Thank you to AOL for not making me buy a floppy disk until I didn’t need them anymore.
- Comment on White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite that Collects Climate Data 2 weeks ago:
Unless you’re gonna shoot him yourself there’s not much we can do about this. They don’t care about protests. They don’t care about letters to Congress. You can’t negotiate with them.
We’re a stupid country who deserves this.
- Comment on White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite that Collects Climate Data 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention that the money spent isn’t being shot into space. It’s paying for very smart folks to spend in their local communities doing helpful work.
Do you want people with knowledge of orbital mechanics and operating spacecraft on the open job market? Who do you think will employ them?
- Comment on Atlassian terminates 150 staff with pre-recorded video, AI customer contact solutions rolled out 2 weeks ago:
Like any new technology, it will feel awkward to start [using AI for everything], but every business person, every business leader, every government leader, and every bureaucrat should be using it.
Yeah that’s not creepy at all.
Can I get a gif of that cone game that brainwashed the crew of the Enterprise D?

- Comment on I found an interesting USB-C alternative to barrel jack wall warts. Thought I'd share... 3 months ago:
My dad has had a wall wart that does this since the 80s. Goes from 1.5 to 9 volts and even lets you adjust barrel polarity.
I broke so many electronics with that thing…
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 4 months ago:
They’re probably going to be used in medical devices like pacemakers. So they’ll be in the land but not necessarily a land_fill_

Piracy is praxis
- Comment on Most Civilization players don't finish a single game, going by Civ 6 data, and perhaps that's the best way to play 5 months ago:
I am guilty of just restarting a game over and over until I find a good spawn point.
I often think of all the history that could have happened, the tiny people who could have done amazing things, who disappear into the ether as I click a button…
Ooo I’m right next to some luxury resources!

ChryslerFiat“Stellantis” car - Comment on Tinder will try AI-powered matching as the dating app continues to lose users 6 months ago:
Gonna be hard for an AI to match people based on a handful of pictures and a few hundred characters. That’s what’s always turned me off about swiping apps
- Comment on Democrat teams up with movie industry to propose website-blocking law 6 months ago:
And as we all know blocking websites is 100% effective and not an exercise in futility against a protocol designed to survive nuclear war.
- Comment on Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search 6 months ago:
No, you could submit a request and just parse the HTML. This allowed people to write search proxies and then filter the results. Not as good as an actual API but it worked.

If you set your user agent to Lynx it won’t need JavaScript

I helped by playing Satisfactory.
- Comment on Max is testing always-on HBO channels 8 months ago:
One of the common complaints from early cord cutters was that picking something to watch was harder than just having channels to flip through.
Maybe this solves that problem, but I think a better way would be user-curated playlists that you can shuffle through.
But if they could have an adult swim channel that has bumpers it would be cool.

If you don’t have a problem with swastikas then it is you who are the fascist
- Comment on Subnautica 2 early access should last "2 to 3 years" - it'll launch with "several biomes" and "some narrative" 9 months ago:
Or they can charge full price for early access, cancel the game, and then leave it available for purchase like KSP2.

Wavecore sounds like cottagecore but for 50s-60s surfer culture.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 11 months ago:
“Remote work is not compatible with a high ambition level plus high speed,”
Because wasting time shipping squishy sacks of flesh through meatspace to push buttons is so much faster than having them push buttons at home. /s
