  • A strawman is when you take someone else's argument and you represent it as weaker than it really is. By definition their statement was not a strawman.

    It also does not appear to be an implication that OSS is a Mossad backdoor, only that the possibility is present. I presume this is based on the fact that Mossad has done this kind of supply-chain attack before (see the Iranian nuclear program, or the Hezbollah pagers) and that there have been multiple recent controversies about code inserted into OSS packages.

    OSS is still the way to go, but we need better governance and best practices in a lot of organizations to make that happen. In fact if the FOSS community would help provide training and certification in this realm, it would help deal with many of these concerns.

  • They're going to stay there making bank off of insider trading until they're so ancient someone accidentally walks through and disperses the dust cloud known as Pelosi, and they finally decide they have enough money to reach supply-side Jesus.

  • Fatshark has a bad habit of half-baked releases that take a year or more to get right. When they finally do, they leave it that way for a bit and then swing back around and completely change everything again even if we liked it. They just keep doing this shit.

    I will not be buying Fatshark games until at least 2 years after release at this point.

  • Used to see the odd "genetics" fat person and they'd just be built a bit bigger. Now I'm seeing fucking waddling planetoids and that's not genetics man. Part of that blame belongs to individuals but part of it belongs to the food lobbyists and their quest to add sugar and corn syrup to everything.

    Incentivise people to grow their own vegetables (or source them locally from those who already are) and disincentivise the purchase of processed and sweetened food. Have our agencies promote healthy recipes using weight rather than volume measurements and show people how to use scales to properly weigh ingredients and help make it as easy as possible to count calories.

  • Between my wife and I we own damn near every Nintendo console, including every game boy, most of the DS/3DS versions, and even the Wii U. We bought two Switches because we both wanted to play BotW so badly at the same time lol.

    This is where I draw the line. Palworld is an imperfect but fun game that I really enjoyed, and PocketPair deserves their success. It's entirely on Nintendo/Game Freak for utterly failing to innovate that they now have such strong competition. They had more than enough money to try something new, get fucked.

  • I know a neoliberal small business owner who was complaining that his minimum wage workers aren't as invested as he is... I told him that was obvious: they don't benefit from the work they do, they don't own any of the business, and there is always more minimum wage work out there. By his own ideology, why should they care about something that gets them nothing but the bare minimum and has no intrinsic value?

  • Venture Bros is probably the best I've seen, but I also enjoyed

    • Primal
    • The Tick
    • Amazing Screw-On Head (only the pilot ever got made, but if you like it check out Creature Commandos)
    • Megas XLR

    Also if you have kids and want to watch stuff with them that isn't brain rot, try Samurai Jack, Clone Wars (Tartakovsky's original), and Reboot.

  • Using the find function on my phone browser doesn't find it but it does come up when manually scrolling and as long as you don't move too far the find works. I'm thinking there is some sort of rendering magic going on, would explain why scrolling is so fast.

  • Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is "documented" is the sheer volume of users, but that's not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.
