Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • What didn't you understand before about why certain things are but now do because of your experience?

    Jump

  • Mostly myself. When I was a teenager, I was an insufferable, arrogant shit person. I got better during college and even better after getting my first job, I started to understand better why I was such an arrogant asshole and why people, especially women, really would not rather interact with me.

  • I guess I'm not too addicted, though 99.9% of all my direct communication relies on it, so that'd be the biggest blow I'd feel. I almost never play online, so I'd be fine on that, though I'd have to rely on whatever's already installed on my computer. Maybe I have to bite the bullet and make a home media server to put all my GOG stuff there... Half of my salary just for an 8tb drive, tho 😭

  • Pretty much this, which leads to a bajillion different forks and similar-but-not-quite alternatives that have some neat features but lack others, which your instance of choice probably won't ever migrate to and which all risk being abandoned by the single person that decides to work on it.

    Just to give a taste of forks - https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-apps/issues/47

  • The stars aligned and you are now one of the most sought after people currently living. What is it about you that the world is in desperate need of?

    Jump

  • If they're desperately seeking me, then shit must be really fucked up. Might as well start a new religion and pull a Gobind Singh before I die - he was the last sikh guru and named their holy book as the eternal guru, an equivalent would be the pope stepping down and claiming no more popes are needed, because people have the bible.

  • X jacks up Premium+ prices 37.5%, hits some markets harder

    Jump

  • Who is stupid enough to be paying for that shit? Or is this premium+ what bot accounts need to reach the masses like elon's shit takes?

  • What are some fun lightweight mobile games?

    Jump

  • Get Lemuroid and go crazy on 16-bit era and GBA RPGs.

  • Classified fighter jet specs leaked on War Thunder forums – again

  • Why do you do that to yourself?

  • What do you want for Christmas but you probably won't get?

    Jump

  • Best I can do is some shoddy pirate yugioh's

  • What is the point of sharing something on social media?

    Jump

  • Because social media will usually allow us to contact other people with similar niche interests, people that we'd be hard pressed to find IRL

  • Everyone's dead now

    Jump

  • Wouldn't physically being on said planet be deadly? It must have an absurdly high gravity if there's so much time dilation

    That or the planet must be travelling at significant fractions of lightspeed, which makes landing there a challenge of its own

  • Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind?

    Jump

  • One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4

  • Sounds straight out of Paranoia RPG. Friend Computer knows what is best for you. To imply that Friend Computer does not have your best intents in its algorithms is treason.

  • Brick phones will ring in an unlikely revival

    Jump

  • You're lucky to get a human to call you, I only get robocalls, literally zero humans on the other side of the line, either trying to convince me to borrow money or a fraud attempt trying to convince me "a purchase was just made on your account, press 1 to confirm or 2 to talk to our support" - on the latter, a human sometimes answers when you press 2, but they deserve all the shit you can throw at them because they're fucking fraudsters and they know it.

  • Your favourite 40K faction?

    Jump

  • Orks definitely make the best stories, the cockney accent is just a cherry on top. Them joining other factions because of how cunning they are is always incredible.

    I like the old necrons, the ones that were all terminators bent on eradicating all life in the galaxy, a threat so dire the space bugs would nope the fuck away from their planets.

  • Brick phones will ring in an unlikely revival

    Jump

  • We still need some way to fix the endless robocall and fraud spam that we can't even block because they're always using a different number

    Jump

  • So, kinda like Freenet or I2P?

  • I kinda miss when places would host their own videos instead of relying on youtube, but that's the problem of a centralized internet, the majority of people won't want to leave yt/ig/fb/tiktok/twitter/reddit in order to watch or read whatever you posted.
