- Comment on Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan 6 days ago:
Of course not. You need other software to rip your music from physical media, or potentially multiple other software to search and download them. You’ll need additional software to host everything over the internet. You’ll probably want a computer to act as a server. You’ll very likely need a private VPN to be able to access it over the network. You’ll need some networking knowledge to set everything up. Hope you’re familiar with docker. And afterwards you’ll have to manage everything yourself once they are up.
Even if you don’t search for new music very often it’s a lot of work. If you care about being able to discover new music then it’s pretty bad. There’s a reason music streaming exploded in popularity so quickly. This shit is not easy or convenient to self-host. At all.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
Nobody’s gonna dispute the necessity of some sort of server somewhere in the mix. But does it need to be something like PSN? A central 3rd party service that most games only use because they’re forced to?
- Comment on I will take no arguments 3 weeks ago:
Wish granted. Now everything comes with those cheap shitty bubble-like buttons that are incomprehensibly stiff and only work if you press at just the right angle with just the right amount of force, and there’s a 50% chance they register twice.

It went through the entire script of Django Unchained to find the most used word.

Complete with a scene where anon jerks it to her while she lays unconscious in the hospital bed, and then he cries about it for 17 minutes.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 1 month ago:
Stellaris. As a hyper-aggressive, warmongering, Rome-obsessed species of lovebirds. All the organic aliens have been turned into GMO livestock and all the machine aliens have been forced into slavery. I bomb the planets into oblivion not because I need to, but because I imagine my pretty birds would enjoy doing it.
- Comment on We need to go back! Back to the terminal! 1 month ago:
Android got people on Linux the same way routers got people on BSD.
And besides the mobile environment should definitely NOT be used as an example for the desktop space. It’s a disgusting mess of strict vendor controls and proprietary crap trying to put heavy limits on what the user can or cannot do with their hardware. Absolutely don’t want that for my PC. I already have a sneaking suspicion that that’s where we’re headed with ARM on desktop, which is a scary thought.
- Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows? 1 month ago:
Yeah exactly. So why make that comment?
- Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows? 1 month ago:
The iPhone is stopping them from doing all that, which you’d know if you’d ever used one. The phone’s filesystem does not appear to the pc as a mountable external volume for you to copy shit in and out of it.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
Javascript is a beautiful language where ‘3’ - 1 = 2 but ‘3’ + 1 = ‘31’.
- Comment on Anon tries smoking for the first time 4 months ago:
Same here. My parents both smoked like chimneys. I tried smoking once. Tasted awful, smelled disgusting, and made my eyes hurt like a motherfucker. Then I tried twice again on different occasions. Same experience. Just an exceedingly nasty thing overall that had not a single thing that made me wanna go back again, so that was it. I consider myself lucky that my body found it so revolting.

OP read about the “fight the biggest baddest dude you can find on your first day” strat online and didn’t stop to think about its applicability.

Have you not read the relevant chapters in The Wealth of Nations?

- Comment on How many squirrels do you think you could take in a fight to the death? 5 months ago:
You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.
Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They’re gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

Correction: she’s 35 Farads.

Yeah obviously made up for fake internet points. There’s no way there was a third toot, it’s just impossible. I don’t buy it.
- Comment on Anon needs help reading a social situation 6 months ago:
You have one brief interaction and then spend the next two eternities pondering what that was, draw all sorts of baseless conclusions without attemptint to ask for any information. I’m very good at it, been so in doing it for 30+ years.
- Comment on Rain on Other Worlds 6 months ago:
There are approximately two metric shit tons of planets. I assume scientists have better things to do with their time than to sit around and think of names to give to every single one of those.
- Comment on NASA Ping 6 months ago:
I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.

Different in what way? Does it regrow as an underdeveloped shadow of its former self?

I pour it into the cowl vents of cars that were parked by assholes, but only when I’m out of eggs to crack in there instead.

It’s the one where the dude brags about being filthy rich and wearing expensive clothes, I think.
- Comment on Youtube is broken, again 7 months ago:
It’s not an issue though, from what you’re describing. People have control over their playlists. If that dude wanted to put that stupid video there, then that’s his prerogative. YouTube can’t “fix” that because a user doing whatever they want with their playlist is not an issue.
- Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ? 7 months ago:
All sounds are short clicks that just repeat rapidly, if you think about it.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 8 months ago:
The sweat thing is important imo. I don’t want to show up to work or school or whatever drenched in sweat. Sometimes it’s too hot outside, or you have to ride against too strong a wind, or the terrain on your route is difficult. Either way you can easily arrive at your destination soaking wet. Unless you have an e-bike, there is no easy or convenient solution for that ç. A very real consideration that most certainly has made me not choose my bike on many occasions.
While we’re on the topic of wet, weather is also an important consideration. Keeping yourself protected against the rain on a bike is not easy.
