- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 5 days ago:
Shiiit … I’m juet over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieve to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.
That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?
Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article …
- Comment on Anon is a specific type of prepper 5 days ago:
I convert gifs where the conversion results in saved space and there’s no noticable degredation in the content. This isn’t most gifs, but I’ve encouotered more than enough to make this worthwhile, to me.
By and large, those who have bothered to convert videos to gifs don’t seem to have considered any sort of size vs quality notion; Its done moreso because whatever forum/site they uploaded to would embed gifs and not video files. Gif is efficient enough that this usually doesn’t matter, but sometimes…
- Comment on Anon is a specific type of prepper 1 week ago:
Every time I consider that my near-a-terrabyte may be a little excessive, I’ll remember anon.
Then again, I keep videos to 720P or less, and convert gifs to video, so if anon’s an HD and/or 3D/Vr maniac, I could easilly have more than them, measured in playback time.
- Comment on Mexico’s first homegrown EV faces a bumpy road 1 week ago:
Of course the first “expert opinion” quote is from a Tesla employee. Otoh, it seems obvious the timeline is too ambitious, but the “starting from zero” line seems like bullshit as well, considering how much auto manufacturing already takes place in Mexico.
- Comment on Sounds logical to me 1 week ago:
Glad I slogged through that until I got to the pun. Nice work!
- Comment on What lives in the DEEP OPEN OCEAN? 2 weeks ago:
I had forgotten I could despise a person based on the combination of their voice and manner of speaking so much. The dread-locks on a white person doesn’t help.
Yes, I know I’m just spoiled by having my tastes catered to in every form of social media, but at the same time, Neil Degrasse Tyson in drag would be more enjoyable to watch, on this topic or any other.
- Comment on Anon doesn't hold back 3 weeks ago:
I had a few girls who weren’t cool with me being able to shut-down my romantic interest the moment we had that conversation. We weren’t friends.
Most insisted later I missed my chance to try being more assertive, but none liked learning their “crush”-perks weren’t ever exclusive or crush-related; The crush just meant I hadn’t let them see me treat others similarly.
- Comment on Anon doesn't hold back 3 weeks ago:
Didn’t work to me. I played with the most awkward weapons I could manage anyways, and if there’s one thing I sucked at, it was putting myself in the blast-radius of my own grenades and such. Just knowing how to strafe and melee was OP 30 years ago.
- Comment on Anon doesn't hold back 3 weeks ago:
I’m both in this picture and the “older sports jock”(compared to some friends… no sportsball for me, just fit).
I saw myself as a ticking-timebomb/life-ruiner, so … okay, okay, lotsa regrets. I was wrong and missed so many opportunities to be at least slightly less alone.
- Comment on Anon investigates a random goth girl 4 weeks ago:
I mean, I said “if not … enthusiasm” because the only evidence of enthusiasm I’ve seen is the reported volume of her content. The link I followed from a comment here was lacking in quantity, and her pics exuded apathy.
- Comment on Anon investigates a random goth girl 4 weeks ago:
Not without a sob-story from the girl. Doubt she did it for the money. Someone with the time and commitment to doing this(if not energy or enthusiam) she demonstrated would make better money doing just about anything else.
- Comment on Anon investigates a random goth girl 4 weeks ago:
There’s a whole … sliver of us!
- Comment on Anon investigates a random goth girl 4 weeks ago:
They exist, and they would terrify you. Yes, even the attractive ones. Especially the attractive ones.
- Comment on gigadee 4 weeks ago:
Too much of things recently learned about my mom.
- Comment on gigadee 4 weeks ago:
This is the least attracted to loose women I’ve ever been. I hate you, OP.
- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 2 months ago:
The userbase and lack of content curation/moderation has everything to do with that. The Chinese version gets a whallop of censorship as well, but yeah, their motivation to help other countries educate the young or avoid brain-rot is well in the negatives.
- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 2 months ago:
I mean, if TikTok US were more like TikTok China, with emphasis on educational content, there would never have been a problem.
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 2 months ago:
Sure, but we’re talking plurals of strangers atm. “Please don’t call me a guy going forward” is a different conversation than “what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong”.
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 2 months ago:
“Do you think I’m attractive?” Either way, need a new therapist, but there are all sorts of possibilities beyond them maybe being rude and demeaning to OP.
- Comment on Anon's strict mom 2 months ago:
MOVE OUT
Even sweatshop workers, prisoners, and the slaves who built the World Cup stadium in Qatar were/are alowed to relieve themselves. Homeless people have some option, it seems. There is no reason for OOP to unwillingly put up with this, even with crippling NEET tendencies.
- Comment on Survey participants are turning to AI, putting results into question 3 months ago:
On-line surveys have always had this problem with bots and people with agendas. Its sad and comical they are pretending this is something new.
- Comment on Hackers breach Andrew Tate's online university, leak data on 800,000 users 4 months ago:
That 800k number is the saddest I’ve felt since the morning of the 5th. Wtf?
- Comment on It's insidious 4 months ago:
What about my comment implied I didn’t realize that? Anyways, Raktajino was also consumed a lot on Voyager. Its strange that Quark focused on Root Beer in light of all the other stuff people drink, other than, hey, this is the only carbonated thing they drink that’s not caffinated or alcoholic … but that wouldn’t be true either?
He did say “Starfleet” drink a lot of it, not “humans”, so maybe it is just that pupular with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites, etc.
- Comment on It's insidious 4 months ago:
I’m still smarting from the betrayal that is Diet Barq’s
- Comment on It's insidious 4 months ago:
I still refuse to believe Starfleet’s go-to drink is caffeine-free.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 months ago:
You have NO idea how right you are.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 months ago:
Anon’s gender is unspecified and their profile pic is masculine, but I’ll take your word for the gay part…
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 months ago:
Could be. The obliviousness is far more disappointing though. She might have liked OP better than her boyfriend in the end. At a minimum “I (knowing/unknowingly)turned down a threesome” is lot less pathetic than what we got.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 months ago:
Again, I don’t care what they are or are not missing out on. I care what they ruin for others, intentionally or otherwise. I’m sad for the rest of us that these sad-sacks are so certain of their majority and righteousness.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 months ago:
Oh no, there’s so much more to be sorry for those people for besides just what they miss out on. I’m actually more prone to being sorry they are so vocal about it.
