I love how these fuckers have a Wikipedia article that’s like: “Yup. Their nickname sums it up. These are fucking motherfuckers that do nothing but look pretty. Do not touch them, do not keep them, they are just mean fuckers.” And they stress that ‘fucker’ part like 4 times.

I really can’t stand spiders except for jumping spiders. They have caused me to become a lot less hostile towards spiders in general

Games and multiplayer have existed before any of this mess, so it is evidently not necessary. If a publisher thinks otherwise, they can’t continue to make multiplayer games. Sucks to be them I guess, I’m sure others will pick up the ball

Multiple approaches have been suggested - from local multiplayer (which can potentially be extended to the internet) over releasing server binaries or source code, to providing documentation that allows to recreate a server.

“80,000 Hours”, because not only does it teach you something about wealth, humanism and fulfilling careers, it also highlights imminent dangers that receive little (scientific/regulatory) attention and points out that everyone can do something without being rich or a genius.

Although I somewhat dislike their frequent measure of ‘impact’ in terms of money, the book puts quite a few things into perspective, and I can accept that you need to quantify things to do so. I particularly like that they encourage you to think about problems from different angles, and them pointing out that you can have a very real impact on the overall wellbeing of any living creature, pretty no matter what you do.

You wish they were like this, but in addition you are supposed to strongly look biologically male / female depending on what’s in your pants and only wear pants / dresses accordingly. Also please behave like they expect to and only like in bed who and what they allow you. And also please share their religion and fuck what science has to say about your sex.

You can run R1 locally, it’s just fucking creepy, because it tries super hard to sound human

I miread the community as ‘Lampy Shitpost’ and am worried about my mental health at this point*

*might be unrelated to this platform

That’s one way to learn lock picking I guess

Platform from a whiny, fascist asshole for whiny, fascist assholes. Not that everyone on that platform is one, some might just have a high tolerance for bs

Maybe the even more important question: Why can you even opt out? Why is this not done on-device, without anything going anywhere to begin with?

I mean, I know the answer, you know the answer, everyone knows the answer. If this was truly privacy preserving, there would be no need to opt out.

Ice coffee (🍨+☕) or iced coffee (🚮)?

I seriously wish there was something better to avoid leftovers. Brushes and whatever this shit is do not seem very sanitary to me, and for sure it’s annoying you have to use them at all. Can’t they do some durable coating and direct the water to hit shit with higher pressure? I feel like there is next to zero innovation in the toilet industry

I won’t go into details, but let’s put it this way: I think what I’m doing will offend french press owners more than a paper filter.

I mean

broadly gestures at everything

I put ground beans in, pour hot water on them and start pressing pretty much immediately. How freakin strong do you need your coffee to wait for 4 whole minutes?

I heavily support not talking about politics 24/7, I heavily discourage not caring at all

The problem is not public arguments, but groups rejecting other groups for ideological reasons. I personally know people who are like “you can be a communist, or you can be wrong”.

The reality is that there are left groups, especially far-left groups, who will already dismiss your opinion on everything for not categorically rejecting a (social) markets economy. Doesn’t matter if you agree in all other points.

You can go for an Intel B580 and an AMD 7700 and have a decent gaming experience for well under 1000 $/€, even ignoring used parts. A Steam Deck is 420€.

It’s not like gaming is unavailable, but everything above low-end has a premium price tag at the moment. What people don’t seem to realise is that this low-end is still on paar with current gen consoles and games still look pretty good without spending 2k+ on a computer.
