  Interesting. I didn’t know that about deleting comments. The web client on my instance has a delete button, but is there some kind of issue with that change not necessarily propagating to other instances?

  It doesn’t bother me much personally since you never really can be sure that you deleted something from the internet. Even if reddit deletes a comment, you can possibly find it on an archive somewhere. Anything you toss onto the web should be something you’re comfortable with the world knowing.

  They’re going to be in for a rude awakening when horses start eating people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue is that some day someone may have to work on your home, even if it’s just getting demolished decades or more from now. I don’t know how difficult it is to work with if you know that it’s there in advance.

  Too late. Now you have to install FreeBSD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t try to install Arch after midnight.

  In Benjamin Franklin’s experiments, he came up with the convention that we use today to define a “positive” charge. As it turns out, electrons, discovered much later, are negatively charged according to the convention. Lots of chemical and physical reactions involve electrons as charge carriers, so lots of physical phenomena have this weird opposite thing going on. E.g. electric current or “conventional current” flows in the opposite direction of electron current. Chemical reactions are also weird. Reduction reactions involve a reduction in electric charge, but gaining an electron. The model works just fine, but it can be tricky and/or annoying at times.

  I want a balloon full of uranium hexafluoride.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But the steam network is still around. When steam actually shuts down and no longer has the infrastructure to provide downloads for games, I have no idea what their plan is. They hypothetically could provide a way to remove the DRM, but I doubt that it’s something the publishers of games would allow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's coming! :(⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  M-x eww

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon applies for a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That could be what happened. Greentext is just a bunch of stories. If you really think about it, it’s just as likely that this is entirely made up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s a skill issue, but this game was Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 for me. I think I played it on the second easiest difficulty. On higher difficulties, the enemies move much faster and do more damage, and you start to realize how inaccurate the guns are. On top of that, the weapons are projectile weapons, so you’re aiming inaccurate and slow projectiles at stormtroopers shuffling left and right rapidly. I think it’s much more fun to just play on the first or second difficulty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The Iron Giant" was released 25 years ago on this day.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched it so many times as a kid. I didn’t appreciate how unique it was at the time, but I still loved it. Great movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Somehow I had a way harder time with Elden Ring than Dark Souls 1 or 2, but difficulty is a bit subjective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m suing you for cheating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie lays off 220 people, will set up spin-off studio⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it would be easier for indie devs to keep cost down. They have fewer devs and artists on payroll. The issue with triple A games is that they’re super expensive to produce, and small teams can output excellent work as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we put up with this crap?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes so much longer though. I don’t think I’d prefer the travel time of a ship over the sea over the temporary discomfort of a flight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, but Vangers is a game that uses voxels AFAIK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global IT outage: Airlines, businesses affected by CrowdStrike, Microsoft issues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not every enterprise runs crowdstrike, so it’s not Microsoft’s fault. I was having trouble finding out what happened because our computers were working normally, lol. The XKCD comic tipped me off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post a prompt, have an art from this insane russian⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Small fandoms? Engineer from Risk of Rain 2 kneeling down and petting a turret like it’s a cat. If you feel up to it, they have bustling fungus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue with that logic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True. We need to ask that person how long a wave needs to last before it becomes a water mountain. I’ll tentatively say a year?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue with that logic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Temporary water mountains don’t count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton announces Docs in Proton Drive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m tempted to give this a try. I already am really happy with my VPN and password manager, but it looks like you can subscribe to mail/calendar for a reasonable price. If I did that and drive, I’d rely on Google a lot less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Air Friar⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the acceleration may be an issue too. It’s hard enough to do when you’re still, but it may be harder when you’re plummeting and trying to slow down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a non-binary person uses a computer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the other 9.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ironing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I work the staff still wear full suits for the most part. I think it’s a more traditional workplace though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ironing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Iron sympathizers will be dealt with harshly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy in the comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is more sigma? This guy or Patrick Bateman⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  About one standard deviation away from the mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is like when the internet discovered that vim soap.
