• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a universal axiom that any question starting with “Will Trump ever face consequences for…” can be answered with “no”.

  If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.

  Yes. A very large part of what made the holocaust so terrible was that it was very effective at killing people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.

  The point of the post isn’t to praise the pagers attack. It’s to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, what other type of controller would you buy on PC if you’re looking to buy a game controller? Unless you’re not including 3rd party controllers as “console controllers”. Afaik, the xbox pro controller is still considered the best controller to use on PC, and while it is made by Microsoft, it’s not a controller that comes with the console.

  The PC controller market just isn’t large enough to support pc-only controllers. Of course the recommendation is to always buy a console controller, pc controllers don’t exist! 😂

  Yes, I know some games have their own controller type like flight sticks, game pads, and OSU, but nobody is seriously using those for rocket league and elden ring.

  What good does altering Harris’s position do if she doesn’t win?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL the Steam launcher is literally just a web browser. It’d be Electron if it were built today, but it was built before Electron existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! Ever since the start of the Epic Store, I’ve always thought this whole “exclusive” scandal was blown out of proportion. There is a MASSIVE difference between a game being exclusive to a $400+ console vs to a free launcher that you can install in 5 minutes and add your already multi-launcher platform.

  Chipotle failed to unionize and I bet short term profits are up.

  And for a free trial, no less! If this isn’t laughed out of the courtroom and dismissed with prejudice, we’re all screwed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s ex-CEO blames remote working on the company’s AI woes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google decided that work-life balance was more important than winning

  Yes. Work-life balance is quite literally the most important aspect of any job, arguably second only to pay. If an employer doesn’t agree, then they’re not my employer.

  Sorry, you psychopathic oligarch fuck, but people have better things to do than work themselves to death to buy you a 54th yacht. Maybe try moving to an apartheid state if that’s what you want. It worked for the Musks.

  I bought Slice & Dice after reading this comment and others in this thread and yeah, it’s pretty great. Thanks for the recommendation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Converting devices to USB Type-C⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But… that is a dongle? He also mentions them in the video.

  Regardless, the idea that re-soldering a new usb header on your devices is somehow better/easier than just using a dongle like that is kind of absurd. Still a fun proof of concept, though.

  Email templates are ubiquitous and can easily insert names and any other variable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the real reason was that RCS was finally kicking off, but Google wasn’t exposing an RCS api to normal apps. Signal never said that was the reason, but it was the only thing that made sense at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The mobile games industry was killed by ports and low-effort cash grabs. Seems like nobody makes good games that are specifically designed for mobile anymore, and almost all ports suffer from poor controls and/or just not being as good as the original versions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta plug one of my favorite mobile game studios: Afterburn. They only have 3 puzzle games. All are relatively short and 100%-able. Every single one is fun and full of heart. Golf Peaks, Inbento (bought by Crunchyroll), and Railbound.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world we live in. I'm sure we will see someone bragging on the dark web⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more cynical, I think it’s just for clout and marketing. IA is widely known and used, so an attack is guaranteed to be noticed and generate news articles. They’re also known for having large robust infrastructure, but they aren’t large enough that an attack is impossible, so a successful attack is impressive yet still feasible. If someone can pull it off, it would make great marketing for their black market DDOS service and also grant huge bragging rights in certain communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best Buy Membership "discount"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, that protection plan is $1.49. The real sin here is having the “Original Price” not be an obvious order total.

  We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ
