Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • Most people don't care about quality

    Jump

  • From my anedoctal understanding, people only really start caring about quality when they become invested in something. Of course most people have a threshold of "Lowest acceptable quality" for most things such as music, comics, movies, games; but unless you know what to look out for, you really won't get, or maybe even care, about all the things that makes ABC better than XYZ.

  • Blogs Rot. Wikis Wait.

    Jump

  • In a way, wikis are the best aspect of the internet as a social tool: valuable information that's easy to find and will easily lead you to related information

  • Xiaomi global bootloader unlock policy has changed

    Jump

  • They've been a shitty company for years now, so this is not surprising

    While earlier Xiaomi allowed users to unlock up to three devices per year, the new policy brought that number down to a single device per year and applies to both China and the rest of the world.

    Given that it's per user, you can probably sidestep this shit by creating a new xiaomi account when you get the phone, as you're likely going to flash a custom rom to get rid of the endless bloatware that they do their best to reinstall every update.

  • Collection of insane and fun facts about SQLite

    Jump

  • Their commitment to backwards compatibility, to the point of keeping a known bug that allows primary keys to be null, is both amazing and "wtf".

  • Peer-to-peer serverless decentralized social media protocol built on The IPFS

    Jump

  • The moment I read "no transaction fees", I immediately wondered why that would be listed as a feature. Turns out it's because it uses crypto, though I don't understand why. Free domain names?

  • Why have sex when you can have cake?

    Because the cake is a lie, duh

  • Insiders say cutting-edge graphics are too costly for AAA games

    Jump

  • I guess normies still equate graphic quality with overall game quality, so that's why there's such a big emphasis on photorrealism for many AAA games. An old colleague from university, ~2010, only liked to play the shiniest, "best looking" stuff and scoffed at 2D games, "we're way past super nintendos".

  • For palworld players, Nintendo is the current boogeyman, thanks to the Legends Arceus gameplay patents.

  • That and Roblox, the commercially successful metaverses that zuckberg dreamed of.

  • Burnout ≠ Working Too Much

    Jump

  • If burnout was a natural byproduct of working too much (or too hard, or for too many hours), we’d see every founder/C-level suffering from it.

    Oh, a comedy piece! Well deserved sarcasm aside, that bit only tends to be true to small and maybe medium companies, where the top isn't an impenetrable ivory tower.

    the real energy drain is when they ask themselves: Why am I doing this?

    Because they have to eat and pay their bills, that is literally the only thing keeping people doing the soul crushing shit thrown at them.
