It’s not that weird for a space where the vast majority are men, unfortunately

Windows 11 has evolved to a point where it works just really, really well when used on dedicated hardware.
In what reality? Because it’s certainly not the one I exist in
- Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse 4 days ago:
If the fediverse is shedding users, it’s because we still haven’t figured out a better way to explain federation other than “it’s like email”, the process of choosing an instance is vague and daunting, the process of moving to a new instance is vague and daunting, and people instance-police incessantly, creating a feeling that you have to choose the correct instance. That, plus the pervasive misogyny that rears its ugly head every once in a while.
I promise you though, people being “unwelcoming” by using silly terms is not why the fediverse is shedding users.

developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware
Yes, please let this lead to devs focusing on efficiency again. I don’t need real time physics simulations and “lifelike” facial animations that still haven’t found a way out of the uncanny valley after like two decades.
I want snappy load times, download and install sizes in the tens of gigabytes, not hundreds, consistent frame rates even when there’s a lot going on on the screen. I have more VRAM than God, yet I still get stuttering in some games on high graphics settings. It’s pathetic.

Just the other day I watched some luxury SUV sitting dumbfounded in a left turn lane with an ambulance flashing lights and blaring the horn behind it. Oh yeah, the left turn lane was the one that led to the emergency room parking lot. I wish that bike messenger was around then

- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 1 month ago:
I install whatever I want on my Linux desktop without thinking about it, and the file browser is still as fast as it was the day I installed it (really fast). I don’t have to do regular housekeeping to ensure basic functionality remains performant.
If the operating system is architected in such a way that simply installing things (you know, one of the main reasons to have a computer) degrades the performance of basic functionality, that’s a problem with the operating system.

When are you guys gonna come up with new Ohio jokes, these ones were old two decades ago
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 1 month ago:
Something is basic as an operating system’s file browsing program shouldn’t degrade in performance over time, and the solution for that degradation shouldn’t be reinstalling the operating system.

Kinda tough sell to release a $70 game, then leave it up to the modding community to finish it for you

A game can be either great or awful, with no more room for meh games.
I think it’s more just that expectations are much higher for a AAA studio like Bethesda. They built so much hype and asked for nearly $100 at launch for a game that didn’t live up. There’s plenty of meh games out there, they’re just priced accordingly. There’s also a ton of really great games out there priced way lower than what AAA studios are asking. I think it’s very fair to hold those studios to a standard that reflects the prices they’re charging.

Kinda getting into cutting off your nose to spite your face territory though, no? Like, if I take a free tool created by a fascist, then use it to fight against fascism, aren’t I now hurting the fascist’s cause? I fail to see how that’s helping them succeed, at least at being a fascist, which I think we can agree is the more important attribute to care about here.

Wait, which is it? I shouldn’t believe any extraordinary claim without extraordinary proof? Or just the ones that were made during the cold war? You still haven’t given your definition of “extraordinary” either. And how is a layman supposed to obtain “extraordinary proof”? Is “extraordinary proof” different from “external validation”?
What are you actually trying to say here? Because it sounds like you’re tacitly implying that laymen shouldn’t believe scientists, but that would be asinine, so please correct me if I have that wrong.

Is it not an extraordinary claim to say that a giant flaming ball of plasma millions of miles away is responsible for our day/night cycle, seasons, and in a large part, weather?
Is it not an extraordinary claim to say a large, spherical rock hundreds of thousands of miles away is responsible for the tides?
Is it not an extraordinary claim to say we’ve launched astronauts into orbit around the earth, where they’ve lived for months at a time?
Is it not an extraordinary claim to say that all things with mass warp the very fabric of our reality, to the point where large enough masses can bend or even permanently trap light?
Is it not an extraordinary claim to say that light is actually made up of particles that have no mass, but travel at a measurable speed and interact measurably with other particles?
Is it not an extraordinary claim to say that tiny, basically invisible organisms are responsible for a wide variety of ailments and sicknesses that have affected all life on earth for billions of years?
Like seriously, what’s your bar for “extraordinary”, and why does the moon landing meet it?

So are you claiming that it’s irrational for a layman to believe anything they cannot prove themselves?
