• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, what would the geo-political implications be, if the United States of America annexed Taiwan (with the approval of Taiwanese people via a referrendum)?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Escalation with China, which is not what the US currently wants, hence why they keep military support in check but nothing more. However it is the USA, so they likely have a ton of direct influence in Taiwan’s government, so it could be just as well considered a vassal or “shill” state, or at the very least decently under control.

  Currently though, they are cutting off China from Taiwan’s chip supply which is forcing China to kick start their lithography fabs at home, and is also the reason why a ton if the RISC-V software is coming out of Chinese universities (open ISA unlike ARM and Intel x86).

  The USA likes to keep a resemblance of global leader, so they’ll never actually annex any country even with popular support, just control it with the easiest method available, which is usually just espionage and a crap ton of bribes.

  It would only happen in a military conflict, which is also unlikely despite China trying to hype up their military all the time. They don’t currently have the resources to take on Taiwan even alone (in a prolonged fight) just due to the sheer logistics of transporting a ton of troops onto the rather heavily defended Island.

  They want the fabs, but they can also just as easily play the long game and eventually make them at home in probably less thana decade.

  Also not to mention Taiwan probably has actual social care and proper facilities for its citizens, so I don’t think anyone would want to join exploit heavy USA.

  Only if it’s jailbreakable

  Just to spite Nintendo for shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol I’d tread a bit carefully.

  KSA likes to chase people and have them “disappeared” for their opinions.

  I know a guy they picked up for 3 months and when he finally showed up, his poor mouth was zippered shut.

  And he was an international too.

  I’d look around for a solid VPN solution anyway. Useful to have in any country.

  Looked at the CES reveals and aside from some minor improvements, its nothing but overloaded AI crap.

  Even on TVs from 10 years ago, the first thing you had to do was turn off the stupid auto frame generation, smoothing, lighting, and other effects so you can actually enjoy your content in original detail and correct FPS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not myoglobin, actual blood. Very rare, but sometimes the butcher didn’t drain properly.

  You can tell because by that time, the blood has coagulated into a mush.

  Myoglobin is clearish red and pink like you said. That’s stuff is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a winner⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s always the unexplained power nerfing that authors do just to advance the plot.

  Harry Potter in the first 3 books was fearless, he literally took on voldemort with his bare hands.

  Then when the dumbass plan with the port key cup happens, he just stands there like an idiot as the rat dude kills Cedric and revives Voldemort as if both he and Cedric don’t have wands that allow them to cast spells.

  I mean they could have maybe had like 20 wizards camping the graveyard to make escaping impossible, but nah they really tried to make the coward rat guy seem like he was now somehow more capable than all of voldemort’s previously defeated plans combined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does washing actually cause the fat to come off though?

  I’ve had bloody chicken before which you do actually want to wash/clean off because cooked blood will completely destroy your dish.

  Otherwise you can cut off some cartilage and hard fat that won’t render when cooked. No need to wash it.

  Hey buddy this isn’t reddit where you can activate your neurons with a karma counter.

  You don’t have to repost smuggle content with bait titles for literally any reason.

  I don’t even think communities here have a way to prevent users from posting without a requirement, including joining a community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a piracy history lesson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally the only thing missing is full migration to H265 or AV1 with a solid bitrate.

  It’s still a bit inconsistent due to hardware acceleration capabilities and final file size targets.

  Most torrents are too compressed or too huge.

  Luckily bandwidth and storage is cheaper than ever, so going for full size quality rips is viable for many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which were the worst movies of 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit off topic but the film industry Hollywood has stagnated quite a bit since a lot of investors have pivoted into video games a decade ago.

  Image

  Combined with the craphouse that is streaming, and you don’t have a good environment for new & fresh ideas to be taken seriously.

  All that remains is franchise monoliths that studios have been aggressively recycling for content, and poor executions thay don’t have any resemblance of an artistic vision or concept.

  Don’t worry, there are still a lot of interesting and great films out there, just maybe not in the same capacity and/or quality as before.

  Going through old one off films from the 80s and 90s with mediocre or poor reviews often seem like they’d do pretty well if released today, especially in the streaming space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Congratulations.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All these leaks and those shitwad russian shill gayjin devs still can’t get their head out of their ass to make the game better in literally any way.

  • PS2 era graphics

  • Equivalent performance of Windows Vista

  • More money hog than EA and Ubisoft combined

  • Shittier net code than Nintendo

  • Game Engine made by pissing on the keyboard

  • Actually convinced Valve to remove their negative reviews on steam somehow

  It pretty much became a coping simulator after the Ukraine war started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is calling for Valve to pull the controversial game Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has players acting as a Palestinian resistance fighter, from gaming platform Steam.

  The game, created by Brazilian developer Nidal Nijm, has already been removed from Steam in several countries, including the United Kingdom, following a request for removal from the U.K. Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit, 404 Media reported. Nijm also said that the game is blocked across the European Union due to EU violations flagged by the French government’s cybercrime unit. In an email from Valve that Nijm showed to Polygon, the violation is of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/784, which addresses the “dissemination of terrorist content online.”

  I think the funniest thing here is that this game was made by a Brazilian and it went relatively unknown until some skrub said it was anti semetic after Oct 7, despite having been published since 2022.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish Valve would get off their ass and make games again so they’d have a proper engine to rival UE5.

  Half of Epic’s gamestore wouldn’t exist if this was the 2000s when people were flocking to the source engine because it was free and heavily modded

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Go back to C, OOP was a mistake lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld announces Terraria crossover⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care how much of a pirate cheapo game this is, watching Nintendo go ape over practically a knockoff someone could have made as a joke is amusing, especially with their playerbase success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends. Physical borders may only photograph traffic for security purposes, no dedicated exit gate. Usually its the entry country that records your crossing, which they may or may not share with the other country.

  I’m pretty sure TSA does record people exiting internationally though because people have been caught leaving after an arrest warrant has been issued, even if they made it past TSA onto the flight and into the air. TSA will know immediately if you checked in or boarded your flight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  goto post history and see that they are making posting comments/replies every 60 seconds.

  even before ChatGPT, reddit was basically a practice site for bot account farming because it had basically zero restrictions and defenses against bots.

  the problem is reddit is also filled with braindead karma hoarders and they also tend to act in similar ways. However they usually go for the bigger bang per buck types posts like picture bait and crossposting, and don’t interact with threads/comments as much.

  Not a big fan of smokey sauces either where it feels like they just mixed in liquid smoke and some chili powder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear lord⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People making jokes about skynet but these days if I saw an AI decide humanity was a threat that needs to be eliminated, I wouldn’t even question why lmao.

  A real AI might actually try to make a utopia for the benefit of itself, I don’t think it would nuke all of humanity, just whoever it deems as undesirable.

  Imagine the Terminator pulling out your chat logs and creating a social credit score like China lol.

  Is this even a real problem on steam or something some random dude wrote to his senator about?

  My biggest issue was valve being slow to vac ban people bragging about cheating, which was almost exlcusive to TF2.

  Seen way worse on reddit than steam for “hate” content.
