll EVER Need! 3 weeks ago:
i do pretty much the same except i like using two nested stainless steel bowls for the popping. one inverted as a lid. the bowl funnels the unpopped kernels to the middle where the burner is, and after popping you can use the two bowls to serve.

- Comment on Formula 1 capitalism 3 weeks ago:
I was an F1 fan for a long time and finally stopped a couple years ago. a LOT can be said about how it sportwashes petroleum and theocratic dictatorships, but that is barely mentioned at all in this video. Instead it’s about 10 minutes of word salad focusing mostly on F1’s excess which is a very superficial critique of the sport. Most of the points he brings up can be applied to just about any form of entertainment.

I’ve been playing cluesbysam.com a lot recently. It’s a daily logic puzzle, so not really story-driven, but it is 100% text based.

makes me think it’s inevitable that they reverse their position on console exclusive games.

given how terrible it has gone for ea over the past 15+ years maybe this is a good thing.

- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 1 month ago:
why are we comparing a game 5 years ago to one released today? hardware is much more capable now.
- Comment on Why is Physical Media Back? 1 month ago:
i get it, but it takes up so much room. I had thousands of CDs. Maybe over 9,000. But I live in a townhouse and there just isn’t room to keep all that shit, especially if you want to do the same thing for other media like blu rays, games, vinyl or whatever else.
Personally, i find other ways to enjoy music and movies in a physical/visual form like prints, posters, and apparel.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
Instead of making suicide harder, we should be treating the root cause of suicide
Or… both?
If people get hurt due to gun accidents, I highly doubt they’d be happy if we took their guns away, since that’s like solving traffic deaths by banning cars.
it’s not even remotely the same thing since cars’ primary purpose is not killing.
Suicides and gun accidents are certainly interesting statistics, but mixing them with homicides just makes it harder to see what’s going on and arrive at effective solutions.
it doesn’t really. what does make it harder to arrive at effective solutions is making any excuse possible to avoid gun control.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
why should we exclude suicides and accidents?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
the comment wasn’t about fox news specifically, it was about news in general. like it or not, we need news agencies to cover what these people are doing.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
It’s straight disinformation. Nevermind that everyone else plays the same games, let’s cherry pick the one western nation that has a comparable number of guns per capita and not think about that any further.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
Because they control the country and people should know what they are doing. It’s not that complicated.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
is the news supposed to NOT cover what the government is doing?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 2 months ago:
this is so obviously false it’s enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.
- Comment on If you miss old network multiplayer games, or would like to try them with your friends for the first time, may I suggest setting them up via SoftEtherVPN? 2 months ago:
i don’t think tailscale will fork for this since it’s L3 and old lan games typically work on L2. Zerotier is a similar service that is L2 and should work.

if you run into issues with softether, zerotier might offer a more streamlined experience.

they are related and compound each other. it’s harder to “git gud” if you have to do a bunch of runbacks too.
