Disagree hard. Diet and Zero are sweeter than full fat coke. It comes out more with alcohol.

I wouldn’t call it an appliance, but I almost always use cast iron for beef.

So. Many. Choices. Not sure I can pick one.

Damn, you’d really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?

Tbh, I’m super into this. Especially if the range could be extended slightly or if the truck is somewhat hackable.

But then… Bezos. Ugh.

Probably never masturbate again

I’ve actually seen some pushback on this in conservative comments – but also a huge number saying things like “he’s trolling”.

The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely maddening.

Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don’t release it there.

This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.

But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.

Corporate interests and “web 2.0” have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.

It’s the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I’m 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.

(I disagree with this, and Stern is also a shit person)

But about Rogan “playing centrist”: this is always the way. Convince people you’re just as lost as they are, while objectively not being so based on your podcast deals and metrics. Then slowly shift based on your actual positions.

You get both a) more people following in the first place, and b) an excuse to point to when you get called out for being yet another fascist.

On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.

Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn’t need to sign up for anything else.

Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won’t be able to say “follow our Discord for updates!” anymore.

I mean, I’ve heard most all of the stuff about “illegals, trans, and DEI” from the Republicans in power.

He really should update his talking points. I’m sure they must have a new set by now.

He seems pretty short for a messiah

Seppuku is a task

Some of the generation wars are heavily interrelated with the class war: like generational wealth. There is actual overlap sometimes, even though I otherwise mostly agree with this point.

I said it matters: “the difference is obvious”.

But for me, it does not justify the cost difference at the current time.

It does matter. But all my big displays are still LCD, because of cost.

It’s about blackpoint. With an LED, pixels which are black still have a backlight. This makes them a kind of grey.

With OLED, the pixels themselves emit light. This means that black pixels are unlit.

The difference is obvious in a dimly lit room looking at dark content.

That said, while I would love OLEDs all around, they’re expensive. I’m willing to give up having true blacks for the cost difference. It may be different as costs on OLED come down.

I do have an OLED phone, because Samsung is pumping out OLEDs on everything.
