No Squirrelly Dan love apparently. The downvotes suggest people didn't get the Letterkenny reference.

It's unfathomably stupid that Samsung removed it for the Flip series, but I suspect it was a cost cutting measure.

No support for the Z Flip series. Lame. Still would be useful to use as a desktop monitor or something.

If Game Maker ends up releasing their Linux IDE in a non-beta state, I'll switch to Linux tomorrow. It's one of the few tools still keeping me on Windows.

Google search results are literally the only time I read Reddit content these days, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard. They're going to lose so many views if they block their content on Google.

Make 4K textures a separate download, via a free DLC. That way if people only ever play in 1080p, they don't need to waste disk space on files that will never get used.

And we’re a drop in the bucket compared to the Reddit userbase. A rounding error. Some impact we made.

I thought that too. And then nothing happened when Reddit killed third party apps. The Reddit userbase will continue to bend and spread. As long as Spez spits on it first, they’ll continue to take it.

K.

Their greed made me put on my eye patch years ago. And since then I’ve only convinced more to do the same.

Screw these greedy bastards.

Bedbug is frankly a misnomer. They will go anywhere people are inactive for periods of time - beds, couches, chairs, benches… any and all furniture.

Oh, and vehicles. You can get them from an Uber, a taxi, or a bus too.

Instead of deep throating a shotgun people are getting an injection and going to sleep and never waking up. Get rid of MAID and there will just be more suicides by other means.

MAID isn’t the problem. People being trapped in our shit economy with no way out is the problem.

Full.

Not in a position to say. But I can say that, anecdotally, they’re always high on searches and contribute very little.

I mean it’s Exputer, do they even have human writers?

Let’s say you buy an Xbox Series S. At the current going rate of games, you can fit four, maybe five games on the thing, assuming you don’t play older or indie titles. You can buy an external USB hard drive, sure, but you can’t play games off it. You’d have to awkwardly shuffle games around any time you wanted to play something else. Wanna expand it with storage that can actually be played off of? You need to pay the same cost as the console for proprietary storage.

It’s different on PC and PS5 since you can upgrade storage relatively easily but even then, a 1TB NVMe disk can hold a maximum of 10 games at today’s storage requirements. Want something bigger? Get ready to shell out some serious cash.

Storage has not kept up with file size. And to be fair, 4k HDR Remux files are just as bad. You can’t tell me the average person can even tell the difference from a 1080p WebRip (a fraction of the size) and one of them. Not unless you’ve got the high end hardware to make use of it, and I highly doubt the average person is shelling out the $5000+ required for that to be a thing.

Nope! The reason you need a VPN for torrents is because you’re also sharing the content. That’s how you’re tracked, mainly. Someone downloads a piece of your Linux ISO, they know you’ve got it.

Use SSL with Usenet and your traffic is encrypted. Good to go.

Why not both?

I didn't decide to pirate when games went from $70 to $80 (CAD). I didn't decide to when they went from $80 to $90. I decided to when, on top of that price, I also am encouraged via predatory tactics (such as matchmaking intentionally matching you up with players who have all of this nonsense so you can "see what you're missing") to buy a deluxe edition, season pass, monthly battlepass, "cosmetic only" microtransactions, second season pass, additional DLC not part of any season pass, and whatever other crap they want to nickel and dime their playerbase into buying. All just to actually get the full content of the game. Remember when games had the full game when you bought it? Maybe an expansion pack that had a substantial amount of content that was developed and released after the game was released?

I mean, yes but also no. There's just way too many people, period. Merely 60 years ago the human population was sitting around 3 billion people. Now it's 8. Earth's resources are finite, and at this rate of growth I would not be surprised if we ran out of non-renewables (with no renewable alternatives that scale as well as non-renewables) in our lifetime or our children's.
