  • I have the end credits of both Portal games in my playlist. I think we can agree those are some of the best credits in gaming history.

  • What is “cheese” called in your language?

    Jump

  • Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

  • Microsoft’s Recall feature is still threat to privacy despite recent tweaks

  • Maybe it's time you invested some time in finding alternatives that let you stay in control of said hardware. I know time is in short supply for all of us, so consider your priorities.

  • Boring flat dark design interfaces.

    I miss the CDE colour scheme. The BeOS funky 3D icons. Buttons that look like buttons. Tabs that look like tabs. Now everything is just flat, bland and monochromatic. It's sad.

  • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump

  • This. You have to load a whole ******* web renderer context so that developers can more easily add "features" like emojis and animated gifs to a ******* mail client. Same thing with Teams.

    It's all so woefully wasteful, slow, painful. But it's OK, we now have loads of RAM, fast SSDs, multi-core multi-thread ultra-fast CPUs anyway, and gifs really are a must-have in modern corporate communication.

    Just get out of my lawn.

  • What are some creative ways to use an unused telephone jack outlet?

    Jump

  • I can confirm those numbers, I once was touching the terminal when a call came through. Shocking experience, would not recommend.

  • What are some blogs you still read?

    Jump

  • Why don't the whole planet just use UTC+00:00 / Universal Time without time zones?

    Jump

  • Same reason some people use miles instead of kilometers, or that most people use Windows even if they hate it.

    Inertia is a powerful force.

  • Will LLMs make finding answers online a thing of the past?

    Jump

  • Agreed, if we look closely we can find some Bradbury and William Gibson elements in the lovely dystopia we're currently enjoying.

  • At this rate that day is not too distant, I'm affraid.

    I was expecting either Huxley or Orwell to be right, not both.

  • True, but soon the sources will be AI generated too, in a big GIGO loop.

  • how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

    Jump

  • I'm an optimist.

  • Yeah, we're managed to fuck up the one tool that could bring global cooperation. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

  • Trump calls US program helping boost internet access 'racist'

    Jump

  • Sorry, I was having one of those days, I guess.

    I haven't found a good way to filter by subject, so thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.

  • I will down vote any and all news that referes to something that the Weird Cheeto in command said.

  • Tinnitus is now a high pitch version of all the stuff that gave it to you. How it's going?

    Jump

  • Right now I have chipmunks singing "Expresso Macchiato" in my brain.

  • The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of other neat inventions that deal with that.

    The problem with traffic is caused by lack of investment in public transportation. Have a look at how they solved it in Paris.
