- Comment on Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven 6 days ago:
Josh’s articles seem to be bangers most of the time.
- Comment on Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash 1 week ago:
Isn’t the Wikipedia article usually already the summary of the topic?
If there’s an article with more than 20 references to papers it’s usually already abridged enough.
Just auto-generate videos with AI images and voiceover and add subway surfers gameplay on the side for those who think this slop is needed.

This is super cool. Well done!

Glad it worked out for you!
But it’s definitely one of the deadly sins of selfhosting.

Everyone that thinks self hosting E-Mail is easy, I urge you to run your own mailserver and see how many mails actually reach their targets.
Your mailserver won’t be trusted by anyone, which makes your email always be delivered as spam, if they don’t get blocked outright.
Otherwise this scoring system seems to be quite alright. Even though it could use some more detail and citing some sources for the numbers would be great.

Okay, I agree, but you can’t tell me some server rooms don’t look cool af.

Just wait until you read the raving zebra of my masters thesis.

That’s sad.
If the negative for more speed is errors, then you’re not faster.
- Comment on GRINDSET MINDSET 5 months ago:
Yes, because the hard thing about writing papers is the actual writing.
Jokes aside, of course I can just write whatever, but if I don’t have any actual research to write about, all of those 4000 words I write a day are just filler that will get deleted after someone remotely intelligent reviews it.
Academia is not fun 😂

It’s so christians can eat bees during fasting. duh.
- Comment on Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register 10 months ago:
Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.
If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.

I’ll take my mentally stable wife scrolling Instagram stuff daily over my nutcase ex that I could game with.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 11 months ago:
Seems like we’re in the same boat, haha.
I also have a big backlog, and there are far more interesting options than their stuff.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 11 months ago:
Wasn’t Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?
Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don’t think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.
Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what’s done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I’d choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that’s the mainstream opinion going around.

- Comment on Anon meets his gf's parents 11 months ago:
I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?
If someone did that in Europe they’d be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

- Comment on Burrito 1 year ago:
Hamster are much like lobsters, in that they just keep growing forever until they can’t molt anymore.
If you don’t laser explode hamsters, they would eventually be able to eat humans. Which is quite scary if you think about it.

There’s a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.
Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there’s always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

So stupid. Everyone knows we use bunny eggs for easter.
- Comment on Last Epoch 1.0.3 patch notes include lower stash tab costs and more 1 year ago:
It’s weird. There seem to be a lot of games that offer native Linux clients but they tend to not be maintained that well. Quite a shame really.
