Wears skull and crossbones belt buckle.
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 3 days ago:
Just to be slightly clearer (unless it’s changed since Brexit) those 28 days may or may not include public holidays at the company’s discretion.
- Comment on Add it to the pile of reasons to hate 'em 3 days ago:
I mean we hate on the french, but it’s mostly good natured ribbing. Also wasn’t most of the french imposed on us post invasion rather than stealing?

Why doesn’t the journalist ask “in what way does this impact your freedom of religion” and then stand there while they tie themselves in knots trying to answer the question.

Or “triplets”
- Comment on Petrol bombs thrown at police during fifth night of Northern Ireland disorder 1 week ago:
Just stop oil protestors are a lot easier to round up to be fair, generally being quite peaceful and significantly less likely to throw petrol bombs.

I like this perspective, it makes me think some anxious drivers are just more aware of how bad they are. I doubt they’re much worse (and probably better) than the average new driver, but the lack of awareness in the average new driver probably covers the anxiety.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’d say don’t leave it a long time, even if it’s just pootling round an empty parking lot, even pretty confident experienced drivers feel anxiety after a crash, you’re just not quite sure of yourself for a bit. Putting it off is just going to make it harder.
(Also absolutely they don’t need to drive, but it’s a hella useful skill - some confidence building lessons with a pro would probably help)

I swear rioting season starts earlier and earlier every year. Shops will have half bricks on sale as soon as Easter is over soon.

Probably for the best, they defeated the Australian army in the 1932 Emu war.

Yeah, that seagull sure as hell found out.

- Comment on ChatGPT used to disable SecureBoot in locked-down device – modded BIOS reflash facilitated fresh Windows and Linux installs 2 weeks ago:
Fair, I’m kinda wondering about having a general local household ai, I’ve got no good reason for it other than general tinkering. I’m somewhat waiting for the crossover between decent ai and affordable hardware to occur.

Out of curiosity, what’s your use case and spec of the machine running it?

- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
It depends, once I got like 20 upvotes and it was amazing to think them at 70% of Lemmy users read and agreed with my post!

So ehhh, I’m thinking of starting a submarine company, do you want to be in sales and marketing?
- Comment on I feel attacked 3 weeks ago:
I feel like a midlife crisis is supposed to be a significant deviation/extreme deviation where you panic for lost youth and run out and buy something silly you wouldn’t normally get and start running marathons.
- Comment on I feel attacked 3 weeks ago:
These are just hobbies.
- Comment on I feel attacked 3 weeks ago:
I did this as a hobby anyway, but I just can’t find the time.
- Comment on NVIDIA stable driver 575.57.08 released for Linux 3 weeks ago:
Does it include all the drivers this time? I didn’t appreciate installing it the last time (well, tbh I never do cause fuck knows how I installed it the last time but none of the methods are compatible) but having everything break because the drivers were borked didn’t help at all.

- Comment on Grieve with me 4 weeks ago:
Have you tried cleaning the port out, mostly it’s crap built up in the port.
- Comment on Grieve with me 4 weeks ago:
Don’t do this, just clean it out gently with a small scraper.
- Comment on Punctuation 4 weeks ago:
Believe it or not, VISA and MasterCard are effectively the arbiters of mortality on the internet. They act as payment processors for most porn sites, if your site shows acts or imagery that they believe is “too far” they’ll remove your ability to accept money so sites keep content on the right side of what payment processors find acceptable.
Season 1 of the Hot Money podcast goes into a lot more detail and is a really interesting listen.
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 5 weeks ago:
Has this not been the state of the games industry for the most of time? Small bedroom coders get a break, build a studio, fire out some games, get bought out of grow huge. The founders move on and start a new studio, rinse, repeat. The games industry has always appeared pretty democratic in that specific regard, barrier to entry is pretty low compared to most other industries.
As for the over performance of older games, have they noticed they get cheaper and less shit than on launch?
