No one should be going to the cinema for a conversation, stop talking at the cinema, were here to watch movies.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 5 days ago:
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with collecting stuff, or even showing it off if there was some effort or challenge in amassing the things (beyond - I threw money at this problem) however these are a collection of hats anyone could get made on AliExpress for $100.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 6 days ago:
I have no issues acknowledging a conventionally attractive guy, I do however seem to have absolutely no notion of what this actually looks like. I know by dint of existing in the 21st century that Brad Pitt, George Clooney etc are considered attractive, but for the life of me I couldn’t take that knowledge and apply it to someone else. I can spot an egregiously “unattractive” dude, but there’s a very broad spectrum of men that just look like “blokes” to me.

- Comment on ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’ 2 weeks ago:
Genuinely curious how you interact with it?
I’ll occasionally amuse myself by making up scenarios with Gemini. And the Google search summary is there - but tbh I mostly find myself ignoring that or seeking confirmation it’s not just made up.
I guess I passively use it quite a bit through Google search.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one not regularly using AI, am I getting old or something?

Ah yeah man, I feel ya. One thing I don’t really get is why there’s a subset of Christianity that wants to be so combative - like all that needs to be said is “well, yes, that’s pretty clever - of course god would do it that way” or “in this we better understand our maker” instead of trying to belittle what is a clearly useful and widely applied modelling tool.

Urgh, as a man, “fewer rights”
- Comment on US education 3 weeks ago:
There’s nothing fundamentally christian about the text in the picture above, it’s just nonsense propaganda. The whole science vs religion thing is frankly bollocks too - science shouldn’t be arguing about religion it’s fundamentally incompatible. OP can believe in a god, believe in an afterlife - science has nothing to say on the subject, it’s not testable, it’s not falsifiable it’s got absolutely nothing to do with science.

No Saturn?

I definitely would if I had the space and time to build it. Too many projects too little time (and space)

They also installed the product incorrectly in a test and shat all over it and the initial response on the controversy from Linus on the forum was pretty terrible.

You’re the only person harping on gender.
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 4 weeks ago:
If you’re offline only, they can’t afaik. In the case of online I’m lead to believe each individual cart is signed with a unique certificate so they can tell if that cart has been used in more than one console. If there’s two instances of the same thing online at the same time it must be pirated.
In terms of reversal - I’ll work from the premise we agree that it’s unacceptable a customer loses access to a device they purchased and own because the company doesn’t like it. But let’s say it happens, how much hassle is it going to be to undo it? The console is bricked so it’s presumably not running/able to go online? Do I need access to a PC to fix it? Do I need to send it off to Nintendo? Go to a game store?
Fwiw I like tinkering with consoles and devices - not necessarily because of piracy, I just like running weird software on them or making them do things they weren’t meant to. It’s not a common use case, but it’s valid enough. Why should Nintendo control that.
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 5 weeks ago:
Which is fine until the piracy detection system has a false positive and you lose your Switch. Or you buy a second hand copy of a game the original owner made a copy of and continues to use and your switch gets bricked. I understand you’re in the EU, but this kind of nonsense would definitely put me off a system that’s already inordinately expensive.

- Comment on Google loses $314 million lawsuit over data transfers when Android phones are idle 1 month ago:
Doesn’t the appellate court only accept the case if there’s an issue with the ruling in a lower court? It’s absolutely loaded, but it’s hard to see an alternative without giving up the right to appeal.

You’d prefer to lose the right to appeal?
